This defining work on Jews, Jewish ethnicity, behavior, impact, and the causes of anti-Semitism, remains one of the most ground-breaking and incisive such studies ever produced in the English language. The book-dedicated to Hilaire Belloc's Jewish friends-laid the blame for anti-Semitism squarely on Jewish behavior, that is, Gentile reaction to what he called the "inevitability of friction" caused by the presence of Jews in non-Jewish society. Belloc believed that if friction between Jews and Gentiles was not resolved, it would lead to a catastrophe. Starting with the thesis that "Jews are an alien body within the society they inhabit-hence irritation and friction," and are a clearly identifiable and definable race, Belloc argued that the only solution was a "recognition on both sides of a separate Jewish nationality." He said that "denial of the problem" was a "fiction" which had broken down because of the obviousness of the "great increase of [Jewish] power" in Western nations. He explains his thesis through a historical survey of Jewish behavior, including a review of what he called "the Jewish revolution in Russia" (the 1917 Bolshevist uprising which created the Soviet Union), and Jewish activities in Central Europe and the United States-where he highlights the work of Henry Ford as having "great effect." He also provides a detailed description of Jewish influence in England. Belloc's conclusion is that Zionism, or the creation of a Jewish homeland, offered the only hope for a realistic solution to the problem of the "endless tragic cycle of anti-Semitism"-but not in Palestine, where he predicted it would cause conflict with the Arab world. "Now these causes of friction permanently present tend to produce what I have called the tragic cycle: welcome of a Jewish colony, then ill-ease, followed by acute ill-ease, followed by persecution, exile and even massacre. This followed, naturally, by a reaction and the taking up of the process all over again."
