Was Jean Jacques-Rousseau anti-semitic or pro-semitic?
- Scott-------------------------------------------
"On the whole, Montesquieu favored the Jews and empathized with their sufferings (Judaism is a mother who has given birth to two daughters who have struck her a thousand blows... If you do not want to be Christian, at least be human) he also warned that wherever there is money there are Jews. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a noteworthy exception to the rule and adopted a stand consistently favorable to the Jews."
