>The fear of being labeled anti-semitic certainly explains why there is a double standard in the way Judah Benjamin is treated, who, after all, also owned black slaves and was no less racist and supremacist than his non-Jewish Confederate friends. This mincing of words whenever the topic of Jews arises became omnipresent after the Second World War. In 1947, the Supreme Lodge of the B’nai B’rith organized its 18th General Convention in the capital city of the U.S, and, for this occasion, invited several ‘goyim’ to express themselves. A non-Jewish Freemason, the Attorney-General of the United States, Thomas C. Clark, made a speech, for instance, in which he referred to Judah Benjamin and his co-religionists in obsequious terms:

>"In every period of our history, whether peace or war, prosperity or adversity, members of your faith have played a leading part. When our future as a united people hung by a thread in Civil War days, they served with distinction on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. One of the greatest men on the side of the South was Judah P. Benjamin – United States Senator while on the North was Mayer Lehman. It was he who arranged for the shipment of food through the blockade of the South."
