> There are some idiosyncratic inclusions, but there are a variety of

> As I've mentioned, with but a few exceptions I've deflected attention
> from Marx's "On the Jewish Question", which is a whole topic by
> itself regarding in-depth investigation.

> I could not find any noteworthy work by Engels on this subject. Most
> of his remarks consist of reportage of specific events and situations
> or very specific comments. Of more general interest, the only thing I
> could find was a commentary about the politics of the anti-Semitic peasantry.

> I have never been able to find a bibliographic reference for the
> oft-quoted but never-sourced remark by August Bebel: "Anti-semitism
> is the socialism of fools."  It doesn't matter all that much, but
> maybe someday . . . My bibliography aims at an analytical,
> theoretical perspective, and is not so much concerned about the
> specifics of the problem except insofar as the issue is tied into
> larger struggles over the national question, as per the Bolsheviks
> vs. the Jewish Labor Bund, which features prominently.
> 
> Similarly, Zionism plays an ancillary role here, though it is an

> My explanatory note at the end states my principles of composition.

> My initial motivation for doing this comes from research into the
> late 19th-century Eastern European Jewish intelligentsia, without
> concern for contemporary controversies. However, sad to say, I find
> this excursion into the past all too relevant to the political
> degeneracy of the present historical moment. The Internet is a
> magnificent tool for disseminating poison, and detecting its presence
> globally. I find that when I have absolutely no intention of getting
> involved in debates over the Middle East, and even when I'm
> researching topics having no direct connection with either the past
> or the present politics of the region or anywhere, I'm bumping
> constantly into the most vile bigotry as well as the more subtle
> kind. Such are the fruits not only of the resurgence of the right and
> neo-nazism, but of the poison tree of Stalinism, ultraleftism,
> leftist thirdworldism, and third world nationalism, finally dumbed
> down to the retarded trinity of vulgar anti-imperialism,
> anti-Americanism, and anti-Zionism, which has been labeled the
> "anti-globalism of fools." (Excuse all the mixed metaphors, but I'm
