Voltaire on the Jews
All of the other people have committed crimes, the Jews are the only ones who have boasted about committing them. They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.
Tous les autres peuples ont commis des crimes, les Juifs sont les seuls qui s’en soient vantés. Ils sont tous nés avec la rage du fanatisme dans le cœur, comme les Bretons et les Germains naissent avec des cheveux blonds. Je ne serais point étonné que cette nation ne fût un jour funeste au genre humain.
Lettres de Memmius a Cicéron (1771)
The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters; always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous — cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity.
Elle [la nation juive] ose étaler une haine irréconciliable contre toutes les nations; elle se révolte contre tous ses maîtres. Toujours superstitieuse, toujours avide du bien d’autrui, toujours barbare, rampante dans le malheur, et insolente dans la prospérité.
Essai sur les Moeurs et l’Esprit des Nations (1753), Introduction, XLII: Des Juifs depuis Saül
Even back then (as in millions of other
cases over the course of millennia), this
was, of course, just a complete misunder-
standing of the situation, a total misjudg-
ment of Jewish nobility, born of envy and
a deep, ineradicable anti-Semitic hatred!

did Voltaire say, The jews will be the death of mankind?
Meanwhile the stock market is shaking out and the bond market just got up to 4.71% for the 10 year, on the way to 5 % which means hell to pay for finance in general. Home Mortgages are based on the 10 year bond yield. Wall St. starting to freak out , yes a child of the 60s here.
Voltaire did use the expression that the best was the enemy of the good. A sentiment TOO heresy hunters might bear in mind when putting their energy into attacking the likes of Coulter or Martinez, jewred Taylor or Robert jewrick.

Voltarian quotes about the Jews, my bestof :

As for Jewish women sleeping with he-goats:
You claim that your mothers did not sleep with he-goats, nor your fathers with she-goats. But tell me, gentlemen, why are you the only people on earth against whom laws ever enacted such a prohibition? Would any legislator have thought to promulgate this bizarre law if the offense had not been commonplace?
–> Just to make sure: “coucher avec quelqu’un” / “To sleep with someone” does not necessarily mean that you are going to sleep, and in this Voltairian context, it means, on the contrary, that you were definitely not going to sleep …
UK Sexual Offences Act (2003) s.69 outlaws sex with animals.
NS Animal Protection Act (1935) para.175 ditto.
Hebrews had a stronger penalty.
Soldiers stationed too long in an Arab country asked their hosts what they did for female companionship as no women were available. “We have sex with the camels.” The following day an Arab arrived in camp: “All ready. I’ve had my turn.” “You got there before us?” “Yes, I like to use the prettiest.” There is a variant of this story set in a remote Welsh sheep farm.
