   When the Roman historian Tacitus pointed out 19 centuries ago that the   
   Jews are unique among the races of man in their intense hatred and   
   contempt for all races but their own, he was only repeating what many   
   other scholars had discovered before him. For the next 1,900 years   
   other investigators came to similar conclusions, either from a study   
   of the Jews' religious writings or from a study of the Jews' behavior   
   toward non-Jews.   
      
   Notable among these was the Great Reformer, Martin Luther, who in 1543   
   wrote in Von den Jüden und Ihren Lügen:   
      
       Does not their Talmud say, and do not their rabbis write, that it   
   is no sin to kill if a Jew kills a heathen, but it is a sin if he   
   kills a brother in Israel? It is no sin if he does not keep his oath   
   to a heathen. Therefore, to steal and rob, as they do with their   
   usury, from a heathen is a divine service. For they hold that they   
   cannot be too hard on us nor sin against us, because they are of the   
   noble blood and circumcised saints; we, however, are cursed goyim. And   
   they are the masters of the world, and we are their servants, yea,   
   their cattle....   
      
       Should someone think that I am saying too much, I am not saying   
   too much, but much too little. For I see in their writings how they   
   curse us goyim and wish us all evil in their schools and their   
   prayers.   
      
   The Jews responded to Luther like they responded to all the others.   
   They put him down as just another "hater", blinded by religious   
   bigotry. And today that's still the Jews' standard answer to everyone   
   who says or writes anything about them except the most fawning praise.   
      
   When British newsman William Cash, Los Angeles correspondent for   
   London's Daily Telegraph , reported late last year in a magazine   
   article the simple fact that the executives in Hollywood's motion   
   picture industry are nearly all Jews, they shrieked at him, "Hater!"   
   and denied his fact. When spokesmen for the National Alliance,   
   America's premier patriotic organization, discuss on the group's radio   
   programs the Jewish control of the news and entertainment media or   
   Jewish backing for gun confiscation or for racial mixing, the Jews   
   also denounce them as "haters", and a call goes out to prohibit "hate"   
   on the airwaves.   
      
   Thus, Israel Shahak's book is all the more important for being a   
   document by a knowledgeable Jew--a Jewish "insider"--about the beliefs   
   and behavior of his fellow Jews. Born in Warsaw in 1933, Shahak spent   
   a portion of his childhood in the concentration camp in Belsen, from   
   which he immigrated to Palestine in 1945. He grew up in Israel, served   
   in the Israeli military, and became a chemistry professor. Like all   
   Israelis, he became fluent in Hebrew. He also became acclimated to the   
   peculiar moral atmosphere of Israeli society: a combination of   
   overweening arrogance and deceit, a mixture of pugnacious   
   self-righteousness and duplicity.   
      
   Unlike his fellow Israelis, however, Professor Shahak is deeply   
   troubled by this peculiar atmosphere. Whereas the Jews around him take   
   it for granted that the goyim on whom they depend for economic,   
   military, and diplomatic support are too stupid ever to figure out   
   what the Jews think about them and say about them behind their backs   
   and plan to do to them when they can, and too sheeplike ever to take   
   effective action if they do figure it out, he worries. He remembers   
   that the Romans figured it out, and they consequently sacked Jerusalem   
   and chased the Jews out of Palestine. He remembers that the Germans   
   figured it out, and that's why he became an involuntary tenant in a   
   concentration camp. He's worried that if his fellow Jews continue   
   behaving as they always have, they will get themselves into some   
   really serious trouble--again.   
      
   In particular, Professor Shahak is concerned about the behavior of   
   those of his race who adhere to Judaism. He is not one of these   
   himself, and so he is able to look with some degree of objectivity at   
   the mixture of superstition, Jewish chauvinism, and hatred of non-Jews   
   which makes up the Jewish religion and its sacred writings. He   
   deplores traditional Jewish teachings, not only because of the danger   
   that some new Martin Luther will come along and spill the beans to the   
   Gentiles, but because of the spiritually debilitating effect these   
   teachings have had on the Jews themselves. Of the world of medieval   
   Jewry in Europe, the world of the ghetto and the shtetl which modern   
   Jewish writers refer to in euphoric tones as a world of quaint   
   tradition and piety, Shahak says: "It was a world sunk in the most   
   abject superstition, fanaticism, and ignorance . . . ".   
      
   He cites a number of specific instances of the ways in which Jewish   
   religious authorities have kept their flocks under control. In   
   general, the rabbis have taught their fellow Jews that their Gentile   
   neighbors are spiritually and morally unclean; that they are subhuman,   
   on a level with the beasts of the field; and that they hate Jews and   
   must be hated in return. Jews are taught that the Christian religion   
   is a religion fit only for animals, and that its founder, Jesus, was   
   the son of a prostitute and is presently immersed in a pit of boiling   
   excrement in hell.   
      
   Among the Hassidim (Hebrew for "pious ones") all of these teachings   
   are kept current. Shahak points out that a central thesis of the   
   Hassidic doctrine is that only Jews are human beings, and that the   
   universe was created for them alone. Non-Jews were created only to be   
   used by Jews. Although this teaching about the subhumanity of Gentiles   
   is most open and explicit among the bearded, sidelocked, black-hatted   
   Orthodox Jews that one sees in Jewish strongholds such as New York   
   City, it comes from the core of Jewish tradition and is accepted to a   
   greater or lesser degree by all pious Jews. It is, for example, a   
   specific tenet of the Jewish Defense League and is cited in the   
   membership handbook for that group.   
      
   Especially frustrating to Professor Shahak is the clever deception   
   which his fellow Jews use to conceal the true nature of Judaism from   
   their Gentile neighbors. Regarding the veil of false piety which   
   conceals from Gentile eyes the malevolent doctrine of the Hassidim, he   
   writes: "A chief deceiver in this case, and a good example of the   
   power of deception, was Martin Buber. His numerous works eulogizing   
   the whole Hassidic movement (including Habbad) never so much as hint   
   at the real doctrines of Hassidism concerning non-Jews." Buber   
   (1878-1965) promoted Hassidism in Germany during the rise of the
