>They are persons who acknowledge the same God as the Christian people of this realm. They acknowledge the same divine revelation as yourselves. They are, humanly speaking, the authors of your religion. [Hansard’s, 1923]

The need to maintain the Christian character of the Parliament was — as he believed — the best reason for admitting Jews to hold seats in Parliament. Needless to say, this argument did not get the support of the conservatives and for a time Disraeli ceased to speak on the Jewish question.

The Jewish community in England generally regarded Disraeli as a renegade, and this opinion was changed only after his death. In 1847, Baron de Rothschild was first elected to the House of Commons. Because the followers of the Mosaic faith could not take part in the deliberations because of refusal to take the oath to Christianity, Prime Minister Lord Russell submitted a draft law on Jewish emancipation to remove the problem of oath. In 1848, the bill was approved by the House of Commons, but was rejected twice by the House of Lords. After being rejected by the House of Lords in 1849, Rothschild resigned from his seat but was re-elected by winning the supplementary election. In 1850, he appeared in the House of Commons, but he did not want to swear to the Bible asking for permission to take the oath to the Old Testament. He obtained such consent, but when he omitted the final phrase in the oath ‘on the true faith of a Christian’, he was called by the Speaker to leave the House. In 1851, a new bill on the emancipation of Jews was again rejected in the House of Lords. Finally, in 1858, the House of Lords agreed to a proposal to change the words of the oath.
