What reading level is The Case of the Anti Zionists a Reply book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Jewish nationality is to go, and Judaism is to remain as one of the universal religions as the religion of such Englishmen or Frenchmen or Greeks or Jews as may be persuaded to adopt it for the sake of its universal truths.
There is a superficial attractiveness about this ideal of Mr. Montefiore's. To make Judaism no longer the exclusive creed of a despised race, but a faith counting its adherents by millions in every civilised country ; no longer tolerated as a quaint survival from the day...s of tribal religions, but welcomed as a path to salvation by an ever-growing number of gentiles that is at least an intelligible aim for the Jew, and one which may for a moment seem to make the Jewish struggle worth while, to give meaning and purpose to the long tragedy of Jewish history. But only for a moment. For it is not the Jew in us, but the European, who finds this prospect fascinating. Once look at the vision with Jewish eyes, and it loses its sublimity. The Jewish ideal, the ideal of the Prophets, demands the perpetuation of the Jewish people and the never-ending attempt to embody in its national life the will of God, the law of righteousness ; and it sees that attempt ultimately crowned with success, and the nations of the earth coming up of their own accord to do homage to the God of Israel, who is also the God of the universe.
