I have deleted the revision from 19:59, 20 May 2013 from IP address 74.69.178.28 He changed the original text "We Jews, are accused of being destroyers" to the quote which is common in Anti-Semitic websites: "We Jews,we the destroyers". I verified with the original book available online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.228.176.84 (talk) 19:15, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, you did not verify anything. You just changed the quote from that on page 155 to the one on page 146. The "anti-semitic" quote is authentic. https://ia800205.us.archive.org/11/items/YouGentiles_414/YouGentiles.pdf
Replying to the previous comment talking about the quote "We Jews,we the destroyers" from page 155 - the comment is being taken out of context, it refers to how the writer sees Gentiles talking about Jews - as "destroyers", therefore the previous quote from page 146 is far more representative - "We Jews are accused of being destroyers".

weak article[edit]

Extremely weak article about a jew who hated christians and had so much influence on the jewish consciousness.SamLowenstein (talk) 12:49, 13 October 2013 (UTC) the Quotation section is lacking, here is a Quote from his book: We, Jews, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers forever. Nothing that you do will meet our needs and demands. We will forever destroy because we need a world of our own, a God-world, which is not in your nature to build. page 221SamLowenstein (talk) 12:55, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking the same thing. But, guess who runs Wiki.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.198.183 (talk) 01:48, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned above ^ this quote has been taken out of context, and needs to be read in the context of the whole chaptedJacker1968 (talk) 11:22, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maurice Samuel (1895 – 1972) was a Romanian-born Zionist Jew whose most influential book, You Gentiles, was published in 1924. This offered a penetrating analysis of the Jewish psyche and made the important point that Jews were altogether so superior and spiritually advanced compared to gentiles that there was no possibility of the two groups getting on together. Owing to the baser nature of the gentiles, and the fact that they did not take God seriously like the Jews, it was inevitable that Jews and gentiles should be at loggerheads for ever. (LD)

I have deleted this long comment along with prolific quotes from the book since it functions as a dog-whistle for antisemites and has no place on Wikipedia Jacker1968 (talk) 13:18, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
