“There is a saying in French: the more things change, the more they are the same. The Jew is eternal.” —Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1928 edition

A truism of liberalism is that the truth may be approximated through a comparison of opinion. In the Encyclopedia Britannica, for example, all articles dealing directly with Jewish matters are written today by Jews and Rabbis, dripping with self-pity and self-praise. Articles on peripheral subjects, however, tell a different story.

LD: Here are excerpts from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica which give historical information about Jews which is not to be found in modern encyclopaedias. The bits in bold font have been emphasized because these are the bits, apart from one or two exceptions, which would nowadays be regarded as “anti-Semitic” and hence censored and suppressed by modern encyclopaedias like Wikipedia.

RUSSIA: “The Semitic race is represented by upwards of 5,000,000 Jews… The rapidity with which they peopled certain towns (e.g., Odessa) and whole provinces was really prodigious. The law of Russia prohibits them from entering Great Russia, only the wealthiest and best educated enjoying this privilege; nevertheless they are met with everywhere, even in the Urals. Their chief abodes, however, continue to be Poland… Organized as they are into a kind of community for mutual protection and mutual help, they soon become masters of the trade wherever they penetrate. In the villages, they are mostly innkeepers, intermediaries in trade, and pawnbrokers...” (vol. XXIII, p. 855).

“The numerous outbreaks against the Jews are directed, not against their creed, but against them as keen business men and extortionate money-lenders…” (p. 885).

LD: Such a sentence would be taboo in any modern encyclopaedia. Jewish writers today do their best to present an entirely false picture of the Jewish moneylender of the Middle Ages, striving to give the impression that moneylending, trade and commercial activity formed a very small and insignificant part of Jewish life. The idea of the Jew (in the popular mind) as a “commercial predator” must be presented, in other words, as a vicious anti-Semitic “stereotype”.

Andrew Joyce, in his 3-part book review of the Jewish writer Andrew Julius’ Trials of the Diaspora, has this to say:

“Julius paints a portrait of a community like any other. . . . He urges us to avoid “the misconception that the typical Jewish milieu is a commercial one, and that Judaism itself is especially hospitable to moneymaking”. (See here)

Joyce goes on to show that this is a total lie, and that moneylending at usurious rates of interest was the main occupation of most Jews during the Middle Ages. These exorbitant rates of interest (43 percent was normal) invariably led to the loss of gentile land and property that ended up in Jewish hands, making the Jews obscenely rich at the expense of the gentile poor.

It was precisely for this reason that the Jews were
