“Jews are disliked because they are a small minority and because the world is ruled by hate, not by love. And the Jew has no defense. All he has is his voice of protest. Only when we are restored to the land of our fathers and the Jews are a nation unong nations will anti-Semitism be no more.”
This was the declaration of Judge Jacob Kalina, Seattle communal worker, at the open forum discussion of “Anti-Semitism: Its Causes and Cures”, at Herzl Synagogue here. Participants in the discussion included Edmon Wienir, Nathan Glesin and Max Friedman. P. Allen Rickles, Congregation president, was chairman.
“Anti-Semitism reduced to its simplest terms means that ‘we are not liked,'” Judge Kalina #eclared in his talk. “And persons who tell you that there is no anti-Semitism because you yourself may not have some in touch with it, are living in a fools’ paradise or just kidding themselves.”
