One 1920 German-Jewish faction called eastern Jews morally foreign sub-Asians

Evidence

According to Max Naumann, in a tract published in the same year as Zweig’s work, Vom nationaldeutschen Juden [On the Nationalist German Jew] (1920), the Jews of the East maintained “moral views of sub-Asia [Halb-Asiens] foreign to the German spirit” and therefore posed a threat to the well-being of those views held dearest to Germans. — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 415
