THE S.A. JEWISH CHRONICLE.
T ' he Revisionist Canard.
~J1he Editor,
8.A. Jewish Chronicle.
t;ir,-1->ermit me through the eolumns ol your valuable journal to endorse the views expressed by Dr. l. l\1. Hurwitz in a letter under the heudiug "H.evisionist Uanurd" i11 last week's issue. At J::u;t he sees a <lunge:-
<t11<l threat of irrepar<.tble damage by fab- 1-it-atecl liet:; of thi~ irr 'S})Onsible baud of young ·ters \Vho st)Je themselve8 "New Zionists" but who are in reality the ol<l Hevisionists, ideologically bankrupt, and us 'umiug a new name so as to be able to obtai11 new ere<lits on the poliLical market.
While agreeing with practically all th8 argumentc of Dr. Hunvitz in his lett r, it puzzles me Yer) mueh that your eorre:- pondent, and people \Vho bold tbe same political views, have suddenly discovereJ u.
danger. Surely Dr. Hunvitz ·will remem- ber that for year, mnny people with a somewhat differeut political outlook have pleaded with him and his friends ihat the Hevisionists were a group who constituted a eoll ctivist mania, a man]a for power, who try to make our unhappy people forge:
their sufferings by using grandi1oqu nt phrases? They have succer<led in h_pno- ti ·ing and charming a i..,w of our youti1c:;
with empty phrases of mouth-hc,1·oi m;
they have train d them to pelie\'e iu armies und navies that tlo not exist and in 11
"fuhrer'' who is wearing n paper c:rown of n "purim king"; their Zionist education eonsists of posing i11 a sp ctacuL. r manner, , nd their heroism means thP d irudion nrnl extermination of everything that ;s goo<l, moral and holy in the J ' ish runks.
Yet Dr. Hurwiti will r •memlJer that many of om leadi11cr Zionist.· in C:ip0 Towll w 'l'e of opi11ion Urnt thci:; ~ d 'Vil-darinu l 011 QuixotL'S of " 0 n •1"1 l " .J nbotirn;l·y 'H
" 'l1ei<ler" eon 'titute only of a group of spoilt "Bnei Yn ·hidi , " \ ho ' ill n time goeH on seitl penc •fully nnd come back i.o t Ii fold. Those nmongl:'l us who do r acl the overseas "Nazo'' Press, and pointed out t,he dangers, were laughed nt, .and called pnrlisa11s and extremists.
I am plea ed thnt Dr. Hurwitz bas at las come to the conclusion that these par- tii->tms were right in t.h ir warnil'gs nnrl reali e, no\V that the Hevisioni t "growth"
in the J wish body is not manife tecl only by a "canard" but is a "cancer" which spreads and poisons part of our J ewi h youth.
But why all this fuss about mis-state- ment. and canards in the Pres , a thinJ which is quite usual with th Fascist I)r s? Why did no letters of protest appear in the pre ·s when the .Jewish
"Brown Shirts " robbed Je, ish National Fund boxes? \Yhy wn. there no suc.:h ''tar- re-rnm" when the h ad offices of the Jew- iHh Agency were broken into, th rnrniture demolished, and doc um uts i orn lo pieces, a thing unheard of in Jewish hi. tory ~· Why was there not ueh an outcry when th offices of the "Kafer Hnyishuv'' were Lroken into, ngnin with th same "noble"
aim of destroying ev r,Y Rig1 of solidarity in .Jewry?
'ir, there Hhouhl have been nn outc1·y whl'll Jnbotinsky predicted in \Vursaw dur- ing Angust of Jn .. t )-ear :in open <'ivil wnr in retaliation 11ol ag<ti11st Arabs Lut ngaiusl the l aclers of the Zioni t Organisation and the J wish Communily in Pale tine? Only
February 24th, 1039.
when nonentitie in journalism and " Zei-
! u11g shmirer " have been caught napping- 11ot for the first time, and not for 1h last i ime-there i a t rrible hullabuloo that
"Americ<t bas been di.' covered all oi n . ud- den. ''
I think that once and for all your reader should know what Revisionism stands for, and wha Jewish Fascism \Vith its bom- bastic.: and dramatic gestic1Jbtions mean, that it is out t.o break the Zionist move- rnenL, nnd tbab their tactics resembJe sh ckingl.v tl1 se oE Nazi Germany and Fa ·i. t Italy. Your readers hnve to be kept infol'rnecl constantly of the j ungk methods that the Revisionists are practis- ing in their fight against democracy.
The Revisionist cancer should be exposed by the united efforts of tru~ Zionisbs, the veil should be torn off th ir demagogic face from every platform and in oll press columns.
Dr. Hunritz know that the Board of Jewish Deputies is helple. s in such a mat- ter, so j ' the "Beth Din"; ns there is no force in t.he \\ orld thnt will eompel the sun to rise in the west instead of the uast, so is there no foree that will compel t.he Re.
visionists to submit to nathnal discipline, or parliamentary government, or law and order. Only by a combined strengthening of the Zionist ranks will you ucceed in pushing these ·'super patriots" to moral i. olation. They must be made to feel that they are alone in Jewish life, and that their met hods and their heroi m are a menaee to th J ewi ·h masses.
That i. why, Sir, I feel that v ry J wish man and woman ·will congratulut Dr.
Hurwitz on his renlisation of the kue facts.
I hope that ihis will lend io immcc1inte aetion.-1 nm, etc.,
Z. KAGAN.
