The Jew as Soldier by Mark Twain When I published the above article in Harper's Monthly, I was ignorant -- like the rest of the Christian world -- of the fact that the Jew had a record as a soldier. I have since seen the official statistics, and I find that he furnished soldiers and high officers to the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Mexican War. In the Civil War he was represented in the armies and navies of both the North and the South by 10 percent of his numerical strength -- the same percentage that was furnished by the Christian populations of the two sections. This large fact means more than it seems to mean; for it means that the Jew's patriotism was not merely level with the Christian's, but overpassed it. When the Christian volunteer arrived in camp he got a welcome and applause, but as a rule the Jew got a snub. His company was not desired, and he was made to feel it. That he nevertheless conquered his wounded pride and sacrificed both that and his blood for his flag raises the average and quality of his patriotism above the Christian's. His record for capacity, for fidelity, and for gallant soldiership in the field is as good as any one's. This is true of the Jewish private soldiers and the Jewish generals alike. Major-General O. Howard speaks of one of his Jewish staff-officers as being "of the bravest and best"; of another -- killed at Chancellorsville -- as being "a true friend and a brave officer"; he highly praises two of his Jewish brigadier-generals; finally, he uses these strong words: "Intrinsically there are no more patriotic men to be found in the country than those who claim to be of Hebrew descent, and who served with me in parallel commands or more directly under my instructions." hannibal.net * * *

You can not separate Christianity from Judaism. Jesus was a Jew, as was Peter, Paul, Timothy, etc. The early church was entirely Jewish. Israel and the Jews figure prominently in the Book Of Revelation. Israel has suffered because they Jews rejected Christ, and their inheritance was give to the gentiles. Nevertheless, the promises made will be fulfilled. Israel will return to God, they will accept Jesus as the Messiah. To this day God's promise " I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you" holds firm. Read history, and note the fate of kings and kingdoms that have persecuted His people. NOTE: I am a gentile, former heathen, not a Jew.
