More from Benjamin Disraeli
"Jews show so near an affinity to you... Where is your Christianity if you do not believe in their Judaism?"
"Christianity is completed Judaism, or it is nothing. Christianity is incomprehensible without Judaism, as Judaism is incomplete without Christianity."
"A canter is the cure for all evil."
"half Christendom worships a Jewess, and the other half a Jew…. Which is the superior race, the worshipped or the worshippers?"
"The right to be heard does not include the right to be taken seriously."
About Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
British Prime Minister who built modern Conservative populism; the only PM of Jewish heritage and a celebrated novelist before politics. Closely associated with Lord Salisbury (his Conservative successor as PM). For an intellectual contrast, see William Ewart Gladstone, four-time Liberal Prime Minister — the two alternated as PM four times — Gladstone's free-trade moralism and Disraeli's imperialist pragmatism are the founding poles of British party politics.
