delinquencies have become the exception in Jewish
colonization of Palestine, but they are symptomatic of dangers
which will have to be guarded against.[811]

The fellahin may, however, consider themselves lucky to be allowed to
live at all, for, according to several passages in the Cabala, all the
_goyim_ are to be swept off the face of the earth when Israel comes into
its own. Thus the Zohar relates that the Messiah will declare war on the
whole world and all the kings of the world will end by declaring war on
the Messiah. But "the Holy One, blessed be He, will display His force
and exterminate them from the world."[812] Then:

Happy will be the lot of Israel, whom the Holy One, blessed be He,
has chosen from amongst the _goyim_ of whom the Scriptures say:
"Their work is but vanity, it is an illusion at which we must
laugh; they will all perish when God visits them in His wrath." At
the moment when the Holy One, blessed be He, will exterminate all
the _goyim_ of the world, Israel alone will subsist, even as it is
written: "The Lord alone will appear great on that day."[813]

The hope of world-domination is therefore not an idea attributed to the
Jews by "anti-Semites," but a very real and essential part of their
traditions. What then of their attitude to Christianity in the past? We
have already seen that hatred of the person and teaching of Christ did
not end at Golgotha, but was kept alive by the Rabbis and perpetuated in
the Talmud and the Toledot Yeshu. The Cabala also contains passages
referring both to Christ and to Mohammed so unspeakably foul that it
would be impossible to quote them here.

But it will be urged: the Jews of Western Europe to-day know nothing of
the Cabala. This may be so, yet imperceptibly the Cabala has moulded the
mind of the Jew. As a modern Jewish writer has declared:

[Kabbalism] has contributed to the formation of modern Judaism,
for, without the influence of the Kabbala, Judaism to-day might
have been one-sided, lacking in warmth and imagination. Indeed, so
deeply has it penetrated into the body of the faith that many ideas
and prayers are now immovably rooted in the general body of
orthodox doctrine and practice. This element has not only become
incorporated, but it has fixed its hold on the affections of the
Jews and cannot be eradicated.[814]

It is thus not in the law of Moses thundered from Sin
