Jews Quotes

I understood when I was quite small that there were two special things about the Jews. That we’d endured for over 3,000 years despite everything that had been thrown at us, and that we had an extraordinarily dramatic story to tell Picture Quote #1

Jewish comedy doesn’t come out of nothing. Jewish music doesn’t come out of nothing... I don’t want to be part of a story where Jews are just victims or bullies - and I’m not saying that’s what the Israelis are Picture Quote #1

It was the Sephardi Jews who brought fish and chips to Britain, actually, believe it or not, from the Mediterranean world. Apart from actually eating and selling fish and chips, they were kind of debt enforcers Picture Quote #1

My parents emigrated from Poland in 1924 with my brother, who was a few months old. They were from a simple family of Polish Jews. They were looking, I suppose, for a better economic life and were escaping from an anti-Semitic environment Picture Quote #1

Israel is a very young country, a cultural melting pot, and unlike the structured life of the Orthodox Jews, I grew up in a non-religious part of society where people were totally open to new experiences on many levels. I learned that when things are missing, you invent them Picture Quote #1

The covenant between Jews and God was conditional on their respect for human rights. The reason they were expelled from the land was that they were more interested in money and power and treated the poor and aliens with contempt Picture Quote #1

I’m sure that a previous generation of Jews who published radical newspapers and journals would be critical of [David] Simon’s projects. These were left wingers who suffered casualties in some of bloodiest strikes in American history Picture Quote #1

Because Jews were kicked out of every country in Europe at one time or another, and plenty of other places as well, there isn’t an ability to identify with a national heritage - you’ll never hear a Jew say ‘I’m German’ or ‘I’m Polish,’ without saying something about being Jewish as well, and for good reason Picture Quote #1

The American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid by them Picture Quote #1

In both Israel and America, Jews have experienced unparalleled freedoms, achieved great economic success, and exercised appropriate degrees of political power Picture Quote #1

It’s unfortunate that [Louis] Brandeis was not able to translate or abstract his devotion to cultural pluralism and racial equality as he put it for Jews to enslave people and their descendants and to African Americans Picture Quote #1

In today’s U.S., it’s possible for almost anyone - women, gays, African-Americans, Jews - to run for, and be elected to, high office Picture Quote #1

While Jews and Christians both agree on many religious issues, we disagree, and believe each other profoundly wrong, about others Picture Quote #1

Both peoples, both nations, deserve a nation-state of their own. Palestinians, if they wish so, will go to the Palestinian state; Jews, if they so wish, can go to the Jewish state. And we’ll have to have security and demilitarization agreements between us Picture Quote #1

Al Gore’s not going to be rounding up Jews and exterminating them. It is the same tactic, however Picture Quote #1

There are better mothers than disaster. A native land is the best of all mothers. We American Jews have a native land we love. But it is even better to have a native land who loves us Picture Quote #1

Catholics have guilt and Jews have guilt, fine. But mothers can trump them all Picture Quote #1

Israel’s creation was politically amazing and caused by a number of unusual events. And I understand. For centuries, Jews endured horrible suffering, and like other people, deserve the right to self-determination, but the way Israel is going now frightens me. Jews make awkward colonial overlords Picture Quote #1

I think the Jews are an amazing group of people and their survival is amazing Picture Quote #1

Those who hate Israel hate America. Those who hate Jews hate Christians Picture Quote #1

When are American Jews going to realize that the Republican Party is far better for Israel than the Democrats? Picture Quote #1

Israel has been a stage on which American Jews have played out their fantasies of toughness - often from Martha’s Vineyard Picture Quote #1

The Jews integrated themselves into American life to the point that the argument that the Jews aren’t American sounded so stupid, that people stopped thinking it Picture Quote #1

Just as we send young American Jews to Israel through the Birthright program, we need to also consider a ‘reverse Birthright’ for Israeli kids to come see America Picture Quote #1

Yes, Jews - typically American Jews, typically vote democrat, I get that Picture Quote #1

There are no English, French, German or American Jews, but only Jews > > >living in England, France, Germany or America Picture Quote #1

There is one bit of advice given us by the ancient Greeks, and by the Jews in the Old Testament, and by the great Christian teachers of the Middle Ages, which the modern economic system has completely disobeyed. All these people told us not to lend money at interest; and lending money at interest - what we call investment - is the basis of our whole system Picture Quote #1

We always see the Holocaust in terms of black-and-white images, barking Germans, cowering Jews. We know very well-known fixed places like Auschwitz, Birkenau, Treblinka, and Beltzec. Instead, war can live in a couple having a spat, when we say, That was a real war. We very rarely have the Holocaust live in the terms of today. And I think that’s a problem, because it becomes ancient history Picture Quote #1

My mother’s family is Christian: her father was a Baptist lay preacher, and her brother, in a leap of Anglican upward mobility, became a vicar in the Church of Wales. But my mother converted to Islam on marrying my father. She was not obliged to; Muslim men are free to marry ahl al-kitab, or people of the Book - among them, Jews and Christians Picture Quote #1

As an adult, I’ve always found the stereotype that Jews are liberal a curious one; my parents’ circle was predominantly conservative, not just on Israel but on most political issues. Most of all, they were intensely (and this is a word I remember repeating in my own angry adolescent dialogues with myself) tribal Picture Quote #1
