“We Jews, we the destroyers, will remain the destroyers forever. Nothing that you do will meet our needs and demands. We will forever destroy, because we want a world of our own, a God-world, which it is not in your nature to build. For that reason you hate us; but when you say that we destroy the world, you speak the truth. We destroy your world because it is not ours; we destroy it because it is false and rotten; we destroy it because it is hostile to God and to life.”
— Maurice Samuel, You Gentiles (1924)

In You Gentiles, Maurice Samuel argues that the Western world is divided primarily into “you gentiles” and “we Jews,” and that this is a deeper cleavage than nationality. He claims gentile life is organized around “the Game,” meaning play, team loyalty, and disciplined group behavior, while #Jews “cannot play the game,” reject or fail to share gentile forms of loyalty, and are marked by disorder, undisciplined conduct, and chronic dissension and disunity in communal life. He further argues that the modern assimilated #Jew becomes an active “destroyer” of gentile society by pushing “absolute righteousness” and social justice through gentile institutions, which he presents as inherently at odds with gentile needs and temperament. 🤔
