Excerpt from Discourses
The Jews had no reason to love or to hate the founder of Christianity. They might have had provocation to hate those who pretended to be his followers; for the history of the Jews beginning with the Christian era clear down to this latest day, is but a succession of per secutions, such as no other set of human beings has been called upon to endure. No other religion was tried so sorely by another faith, her own daughter, officially at least professed by men in power. Talk of Asiatic bru tality; of African barbarism! Why what the savage tribes commit in their rude ignorance is kindness com pared to what was practiced upon the Jews! Need I go into details? Scarce a year passed from the third Christian century to the French Revolution, but some where in Europe, in the very name of Christianity, Jews were slaughtered by the thousands. Innocence is no protection; weakness is no armor; wisdom affords no escape; old age does not stay the hand that would strike! With fire and dungeon; with rack and torture. They comc, - the pretended apostles of a religion of love! Alas, the provocation to hate was ample; but nevertheless Christianity was not hated! Hatred must be made of sterner stuff than the estimate of Christian ity's providential mission which again and again finds place in the books of rabbinical writers! Is it hatred that prompted one, i., to say: The founder of Chris.
