And they claim there were six million in Poland. After the war, there were 200,000, it is said. Therefore, he must have killed six million of them. They simply got up and left. They were all over the Bronx and Brooklyn and Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles. They have to have some place to go where there is money. Hutton Gibson, father of Mel, radio interview
For centuries Jews have lamented the destruction of their home city of Jerusalem ... Exile is not only a religious Jewish belief, for millions of Jews and non-Jews alike it is an historical fact. But what has been considered as fact for centuries is now being challenged by archaeological evidence. Ilan Ziv, Searching for Exile: Truth or Myth? BBC 2013
Nowhere in his writings does Josephus mention the forced expulsion of the Jews from Jerusalem or the rest of the Roman province. ibid.
This was a huge rebellion I think was overstated. Francesca Stavrakopoulou, Searching for Exile: The Debate, BBC 2013
In fact, I’m not really a Jew. Just Jew-ish. Not the whole hog, you know. Jonathan Miller, Beyond the Fringe: ‘Real Class’
I successfully don’t think about it for most of my life because I’m in that sunlit part of the landscape where I don’t hear the cries of the tormented. It’s the way things are. Jonathan Miller, cited Observer 10th March 1996

And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. Esher 3:13
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them. Esther 8:17
For behold, it came to pass after my father had made an end of speaking the words of his dream, and also of exhorting them to all diligence, he spake unto them concerning the Jews –
That after they should be destroyed, even that great city Jerusalem, and many be carried away captive into Babylon, according to the own due time of the Lord, they should return again, yea, even be brought back out of captivity; and after they should be brought back out of captivity they should possess again the land of their inheritance.
Yea, even six hundred years from the time that my father left Jerusalem, a prophet would the Lord God raise up among the Jews – even a Messiah, or, in other words, a Savior of the world. Book of Mormon I Nephi 10:2-4
We are witnessing an alarming resurgence of this phenomena in news forms and manifestations. Anti-Semitism has flourished even in communities where Jews have never lived. And it has been a harbinger of discrimination against others. Kofi Annan, address United Nations anti-Semitism conference
Jerusalem was stormed in 1099. The entire population of the holy city was put to the sword. Jews and well as Muslims. 70,000 men, women and children perished in a holocaust, which raged for three days. In places men waded in blood up to their ankles and horsemen were splashed by it as they rode through the streets. Desmond Seward, The Monks of War
But Dickens didn’t only make Fagin a nasty piece of work. He also made him a Jew. And that was a decision that would trouble him for the rest of his life. Faulks on Fiction 4/4: The Villains, BBC 2011
There are a lot of Jews in your business, right? The Sopranos s6e16: Chasing It, Tony to Shrink, HBO 2006
Jerusalem 1963: Tudor Parfitt is just a 19-year-old student ... What hooked Parfitt was an extraordinary idea – after thousands of years in exile, wave after wave of Jews were returning to the Holy Land ... ‘I was imbued with ideas of the lost tribes’. Secrets of the Bible s1e5: Tudor Parfitt and the Lost Tribes of Israel ***** Yesterday 2015
Parfitt is invited to Johannesburg ... The Lemba: the claim to be a lost tribe of Israel. ibid.
DNA tests are done on the Lemba ... ‘Much more like those found in Semitic populations ... from the Middle East.’ ibid. Dr Karl Skorecki
Can he trace their DNA? ... Are the Lemba actually Jewish? ... More than half of Lemba men share the exact same Cohen DNA markers – there can be no doubt ... The Lemba are from a long lost time of priestly Jews. ibid.
Ark of the Covenant ... ‘They had brought an object from the Middle East which did all of the things that the Ark of the Covenant did, that was carried on poles ... which had sacred things inside it.’ ibid.
A drum ... Many scholars now believe that there was more than one Ark ... More portable, replaceable Arks that were taken on journeys or into battle. ibid.

We’d all be Jewish. Benny Hill
People who criticize power in the Jewish community are regarded the way Ahab treated Elijah: You’re a traitor. Noam Chomsky
From 1989 onwards, the Jews of the former Soviet Union enjoyed one valuable and exclusive privilege - they were eligible for Israeli citizenship ... and within a decade one million Russian Jews had pitched up in Israel, amounting to more than 15 per cent of the population. Misha Glenny, McMafia
Russian immigrants very quickly established a complex society in Israel, which developed in parallel to the existing community. ibid.
It was the police who first noticed something odd happening ... the phenomenon of the youth gangs ... the crime wave centred on Tel Aviv. ibid.
A network of pimps, brothels, protection rackets, counterfeit documents and kidnapping. ibid.
The importation of labour into Israel is a corrupt business in which orgnised crime also engages ... the trafficking of indentured or slave labour is the fastest growing sector ... The brothels themselves are the bottom of this murky heap. I can barely describe the pathetic ageing women, listlessly chainsmoking in rooms seven feet by three, ready to service any passer-by for ten bucks (yes, ten bucks). ibid.
The oligarchs and organised-crime bosses started colonising Israel for a number of reasons. It was the ideal place to invest or launder money. Israel’s banking system was designed to encourage atiyah ... Israel had embraced the zeitgeist of international financial deregulation and considerably eased controls on the import and export of capital ... It had no money-laundering legislation. ibid.
Israeli police estimated that these Russians laundered between $5 and $10 billion through Israeli banks in the fifteen years following the collapse of communism. ibid.
For the Jewish oligarchs and gang bosses, Israel was both a retreat and, by dint of its passport, a door to the outside world. ibid.
Now Israelis were about to discover that the years of champagne and excess in the 1990s had spawned a new phenomenon – indigenous Israeli organised crime. And, unlike the Russians, these people cared little about their public image. ibid.
Gambling had been the traditional industry around which the Israeli crime syndicates gathered and thrived. ibid.
Ecstasy was one of the few drugs where the American market was not yet supersaturated. Europe is the top manufacturing base ... The main Western European centre is Amsterdam, although the industrial-scale busts have been made since the turn of the millennium in Serbia and Bulgaria as well. ibid.
In 2003 the US State Department issued a report which claimed that Israel is the hub of global Ecstasy trafficking, having branched out from Europe to the US. ibid.
The DEA implied in one report that the turf was in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles over the Ecstasy trade may be directly linked to the open warfare between families in Israel. ibid.
But the extent of the internationalisation of organised crime and the role that Israelis played in it would not have been possible without globalisation – and one aspect in particular, the deregulation of international financial markets. ibid.
The oldest of the three Abrahamic religions, and the clear ancestor of the other two, is Judaism: originally a tribal cult of a single fiercely unpleasant God, morbidly obsessed with his own superiority over rival gods and the exclusiveness of his chosen desert tribe. Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion p37
Being a Jew, one learns to believe in the reality of cruelty and one learns to recognise indifference to human suffering as a fact. Andrea Dworkin
Hasidim are a highly insular group of ultra-orthodox Jews. Originating in eastern Europe in the 18th century, Hasidic Jews suffered massive losses during the Holocaust. Many fled to Brooklyn, New York. To separate themselves from outsiders, they dress like their ancestors and speak mostly Yiddish. One of Us, captions, 2007
Police have removed Etty’s husband from their home for alleged abuse. ibid.
‘I’m invisible … his abuse became insane.’ ibid. Etty
‘The price for freedom is really high.’ ibid.
