An idea is circulating that to combat antisemitism the Jews should be declared a "race" in America, with the effect that every anti-Semitic expression or comment would be automatically classified as a "racist" attack. And there is nothing a more serious crime in America than being a racist or being accused of racism. The punishments are draconian.
How could we suddenly be declared a race when for 70 years we the Jews and the liberals the world over had been fighting the very concept that race exists, and that we Jews are a separate, identifiable, race ? Technically, it can be done because race is such a vaporous concept that everything can be a race. The question is: Is this good for the Jews? I have to think it over.
Pic.: Kautsky: the Father of Communism/Social Democracy wrote about the question a hundred years ago. He says we are not. And nothing will come out of Zionism.
