Jews Quotes from:
-
Across Quotes
With the difficult struggle we are engaged in today, with the wave of anti-Semitism sweeping across Europe, we, who remember (the victims) every day, are obligated, as Jews and as human beings, to defend our home, the only home in the world where the Jews have the right and the strength to defend themselves by themselves.
-
Aspect Quotes
When knowledge no longer becomes the commodity of the few, but in a sense becomes equalized by everyone having access, you lose some aspect of Jewish particularity, or at least a Jewish particularity that is fundamental to the construct of Jews as people of the book, which was always interesting.
-
Began Quotes
Even on the eve of the war, fewer American Jews than other Americans were supportive of the prospect of going to war with Iraq. As American public support has declined since 2003, Jewish support has been declining in step, but because it began at a lower level, it continues to remain at a lower level of support than other Americans.
-
Accuracy Quotes
At 68, I am among the youngest Holocaust survivors, and I realize that time is running out for firsthand accounts. I consider it an obligation to record my Holocaust experiences; an obligation to Jews everywhere, to historical accuracy and to those who perished. Each recollection I record categorically refutes the writings of Holocaust deniers such as David Irving.
-
Auschwitz Quotes
Dr. Josef Mengele, who conducted experiments on Jews and Gypsies at Auschwitz (he had two doctorates, by the way) would have fit in quite nicely at Columbia, ... To paraphrase Theodor Adorno, the German Jewish philosopher who fled Nazi Germany, 'Auschwitz begins wherever somebody looks at a Columbia lab and thinks: they're only animals.'
-
Against Quotes
Evangelical Christian politicians who cheat often raise questions about hypocrisy, especially if they preached piety in public and disregarded it in private. When Jewish politicians fall, they shatter different expectations, particularly that American Jews need to work together to preserve respectability and fireproof against anti-Semitism.
-
Came Quotes
First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.
-
Amazing Quotes
Israel's creation was politically amazing and caused by a number of unusual events. And I understand. For centuries, Jews endured horrible suffering, and like other people, deserve the right to self-determination, but the way Israel is going now frightens me. Jews make awkward colonial overlords.
-
Arabs Quotes
American Jews are schizophrenic. Our polls year after year after year show the very same thing: On the one hand, on the peace process options, a majority of American Jews support - let's call it the liberal option. At the very same time, a clear majority of American Jews in the next breath say the real goal of the Arabs is to destroy Israel.
-
Allowed Quotes
I want to remind people that the Nazis weren't able to take the Jews to the crematoriums immediately. The German people wouldn't have allowed for it. Instead, the Nazis had to change public opinion. They marginalized the Jewish people, disparaged them, and made them objects of contempt.
-
African Quotes
I'm not surprised that they would attempt to create a false veneer of legitimacy by promoting their cause through the mouths of Jews and Israelis. It doesn't matter who is speaking; what matters is the content of the message, and that message of an analogy between South African apartheid and Zionism is false and extreme.
-
Ability Quotes
Because Jews were kicked out of every country in Europe at one time or another, and plenty of other places as well, there isn't an ability to identify with a national heritage - you'll never hear a Jew say 'I'm German' or 'I'm Polish,' without saying something about being Jewish as well, and for good reason.
-
Destroy Quotes
By forbidding Jews to destroy their hair, the Bible warns them away from seeking the siren song of eternal youth. By encouraging Jews to grow beards, it reminds them that they will not be young forever, that they must prepare the ground for those who come after, just as their fathers did for them.
-
Arabs Quotes
These are places where Arabs and Jews would not normally travel and people they would not normally meet. The journalists write about what they find, how they feel and what they experience on these visits. Often their reactions are not necessarily what you would expect. It opens the door to a new type of dialogue between very different sectors of Israeli society.
-
Architecture Quotes
The history of the Jews has been written overwhelmingly by scholars of texts - understandably given the formative nature of the Bible and the Talmud. Seeing Jewish history through artifacts, architecture and images is still a young but spectacularly flourishing discipline that's changing the whole story.
-
Achieve Quotes
The establishment, in the person of Baird, resents Simon's success. He's been able to crash the gate, as it were. Jews were finally starting to achieve some degree of success and were breaking through the institutions with great resistance. That's why you couldn't and shouldn't update this play. It's very particular.
