Written by Hilaire Belloc <i>The Jews</i> is one of his political works and is also probably one of his most controversial. Belloc was a prolific English writer of French descent and one of the most well published authors of the twentieth century. Belloc wrote in different styles and about a wide range of topics, but was probably most well known for his poetry and his writing on history, politics, and economics. <br><br>In <i>The Jews</i>, Belloc argues that the status of the Jews in Europe, as a people without a home, will surely lead to conflict and that it is critically important to find a recognized and segregated land for these people.

Belloc’s fears of great conflict in Europe are seemingly prophetic when read in modern times. For those interested in political commentary, particularly about the place of the Jewi
