The damage done to Jews by left-wing Jews is not new. It began at the beginning of the left with Karl Marx, the grandson of two Orthodox rabbis (his parents had undergone pro forma conversion to Christianity). He wrote one of the most anti-Semitic tracts of the 19th century, "On the Jewish Question," published in 1844. In it he wrote, among other things:

• "What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering ..."
• "What is his worldly God? Money ..."
• "Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist ..."
• "In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism."..............
