MarxistsAndJews

Sir,-Inarecentradio replyDr.Rumblestatedthat itwouldbeagainstthereligionofaJudaisttobea Communist.Itisofcourse wellknownthatmanyCommunistsareJews.

HilaireBellocwroteon thesubjectinG.K.'sWeekly,London,February4, 1937,as.follows:"Asfor anyonewhodoesnotknow thatthepresentrevolutionaryBolshevistmovementis JewishinRussia,Icanonly saythathemustbeaman whoistakeninbythesuppressionsofourdeplorable Press."

TheJewishChronicle (London,January6,1933) notedtheprosperitybrought totheJudaistsinthese words:"Overone-thirdof theJewsinRussiahavebecomeofficials."

Itis,ofcourse,absolute nonsensetospeakofthe "destructionofsynagogues." Nosuchactiontookplace, andtheproofofthatisthe silenceofourlocal'Judaic pressandthetestimonyof theunfortunaterefugees fromCommunist-dominated countries.

Theonly"persecution" thatthesynagoguehashad tobearintheSovietisthat ofitscongregationshaving toworkonSaturdays!

Theso-called"anti-semitictrialsoftheninedoctors"wasalaughablepiece ofplay-acting,inwhichthe prosecutorsandJustice Ministersdirectingthetrial wereJudaists. Observe,however,the mannerinwhichallofthe thenrulersarenowtop- plinginCommunistlands, inexactlythesameway thatthepredecessorsdid. WasCommunism"antisemitic"whentheJew Trotskywasmurderedon theordersoftheJewBeria? Ofcoursenot. But Jewsmerelybecausemany areCommunistsisnot aproofthatCommunismis essentiallyJewish:avery plausiblecasecouldbebuilt upinAustraliathatCommunismisIrishbecauseso manypeople,renegadesto theChurchandtoIreland, havedisgracedtheirfamily namesbyembracingCommunism.

Anyonewhostudiesthe religionofJudaismwillbe struckbythefactthatit doesdotrelyonauthority. ThereisnothingcorrespondingtoaPope,ora Synod,oraconferencein theJudaicreligionwhich haspowertodefinemorals ordogmas.

iscompletelypreposterous.

ThefactsarethatthereligionofJudaismisincapableofgivingitsfollowers directioninthismatter,and thatmanyJudaistsbybirth havebecometheleadersof theCommunistconspiracy. Itisimportantthatthisdistinctionbekeptclearlyin mind.

DoubtsDifference

Sir,-Iwasastonishedto readthatDr.Rumblesaid thatJudaismandCommunismareincompatible!Jacob Schiff,hesays,repentedof assistingtheBolesheviks.

ButIdoknowthatThe JewishChronicle,London, in1919,statesthat:

"Thereismuchinthe factofBolshevismitself,in thefactthatsomanyJews areBolshevists,inthefact thattheidealsofBoislam atmanypointsarec nantwiththefinestidealsof Judaism."

Ayearlater,whensurely themostoptimisticobserver couldnothavefailedto knowofthehugebloodbathswhichwereinprogressthroughouttheSoviet Republics,TheAmerican HebrewofSeptember10, 1920,saidthis:

"WhatJewishidealism andJewishdiscontenthave sopowerfullycontributedto accomplishinRussia,the samehistoricqualitiesof theJewishmindandheart aretendingtopromotein othercountries."

Butevenin1935,Rabbi StephenWiseisreportedin theAmericanBulletinof May15,1935,assaying: "SomecallitMarxism-I callitJudaism." Asafinalamazingfact, thereisanewspapercalled theJewishClarion(London),andtheproprietors aretheJewishCommitteeof theBritishCommunist Party.

Doesthissuggestthatit ispossibleforpeoplecallingthemselves"Jews"to beCommunists?Ofcourse itdoes-whyeventhesecretaryofourlocalCommunistPartyisSamAarons!

WhatCatholicshaveto beveryinterestedinisto examinetoseeifthereis anythinginthereligionof Judaismwhichcouldforbid Communistactivities-itis wrongtoblameareligion oranationforthefaultsof somemembers.
