Co nieco o antysemityzmie od Alberta Einsteina i żydach jako grupie etnicznej/oddzielnej rasie.

The formation of groups has an invigorating effect in all spheres of human striving, perhaps mostly due to the struggle between the convictions and aims represented bythe different groups. The Jews too form such a group with a definite character of its own, and anti-Semitism is nothing but the antagonistic attitude produced in the non-Jews by


the Jewish group. This is a normal social reaction. But for the political abuse resulting from it, it might never have


been designated by a special name.What are the characteristics of the Jewish group? What,in the first place, is a Jew? >There are no quick answers to this question. The most obvious answer would be the


following: A Jew is a person professing the Jewish faith.The superficial character of this answer is easily


recognized by means of a simple parallel. Let us ask the question: What is a snail? An answer similar in kind to the


one given above might be: A snail is an animal inhabiting a snail shell This answer is not altogether incorrect; nor, to be


sure, is it exhaustive; for the snail shell happens to be but one of the material products of the snail. Similarly, the


Jewish faith is but one of the characteristic products of the Jewish community. It is, furthermore, known that a snail can


shed its shell without thereby ceasing to be a snail. The Jew who abandons his faith (in the formal sense of the


word) is in a similar position. He remains a Jew.
