‘The Question
1
‘Tunse last ten years and more I have been
asking myself, with increasing urgency, a
number of questions:
1s there any special significance in the dis-
tinction I have so long cherished—the dis-
tinction of “Jew-gentile"—not to be found
in the class of distinctions implied in
“American-Foreigner” or “Englishman-For-
cigner”? Is there, between us Jews and you
gentile, that is between the Jew on the one
hand and the Englishman, the Frenchman,
the American on the other hand, that which
transcends all the differences which exist
among yourselves, so that, in relation to us,
you are gentiles first, and afterwards (and
without particular relevance in this connec.
tion) Englishmen, Frenchmen, Americans?
