ABSTRACT

The campaign to eradicate anti-Semitism must be organized on two levels: a general attack on the socio-economic conditions which breed the disease; and a special campaign to eliminate all forms of discrimination based solely on race, color, or creed. While the discrimination against Jews is neither as visible nor as severe as that against racial minorities, it is quite apparent that their stake in the achievement of a functional equality for all citizens is as great as any other minority. So far as Jews are concerned, no form of discrimination should be opposed more vigorously than the quota system. Not only the welfare of the Jews, but the tranquility of the community and perhaps ultimately the peace of the world may be involved. In federal legislation affirmatively safeguarding civil rights is to be found the best means, not of outlawing anti-Semitic propaganda, but of outlawing organized racism.
