"The vineyards of Israel have ceased to exist, but the eternal law enjoins the children of Israel still to celebrate the vintage. A race that persist in celebrating their vintage, although they have no fruits to gather, will regain their vineyards. What sublime inexorability in the law! But what indomitable spirit in the people!"
Benjamin Disraeli - Tancred (1847)
"Because of the hatred that surrounds him on all sides, the German Jew is determined to cast off all signs of his Jewishness and to deny his race. No reform of the Jewish religion, however extreme, is radical enough for the educated German Jews...
Reform, conversion, education, and emancipation-none of these e open the gates of society to the German Jew; hence his desire to deny his racial origin.
"
Moses Hess (1862)
"... new arguments which should prove the Jews to be a peculiar people, never amalgamating with their fellow-citizens ; on the other side Science was bringing to light infallible marks by which the physical peculiarity of the Jewish race should be made clearly manifest."
David Kaufmann (1878
"Perhaps we shall have to fight first of all against many an evil-disposed, narrow-hearted, shorted-sighted member of our own race."
Theodor Herzl - (1896)
"It is natural that the whole civilized world such express such a feeling, it should yet be most intense and widespread in the United States; for all of the great powers I think I may say that the United States is that country in which from the beginning of its national career, most has been done in the way of acknowledging the debt due to the Jewish race, and of endeavouring to do justice to those American citizens who are of Jewish ancestry and faith."
US President Theodore Roosevelt (1903)
"I have already shown that the distinctive character of the Jew does not arise soley from his religion. It is true that his race and religion are indissolubly connected...a believer in the Jewish faith does not by reason of that fact become a Jew. On the other hand, however, a Jew by birth remains a Jew, even though he abjures his religion."

"As a matter of fact, the terms "Jewish race" and "Hebrew race" are in common and constant use, even among Hebrews themselves. Many instances of this usage are to be found in the Jewish Encyclopedia, which, in fact, treats of the Jews as a race rather than a religious sect..."
United States Immigration Commission (1907-1910)
"The idea of a Jewish race and nation had never, during eighteen hundred years of the Dispersion, been called into question. It was taken for granted by the Christian and Mohammedan worlds alike, and remained unquestioned by the Jews themselves."
Dr. Max Raisin (1919)
"Jews are persecuted on account of their race."
Winston Churchill (1920)
"We want assimilation to be replaced by the conscious recognition of the Jewish nation and the Jewish race. Only those Jews who recognize their own specificity can respect a state founded on the principle of the purity of nation and race.…"
Rabbi Joachim Prinz (1930s)
"Hitler was right in one thing. He calls the Jewish people a race and we are a race."
Rabbi Stephen Wise (1938)
"There will be anti-Semitism in the sense of a psychological phenomenon as long as Jews come into contact with non-Jews — what does it matter? Perhaps we owe it to anti-Semitism that we can maintain ourselves as a race."
Albert Einstein
"The Jews are divided into two categories, those who admit they belong to a race distinguished by a history thousands of years old, and those who don’t. The latter are open to the charge of dishonesty."
Nahum Goldmann
