Never say I don't deliver.

So I did my research (which is still underway) and it would seem that this was NOT a quote by Voltaire, but rather by Kevin Alfred Strom, the details of which are available online. The misquote was first propogated by an as of yet unidentified entity (that is to say I haven't identified the source) during the Dieudonné affair and trial in 2014, which is probably where I got the quote since I followed that closely. It was again shared in 2015 by an Australian Senator named Cory Bernardi and was spread pretty widely.

So it would seem this is NOT a Voltaire quote. I stand corrected.

That being said, I am still reading Voltaires works regarding the JQ (he did not like jews at all) and might still come across something along these lines. If I do identify something similar that would indicate a paraphrasing, I'll make a post of it.

If you're interested, This is an uncensored online version of the Philosophical Dictionary by Voltaire, which you have to really look to find because many versions both in print and online are censored, containing the chapter on the Jews.

Very interesting reading. In fact, I think I'm going to make a post of it.
