who gives a rats ass about what Mark Twain thought about jews, fact is israel is more hated than loved.

[TheAntiV]

Ah yes, when conspiracy theorists know they've been debunked they resort to calling you a propagandist. You claim that Mark Twain hated Jews yet I have provided quotes expressing his solidarity with Jewish individuals.

[TheAntiV]

And where did Mark Twain write that? I find it hilarious that you've been unable to provide sources to your Mark Twain claims.

Dude!

You'll have to do much, much better with your propaganda - Twain made his views about the evils of Jewry absolutely clear throughout his life!

Anyone here can read any of the quotes; and then verify them on their own

[TheAntiV]

When Twain died in 1910, the American Jewish press mourned. His obituaries in that press often reprinted the words of the president of New Yorks Hebrew Technical School for Girls: "In one of Mr. Clemenss works he expressed his opinion of men, saying he had no choice between Hebrew and Gentile, black men or white; to him, all men were alike."

Twain also wrote:

1). Since Jews provided most of the agitators and orators who pushed forward the Abolition campaign that culminated in the Civil War (which Jewish bankers largely financed, on both sides), it seems a legitimate question whether there was any preplanning for the wholesale -- and retail -- economic looting done by mainly Jewish carpetbaggers after the war.

2). We have cited a host of other writers on the terrible economic depredation that Jewry visited on the people of Russia

Absolutely Lie!

As anyone who read Man that Corrupted Hadleybury, etc.

Twain's opinion on the Jews is probably the best-kept secret in American literary history. Immediately after his death, his eccentric daughter Clara married -- or was married by -- the Jewish piano player, Ossip Galbrilowitsch. Twain's publishers were given speedy instructions to delete "Concerning the Jews" from the collected works, where it had appeared in the book The Man that Corrupted Hadleybury & Other Stories.

[TheAntiV]

In 1904, he wrote a postscript to his essay titled "The Jew as Soldier," conceding that Jews had indeed fought in the Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Mexican War in numbers greater than their percentage of the population. This meant that "the Jews patriotism was not merely level with the Christians but overpassed it."

[TheAntiV]

Twain argued that prejudice against Jews derived neither from their public conduct nor their religion, but from envy that Christians felt toward Jewish economic achievements. He cited the speech of a German lawyer who wanted the Jews driven from Berlin because, according to the lawyer, "eighty-five percent of the successful lawyers of Berlin were Jews." Twain observed that envy "is a much more hate-inspiring thing than is any detail connected with religion."

[TheAntiV]

Twain replaced his earlier negative stereotype of the Jewish people with another, more positive one. In 1879, he wrote privately: "Sampson was a Jew therefore not a fool. The Jews have the best average brain of any people in the world. The Jews are the only race who work wholly with their brains and never with their hands. There are no Jewish beggars, no Jewish tramps, no Jewish ditch diggers, hod-carriers, day laborers or followers of toilsome, mechanical trades."
