You never see a Jew working; and yet they grow rich.

What I want to know is, why do we not all do the same?
Why do we not also do this and become rich ?" This is, I need hardly say, an over-simplification.

Jews often work hard at some things, especially intellectual things.
But the same experience which tells us that we have known many industrious Jewish scholars, Jewish lawyers, Jewish doctors, Jewish pianists, chess-players and so on, is an experience which cuts both ways.
The same experience, if carefully consulted, will probably tell us that we have not known personally many patient Jewish ploughmen, many laborious Jewish blacksmiths, many active Jewish hedgers and ditchers, or even many energetic Jewish hunters and fishermen.
In short, the popular impression is tolerably true to life, as popular impressions very often are; though it is not fashionable to say so in these days of democracy and self-determination.

Jews do not generally work on the land, or in any of the handicrafts that are akin to the land; but the Zionists reply that this is because it can never really be their own land.

That is Zionism, and that has really a practical place in the past and future of Zion.
Patriotism is not merely dying for the nation.
