...Jews are concentrated, a likely item of Jewish news: "One of the largest armies in the modern history of the Jewish race is being recruited and trained to take its place on the Western Front for the expected assault by Germany in the spring. Known as the Legions of Judea, the army already has 25,000 men in training at Aldershot, England, and another 10,000 training in France. A third unit of Jewish soldiers is being formed at Montreal, and is expected to number 15,000 during the next month, thus bringing the total...

Some Jewish insiders opined that this British corridor will bend north at Jerusalem and extend all the way to Nazareth, others were sure it would stop at Jerusalem.

...Reich must know what Christ, Whom the Jews nailed to the cross, means." More than once the phrase "The Jews jeered and said'' appears in the new Nazified version instead of "Then said the Jews," as in the Lutheran version.

Herod was of desert stock, an Idumean, traditionally pagan in the Jewish world. He became king of Judea principally through the intrigues of his father, Antipater, who had been active in fomenting civil war in Palestine in the hope of securing Roman intervention. At that time Pompey, on a triumphal march from Armenia back to Rome, stopped to add to his laurels by putting Judea under Roman domination, left Antipater the real power behind a dummy king. Herod was thus always the representative of Rome in a remote and hostile country, first won recognition when he cleaned out rebellious patriots...
