Such ?voluntary? suffering, practiced by all the Jews of Germany, would bring them, he promised, immeasurable ?inner strength and joy.?

And the same policy ought to be followed by Jews already in Palestine enduring Arab pogroms launched against them: if only they would ?discard the help of the British bayonet? for their defense, and instead ?offer themselves [to the Arabs] to be shot or thrown into the Dead Sea without raising a little finger,? the Jews would win a favorable ?world opinion? |
