HIS 348 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Meritocracy
Document Summary
Armenian christians, etc: older /elite anti-semitism- they are the masters, jews are different from them, Jewish people must accept their status in life, honor is essential, they are the representatives of society. They are authentic, they have roots, and they have centuries of tradition. They are in opposition to jewish trades, jewish people stayed away from the front, jews are shady people and do not have honorable, money and material is everything to them. Jews change their identities all the time, there is nothing fixed or concrete about them. Education of jewish people was the value of merit and intelligence. If they accept intelligence as their equal then the jewish people can be their equal. One is not trained to be an elite one is born an elite.
