"The pub bookshelf in #Painswick, #England, was stocked with #books bound in handsome jewel tones. It seemed charming and innocuous, until I spotted a 1934 hardback with the alarmingly simple title of #TwelveJews.

Curious, I opened it.

“The quarrel between the #Jews and the rest of civilisation has been kept alive by two forces: one, the peculiar character of the Jews, and the other, the antipathy of #Christian or non-#Jewish society,” the introduction read. “The one has induced the other.”

Um, what?

As disturbing as that claim was — it’s such a pity that Jews are too weird for Christian society to tolerate! — I found it even more troubling that the #author, #HectorBolitho, who conceived of and edited the #essay collection, had obviously written with a profound wish to defend Jews against prejudice. He hoped the #book would help ameliorate the long quarrel he identified, especially in light of the already unfolding “enforced exodus of the Jews from #Germany.”

The bizarre antisemitic book that taught me to better understand Judaism

Hector Bolitho's 'Twelve Jews,' published in 1934, tried to defend Jews — in one of the strangest ways possible

Were there not twelve Jews that followed the King of the Jews? That makes the book title resonate with the truth.

Yes, God sent his Son to the Jews. His 12 disciples were also Jews. After Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, his followers began to be known as Christians, because Jesus is the Christ, the Anointed, the Messiah that the scriptures speak of. Jews should search their scriptures and see that it is so. Pray also, for discernment.

Two thousand years is as a drop of water in the ocean, compared to eternity. And this truth will remain the Truth forever. This is good news for all, because we forever have a Savior.

I cannot tell who here is a Jew, but for the true Jews that desire to know the truth, they shall recognize truth from falsehood when they scrutinize everything they have been told by men.

True Jews pray. That is our weapon against lies. Pray. Ask and you shall receive.
