Disraeli
Author: David Cesarani
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300221894
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Lauded as a “great Jew,” excoriated by antisemites, and one of Britain’s most renowned prime ministers, Benjamin Disraeli has been widely celebrated for his role in Jewish history. But is the perception of him as a Jewish hero accurate? In what ways did he contribute to Jewish causes? In this groundbreaking, lucid investigation of Disraeli’s life and accomplishments, David Cesarani draws a new portrait of one of Europe’s leading nineteenth-century statesmen, a complicated, driven, opportunistic man. While acknowledging that Disraeli never denied his Jewish lineage, boasted of Jewish achievements, and argued for Jewish civil rights while serving as MP, Cesarani challenges the assumption that Disraeli truly cared about Jewish issues. Instead, his driving personal ambition required him to confront his Jewishness at the same time as he acted opportunistically. By creating a myth of aristocratic Jewish origins for himself, and by arguing that Jews were a superior race, Disraeli boosted his own career but also contributed to the consolidation of some of the most fundamental stereotypes of modern antisemitism.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, K. G., And His Times, Vol. 2 Mr. Disraeli was in favour of the bill. He supported the principle of com pensation, and differed wholly from the view taken upon the subject by Mr. Bright Now I hope it will be under stood, he said (february 15, that I uphold the principle of compensation, not merely as a matter of justice to those whose property is destroyed by order of the local authority, but also as a matter of public prudence, and for the general advantage of the country. I confess that, unless I believed it to be necessary for the general advantage, I should not support the principle of compensation. I admit that those who suffer under visitations like that we are endeavouring to mitigate, ought to receive some assistance extra from that which they may acquire by their own exertions. But I must also admit that public subscriptions are the natural resource to appeal to under ordinary circumstances; and if all we had to consider were the losses of the farmers, it would be, I think, a legitimate question to discuss whether their losses should not be supplied by their own exertions, and by private sympathy and charity. But a great principle is here involved. I believe that by admitting the principle of compensation you are indirectly preventing the spread of the calamity which we are now endeavouring to eradi cate. It is on that ground I support the provisions of this bill. This view was undoubtedly based on just grounds. The farmer or squire' was not to be compensated because he had lost his cattle from disease, but because he had lost his cattle by comply ing with the orders of the government, which directed that property should be destroyed for the public good. Under such circum stances it was only fair that compensation should be tendered for the loss of valuable animals, which might perhaps have been saved had their owners been permitted to have recourse to the remedies that were then so freely being suggested.
