Roger and All Humanitarians,
I was about to protest the article by Norton Sadler, when I read his
last line:
"I underlined the deadly threat to the workers
movement of refusing to intransigently combat any and all targeting of
Jews, Latinos, Blacks, gypsies, whites, or any other national,
religious or ethnic
grouping."
In fact, *ALL hatred and contempt toward anyone is counterproductive.
Just begin by listening to Donald Trump's state of his union speech
and then travel back through the piles of material published and
spread by hate mongers. It is all aimed at dividing the American
Working Class and keeping the divisions fighting among themselves.
Yes, it's true that hatred is our enemy, but just what is hatred built
on? Hatred is the result of Greed...lust, envy, coveting the
belongings of others.
Properly handled, Hatred is used by the Ruling Classes to maintain
their control over the masses. But when the Ruling Class loses that
control, then Hatred becomes their downfall...the rise of the People.
And as the People rid themselves of their contemptuous Masters, the
Hatred generated in the ensuing struggle will ensure that Hatred will
be woven into the new fabric. Unless we are very careful, and plan
our future, we will simply be passing Hatred along to the next
generations.

SWP: Jew-hatred is poison to working class
Below is an excerpt on the poison of Jew-hatred in the working class and
fights for national liberation from the introduction by Socialist
Workers Party leader Norton Sandler to Is Socialist Revolution in the US
Possible? Copyright © 2016 by Pathfinder Press. Reprinted by permission.
Early in the forum, a speaker who said he was visiting from Panama
declared from the floor that Jews “have all the money” and control
everything from the international banking system to powerful imperialist
media conglomerates. In addition, “Jews” control and direct US foreign
policy, especially policy toward the Middle East. This myth, infecting
growing layers of middle-class liberals and radicals in the United
States and other imperialist countries today, is also widely advanced
throughout Latin America, including among those who identify themselves
as anti-imperialists.
These bigoted, conspiracy-spinning allegations … conceal the plain truth
of how capitalism works. Above all, they deprive working people of the
knowledge and confidence that we can be the makers of history — that our
own conscious, revolutionary action, and only that, can remove the
capitalist ruling families from power and prevent them from blowing up
the world.
Following the initial remarks in the discussion period about the rich
and all-powerful Jews, I took the floor to point out that Jew-hatred
remains one of the most virulent anti-working-class weapons of the
ruling classes, as it has been since the birth of the modern workers
movement a century and a half ago. Recalling its ghastly consequences in
the hands of Germany’s imperialist rulers in the 1930s and ’40s, I
underlined the deadly threat to the workers movement of refusing to
intransigently combat any and all targeting of Jews, Latinos, Blacks,
gypsies, whites, or any other national, religious or ethnic grouping.
