> From Alice Bailey's pen  -----
The need of the Jew at this time is for a solution of this ancient problem 
which has disturbed the peace of countries down the centuries. The 
responsibility of the non-Jews, in the light of humanitarian demand, is 
vital; the record of the persecution of the Jews is a grievous and ghastly 
story, only paralleled by the Jewish treatment of their enemies, as related 
in The Old Testament. The fate of the Jews in the world war is a terrible 
tale of cruelty, torture and wholesale murder and the treatment of the Jews 
down the ages is one of the blackest chapters in human history. For it there 
is no excuse or condonation, and right thinking people everywhere are aware 
of this and are eagerly demanding that these persecutions end. The spiritual 
forces of the world and the spiritual leaders of humanity (both those 
working on the outer plane and those guiding from the inner side of the 
veil) are seeking a solution. . .

Alongside of this, one must place the long and sorry story of the 
persecution of the Jews by the Gentiles - widespread in the Middle Ages (if 
one goes no further back), sporadic in more modern times, but culminating in 
the violent treatment of the Jews during the world war. It was, however, a 
treatment not uniquely theirs but meted out also to Poles, Greeks and the 
helpless of many nations. This is a point which the Jews today appear to 
forget. They have not been alone in their persecution. The Jews constituted 
only twenty per cent of the dispersed persons in Europe after the war.
