Rabbi Saadya Gramma recently wrote a book about Jewish Superioritythat caused a ruckusin the Jewish community. They scrambled to get it off the shelves before the gentiles( goyim) could get s glimpse of it. A must read article of the bookat:

Rabbi Grama's book has been attacked by prominent Jewish figures including the Jewish Anti-Defamation League (ADL) -- and even the author himself was eventually persuaded that publicity about his own book was so bad for Jews that he himself requested that it be withdrawn from display.
What is it about the book The Superiority of Israel that justifies such condemnation, 180 degree reversals, and suppression? Let's let Rabbi Grama and his book speak for themselves -- all of the following summaries and extracts are from Jewish sources, some of which endorse the book, some of which condemn it, and some of which are desperate to keep the book and the tradition it represents from reaching non-Jewish eyes:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The book describes gentiles as "completely evil," constituting an inferior "species." In the book, Grama urged Jews to hide their true beliefs and feelings from gentiles.
(Jewish Daily Forward)
Grama himself writes:
<BLOCKQUOTE>The difference between the people of Israel and the nations of the world is an essential one. The Jew by his source and in his very essence is entirely good. The goy, by his source and in his very essence is completely evil. This is not simply a matter of religious distinction, but rather of two completely different species. </BLOCKQUOTE>
The Forward summarizes Grama's arguments as follows:
<BLOCKQUOTE>The differences between Jews and gentiles are not religious, historical, cultural or political. They are, rather, racial, genetic and scientifically unalterable. The one group is at its very root and by natural constitution "totally evil" while the other is "totally good."
Jewish successes in the world are completely contingent upon the failure of all other peoples. Only when the gentiles face total catastrophe do the Jews experience good fortune. </BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
