H.G. Wells, in his new book “The Fate of Homo Sapiens,” out today, predicts that the troubles being experienced by the Jews will intensify “until they are prepared to assimilate and abandon the chosen people idea. “In a reference to the Jewish question, Mr. Wells declares: “Why should any country want these in assimilable aliens, bent on preserving their distinctiveness? Until they are prepared to assimilate and abandon the chosen people idea, their troubles are bound to intensify.”
