reign over the world. God endowed us with genius to enable us to cope
with the problem.” (Protocol No. V.)=

_Substantiations_
(_a_) “The men of all nations shall be subject to Israel, but those who
have ruled over you shall be destroyed with the sword.”
(_Apocalypse of Baruch (LXXII), a well-known Jewish work of the first
century A.D._)
(_b_) “Our task is great and holy and its success is guaranteed.
Catholicism, our greatest foe, lay wounded in its brains. The net which
is being spread by Israel all over the surface of the earth will spread
day by day, and the glorious prophecies of our holy rights will be
finally realized. The time is approaching when Jerusalem will become the
home of worship of all peoples and the banner of the Jewish monotheism
will be flying on the most distant coast. Our strength is enormous, we
must learn how to apply it in practice. What have we to be afraid of?
The day is approaching when all the wealth of the world will become the
property of the Sons of Israel.”

(_c_) “It has always been a unique feature of Judaism that its traits of
particularism—essential to its self-preservation—have been blended with
the highest aspirations of _universalism_.”
(_Paul Goodman, “Zionism and Liberal Judaism,” Zionist Review, Nov.
1917._)
(_d_) “When we read in the Book of Isaiah that the prophet of the exile
declared that the Jews were God’s witnesses, chosen for a religious
purpose and charged with a religious mission, we believe that he was
speaking words which were inspired by God.”
(_Cl. G. Montefiore, “Outlines of Liberal Judaism,” p. 166. London:
Macmillan and Co., Limited. 1912._)
(_e_) “The Jews energetically reject the idea of fusion with the other
nationalities and cling firmly to their historical hope, _i.e._, of world
empire.”
(_From speech of Dr. Mandelstam, Professor in the University of Kiev,
Russia, delivered at the Basel Zionist Congress of 1898. See H. S.
Chamberlain’s “The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century,” Vol. I, p.
335. London: John Lane. 1913._)
(_f_) “The Jew will never be able to assimilate himself; he will never
adopt the customs and ways of other peoples. The Jew remains a Jew under
all circumstances. Every assimilation is purely exterior.”
(_From speech of Rabbi Dr. Leopold Kahn on Zionism, delivered in July,
1901, in the orthodox Jewish school in Pressburg, Idem._)
(_g_) “The governments of all countries, scourged by anti-Semitism, will
serve their own interests in assisting us to obtain the sovereignty we
want.”
(_Theo. Hertzl, “The Jewish State,” p. 11. Published by the Federation of
American Zionists, New York, 1917._)
(_h_) “Christianity itself seems to Jews only a stage in the preparation
of the world for a purified, developed and universalized Judaism.”
(_Cl. G. Montefiore, “Outlines of Liberal Judaism,” p. 163. London.
1912._)
(_i_) “Liberal Judaism has higher ambitions for the Jewish people. Above
all, it seeks to preserve the _Jewish religion_ in full beauty and power,
and _to extend its workings to a sphere co-extensive with the universe of
men_.”[26]
(_Rabbi Mattuck, quoted by Paul Goodman in his article on “Zionism and
Liberal Judaism,” in the Zionist Review, November, 1911. Reprinted by
Petty & Sons, Ltd., Whitehall Printeries, Leeds, pp. 2 and 3._)
(_j_) “It is not given to every one to _understand_ that which is not yet
finished.... Yes! The likelihood of realizing our demands and proposals
grows with our numbers and with the increase in our strength. For the
present we have reason to be satisfied with the spirit in which our
aspirations were regarded by the mighty ones of the earth. _Do not demand
more than this intimation from your Action Committee. In this respect you
must have implicit confidence in it. You may freely question it regarding
all other matters._”

1900, at the Zionist Congress. Published by the Federation of American
Zionists, New York, 1917._)

large enough to satisfy the reasonable requirements of the nation: _the
rest we shall manage for ourselves_.”
