Фрэнк Херберт был антисемитом

"The people to whom your attention has been called are the Jews. 
They made a defensive decision eons ago.  The solution to recurrent
pogroms was to vanish from public view. 
Space travel made this not only possible but attractive.  They hid
on countless planets -- their own Scattering -- and they probably
have planets where only their people live.  This does not mean
they have abandoned age-old practices in which they excelled out
of survival necessity.  The old religion is sure to persist even though
somewhat altered.  It is probable that a rabbi from ancient times
would not find himself out of place behind the Sabbath menorah
of a Jewish household in your age.  But their secrecy is such that you
could work a lifetime beside a Jew and never suspect. 
They call it 'Complete Cover,' although they know its dangers."
Chapterhouse: Dune

Все, понимаешь, страдания Муаддиба и размышления Лито II свелись к банальному загойвору ЗОГа.
Десятки тысячелетий евреи хранили тайное знание и практиковали священные ритуалы с использованием меноры, почитали день субботний, и всё это в столице Харконненов.
Потому что в шестой книге эпопеи они должны всех спасти (я не дочитал пока, но явно именно так и никак иначе!!!)
Такой вот spice must flow, однако.
Товарищ! Опасайся!
