The Nature of Jewish Power – Part 2

Concerning the duality, duplicity, doublethink and double-talk inherent in jewish identity and characterizing jewish power.

Prince Charles warns of rising antisemitism | UK news | The Guardian, 24 June 2013:

Prince Charles has warned that Britain was suffering from an “apparent rise in antisemitism, along with other poisonous and debilitating forms of intolerance”, according to . He made the comments in a speech that praised the work of Lord Sacks, the outgoing chief rabbi, in promoting tolerance.

Charles said: “Running throughout your time as chief rabbi has been that all-important principle of which this country has long been an exponent – the principle of tolerance.

“I sometimes fear not enough recognition is given to the role of the faith communities in the life of our country in promoting such a critical principle, and I join with you, in mounting anxiety, at the apparent rise in antisemitism, along with other poisonous and debilitating forms of intolerance.”

This principle of tolerance means in effect subordinating White interests to the interests of “minorities”, with jews as the archetypical “minority”. This tolerance is poisonous and debilitating to Whites.

In his speech Sacks was due to describe his 22 years as chief rabbi as the most exciting and fulfilling of his life. But he was also expected to issue a warning over the number of Jews who do not have a Jewish marriage, and the growth of so-called ultra-orthodoxy.

George Orwell on Doublethink:

Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.

Charles Jacobs’ Americans for Peace and Tolerance:

Promoting peaceful coexistence in an ethnically diverse America

From the sidebar:

“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. […] We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”

– Sir Karl Popper

The quote continues:

We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.

Karl Popper on Jewish nationalism and cosmopolitanism:

Popper’s ever present fear of anti-Semitism and his refusal to see Judaism as compatible with cosmopolitanism raise important questions as to the realisable limits of the cosmopolitan ideal. His inability to integrate an understanding of Jewishness in his cosmopolitan political ideal resulted in his strong opposition to Zionism and the state of Israel.

Popper’s The Open Society and Its Enemies inspired his student, George Soros. Popper saw “open society” as synonymous with “liberal democracy”.

Contrast jewish double-talk about principles with a quintessentially White attitude:

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

John Derbyshire cites Joe Sobran on jewish power in Be Nice, or We’ll Crush You by:

To your next point (I am working from the bottom up again) that my professed fear of ticking off Jews is some kind of affectation or pose, I can only assure you that this is not so. Almost the first thing you hear from old hands when you go into opinion journalism in the U.S. is, to put it in the precise form I first heard it: “Don’t f*ck with the Jews.” (Though I had better add here that I was mixing mainly with British expats at that point, and the comment came from one of them. More on this in a moment.)

Joe Sobran expressed it with his usual hyperbole: “You must only ever write of us as a passive, powerless, historically oppressed minority, struggling to maintain our ancient identity in a world where all the odds are against us, poor helpless us, poor persecuted and beleaguered us! Otherwise we will smash you to pieces.”

Jews have power and use it to punish those they perceive as enemies. This is what they call “promoting tolerance” and “combating hate”.

Morality and Identity

More along the same lines as the previous installments, Morals, Morality and Moralizing, and Universalism and Particularism. Part 3 of 2.

The essence of morality, as described by “Ben Tillman”:

Morality exists to further self-interest, specifically the self-interest of groups. It furthers group interests by mediating the conflicting self-interests of group members to allow the group to function as a cooperative unit.

If we don’t put our interests first, who will? How can we hope to survive?

Ben also urges us to read David Sloan Wilson.

Alongside professional jews Adam Gregerman and Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks we note Hillary Clinton’s jew-centric moralizing. See The Anti-White/Pro-Jew Regime’s Position on Genocide.

Compare and contrast with the weak, deracinated position Ann Coulter voices in DEMOCRATS’ IDEAL VOTER: ILLEGAL ALIEN, SINGLE MOTHER, CONVICTED FELON:

While conservatives have been formulating carefully constructed arguments, liberals have been playing a long-term game to change the demographics of America to get an electorate more to their liking.

They will do incalculable damage to the nation and to individual citizens, but Democrats will have an unbeatable majority. Just like California, the United States is on its way to becoming a Third World, one-party state.

There’s a strange asymmetry in how this matter can be discussed. Liberals and ethnic activists boast about how America would be better if it were more Latino, but no one else is allowed to say, “We like the ethnic mix as it is.”

That would be racist. By now no one even tries to disagree.

Sure enough, the next day Coulter was condemned by the crypto-jewish SPLC. Ann Coulter: Loss of White Majority ‘Destroyed’ California:

That attack-dog author Ann Coulter is not too bright — and that she is perfectly happy to slime any and all people she doesn’t like — is well known.

What’s not such common knowledge is that she is a racist.

Universalism and Particularism

In this installment I compare and contrast the morals, morality and moralizing of jews with Whites/Christians. The discussion is focused on two recently published articles in which jews use particularist moralizing, one-sidedly favoring jewish political interests, simultaneously seeking to exploit the universalist morality of Whites while trumping it.

The first article, written by Adam Gregerman, Jewish Scholar in Residence at the Institute for Christian & Jewish Studies in Baltimore, is part of a larger attempt by jews to dictate foreign policy regarding Israel to both the United States government and organized Christianity.

Gregerman’s article, Theology Fail in Christian Statement on Israel, Judaism, Palestine | (A)theologies | Religion Dispatches, published on 29 June 2012, is a critique of “A Call to Action: A U.S. Response to Kairos Palestine”, which Gregerman describes as “a Christian theological critique of the state of Israel and the Jewish religious beliefs that supposedly buttress its policies”.

Gregerman writes (emphasis added):

Most authors are from major Protestant denominations such as the Episcopal, Presbyterian, and United Methodist churches. These Christian traditions have, in a remarkable break with centuries of hateful teachings, opposed both Christian hostility toward Judaism and polemics about Jews’ unfaithfulness to God. They also endorse a two-state solution in the conflict.

In their advocacy for the Palestinian cause, however, the Kairos USA authors have rolled back the clock. In its critique of Israeli policies, the statement troublingly undermines these positive Christian views and takes a zero-sum attitude toward the conflict. Out of a reasonable desire to support the Palestinians, they jeopardize these remarkable interreligious gains by issuing one-sided indictments and by failing to honor Jewish religious and historical perspectives.

The authors’ explicitly religious argument only works in one direction: against Jews and Israel. It’s not criticism itself but this inconsistent application of religious standards that’s problematic.

But the contradictions don’t end there. Jews are also accused both of betraying the good (i.e., universalistic) demands of their own Bible … and of heeding its bad (i.e., particularistic) elements. The authors bemoan traditions in the Hebrew Bible that supposedly evince exclusivism and hostility to outsiders, such as the biblical promise of land that “elevate[s] one people or one race over another.” Likewise, what they call theologies “that privilege one nation with political entitlements to the exclusion of others,” … are to them also unacceptably particularistic. It is therefore wrong to prefer these parts of Scripture, and specifically to neglect universalistic themes about God’s love for all humanity.

In constructing a dichotomy between particularism and universalism, however, they also privilege some biblical themes over others.

Presenting his own one-sided arguments in favor of jews and Israel, Gregerman fails to honor Christian religious and historical perspectives. He blames universalist Christians for creating a conflict with particularist jews, misrepresenting both the source and nature of the conflict.

To illustrate the problems with Israeli policies, the authors gather historical examples of unprecedented brutality as parallels. These extreme examples not only foreclose constructive dialogue but in some cases sever Jews’ connections to their own history. For example, the authors look to antiquity, a time of tragic Jewish subjugation, when Jews suffered under “imperial rule” and faced threats to their “economic survival and physical health.”

Yet they then cast modern Jews as the ones now responsible for such actions. In a stark reversal, Jews are cast as foreign imperialists and persecutors, and Palestinians as persecuted Jews. Rather than simply critiquing Israel’s policies, some of which undoubtedly cause serious harm to Palestinians, the authors read Jews out of their own experiences. Using centuries of murderous oppression of Jews as a model for condemning Israel’s actions is highly disproportionate, as is invoking Jews’ suffering to then use it against them.

Some of the most dreadful acts in human history, including those in which Jews suffered terribly, are adduced as well: “the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition… genocides and ethnic cleansing.” In these events, the statement notes, people used Scripture to “elevate one people or one race over another,” and “to support conquest and oppression.” It then compares these horrors with Israeli policies, often in identical language.

This is the nut of Gregerman’s moralizing: these confused, uppity Christians have misunderstood the whole point of jews going on and on (as he does) about “jews’ suffering”. Jewish moralizing, both Gregerman’s and in general, is particularist. It is embedded in a narrative that takes “what’s good for the jews” for granted. The moral isn’t about suffering in general, and it certainly is not intended to be used in judging the thoughts or actions of jews themselves. Indeed, Gregerman implies that the real purpose of the constant guilt-tripping about “jews’ suffering” is to “foreclose constructive dialogue”.

The second article, written by Lord Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, is part of a larger attempt by jews to dictate domestic policy in Europe, in this instance concerning a recent court decision to restrict male circumcision in Germany.

Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks: Europe’s New Anti-Semitism, published on 07/11/2012 (emphasis added):

In May 2007 a small group of religious leaders met in the E.U. headquarters in Brussels with the three most significant leaders of Europe: Angela Merkel, German Chancellor and at the time president of the European Council; Jose-Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission; and Hans-Gert Pöttering, President of the European Parliament.

… Concerned at the return of anti-Semitism to Europe within living memory of the Holocaust, I decided that the time had come to break protocol and speak plainly, even bluntly.

I gave the shortest speech of my life. Sitting directly opposite the three leaders, I said this: “Jews and Europe go back a long way. The experience of Jews in Europe has added several words to the human vocabulary — words like expulsion, public disputation, forced conversion, inquisition, auto-da-fe, blood libel, ghetto and pogrom, without even mentioning the word Holocaust. That is the past. My concern is with the future. Today the Jews of Europe are asking whether there is a future for Jews in Europe, and that should concern you, the leaders of Europe.”

It took less than a minute, and after it there was a shocked silence. We adjourned for lunch, and over it Angela Merkel asked, “What would you like me to do, Chief Rabbi?” I did not have an easy answer for her then. I do now. It is: reverse immediately the decision of the Cologne court that renders Jewish parents who give their son a brit milah, even if performed in hospital by a qualified doctor, liable to prosecution.

It is a measure of jewish political power and influence that professional chauvinists like Sacks have such meetings, the whole purpose of which is to moralize to the supposed “leaders” of Europe about what’s best for jews. Sacks goes on to very clearly distinguish jews from Europeans. He cites a one-sided jewish view of history, describing what he sees as an inborn European imperative to persecute jews, making what is in effect a race-based libel against Europeans:

I have argued for some years that an assault on Jewish life always needs justification by the highest source of authority in the culture at any given age. Throughout the Middle Ages the highest authority in Europe was the Church. Hence anti-Semitism took the form of Christian anti-Judaism.

In the post-enlightenment Europe of the 19th century the highest authority was no longer the Church. Instead it was science. Thus was born racial anti-Semitism, based on two disciplines regarded as science in their day: the “scientific study of race” and the Social Darwinism of Herbert Spencer and Ernst Haeckel. Today we know that both of these were pseudo-sciences, but in their day they were endorsed by some of the leading figures of the age.

Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust, science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead, that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life — on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state — must be cast in the language of human rights. Hence the by-now routine accusation that Israel has committed the five cardinal sins against human rights: racism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, attempted genocide and crimes against humanity. This is not because the people making these accusations seriously believe them — some do, some don’t. It is because this is the only form in which an assault on Jews can be stated today.

Sacks’ is a particularist whose only concern is what’s best for jews. He deems jews exempt from the language and universalist moral authority of “human rights” that he himself uses against Europeans. He interprets this same moralizing, when aimed at jews, as “an assault on jews”, thus revealing his own guilty anti-European mind.

Sacks concludes by telling the German leader (and everyone reading his open letter to her) that in order for Germans to be morally good they must do what jews like himself think is best for jews:

The court’s judgment was tendentious, foolish and has set a dangerous precedent.

In historical context, however, it is far worse. By ruling that religious Jews performing their most ancient sacred ritual are abusing the rights of the child, a German court has just invented a new form of Blood Libel perfectly designed for the 21st century. Chancellor Merkel, the answer to your question, “What would you like me to do?” is simple. Ensure that this ruling is overturned, for the sake of religious freedom and the moral reputation of Germany.
