| Adams, Hannah. The History of the Jews. 1812. | “The resistance of the Jews in their last war against the Romans greatly incensed the latter, who took every opportunity of inspiring all the people of the empire with their prejudices. The Jews, driven from their country, but continually elevated by the imposture of false Messiahs, who added fuel to their fanaticism, could not tamely submit to a foreign yoke; and they preserved, even to the seventh century, a spirit of sedition, which excited hatred against them. Besides, people pardon each other least for thinking differently in respect to religion; and if there be any religion capable of offending the vanity of those, who are not followers of it, without doubt it is that of the Jews. Its divine author gave it this spirit with a view to raise a barrier between his people and the corruption of those idolatrous nations, by whom they were surrounded. Judaism is an exclusive worship; and though it imposes the obligation of universal philanthropy, its singularity tends to make other men be considered as odious and profane. As it professes that there is only one God, the Gentiles revolted against a dogma which sapped the very foundation of Paganism; besides, they never spoke of circumcision, the most ancient of all rites, but with a smile of derision; and the passage from ridicule to contempt is immediate. It is a principle in morals, that people do not hate what they despise; but the misfortunes of the Jews have rendered them an exception. Contempt consigned them to disgrace, and fury to torture. The Christians, beholding in them the authors of a Deicide, sometimes forgot the example of their Founder, who, when upon the cross, implored forgiveness for his executioners. Mahomet at first shewed a great respect for the Jews; but this sentiment soon gave place to fury. His Koran was filled with violent declamation against men, enemies to his doctrine; and the Mussulmans, who argued with the sabre, included the Jews in the proscription of all religions different from Islamism. Length of time gave strength to this animosity, which became hereditary, because fathers took care to inspire it into their children. Soon after, it was supposed that the Jews, irritated, but too weak to oppose striking vengeance to barbarous oppression, privately occasioned publick misfortunes; and the vulgar, adopting this idea without examination, massacred them in the most brutal manner. The Jews, forced to follow usurious practices, when they became rich excited envy by their opulence, which rendered them still more odious. Such are the sources of the hatred which the whole world have sworn against the Jewish people, and of the persecution that has every where followed them. The result of these events exhibits action and re-action. The Jews of the same sect have always been united together, because there was little disproportion among them of rank and fortune, and very little luxury. Their years of Jubilee brought them very near to the primitive equality, which civil institutions continually destroy; and their misfortunes have made this union closer, and strengthened its ties. But, being banished, proscribed, and every where abused, can they entertain any affection for their tyrants? They must indeed conceive an aversion to all those who are leagued against them; and particularly to the Christians, whom they consider as guilty intruders, for having eclipsed their religious splendour.” | quote | Grégoire, Henri Jean-Baptiste.

| Adams, Hannah. The History of the Jews. 1812. | “in the dark periods of the middle ages the Jews, punished but in the most dreadful manner for real crimes, suffered oftener for crimes merely chimerical. The relations of their sacrificing christian children are given by christian historians. But even granting, that rage, madness, or a desire of revenge may have induced some fanaticks to commit these excesses, are we to consider the whole nation as culpable?” | quote | Grégoire, Henri Jean-Baptiste. An Essay on the Physical, Moral, and Political Reformation of the Jews. 1789. | ||
| Adams, Hannah. The History of the Jews. 1812. | “The poisoning of fountains by bundles of herbs, or noxious mixtures, forms an accusation much more absurd, for in order to commit crimes, people must be actuated by some motives, and the hopes of success. But what success could the Jews expect in poisoning the springs, which were constantly renewed, and from which they themselves daily drew water. Ask the physicians, if, at a time when chemistry was only in its infancy, a poison was known sufficiently active to produce that effect. Can we allow ourselves to be persuaded, that the Jews, who were so much interested in living upon good terms with other nations, should attempt crimes, the execution of which was evidently impossible; and which they must naturally expect would provoke new persecutions? But though all the crimes imputed to the Jews should be true, when we examine them thoroughly, they will appear less culpable than the nations by whom they have been compelled to commit them.” | quote | Grégoire, Henri Jean-Baptiste.
