BARON LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD, 1869.
THE JEWISH QUESTION
TO approach the Jewish question is to be confronted with every great question of the day—social, political, financial, humanitarian, national, and religious. Each phase should be treated by an expert; but however discussed or dealt with, there is one point of view which should never be lost sight of, namely, the point of view of humanity. First and foremost we must be human if we would raise our voice on so human a theme.
JOSEPHINE LAZARUS, 1892.
EVERY country has the Jews it deserves.
K. E. FRANZOS, 1875.
TO base the appeal for justice to present-day Jewry upon the cultural services of ancient Israel would be treason to the inalienable rights of man. A people may for a time be robbed of these rights, but—whatever the alleged political reason for such a crime—it cannot be legally or equitably deprived of them.
