"now we have to ask ourselves the question: how about the jew as a state builder? does the jew possess the power to create a state? first we must examine his attitude to work, find out how he perceives the principle of work, and excuse me if i now take a book called the bible. i am not claiming that all its contents are necessarily true, as we know that jewry was very liberal in writing it. one thing, however, is certain: it has not been written by an antisemite. it is very important because no antisemite would have been able to write a more terrible indictment against the jewish race than the bible, the old testament. let us take a look at a sentence: by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread. and it says that it was to be a punishment for the fall of man. ladies and gentlemen! already here we see that the whole world lies between us; we could never conceive of work as a punishment  otherwise we would all have been convicts. we do not want to conceive of work as punishment.[...] if paradise really existed, the land of plenty, then our people would have been unhappy in it. we germans seek constantly a possibility to do something and if we cannot find anything, at least from time to time we hit one another in the face. we are unable to bear absolute rest. thus we see, already here, a big difference. because a jew has written this, true or not is unimportant because it still reflects the opinion which jewry has about work. for them work is not an obvious ethical duty but at most a means to sustenance. in our eyes, this is not work because in this case any activity serving self-preservation, without regard to fellow men, might be called work. and we know that this work, in the past, consisted of plundering of caravans, and today in planned plundering of indebted farmers, industrialists and workers. the form has changed but the principle is the same. we do not call it work, but robbery." -adolf hitler
