Steve, pay very little mind to Fiona! She's a card-carrying member of
the feminazi rationale!ehe ie. All men who do not agree with our
feminist views are to be labelled as evil & misogynistic. All men who
share a tasteless sense of humor are to be labelled as unfunny &
racist. All men who enjoy a nice juicy **** every so often are to be

bluesman from Chicago is considered America's first great white blues
player" - MIKE BLOOMFIELD (Paul Butterfield Blues Band).."One of the
great mysteries that has always puzzled me is how Jews, who account
for such a tiny fraction of the world's population, have been able to
achieve so much and excel in so many different fields - science,
music, medicine, literature, arts, business and more. If you listed
the most influential people of the last hundred years, three at the
top of the list would be Einstein, Freud and Marx; all were Jews. Many
more belong on the list, yet Jews comprise at most less than 3 percent
of the United States population. They are an amazing people. Imagine
the persecution they endured over the centuries: pogroms, temple
burnings, Cossack raids, uprootings of families, their dispersal to
the winds and the Holocaust. After the Dias****a, they could not own
land or wor****p in much of the world; they were prohibited from voting
and were told where to live. Yet their children survived and Jews
became by far the most accomplished people per capita that the world
has ever produced" - MARLON BRANDO, excerpt from "SONGS MY MOTHER
TAUGHT ME").."The extraordinary European Jews who emigrated to New
York were enriching the city's intellectual life with an intensity
that has probably never been equaled anywhere during a comparable
period of time. I was raised largely by these Jews...They were my
teachers; they were my employers; they were my friends. They
introduced me to a world of books and ideas that I didn't know
existed" - MARLON BRANDO, IBID.."The pursuit of knowledge for its own
sake, an almost fanatical love of justice, and the desire for personal
independence - these are the features of Jewish tradition that make me
thank my stars that I belong to it" - ALBERT EINSTEIN (Greatest Mind

honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine
were priests in the Temple of Solomon" - BENJAMIN DISRAELI, 1804-1881,
first Jewish Prime Minister of England, responding to Irish Roman
Catholic leader Daniel O' Connell, in the House of Commons, who cast
aspersions on his Jewish ancestry.."Above all this {medieval
persecution} the genius of that wonderful people rose supreme. While
those around them were grovelling in the darkness of besotted
ignorance..the Jews were still pursuing the path of knowledge,
amassing learning, and stimulating progress with the same unflinching
constancy that they manifested in their faith" - WILLIAM LECKY,
Historian (from his Spirit of Rationalism in Europe, 1868).."Perhaps
my own personal early background, a thoroughly anti-Semitic culture,
enables me to perceive more clearly than most certain realities of
Jewish-Gentile relations in the US. Anti-Semites, whether of the truly
vicious or almost casual type, perceive Jews as inferior...On the
contrary, they are superior" - STEVE ALLEN (from his introduction to

WILL DURANT (The Story Of Civilization, Volume I).."Certainly, the
world without the Jews would have been a radically different place.
Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon all the Jewish insights.
But we cannot be sure. All the great conceptual discoveries of the
human intellect seem obvious and inescapable once they had been
revealed, but it requires a special genius to formulate them for the
first time. The Jews had this gift. To them we owe the idea of
equality before the law, both divine and human; of the sanctity of
life and the dignity of human person; of the individual conscience and
so a personal redemption; of collective conscience and so of social
responsibility; of peace as an abstract ideal and love as the
foundation of justice, and many other items which constitute the basic
moral furniture of the human mind. Without Jews it might have been a
much emptier place" - PAUL JOHNSON, British Historian, "A History of
Jews & A History of Christianity.."Western civilization is undeniably
a 'Jewified' civilization, however offensive the word may be to our
ears because of the ugly use made of it by anti-Semites - anti-Semites
believed that Jews were everywhere, and in a sense they were almost
everywhere that counted in modern society" - ALBERT LINDEMANN in
Esau's Tears: Modern anti-Semitism and the Rise of the Jews.."The Jew
is the emblem of eternity. He who neither slaughter nor torture of
thousands of years could destroy, he who neither fire, nor sword, nor
Inquisition was able to wipe off the face of the earth. He who was the
first to produce the Oracles of God. He who has been for so long the
Guardian of Prophecy and has transmitted it to the rest of the world.
Such a nation cannot be destroyed. The Jew is as everlasting as
Eternity itself" - LEO TOLSTOY.."On November 1, 1683, the British

enormous, it is also enormously complex. The substantial size of New

excerpt from JEWISH NY: NOTABLE NEIGHBORHOODS & MEMORABLE MOMENTS BY
IRA WOLFMAN.."The Jews of New York City today make up the largest,
richest, most creative Jewish community in the world. Yet little more
than a hundred years ago, most of them were desperately poor, living
in teeming immigrant neighborhoods. How these Jews - through struggle,
education, and determination - transformed themselves and their city
is a great American success story. Jewish New Yorkers powered major
city businesses such as the garment and media industries, reinvented
Broadway theatre, and helped invent the modern labor movement. They
also won Nobel Prizes and introduced the United States to such
delights as pastrami, Egg Creams, and an intimitable form of Jewish
comedy" - GREATEST JEWISH CITY IN THE WORLD, IBID.."New York City has
