Der Schriftsteller Mark Twain, der selbst einmal Israel bereiste und der Legende nach im heutigen Petra - Hostel am Jerusalemer Jaffa - Tor abstieg, sagte einmal über die Juden:
The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound
and splendor, then . . . passed away. The Greek and the Roman followed. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no
decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts. … All things are
mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of
his immortality?
