Quote:
The reasons that serious minded rational European leaders (like several Czars) wanted Jews out of their countries is an entirely different matter. Hitler and several of his cronies were nuts, but most top Nazis were pragmatic technocrats. It's too simplistic to say they were all just "hypnotized by hate".
A Jewish minority has always been a corrosive force in countries that sought strength and unity based on nationalism. Jewish scholars themselves understand and agree with this. Lets use France as an example (it was long considered more anti-semetic than Germany). In past centuries Jews had a difficult time there. To improve their condition, they tended to advocate secularism and progressivism at every opportunity (like our ACLU of today). This was most visible in the local newspapers they owned and in their political activities. It's not a coincidence that Marx and many early Bolsheviks were Jewish. It's no accident that the ranks of early socialists and union agitators were disproportionally packed with Jews.
Moreover, their push to improve their own condition through secularism and progressivism was logical and completely understandable. But at the same time it was destabilizing for their host countries. To research political protest movements in 1800s Europe is to research Jewish history in 1800s Europe. They are one in the same.
