Excerpt from Among the Nations: A Study of the Jews and Antisemitism Antisemitism is consistent with neither the principles nor the genius of our nation. It came to us from the outside, from countries which have neither our spirit nor our traditions. It came to us from across the Rhine, from old Germany, always ready for religious quarrels, and always imbued with the spirit of caste from new Germany, all in¿ated with race-pride and scornful of whatever is not Teutonic. Antisemitism may be traced also to Russia, to that huge and shapeless Russia, which, with its steppes and forests, has remained isolated from the great currents of modern life to holy, Orthodox Russia, half Oriental, half Asiatic, which endeavours to find its national unity in its religious unity, and which regards the Catholic and the Lutheran with little more favour than the Israel ite to that autocratic Russia, which difi'ers from us in all its institutions, as well as in all its conditions, be they economic, political, religious, or social. Whatever sympathy we may feel with the Slavonic mind or the Russian spirit, the Russians, who have so often emu lated us, would be greatly astonished to see us copying them as well might one propose to the Czar to modelthe government of his moujiks and cossacks on that of the French Republic.
