It's hard to induce me to read a book anymore, but Roth's little volume caught my attention

From Jews Must Live, I'd read the quote about doing so much damage to the world long ago, but never tackled the rest. Turns out it's quite interesting, this guy really lost his patience.

JEW-HATRED AS A NATURAL INSTINCT
​
But what sort of speech is this for a Jew, you are probably asking yourself, by this time? I can see the question half-glimmering in your eyes. My answer must be steel set in granite. The dew of compassion has entirely dried up in my bowels. I am myself a Jew, I know it. But I am a Jew who has been brought to the point where he so loathes his people that he thinks in terms of their destruction. No, it has not escaped me that the destruction of Israel would mean my own end, too. I would not want to survive in a world without Jews. Yet, by God, I don't know how I shall ever again contentedly live with them: I pray for my own effacement as fervently as I pray for theirs. This is a work of terror, and I am trying to make a terribly good job of it. I have taken out the old Jewish carcass to expose it in the sun. I shall rub it till every sore on it shines like a planet of light.

I know how well the Jews have earned the hatred which is in my heart towards them. I do not doubt that they have earned in equally good measure the hatred which the nations entertained towards them since records of such international courtesies have been made. Anti-semitism is the natural effect of a social cause. I cannot understand why such a deep mystery is made of this simple cause.
