ABSTRACT

Jews are viewed as enemies of the collective. At the same time they are seen as the most solid form of a collective themselves. Numerous state-ments describe different areas of Jewish existence as manifestations of utmost coherence. In their economic activity, in their private life, as a race and as a religion, they comprise many self-sustaining, autarchic, exclusive units that are clannishly self-centered and that do not take any interest in other non-Jewish groups or individuals—and that even resist them.
