Good quotes from a "regular," mainstream historian (before "P. C." times) about both race and Jews in ancient times: From the book EAST AND WEST by C. Northcote Parkinson, 1963, 1965 Houghton Mifflin Co./Mentor Books; about Western civilization in general. Parkinson is a historian and journalist, and attended Cambridge University, among others.
Here are several great quotes, from two pages (104 and 105, softcover edition). (Note that we are "Ed.") :
"Was intermarriage allowed between Roman and Asian* (*not necessarily Oriental- Ed.) families? Apparently not. Gibbon tells us that the emperor Constantine specifically warned his son against any sort of mixed marriage.
....A just regard for the purity of descent preserves the harmony of public and private life; but the mixture of foreign blood is the fruitful source of disorder and discord..."* (*As it appears in the book, page 104, paragraphs 2 and 3, softcover edition -Ed). (Gibbon, Edward, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," 7 volumes, 1776-1788)."
(*Did they know something we do not? -Ed.)
---------------------- And from the same page, and the next one: ----------------------
"Carthage had been destroyed, but among the Carthaginian satellites had been the Jews, scattered westward from Palestine but of Asian origin and sympathies, potential spies and rebels, difficult to assimilate and impossible to trust. The Jew represented then, and has appeared ever since as an enemy agent behind the European lines, tolerated when the East is in retreat but thought dangerous when the movement goes the other way." (In its entirety, page 104, paragraph 4).
--------------- And also, the Jews as hostile to Western ideas: ---------------
"The Jews were essentially the people who refused to stand while the national anthem was being played; which again might have been excusable if their loyalty could have been assumed." (In its entirety, page 105, paragraph 1).
------ And.... ------
"The Jews looked for salvation to the East. At each crisis they were found to be a force in the Asian camp actively hostile to the West." (In its entirety, page 105, paragraph 1).
----------
This theme above (Jews acting as an ethnic group of outsiders hostile to Western thinking/ideas) is very long, and continues to this day, e.g., their using Hollywood to attack "conservative," Western values that do not dovetail with their own.
