猶太復國主義與布爾什維克主義
為猶太人的靈魂而鬥爭
By the Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill.
有些人喜歡猶太人,有些人卻不喜歡; 但是沒有一個有思想的人可以懷疑他們無疑是世界上最強大,最引人注目的種族。
迪斯雷利,英格蘭猶太人總理和保守黨領袖,他始終忠於自己的種族,並為自己的出身而自豪,他在一個眾所周知的場合說:“當各國與猶太人打交道時,主與各國打交道。“。 當然,當我們看看俄羅斯這個悲慘的國家時,世界上所有國家的猶太人都受到最嚴厲的對待,並將其與我們自己國家的財富形成鮮明對比,而這個國家的財富似乎在如此可怕的危險中得到了保護。 在這些時候,我們必須承認,世界歷史上發生的任何事情都沒有歪曲迪斯雷利自信主張的真相。
好猶太人和壞猶太人
在人類的抗爭中不斷進行的善與惡之間的衝突達不到猶太人種族的強度。 人類的雙重性質無處可見或更為嚴重。 我們欠基督徒啟示中的猶太人一種道德體系,即使它與超自然完全分離,也將是人類最寶貴的財產,實際上是所有其他智慧和學習的成果。 在那個體系和那個信仰上,已經建立了羅馬帝國的殘骸,整個現存的文明。
同樣令人震驚的種族可能在目前正處於產生另一種道德和哲學體系的實際過程中,因為基督教是仁慈的,如果不被逮捕,將無可挽回地破壞基督教所呈現的一切。似乎基督的福音和敵基督的福音注定要源自同一個人; 並且這種陰陽怪氣而莫名其妙的種族被選為最高級的表現形式,無論是神聖的還是邪惡的。
'國民'猶太人
沒有什麼比將每個人歸為構成國家性格的品質中可識別的份額更大的錯誤。 每個國家和每個種族都有各種各樣的人 - 好的,壞的,而且大多數情況下都是無動於衷的。 沒有什麼比通過種族或出身來否定個人,以及根據他的個人優點和行為來判斷他的權利更為錯誤。 在像猶太人這樣奇特天才的人中,對比更加生動,極端分離更加廣泛,由此產生的後果更具決定性。
在目前的命運時期,猶太人中有三條主要的政治觀念。其中兩個對人類有很大的幫助和希望,第三個是絕對具有破壞性的。
首先,居住在世界各國的猶太人認同自己的國家,進入其國家生活,並在忠實地堅持自己的宗教的同時,將自己視為最充分意義上的國家的公民。 他們這樣一個住在英格蘭的猶太人會說:“我是一個持守猶太信仰的英國人。” 這是一個有價值的概念,並且在最高程度上是有用的。 我們在英國很清楚,在偉大的鬥爭中,許多土地上可能被稱為“國家猶太人”的影響力在盟軍一方佔據主導地位; 在我們自己的軍隊中,猶太士兵發揮了最顯著的作用,一些人升到軍隊的指揮部,其他人則贏得了維多利亞十字勳章。
俄羅斯國民猶太人儘管遭受了惡意,但他們仍然在俄羅斯的國民生活中發揮了光榮而有用的作用。 作為銀行家和工業家,他們極力推動俄羅斯經濟資源的發展,他們最重要的是創建了這些卓越的組織 - 俄羅斯合作社。 在政治方面,他們的支持在很大程度上得到了自由和進步的運動,他們一直是與法國和英國建立友誼的堅定支持者之一。
國際猶太人
在對所有這些猶太人努力領域的暴力反對中,提升了國際猶太人的計劃。這個險惡的聯盟的擁護者大多是在猶太人因種族受到迫害的國家中不受歡迎的人群中崛起的。他們中的大多數人,如果不是全部的話,都拋棄了他們祖先的信仰,並將他們的思想與下一個世界的所有精神希望分開了。猶太人之間的這種運動並不新鮮。從亞當·魏薩普時代到卡爾·馬克思時代,再到托洛茨基(俄羅斯),庫恩·貝拉(匈牙利),羅莎盧森堡(德國)和艾瑪·戈德曼(美國),這個世界範圍內的推翻共謀的陰謀文明和社會在被逮捕的發展,嫉妒的惡意和不可能的平等的基礎上重建,一直在穩步增長。作為現代作家,韋伯斯特夫人如此巧妙地表現出來,在法國大革命的悲劇中是一個明顯可識別的部分。它一直是十九世紀每次顛覆運動的主要動力;現在最後,來自歐洲和美國大城市的黑社會的這一群非凡人物抓住了俄羅斯人民的頭髮,幾乎成了這個龐大帝國無可爭議的主人。
恐怖分子猶太人
沒有必要誇大布爾什維克主義創作中所起的作用,也不需要誇大俄羅斯革命的實際發生,這些國際和大多數無神論的猶太人,當然是一個非常偉大的猶太人;它可能超過所有其他人。除了列寧之外,大多數領導人物都是猶太人。此外,主要的靈感和驅動力來自猶太領導人。因此,純粹的俄羅斯人格奧爾基·契切林被他的名義下屬利特維諾夫黯然失色,俄羅斯人如布哈林或盧納恰爾斯基的影響力無法與托洛茨基或紅色城堡(彼得格勒)或克拉辛的獨裁者齊諾維夫的力量相提並論。拉德克 - 所有猶太人。在蘇聯機構中,猶太人的優勢更加驚人。反猶太人特別委員會所採用的恐怖主義制度中的突出部分(如果不是確實是主要部分)已由猶太人採取,在一些值得注意的情況下由猶太人採取。在庫恩·貝拉統治匈牙利的短暫恐怖時期,猶太人獲得了同樣的邪惡突出。德國(特別是在巴伐利亞州)也出現了同樣的現象,只要這種瘋狂被允許掠奪德國人民的臨時墮落。雖然在所有這些國家中,有許多非猶太人和猶太革命者中最糟糕的人一樣壞,但後者與他們在人口中所佔比例的比例是令人驚訝的。
'猶太人的保護者'
毋庸置疑,最激烈的複仇激情在俄羅斯人民的對抗中激動不已。在安東·伊萬諾維奇·鄧尼金將軍的權威可以達到的地方,總是給予猶太人民保護,並且他的軍官們做出了艱苦的努力,以防止報復並懲罰那些犯有罪的人。在這種情況下,Petlurist宣傳反對鄧尼金將軍譴責他是猶太人的保護者。希爾希利先生的侄女蒂亞希利的侄女在將他們在基耶夫的個人經歷聯繫起來時,已經宣布,他們不止一次知道對猶太人犯罪的官員被罷免並被派往城市前面。但成群結隊的強盜整體而言。廣闊的俄羅斯帝國正在變得充滿感染,毫不猶豫地滿足他們對血液的渴望和報復,只要有機會就會犧牲無辜的猶太人口。 Makruo的強盜,Petlura和Gregorieff的成群人,他們在最殘酷的大屠殺中發現了他們的成功,到處發現半昏迷,半激怒的人群,他們以最惡劣和最骯髒的形式對反猶太主義作出了熱烈的反應。
事實上,在許多情況下,猶太人的利益和猶太人的禮拜場所被布爾什維克除外,因為他們普遍的敵意,越來越多地將俄羅斯的猶太人種族與現在正在犯下的反叛者聯繫在一起。 這對數百萬無助的人來說是不公正的,他們中的大多數人本身就是革命政權的受害者。 因此,特別重要的是培養和發展任何強烈標記的猶太運動,這種運動直接導致這些致命的聯繫。 正是在這裡,猶太復國主義在當下對整個世界具有如此深遠的意義。
猶太人的家
猶太復國主義為猶太人種族的政治觀念提供了第三個範圍。 與國際共產主義形成鮮明對比的是,它向猶太人呈現了一種具有指揮性的民族觀念。 由於征服巴勒斯坦,英國政府有機會和責任確保全世界的猶太人種族成為國家生活的家園和中心。 巴爾福先生的政治家風度和歷史感很快抓住了這個機會。 現在宣布已經不可逆轉地決定了英國的政策。 為實際目的,猶太復國主義項目的領導者魏斯曼博士的火熱能量。 在許多最著名的英國猶太人的支持下,在艾倫比勳爵的全權支持下,都致力於實現這一鼓舞人心的運動的成功。
當然,巴勒斯坦太小,無法容納超過猶太人種族的一小部分,大多數猶太人也不願意去那裡。 但是,如果可能發生的話,在我們自己的一生中,約旦的銀行應該在英國王室的保護下建立一個可能包含三四百萬猶太人的猶太國家。 世界歷史從各個角度來看都是有益的,特別是與大英帝國最真實的利益相協調。
猶太復國主義已經成為俄羅斯政治動蕩的一個因素,作為布爾什維克界與國際共產主義體系的強大競爭影響。 沒有什麼能比托洛茨基一般攻擊猶太復國主義者的憤怒更重要了,尤其是韋斯曼博士。 他心中的殘酷滲透使他毫無疑問地認為,他在猶太統治下的世界共產主義國家的計劃直接受到這一新理想的阻撓和阻礙,這種理想將猶太人在每一塊土地上的能量和希望都指向一個更簡單的, 一個更真實,更可實現的目標。 猶太復國主義者和布爾什維克猶太人之間現在開始的鬥爭,不亞於為猶太人的靈魂而鬥爭。
忠誠猶太人的責任
在這種情況下,特別重要的是,每個國家忠於領養土地的國家猶太人應該在每一個場合出面,就像英格蘭的許多人已經做過的那樣,並且在每一項打擊的措施中都佔有重要地位。布爾什維克的陰謀。通過這種方式,他們將能夠維護猶太人名字的榮譽,並向全世界表明,布爾什維克運動不是猶太人的運動,而是被猶太人的大團體激烈地否定。但在任何領域對布爾什維克主義的消極抵制是不夠的。在道德和社會領域都需要積極和切實可行的替代方案;在巴勒斯坦建立一個極其迅速的猶太國家中心,這個中心不僅可以成為中歐不幸之地的受壓迫者的避難所,而且也將成為猶太人團結和猶太人榮耀之殿的象徵,提出了許多祝福的任務。

Zionism versus Bolshevism.
A Struggle for the Soul of the Jewish People
By the Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill.
SOME people like Jews and some do not; but no thoughtful man can doubt the fact that they are beyond all question the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has ever appeared in the world.
Disraeli, the Jew Prime Minister of England, and Leader of the Conservative Party, who was always true to his race and proud of his origin, said on a well-known occasion: "The Lord deals with the nations as the nations deal with the Jews." Certainly when we look at the miserable state of Russia, where of all countries in the world the Jews were the most cruelly treated, and contrast it with the fortunes of our own country, which seems to have been so providentially preserved amid the awful perils of these times, we must admit that nothing that has since happened in the history of the world has falsified the truth of Disraeli's confident assertion.
Good and Bad Jews
The conflict between good and evil which proceeds unceasingly in the breast of man nowhere reaches such an intensity as in the Jewish race. The dual nature of mankind is nowhere more strongly or more terribly exemplified. We owe to the Jews in the Christian revelation a system of ethics which, even if it were entirely separated from the supernatural, would be incomparably the most precious possession of mankind, worth in fact the fruits of all other wisdom and learning put together. On that system and by that faith there has been built out of the wreck of the Roman Empire the whole of our existing civilization.
And it may well be that this same astounding race may at the present time be in the actual process of producing another system of morals and philosophy, as malevolent as Christianity was benevolent, which, if not arrested, would shatter irretrievably all that Christianity has rendered possible. It would almost seem as if the gospel of Christ and the gospel of Antichrist were destined to originate among the same people; and that this mystic and mysterious race had been chosen for the supreme manifestations, both of the divine and the diabolical.
'National' Jews
There can be no greater mistake than to attribute to each individual a recognizable share in the qualities which make up the national character. There are all sorts of men -- good, bad and, for the most part, indifferent -- in every country, and in every race. Nothing is more wrong than to deny to an individual, on account of race or origin, his right to be judged on his personal merits and conduct. In a people of peculiar genius like the Jews, contrasts are more vivid, the extremes are more widely separated, the resulting consequences are more decisive.
At the present fateful period there are three main lines of political conception among the Jews. two of which are helpful and hopeful in a very high degree to humanity, and the third absolutely destructive.
First there are the Jews who, dwelling in every country throughout the world, identify themselves with that country, enter into its national life and, while adhering faithfully to their own religion, regard themselves as citizens in the fullest sense of the State which has received them. Such a Jew living in England would say, "I am an English man practising the Jewish faith." This is a worthy conception, and useful in the highest degree. We in Great Britain well know that during the great struggle the influence of what may be called the "National Jews" in many lands was cast preponderatingly on the side of the Allies; and in our own Army Jewish soldiers have played a most distinguished part, some rising to the command of armies, others winning the Victoria Cross for valour.
The National Russian Jews, in spite of the disabilities under which they have suffered, have managed to play an honorable and useful part in the national life even of Russia. As bankers and industrialists they have strenuously promoted the development of Russia's economic resources, and they were foremost in the creation of those remarkable organizations, the Russian Co-operative Societies. In politics their support has been given, for the most part, to liberal and progressive movements, and they have been among the staunchest upholder of friendship with France and Great Britain.
International Jews
In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognizable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.
Terrorist Jews
There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews, it is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. Thus Tchitcherin, a pure Russian, is eclipsed by his nominal subordinate Litvinoff, and the influence of Russians like Bukharin or Lunacharski cannot be compared with the power of Trotsky, or of Zinovieff, the Dictator of the Red Citadel (Petrograd) or of Krassin or Radek -- all Jews. In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is even more astonishing. And the prominent, if not indeed the principal, part in the system of terrorism applied by the Extraordinary Commissions for Combating Counter-Revolution has been taken by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses. The same evil prominence was obtained by Jews in the brief period of terror during which Bela Kun ruled in Hungary. The same phenomenon has been presented in Germany (especially in Bavaria), so far as this madness has been allowed to prey upon the temporary prostration of the German people. Although in all these countries there are many non-Jews every whit as bad as the worst of the Jewish revolutionaries, the part played by the latter in proportion to their numbers in the population is astonishing.
'Protector of the Jews'
Needless to say, the most intense passions of revenge have been excited in the breasts of the Russian people. Wherever General Denikin's authority could reach, protection was always accorded to the Jewish population, and strenuous efforts were made by his officers to prevent reprisals and to punish those guilty of them. So much was this the case that the Petlurist propaganda against General Denikin denounced him as the Protector of the Jews. The Misses Healy, nieces of Mr. Tim Healy, in relating their personal experiences in Kieff, have declared that to their knowledge on more than one occasion officers who committed offenses against Jews were reduced to the ranks and sent out of the city to the front. But the hordes of brigands by whom the whole. vast expanse of the Russian Empire is becoming infested do not hesitate to gratify their lust for blood and for revenge at the expense of the innocent Jewish population whenever an opportunity occurs. The brigand Makhno, the hordes of Petlura and of Gregorieff, who signalized their every success by the most brutal massacres, everywhere found among the half-stupefied, half-infuriated population an eager response to anti-Semitism in its worst and foulest forms.
The fact that in many cases Jewish interests and Jewish places of worship are excepted by the Bolsheviks from their universal hostility has tended more and more to associate the Jewish race in Russia with the villainies, which are now being perpetrated. This is an injustice on millions of helpless people, most of whom are themselves sufferers from the revolutionary regime. It becomes, therefore, specially important to foster and develop any strongly-marked Jewish movement which leads directly away from these fatal associations. And it is here that Zionism has such a deep significance for the whole world at the present time.
A Home for the Jews
Zionism offers the third sphere to the political conceptions of the Jewish race. In violent contrast to international communism, it presents to the Jew a national idea of a commanding character. it has fallen to the British Government, as the result of the conquest of Palestine, to have the opportunity and the responsibility of securing for the Jewish race all over the world a home and centre of national life. The statesmanship and historic sense of Mr. Balfour were prompt to seize this opportunity. Declarations have now been made which have irrevocably decided the policy of Great Britain. The fiery energies of Dr. Weissmann, the leader, for practical purposes, of the Zionist project. backed by many of the most prominent British Jews, and supported by the full authority of Lord Allenby, are all directed to achieving the success of this inspiring movement.
Of course, Palestine is far too small to accommodate more than a fraction of the Jewish race, nor do the majority of national Jews wish to go there. But if, as may well happen, there should be created in our own lifetime by the banks of the Jordan a Jewish State under the protection of the British Crown, which might comprise three or four millions of Jews, an event would have occurred in the history of the world which would, from every point of view, be beneficial, and would be especially in harmony with the truest interests of the British Empire.
Zionism has already become a factor in the political convulsions of Russia, as a powerful competing influence in Bolshevik circles with the international communistic system. Nothing could be more significant than the fury with which Trotsky has attacked the Zionists generally, and Dr. Weissmann in particular. The cruel penetration of his mind leaves him in no doubt that his schemes of a world-wide communistic State under Jewish domination are directly thwarted and hindered by this new ideal, which directs the energies and the hopes of Jews in every land towards a simpler, a truer, and a far more attainable goal. The struggle which is now beginning between the Zionist and Bolshevik Jews is little less than a struggle for the soul of the Jewish people.
Duty of Loyal Jews
It is particularly important in these circumstances that the national Jews in every country who are loyal to the land of their adoption should come forward on every occasion, as many of them in England have already done, and take a prominent part in every measure for combating the Bolshevik conspiracy. In this way they will be able to vindicate the honor of the Jewish name and make it clear to all the world that the Bolshevik movement is not a Jewish movement, but is repudiated vehemently by the great mass of the Jewish race.
But a negative resistance to Bolshevism in any field is not enough. Positive and practicable alternatives are needed in the moral as well as in the social sphere; and in building up with the utmost possible rapidity a Jewish national centre in Palestine which may become not only a refuge to the oppressed from the unhappy lands of Central Europe, but which will also be a symbol of Jewish unity and the temple of Jewish glory, a task is presented on which many blessings rest.
