Chapter 6 When Fantasies Meet Realities

Abstract

A second, likewise holy law must be fulfilled, given to us and thereby to all other people of the earth by scripture ... “There should be one law for the citizen and for the stranger who dwells among you!” No people in this world have suffered so terribly from the transgression of this high law than the people of Israel dispersed among all peoples. This tough lesson must not be forgotten! We should and must take into our heart the inhabitants of the Holy Land in full brotherhood.We should treat them as full citizens with all rights, without any exception. Otherwise, we prove all those right that in past, present and future will breach and have breached our full civil rights. Here, too, the pinnacle of science only just attained what the genius already realized three thousand years ago. Protection of national minorities is its last word. ... The Jew, the victim of all injustice, is designated through Jacob’s blessing to realize justice. This conviction kept him upright through unspeakable torment, now the time of fulfillment has arrived.1
