The Jews had, as a matter of fact, long been all along the most ingenious entrepreneurs. It was only our own future that we had never built upon a business basis.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.
I read a lot of history. The passive Jews in Germany didn't survive. The smart ones got out.
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.
We use American influence with Israel not to promote economic growth in the West Bank, but to try and impede Jewish - never Arab - construction in the capital city.
One of the keys to Jewish culinary history is that the Jewish role was not so much innovation but transition and transformation.
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.
I was not raised a Zionist, but a socialist, as were most Jews before the Holocaust.
The great question of our day is whether we, the Jewish people of Israel, can find within us the will to survive as a nation.
The Jews' greatest contribution to history is dissatisfaction! We're a nation born to be discontented. Whatever exists we believe can be changed for the better.
The Jews must realize that their influence in Germany has disappeared for all time.
