Multiple sources, including a 1871 circular quoted by Weekly Worker and the Libcom and Anarchozoe reprints of Bakunin's text, attribute to Bakunin the claim that the Jewish world is a single profiteering sect and a people of bloodsuckers at the disposal of Marx and Rothschild.
What was said
… He said it many times. That's why he got kicked out of the First International. Now, you have a man of Karl Marx's stature, Bakunin's stature, and, as far as the left is concerned, saying this kind of thing. Here's what Bakunin says himself: A Jew, Marx has around him in London and France, but especially in Germany, a multitude of more or less clever, intriguing, mobile, speculating Jews, everywhere: commercial, banking agents, writers, politicians, correspondents for newspapers, one foot in the bank, the other in the socialist movement. Now, this entire Jewish world, which forms a single profiteering sect, a people of bloodsuckers, a single gluttonous parasite, closely and intimately united, not only across national borders, but across all differences of political opinion, the Jewish world today stands at the most part at the disposal of Marx and at the same time at the disposal of Rothschild.

Supports. Weekly Worker quotes a December 1871 circular attributed to Bakunin describing 'this whole Jewish world' as 'a single exploitative sect, a sort of bloodsucker people, a collective parasite' at the disposal of Marx and the Rothschilds.[1]
Supports. The Libcom and Anarchozoe reprints of Bakunin's text state that 'this entire Jewish world, which forms a single profiteering sect, a people of bloodsuckers... stands for the most part at the disposal of Marx and at the same time at the disposal of Rothschild.'[2][3]
Supports. A Springer academic chapter says Bakunin claimed the 'whole Jewish world' constitutes a single exploitative sect and a bloodsucker people at the disposal of Marx and Rothschild, citing Fine and Spencer (2017).[4]
Contradicts. Wikiquote places the Marx-and-Jewish-world passage under a 'Disputed' heading, which flags doubt about its authenticity, though it does not show Bakunin did not write it.[5]
Context. The Lib Quotes and Quotepark versions, citing Wheen's 1999 biography, give a different translation of the same passage, consistent with the same underlying text.[6][7]
