We are conscious not of separatist Jewish national solidarity

Correspondence

Transcribed from the clipping

“I fear the separatist nationalistic movement among Jews known as Zionism has led you to this conclusion. But let me remind you that there are any number of Jews in the United States who have no conscious separatist solidarity other than a religious solidarity and a solidarity of sympathy with their suffering co-religionists abroad… This is our homeland.” Jacob de Haas replies for the Zionists, quoting the Pittsburgh convention of June 1918: “First: We declare for political and civil equality irrespective of race, sex or faith, of all the inhabitants of the Land.”
