- A topic that is not discussed enough is the screaming,
in-your-face, hostile aggression that people must withstand when they dare
to trample on Jewish sensibilities. We are not talking about the sophisticated
rationalization one sees in the op-ed pages of the mainstream media, or
even the smear techniques of organizations like the ADL or the SPLC. We
are talking about interpersonal aggression. There is something absolutely
primal about it.
-
- Now comes a refreshingly frank blog post by Karin Friedemann,
an ethnically Jewish anti-Zionist. She notes the violent intolerance that
defenders of Israel show towards people with different opinions.
-
- American Jews are actually being trained since childhood
to interact with non-Jews! in a deceitful and arrogant manner, in coordination
with each other, to emotionally destroy Gentiles and Israel critics in
addition to wrecking their careers and interfering with their social relationships.
This is actually deliberate, wicked, planned behavior motivated by a narcissistic
self-righteous fury.
-
- The problem is that Gentiles are taught through emotional
pressure and violence via the media and the school system to be very sensitive
to Jewish suffering so when a Zionist becomes outraged at them for challenging
their world view, the Gentile really has to fight against his own inner
self in a huge battle against his "inner Jew" making him feel
inadequate and intimidated. But the Jew doesn't care how much he or she
hurts others. Jews only care about what's good for the Jews.
-
- I once reduced a 50 year old man to hysterical sobbing
tears because I told him gently and lovingly that Jews were not that unique.
I just told him the Jews, like everyone else, have had good times and bad
times. Times when they were slaughtered and other times when they slaughtered
others. Just like everyone else. Guess what he did next. He emotionally
abused me in an insulting way and then cut off all further communication.
Jewish behavior is so predictable that it's truly scary.
-
- If you mention cutting off the money or if you mention
the possible compromise of living with Palestinians as equals in one state
they become very angry and start using bullying tactics, unless they have
some reason to fear you, in which case they shun you and complain about
you to the authorities, try to get you arrested or try and destroy your
career or social status through character assassination.
-
- Zionists all believe in the myth of "1000 years
of Jewish suffering" and feel that the world owes them compensation
for their ancestors' "unique" suffering. It's a criminally insane
viewpoint. They cope with the contradictions between their! belief that
they are the good guys and what Jews are actually doing to their neighbors,
both in the Middle East and in the US, by developing mental health issues.
Most Zionists are functional schizophrenics.
-
- My take:
-
- These tactics are not restricted to critics of Zionism.
As one who has experienced a barrage of hostile email from my faculty colleagues,
I can certainly attest to this. One quickly notices that assertions of
the legitimacy of white identity and interests will also result in a barrage
of hostility. This despite the fact that support for racial Zionism is
strong throughout the entire Jewish political spectrum (see below). A correspondent
sent me the following recently:
-
- I have encountered many liberal, politically correct
Jews who react vociferously (almost violently) to the most innocuous comments
about any topic related to Israel or Jews. One Jew upon my mentioning
that my wife and I had been to Russia s! pent several minutes virtually
frothing at the mouth about Russians. Another upon hearing me say I was
sympathetic to the problems of the Palestinians demanded to know who I
was and how dare I say such a thing. Often zero tolerance for any difference
in opinion.
-
- The media constantly present images of Jewish suffering"most
recently the endless glut of Holocaust movies. But the media ignore instances,
such as the early decades of the USSR and now in Greater Israel, where
Jews have inflicted horrible suffering. Right now I am reading E. Michael
Jones' The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Effect on History. It is
striking to read his account of Jewish violence against non-Jews in the
ancient world, particularly the persecution of Christians whenever Jews
had the power to do so. Long before Christians had any influence on Roman
policy, Christians' complaints about Jews were not stereotypes based on
historical memory but resulted ! from direct experience with Jews: Origen
understood that Jewish calumny helped to cause Christian persecution, and
that Jewish hatred was a fact of life for the Christians, continuing unabated
after the repeated defeats of Messianic politics (i.e., the defeats of
Jewish rebels at the hands of the Romans in 70 and 135 ad) (p. 69). This
is the basis of my concern on what will happen to whites when Jews become
part of a hostile elite in white-minority America.
-
- Non-Jews absorb these media images and as a result feel
inadequate, emotionally intimidated. Eventually they identify with the
aggressor, much like a browbeaten hostage or, as Friedemann suggests, an
abused spouse. Or they maintain their friendships but studiously avoid
talking about anything related to Israel. Non-Jews do the bidding of their
inner Jew because they have internalized images of Jewish suffering. They
therefore aid and abet Jewish brutality and aggression.
-
- Non-Jews who persist in criticizing the organized Jewish
community are threatened with loss of livelihood and social ostracism.
As I noted in a previous article the organized Jewish community does not
believe in free speech. It is important to keep in mind that when Jews
were dominant in the first decades of the Soviet Union, the government
controlled the media, anti-Semitism was outlawed, and there was mass murder
of Christians and the destruction of Christian churches and religious institutions.
-
- As Friedemann notes, the situation is nothing less than
a sign of serious mental health issues for the mainstream Jewish community:
Most Zionists are functional schizophrenics.
-
- I think this is what happens when people who deal with
Jewish issues finally realize that there is no hope for dialogue and begin
to think of what to do next. Honest people finally realize that when it
! comes to critical issues like Israel and multicultural America, the divisions
among Jews are an illusion. (Friedemann herself has renounced her Jewish
identity.) As Friedemann's husband, Joachim Martillo, notes, Jews, who
want to be decent human beings, have no choice but to renounce being Jewish
and serve the anti-Zionist struggle (right now).
-
- Exhibit A for this right now is the murderous Israeli
invasion of Gaza. We know (see, for example, John Mearsheimer's article
in The American Conservative) that this invasion occurred after a prolonged
period when Israel restricted supplies into Gaza and then attacked tunnels
between Gaza and Egypt. We know that the invasion was designed to to inflict
massive pain on the Palestinians so that they come to accept the fact that
they are a defeated people and that Israel will be largely responsible
for controlling their future.
-
- The tone of Mearsheimer's article suggests a dramatic
shift in attitud! e where the usual inhibitions on public discourse are
finally beginning to fall, even for a respected academic:
-
- There is little chance that people around the world
who follow the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will soon forget the appalling
punishment that Israel is meting out in Gaza. [D]iscourse about this longstanding
conflict has undergone a sea change in the West in recent years, and many
of us who were once wholly sympathetic to Israel now see that the Israelis
are the victimizers and the Palestinians are the victims.
-
- The gloves are coming off. This is what happens when
smart and honest people who work hard to get the scholarship right are
nevertheless smeared as anti-Semites guilty of the vilest misdeeds. Not
surprisingly, Abe Foxman " a premier defender of the racial Zionist
status quo in Israel " devoted an entire book to smearing Mearsheimer
and Walt. Quite simply, there is no point to talking to such people or
taking seriously what the! y say about us.
-
- We know that the government of Israel is firmly in the
hands of the racial Zionists " followers of Vladimir Jabotinsky and
his view of the racial distinctiveness and superiority of the Jewish people.
Indeed, the only question in the Israeli election is which brand of racial
Zionism will form the next government. One knows that racial Zionism has
completely won the day in Israel when Kadima " the party of Ariel
Sharon, Ehud Olmert, Tzipi Livni and the Gaza invasion " is now described
by Benjamin Netanyahu as the party of the left. (The LA Times dutifully
calls it centrist but, as Israeli peace activist Uri Avnery writes, Livni
cries to high heaven against any dialogue with Hamas. She objects to a
mutually agreed cease-fire. She tries to compete with Netanyahu and [Avignor]
Liberman with unbridled nationalist messages. ) Indeed, Netanyahu's only
worry is that the openly racist Liberman " a disciple of the notorious
Meir Kehane " will take away too m! any votes from Likud.
-
- The situation is analogous to a US election
- where Pat Buchanan is the candidate of the far left.
(I can dream.)
-
- Avnery analogizes the election to a joke where a sergeant
tells his men: I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is
that you are going to change your dirty socks. The bad news is that you
are going to exchange them among yourselves.
-
- Once again we see at work the general principle that
within the Jewish community, the most extreme elements carry the day and
pull the rest of the Jewish community with them. As I noted in "Zionism
and the Internal Dynamics of Judaism," "over time, the more militant,
expansionist Zionists (the Jabotinskyists, the Likud Party, fundamentalists,
and West Bank settlers) have won the day and have continued to push for
territorial expansion within Israel. This has led to conflicts with Palestinians
and a widespread belief among Jews that Israel itself is threatened. The
result ! has been a heightened group consciousness among Jews and ultimately
support for Zionist extremism among the entire organized American Jewish
community."
-
- The fanatics keep pushing the envelop, forcing other
Jews to either go along with their agenda or cease being part of the Jewish
community. Ominously, if elected, Netanyahu promises that a top priority
will be "harnessing the U.S. administration to stop the threat"
of Iran's nuclear program.
-
- Incidentally, E. Michael Jones (The Jewish Revolutionary
Spirit and Its Effect on History, p. 42ff) has expanded this argument to
the ancient world. He shows how the Jewish community was pulled in the
direction of fanaticism by the Zealots who expelled the followers of Jesus
from the synagogue and adopted a disastrous path of revolution against
Rome, leading ultimately to the defeats of 70 and 135 a.d.
-
- A good example of the schizophrenia described by Friedemann
comes from the fact that around 80% of American Jews! voted for Obama but
around the same percentage blames Hamas for the escalation of violence
and believes that the Israeli response was appropriate. These results of
the poll on the Gaza invasion were proudly announced by Abraham Foxman
of the ADL, an organization that is one of the principal forces in promoting
a post-European America. The Jewish left is a pillar of multi-cultural
America but strongly supports racial Zionism in Israel.
-
- This same schizophrenia was on display at a recent presentation
at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles by Chris Hedges and Mark Potok "
he of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The program dealt with the usual
bogey-men of the organized Jewish community: Christian fundamentalists,
skinheads, David Duke, and (I am gratified to report) The Occidental Quarterly.
In a comment on the alliance between Christian conservatives and Zionists,
an audience member mentioned (to stifled applause) that There are Jewish
fascists. But the moderator, Ian! Masters, saved the day when he stated
that the vast majority of American Jews are secular and liberal "
a comment that brought much applause, presumably because it reassured the
many Jews in the audience that they weren't like THOSE Jews. For his part,
Potok, that stalwart warrior against white America, expressed his support
for what he sees as a beleaguered Israel on the verge of apocalypse at
the hands of the Arabs. Schizophrenia indeed.
-
- The politicians who are running Israel are, if anything,
more racialist and nationalist than anything even remotely on the horizon
in American or European politics. As Avnery notes:
-
- In every other country, Liberman's program would be called
fascist, without quotation marks. Nowhere in the Western world is there
a large party that would dare to advance such a demand [to annul the citizenship
of Arabs]. The neo-fascists in Switzerland and Holland want to expel foreigners,
not to annul the citizenship of the native-born.
- When Joerg Haider was taken into the Austrian cabinet,
Israel recalled its ambassador from Vienna in protest. But compared to
Liberman, Haider was a raving liberal, and so is Jean-Marie le Pen. Now
Netanyahu has announced that Liberman will be an important minister in
his government, Livni has hinted that he will be in her government, too,
and Barak has not excluded that possibility.
-
- The optimistic version says that Liberman will prove
to be a passing curiosity. There is also a pessimistic version: Fascism
has become a serious player in the Israeli public domain. The three main
parties have now legitimized it. This phenomenon must be stopped before
it is too late.
-
- So I have a suggestion for the Foxmans, the Potoks, the
neoconservatives, and the secular Jewish liberals of the world: If you
want to fight racism and ethnic nationalism, start in your own backyard.
And my suggestion for the rest of us is to get rid of what Friedemann calls
the inner! Jew. I know it's hard to do. But once you tune out the screaming
hostility (and assuming you don't fear losing your job), it's easy. Just
don't expect a pleasant or rational conversation.
