More From Tony Judt

If only one country, for whatever reason, tolerates a jewish family in it, that family will become the germ center for fresh sedition. if one little jewish boy survives without any jewish education, with no synagogue and no hebrew school, it [judaism] is in his soul. even if there had never been a synagogue or a jewish school or an old testament, the jewish spirit would still exist and exert its influence. it has been there from the beginning and there is no jew, not a single one, who does not personify it.

I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a jewish state. my awareness of the essential nature of judaism resists the idea of a jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. i am afraid of the inner damage judaism will sustain—especially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a jewish state.

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

I strongly believe that a small jewish clique which has contempt for the mass of jewish people worked with non-jews to create the first world war, the russian revolution, and the second world war. this jewish/non-jewish elite used the first world war to secure the balfour declaration and the principle of the jewish state of israel.

In all church discussions we are apt to forget the second testament is avowedly only a supplement. jesus came to complete the law and the prophets. christianity is completed judaism, or it is nothing. christianity is incomprehensible without judaism, as judaism is incomplete without christianity.

When jews left judaism, they didn't stop being religious. they simply swapped god-based judaism for godless secular humanism and leftism. for left-wing jews, judaism is their ethnicity; leftism is their religion.

This story is true. of course, there are many lies therein and most of it did not happen, but it's all true. in that sense it is deeply religious, perhaps even biblical.

No american president can support an egypt that calls into question the historic treaty between israel and egypt. and no american president can support an egypt that doesn't fully recognize women's rights or the rights of religious minorities.

Between the combination of judeo-christian religious 'be good be good be good' and capitalist 'something's wrong with you, buy this' and the parental upbringing, which is 'you're wrong, you're not thin enough, you're not smart enough' i mean, hello! we don't have a shot.

The salafists are trying to abort the revolution and make it religious, though the revolution started secular. there was not a single islamic slogan. it was secular men and women, and in fact, they were unified. now they want to divide the revolution, and religion is a very strong weapon.
