Book excerpt: "The Jewish Problem and its Final Solution: Modernity and Destiny" traces two-thousand years of the West's Jewish Problem from its emergence at the birth of Christianity to its modern secular adaptation as the "Jewish Question." The book describes the backlash of western society to the legal promise of Jewish emancipation in the nineteenth century. That promise had a backlash in the form of antisemitic political parties and, in the 20th century, German National Socialism with a political platform and agenda for achieving a final solution to the West's two-thousand years Jewish Problem. It is consoling to believe that the Holocaust is, as often described by scholars and clergy, was an event unique in History. This book rejects that assertion as dangerous, as feeding Denial regarding the true nature of the danger Jews face in the Diaspora. It describes instead a systematic history of a pathology first described in 1882 by the early Zionist Leon Pinsker. The Jewish Problem is a pathology in which a tiny Jewish minority is feared as alien and demonic, a gospel-described threat to Christendom. To German science Jews were considered a pathogen justifying extermination, a deadly virus endangering human existence itself. Christian doctrine generally saw the solution to its Jewish Problem as the disappearance of Jews through conversion. To secular society, conversion has no value. With modern science and technology, society has available a far more effective solution to the West's Jewish Problem. Israeli Holocaust historian Alex Bein warned that "almost all periods of great violence... have caught the Jews by surprise... persecutions began with particular severity and intensity especially when the Jews position was so secure... there was no thought of attacks and major violence-at least not in their country, their house." Vice President Biden issued a similar warning to his Jewish audience in 2014: [You know] "in your bones [that] there is really only one absolute guarantee, and that's the state of Israel."
