"[T]he chauvinism and fanaticism in supporting Israel displayed by organized diaspora Jews is much greater (especially since 1967) than the chauvinism shown by the average Israeli Jew. This fanaticism is especially marked in Canada and the USA. … Why should some American Jews display chauvinism, sometimes extreme, and others not? … ‘[O]rganized Jews,’ … uphold Jewish exclusivism and to preserve the attitudes of the classical Judaism to non-Jews. Under present circumstances they cannot openly express these attitudes toward non-Jews in the USA where non-Jews constitute more than 97 per cent of the population. They compensate for this by expressing their real attitudes in their support of the ‘Jewish state’ and the treatment it metes to the non-Jews of the Middle East."
