1918: quote of alleged appeal made on behalf of "6,000,000 Jews" in "a terrible state" in Russia. This line curious:

"..the Kaiser .. fearing to come out publicly in Germany, *where the Jews are powerful*, he tries to annihilate them in Russia."

Apparently, the Jewish population of 'evil', 'antisemitic' Tsarist Russia *grew* – doubled – from 3 million to 6 million in just four (4) years, 1899-1903.

All this while Jews were fleeing Russia.

Amazing.

Superb example of pilpul:

Don't blame Russia's Jews for not working in agriculture – you passed laws to stop them migrating from the towns to the villages *because* they were preying on the peasants.
