Thoughts on Mark Twain Concerning JEWS?

"If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people... His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him.





The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished..."





What do you think about this?

Thoughts on Mark Twain Concerning JEWS?
I think that Mark Twain was completely right.


Israel is one of the most fought over lands and the Jews are the most persecuted religion, yet they're still here.


it's pretty amazing.
Reply:God's chosen people.





So many have fallen away and resorted to idol worship and the worship of men.
Reply:Never read Mark Twain, but why is it OK say the Jews are great, but if somebody said that Anglo-Saxons are great it would be racist?
