The Jew Accused: Three Anti-Semitic Affairs (Dreyfus, Beilis, Frank) 1894-1915

* “Jewish employers at times used the more pliant and less class-conscious Christian workers as strikebreakers against their Jewish employees, even filling the Christian workers’ heads with stories of how Jewish workers hated them.”

* “In Warsaw…followers of the Bund rioted for three days in 1905, in what was called a “pimp pogrom”. Jewish pimps and the Jewish underworld in Warsaw had also engaged in strikebreaking and other anti-worker activity; Jewish workers in retaliation, broke into houses of prostitution, smashing windows and furniture, knifing both pimps and prostitutes, and throwing them out of the windows.” (Pg. 143-144)

* “Tsarist ministers repeatedly complained that the Jews were particularly prone to joining revolutionary socialist movements, a complaint made as well by Jewish employers.” (Pg. 144)

* “Traditional Jews, respectful of established authorities, Jewish and non-Jewish, resisted change… They viewed their miseries…as God-given, certainly not to be changed by political activity… Such Jews were as hostile to socialist and liberal activism as were the ministers of the tsar. Orthodox rabbis were notorious for cooperating with the police in ferreting out Jewish socialist and union activists…” (Pg. 146)

* “It is hard to imagine any Russian tsar… expressing the kind of gratitude that the Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary did for ‘his’ Jews.” (Pg. 147) Source: The Jew Accused: Three Anti-Semitic Affairs (Dreyfus, Beilis, Frank) 1894-1915
