Jews throughout the world who on the eve of Passover each year call on God to “pour out thy wrath” on the enemies of the Jews, will this year call on Him to pour out His wrath on the Bolsheviks, says today’s anti-Passover editorial in the “Emes,” Jewish Communist daily in Moscow.
“This Passover,” says the “Emes,” “will be a continuation of the partnership between the Catholic cross and the Jewish Torah against the Soviet. The Pope will collect holiday charity for Soviet Jewry, Pilsudski’s headquarters will bake matzoth for them, while the Gerar Rebbe will collect funds for ikons, thus internationalizing the Jewish Passover as a united anti-Soviet front.”
Pointing out that even last year, American, Polish and Palestinian Jewry utilized the matzoth campaign for anti-Soviet agitation, the “Emes” continues: “Passover is a complete swindle, because the Jews did not leave Egypt and did not cross the sea. Passover is only a trick utilized by Jewish capital, Zionism and the so-called Jewish Socialists for reactionary world Jewish interests.”
