NPR corrects itself – to a point
(Mondoweiss) -- by Henry Norr --
Several updates from the National Public Radio front:
• Last week, just a day after I sent a complaint to Fresh Air and NPR ombudsman Alicia Shepard about the misleading account of the origins of the siege of Gaza presented by Terry Gross's guest Lawrence Wright, a correction of sorts appeared on the network's corrections page. As several commenters here predicted, the correction is minimal: "Our guest misstated the year of Hamas' election victory. The elections were held in January 2006, not June 2007." (Wright actually just said 2007 - it's not clear why the correction mentions June.)
What's not pointed out, of course, is the real problem with Wright's answer to Gross's question about how and why the blockade began: misdating the election helped him construct a false narrative that presents the siege as Israel's response to a steady stream of challenges from the Palestinians - most notably the capture of soldier Gilad Shalit - rather than collective punishment, beginning before the capture of Shalit, for Hamas's victory in an election universally deemed free and fair.
No one from Fresh Air replied to me directly, but Shepard passed along a response she got from Danny Miller, the program's co-executive producer, apparently after she passed along a copy of my message. In part, it said "we feel that the interview presented a balanced perspective from an informed journalist, who expressed his empathy for the difficulties faced by both the residents of Gaza and of Israel." I suppose that last sentence is Miller's response to my argument that Gaza expert Sara Roy or someone actually living under the siege would been a better source than a journalist who has spent three weeks in Gaza...MORE...LINK

Israel's self-inflicted losing streak culminating in tyrannical collective punishment of Gaza concentration camp
From:
Sinking Ship
The attack on the Gaza relief flotilla jeopardizes Israel itself.
(The American Conservative) -- by John J. Mearsheimer --
...The IDF last scored a clear-cut victory in the Six Day War in 1967; the record since then is a litany of unsuccessful campaigns. The War of Attrition (1969-70) was at best a draw, and Israel fell victim to one of the great surprise attacks in military history in the October War of 1973. In 1982, the IDF invaded Lebanon and ended up in a protracted and bloody fight with Hezbollah. Eighteen years later, Israel conceded defeat and pulled out of the Lebanese quagmire. Israel tried to quell the First Intifada by force in the late 1980s, with Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin telling his troops to break the bones of the Palestinian demonstrators. But that strategy failed and Israel was forced to join the Oslo Peace Process instead, which was another failed endeavor.
The IDF has not become more competent in recent years. By almost all accounts—including the Israeli government’s own commission of inquiry—it performed abysmally in the 2006 Lebanon war. The IDF then launched a new campaign against the people of Gaza in December 2008, in part to “restore Israel’s deterrence” but also to weaken or topple Hamas. Although the mighty IDF was free to pummel Gaza at will, Hamas survived and Israel was widely condemned for the destruction and killing it wrought on Gaza’s civilian population. Indeed, the Goldstone Report, written under UN auspices, accused Israel of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity. Earlier this year, the Mossad murdered a Hamas leader in Dubai, but the assassins were seen on multiple security cameras and were found to have used forged passports from Australia and a handful of European countries. The result was an embarrassing diplomatic row, with Australia, Ireland, and Britain each expelling an Israeli diplomat.
Israel’s recent debacles have also damaged its international reputation. Respondents to a 2010 worldwide opinion poll done for the BBC said that Israel, Iran, and Pakistan had the most negative influence in the world; even North Korea ranked better. More worrying for Israel is that its once close strategic relationship with Turkey has been badly damaged by the 2008-09 Gaza war and especially by the assault on the Mavi Marmara, a Turkish ship filled with Turkish nationals. But surely the most troubling development for Israel is the growing chorus of voices in the United States who say that Israel’s behavior is threatening American interests around the world, to include endangering its soldiers. If that sentiment grows, it could seriously harm Israel’s relationship with the United States.
Life as an Apartheid State
The flotilla tragedy highlights another way in which Israel is in deep trouble. Israel’s response makes it obvious that its leaders are not interested in allowing the Palestinians to have a viable state in Gaza and the West Bank, but instead are bent on creating a “Greater Israel” in which the Palestinians are confined to a handful of impoverished enclaves.
Israel insists that its blockade is solely intended to keep weapons out of Gaza. Hardly anyone would criticize Israel if this were true, but it is not. The real aim of the blockade is to punish the people of Gaza for supporting Hamas and resisting Israel’s efforts to maintain Gaza as a giant open-air prison. Of course, there was much evidence that this was the case before the debacle on the Mavi Marmara. When the blockade began in 2006, Dov Weisglass, a close aide to Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert, said, “The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger.” And the Gaza onslaught 18 months ago was designed to punish the Gazans, not enforce a weapons embargo. The ships in the flotilla were transporting humanitarian aid, not weapons for Hamas, and Israel’s willingness to use deadly force to prevent a humanitarian aid convoy from reaching Gaza makes it abundantly clear that Israel wants to humiliate and subdue the Palestinians, not live side-by-side with them in separate states.
Collective punishment of the Palestinians in Gaza is unlikely to end anytime soon. Israel’s leaders have shown little interest in lifting the blockade or negotiating sincerely. The sad truth is that Israel has been brutalizing the Palestinians for so long that it is almost impossible to break the habit. It is hardly surprising that Jimmy Carter said last year, “the citizens of Palestine are treated more like animals than human beings.” They are, and they will be for the foreseeable future...MORE...LINK

Jewish nationalists and Mexican nationalists criticize Arizona immigration law that is far less draconian than their own
From:
Mexico and Israel Lobby should examine their own immigration policies before condemning Arizona
(LA Nonpartisan Examiner) -- by Robert Stark --
The Anti-Defamation League and the Government of Mexico have filed separate lawsuits against the State of Arizona over it's new immigration law which will take affect July 29. Lawyers representing Mexico filled a brief supporting the law suit which was brought of by the ACLU which they are taking to Federal Court claiming that the law violates the US Constitution. The document put out by the Government of Mexico states that the law threatens "the human and civil rights of its citizens when they are present in Arizona." Mexican President Felipe Calderon has condemned the bill stating it "opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement."
While the Government of Mexico is outraged about Arizona its own immigration laws are far harsher than Arizona's. While Arizona's calls for the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants under Mexican Law entering the country illegally is punishable by up to two years in prison and an attempted re-entry by up to 10 years. Those who violate their visas can be sentenced to up to six years and the government of Mexico has the authority to arrest foreigners whom it deems as a threat to its national and economic interest.
Several Congressman have taken up Mexico's Government on its blatant hypocrisy. Referring to Mexico's President's opposition of the Arizona Bill Rep. Steve King of Iowa said "why would Mr. Calderon have any objections to an Arizona law that is less draconian than his own, one he has pledged to enforce?" Rep. Ted Poe of Texas stated in a speech on the House Floor titled "Is President Calderon Hypocritical" that "Mexico has long been doing the job of illegal alien deportation, and it seems to me it's hypocritical of Mexico and President Calderon to criticize the United States or Arizona for enforcing our illegal immigration laws. They are far less severe than Mexico's illegal immigration laws. So when President Calderon comes here tomorrow to complain about America and America's illegal immigration policy, perhaps Calderon would prefer America adopt Mexico's immigration policies."
While the Nation of Israel has not interfered with Arizona immigration stance many of major organization that represent Israel's interest in the United States such as the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, and Simon Wiesenthal Center have also joined Mexico in denouncing the bill. The ADL has gone as far to file a lawsuit against Arizona.
In a joint statement ADL Arizona's regional chair Miriam Weisman and regional director Bill Straus stated "rather than making Arizona more secure, we believe this law will have the opposite effect. Fear of heightened law enforcement scrutiny about immigration status will deter victims and witnesses from coming forward and cooperating with the police, making it significantly more difficult for police to do their jobs. We understand that secure borders are a legitimate concern, but SB 1070 does not effectively address that concern. Rather, this bill drives a wedge between the Latino community - whose members are frequent targets of bias-motivated violence - and those local law enforcement agencies entrusted with protecting them. The bill is a manifestation of anger and frustration, fueled by exaggerated fears of violence and passed against a backdrop of increasing xenophobia. It is ill-conceived, misguided, and should not be implemented.
Much like Mexico Israel also has taken a harsh stance in regards to illegal immigration. In an article titled "Focus U.S.A. / Reminders of Israel in the Arizona immigration debate" in the Israeli Newspaper Haaretz Natasha Mozgovaya states that "As the debate stirred by the new Arizona immigration law remains heated, it's hard for those who remember the years of the "hunt" for foreign workers at the Old Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv not to see the similarity." She points out that "In the U.S., some representatives of the Jewish community have plunged vigorously into the current debate." She mentions that The Anti-Defamation League's Abraham Foxman told Haaretz: "Well, in terms of size and dimension Israel is nowhere near the U.S." She responds that In the United States, there are about 11 million illegal immigrants. Some communities are much better organized than the foreign workers in Israel, and the immigration policy based upon the law of return doesn't provide Israel much space or willingness to absorb them legally."
On a similar note Assaf Oron points out in an article titled "Israel has been ‘Arizona' all along" that "In Israel, laws like the Arizona one - and worse - have been in effect ever since independence. No, I'm not talking about the Occupation, but inside Israel proper. Any resident sixteen years of age or older must at all times carry an Identity card, and present it upon demand to a senior police officer, head of Municipal or Regional Authority, or a policeman or member of the Armed forces on duty. And guess against which ethnic group this requirement is enforced."...MORE...LINK

Now that organized Jewry and Judeo-supremacy have taken over the American establishment, suddenly "religion doesn't matter anymore"
From:
Religion doesn’t matter any more,
(Mondoweiss) -- by Philip Weiss --
Noah Feldman of Harvard Law School says in a piece in the NYT pointing out that Elena Kagan will make it three Jews on the Supreme Court, and no Protestants. It's easy for him to say, he's a winner. Also, Feldman served in the Coalition Provisional Authority in the Iraq war and occupation. Was Zionism, which has a religious component, a factor in support for the Iraq war among Jews manning the establishment?
By the way, Feldman doesn't credit E. Digby Baltzell with helping to open the blueblood doors in the '60s. His book the Protestant Establishment was very important, though; it said that a caste of WASPs was keeping out the talented, including many Jews. The honest question that Feldman won't go near here is whether the networks that I was part of at Harvard in the 70s, the rising Jewish establishment that lifted him too, didn't have a castelike quality. Certainly we looked out for one another. Is it mere coincidence that Lawrence Summers, a Jew, taps Elena Kagan to be dean of the Law School? What is our Jewish obligation, as winners, to hire diversely? (And yes, I include myself)...MORE...LINK

U.S. establishment mainstream media is actually "Jeffrey Goldberg media" (i.e. Israel-first, Judeo-supremacist, and Zionist)
From:
The Jeffrey Goldberg Media
(Salon.com) -- By Glenn Greenwald --
In a stunning display of self-unawareness, The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg pointed to last week's forced "resignation" by Dave Weigel from The Washington Post as evidence that the Post, "in its general desperation for page views, now hires people who came up in journalism without much adult supervision, and without the proper amount of toilet-training." Goldberg then solemnly expressed hope that "this episode will lead to the reimposition of some level of standards." Numerous commentators immediately noted the supreme and obvious irony that Goldberg, of all people, would anoint himself condescending arbiter of journalistic standards, given that, as one of the leading media cheerleaders for the attack on Iraq, he compiled a record of humiliating falsehood-dissemination in the run-up to the war that rivaled Judy Miller's both in terms of recklessness and destructive impact.
Except unlike Miller, who was forced to leave the New York Times over what she did, and the NYT itself, which at least acknowledged some of the shoddy pro-war propaganda it churned out, Goldberg has never acknowledged his journalistic errors, expressed remorse for them, or paid any price at all. To the contrary, as is true for most Iraq war propagandists, he thrived despite as a result of his sorry record in service of the war. In 2007, David Bradley -- the owner of The Atlantic and (in his own words) formerly "a neocon guy" who was "dead certain about the rightness" of invading Iraq -- lavished Goldberg with money and gifts, including ponies for Goldberg's children, in order to lure him away from The New Yorker, where he had churned out most of his pre-war trash.
One of his most obscenely false and damaging articles -- this 2002 museum of deceitful, hideous journalism, "reporting" on Saddam's "possible ties to Al Qaeda" -- actually won an Oversea's Press Award for -- get this -- "best international reporting in a print medium dealing with human rights." Goldberg, whose devotion to Israel is so extreme that he served in the IDF as a prison guard over Palestinians and was described last year as "Netanyahu's faithful stenographer" by The New York Times' Roger Cohen, wrote an even more falsehood-filled 2002 New Yorker article, warning that Hezbollah was planning a master, Legion-of-Doom alliance with Saddam Hussein for a "larger war," and that "[b]oth Israel and the United States believe that, at the outset of an American campaign against Saddam, Iraq will fire missiles at Israel -- perhaps with chemical or biological payloads -- in order to provoke an Israeli conventional, or even nuclear, response," though -- Goldberg sternly warned -- "Hezbollah, which is better situated than Iraq to do damage to Israel, might do Saddam’s work itself" and "its state sponsors, Iran and Syria, maintain extensive biological- and chemical-weapons programs." That fantastical, war-fueling screed -- aimed at scaring Americans into targeting the full panoply of Israel's enemies -- actually won a National Magazine Award in 2003. Given how completely discredited those articles are, those are awards which any person with an iota of shame would renounce and apologize for, but Goldberg continues to proudly tout them on his bio page at The Atlantic.
Despite all of those war-cheerleading deceits -- or, again, because of them -- Goldberg continues to be held out by America's most establishment outlets as a preeminent expert in the region. As Jonathan Schwarz documents, Goldberg is indeed very well-"trained" in the sense that establishment journalists mean that term: i.e., as an obedient dog who spouts establishment-serving falsehoods. That's why Goldberg is worth examining: he's so representative of the American media because the more discredited his journalism becomes, the more blatant propaganda he spews, the more he thrives in our media culture. That's why it's not hyperbole to observe that we are plagued by a Jeffrey Goldberg Media; he's not an aberration but one of its most typical and illustrative members...MORE...LINK

Sect of "libertarian" Jews has a vicious authoritarian streak
Ayn Rand's Curious Bloodlust
or All Non-Objectivists Must Be Crushed!
(Alternative Right) -- by Richard Hoste --
On October 2, 2001, less than a month after the collapse of the Twin Towers, the Ayn Rand Center took out a full page ad in the New York Times with the title “End States Who Sponsor Terrorism.” Written by the organization’s director Leonard Peikoff, the page referred to “the notion that a terrorist is alone responsible for his actions” as a “guarantee of American impotence” in dealing with radical Muslims. The author seconds Paul Wolfowitz’s view that the American government must overthrow regimes that support terrorism making sure that such battles are “fought in a manner that secures victory as quickly as possible and with the fewest U.S. casualties, regardless of the countless innocents caught in the line of fire.” The death of civilians can be laid at the feet of their terror loving governments, for “[t]here is no way for our bullets to be aimed only at evil men.”
Peikoff suggests that while taking out the Taliban would be a good start, Afghanistan is, in the big picture, insignificant. The Iranian government is the most fanatical in the Middle East and must be dealt with. Even though in the long run this is a battle of ideas against an implacable foe, as of now the American military must use everything in its arsenal to destroy the nation’s enemies.
Unsurprisingly, the face that the ARC presents to those visiting its website makes what it published in the Times appear pacific. A page entitled “In Moral Defense of Israel” informs the reader that although the Jewish state isn’t perfect, it, like the US, “retains a significant respect for individual rights. Its citizens, whatever their race or religion, enjoy many freedoms, including freedom of thought and speech, and the right to own property.” Therefore, “Israel has a moral right to exist” in contrast to the absolute collectivists which oppose her.
In no sense can one say that the center the bears her name has perverted Ayn Rand’s message. When asked about what the U.S. should do with regards to the 1967 Israeli-Arab war, she called on the Americans to do what they could to help the Jewish side. Her main reason, she admited, for supporting Israel was that the Arabs are “typically nomads” (unlike the Jews!) and “savages who don't want to use their minds.” Rand wasn’t making a special exception to her philosophy when it came to Israel. She always held that if there was an aggressive country which made war on another, the people who live under the belligerent state are responsible for their passivity if nothing else. In the Cold War context she once pontificated,
Most familiar with the philosophy of Objectivism, a body of thought based on the axiom that coercion is unacceptable unless person or property is directly threatened or one is retaliating for past crimes, will find this pro-war position strange.
Of the major contemporary political philosophies, this basic premise, which refuses to exempt states from the principle of non-aggression, is shared only by various kinds of libertarians. Yet on foreign policy, these anti-statists couldn’t be further away from Objectivists...MORE...LINK

Chris Moore comments:
Ron Paul is generally considered to be the Gold Standard of libertarianism, yet when it comes to foreign policy, he has zero in common with these so-called “libertarians.”
It appears this is yet another Jewish supremacist sect using libertarianism as cover for its true ideology, similar to how the Jewish Bolsheviks used Communism.

Even though in the long run this is a battle of ideas against an implacable foe, as of now the American military must use everything in its arsenal to destroy the nation’s enemies.
Unsurprisingly, the face that the ARC presents to those visiting its website makes what it published in the Times appear pacific. A page entitled “In Moral Defense of Israel” informs the reader that although the Jewish state isn’t perfect, it, like the US, “retains a significant respect for individual rights. Its citizens, whatever their race or religion, enjoy many freedoms, including freedom of thought and speech, and the right to own property.” Therefore, “Israel has a moral right to exist” in contrast to the absolute collectivists which oppose her.
In no sense can one say that the center the bears her name has perverted Ayn Rand’s message. When asked about what the U.S. should do with regards to the 1967 Israeli-Arab war, she called on the Americans to do what they could to help the Jewish side. Her main reason, she admited, for supporting Israel was that the Arabs are “typically nomads” (unlike the Jews!) and “savages who don't want to use their minds.” Rand wasn’t making a special exception to her philosophy when it came to Israel. She always held that if there was an aggressive country which made war on another, the people who live under the belligerent state are responsible for their passivity if nothing else. In the Cold War context she once pontificated,
If we go to war with Russia, I hope the "innocent" are destroyed along with the guilty. There aren't many innocent people there -- those who do exist are not in the big cities, but mainly in concentration camps.Unsurprisingly, the ARC believes that America should be proud of its firebombing of German and Japanese cities during World War II. Recently, a representative from the institute was on the Glenn Beck Show decrying the current rules of engagement American soldiers operate under.
Most familiar with the philosophy of Objectivism, a body of thought based on the axiom that coercion is unacceptable unless person or property is directly threatened or one is retaliating for past crimes, will find this pro-war position strange.
Of the major contemporary political philosophies, this basic premise, which refuses to exempt states from the principle of non-aggression, is shared only by various kinds of libertarians. Yet on foreign policy, these anti-statists couldn’t be further away from Objectivists...MORE...LINK

Chris Moore comments:
Ron Paul is generally considered to be the Gold Standard of libertarianism, yet when it comes to foreign policy, he has zero in common with these so-called “libertarians.”
It appears this is yet another Jewish supremacist sect using libertarianism as cover for its true ideology, similar to how the Jewish Bolsheviks used Communism.

‘NYT’ story on anti-Zionists says their ‘dual loyalty’ prophecy has come to pass
(Mondoweiss) -- by Philip Weiss --
This piece on the renewal of American anti-Zionism, by Samuel G. Freedman in the Religion column of the New York Times, includes the usual disclaimer, and some religious hokey-pokey too, but it is fair and important. I wonder if Freedman is not secretly sickened by the news from Jaffa Road.
Freedman quotes Steve Naman and Allen Brownfeld of the American Council for Judaism--that lion of Judaism during the Partition era. The most exciting paragraph in the story is this one:

My sense is that they believe that events are proving they were right all along,” Jonathan D. Sarna, a historian at Brandeis University and author of the seminal book “American Judaism,” said [of the anti-Zionists] in a telephone interview. “Everything they prophesied — dual loyalty, nationalism being evil — has come to pass.”What does this mean? It means the accusations re the Iraq war as a war for Israel's security have traction even in conventional thinking; it means that Eric Alterman's admission of dual loyalty, and Alterman's calling out Ruth Wisse for demanding dual loyalty of American Jewish youth, and John Judis's accusation of the prevalence of dual loyalty in the U.S. Jewish leadership, and Jeffrey Goldberg's coy equivocations around it, and Robert Kraft's wife Myra's blurting that she wants her sons to fight for Israel not the U.S. (Kraft is a big contributor to Freedman's school, Columbia), and Elliott Abrams's statement that Jews must stand apart in whatever country they live in except Israel, Abrams who worked in the White House as he believed this-- these statements have had an effect, they are undismissible. Now, when the Iraq war is well behind us. (Oh and yes a lot of non-Jews said this too, but got railroaded). I always said that one day the Center for Jewish History would have a debate about the Jewish contribution to the Iraq war disaster on its stage, which Freedman has spoken on. That day hastens...LINK

Punishing Turkey

Does anyone remember the movie The Boys from Brazil? It told the story of how a group of top Nazis had moved to Brazil where they made a number of clones of Hitler-as-a-child that were being strategically placed around the world to eventually bring about a Fourth Reich. The movie ended ambiguously, with many of the Hitler children still alive and evidently expected to eventually turn into Hitler adults. The movie makers were clearly on to something because there have been a lot of Hitler sightings by Israel and its friends over the past few years. Saddam Hussein was described as a new Hitler while Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been depicted in even more heinous terms as a reborn Nazi leader preparing a new Holocaust. More recently Israel demonstrators have displayed effigies of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan with the hairline altered and a moustache added to create a caricature of Hitler.
The Turkish prime minister’s Hitler-like leanings first appeared when he dared confront Israel’s President Shimon Peres at an international meeting in Davos in January 2009. Referring to the slaughter of Gazan civilians earlier that month, Erdogan told Peres "…you know well how to kill." But if there was any lingering doubt, Erdogan definitely became Hitler through his support of the flotilla that sought to bring aid to Gaza three weeks ago followed by his denunciation of the massacre initiated by Israeli commandos. His diabolical intent was made manifest when he then demanded justice for the nine Turkish citizens who were murdered. Hitlerization is the price one inevitably pays for criticizing Israel or opposing its policies.
Whenever Israel discovers that yet another foreign nation has turned Nazi and is intent on recreating the Holocaust, the American lap dog soon picks up the scent. Andrew Sullivan has recently described the phenomenon as "Israel Derangement Syndrome," which he describes as a "…form of derangement, or of such a passionate commitment to a foreign country that any and all normal moral rules or even basic fairness are jettisoned. And you will notice one thing as well: no regret whatsoever for the loss of human life, just as the hideous murder of so many civilians in the Gaza war had to be the responsibility of the victims, not the attackers. There is no sense of the human here; just the tribe."
The Gaza flotilla has been handled by the mainstream media in precisely that fashion – blaming the victim with a unanimity that overwhelms both justice and fairness. No humanity, no mention of the deliberate attempt to starve Gaza most recently endorsed by alleged United States Senator from New York Charles Schumer who said "strangle them economically." Or, if one prefers the wisdom of Representative Eliot Engel, also from New York, the flotilla was "filled with hate-filled provocateurs bent on violence." Confronted by such hatred it is surprising that the Israeli commandos were so restrained, killing only nine passengers and wounding about forty more.
As the popular narrative in the media has unfolded, Turkey was the aggressor and Israel yet again the victim. Turkey now has to be punished. Congress is already considering passing the frequently shelved Armenian Genocide resolution and Representative Mike Spence warns "There will be a cost if Turkey stays on its present heading of growing closer to Iran and more antagonistic to the State of Israel."

Jewish Zionist New York Times glorifies Jewish Zionist terrorism in Levant as "romantic"
From:
New York Times reporter calls Zionist terrorism ‘romantic’
(The Raw Story) -- by Daniel Tencer --
A little-noticed comment in a New York Times interview with Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni has critics arguing that it shows the media has a "double standard" when it comes to terrorism.
In an interview published Tuesday, Livni, the leader of Israel's centrist Kadima party, boasted that her parents, both members of the Zionist militant group Irgun in the 1940s, were the first couple to be married in the newly-formed state of Israel.
"Both of them were in the Irgun," Livni said. "They were freedom fighters, and they met while boarding a British train. When the British Mandate was here, they robbed a train to get the money in order to buy weapons."
To which New York Times reporter Deborah Solomon responded: "It was a more romantic era."
"I've met interviewer Deborah Solomon -- smart lady," writes Philip Weiss, who brought attention to the comment on his blog. "I wonder whether she was inoculated, as I was, by Zionism, and to what degree. This is typically one-sided."
Weiss points out that Irgun, which was fighting for the creation of a Jewish state, was responsible for the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946. That attack killed 91 people, including US and British nationals, and is believed to remain to this day as the most deadly militant attack in the history of the conflict between Israel and its neighbors.
Irgun's membership was absorbed into the Israeli Defence Force after the creation of Israel. Its political arm is a predecessor to today's Likud party, whose leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, is prime minister of Israel.
Matt Duss at ThinkProgress goes even further than Weiss in his criticism of the Times' portrayal of Irgun.
"What’s amazing here is not only does Solomon neglect to challenge Livni’s characterization of her parents’ membership in a terrorist group as 'freedom fight[ing],' Solomon herself volunteers further assistance in the whitewash," he opines.
Duss points out that, at the time of Irgun's attacks, the Times itself referred to the group's activities as "terrorism."
"Can you imagine any mainstream American journalist performing this service in regard to Hamas terrorism? I doubt it," Duss writes...LINK

Re Kevin MacDonald: Some thoughts on Richard Wrangham
Why is Whites organizing as Whites on behalf of White interests taboo? From an individualist perspective, I personally find it as distasteful as Jews, Blacks and Hispanics doing likewise, but I don’t blame Whites who do, particularly in America where the few that are doing so are responding in kind to ethnic tribalism in order to protect their own lives and interests.
The reason it is taboo in in the West is because the Left has characterized White colonialism and Nazism simultaneously as White nationalists movements and as the ultimate evil in world history, when in fact Nazism was merely the antithesis of Jewish Bolshevism, which exterminated millions based on race (under the guise of class) and religion (implicitly anti-Christian) before the Nazis ever did. And colonialism was not carried out by average Whites, but rather by hyper-ambitious elites on behalf of their own wealth, vanity and glory, and at the expense of average Whites (studies have shown that colonialism incurred net losses for the taxpayers in countries that carried it out).
With this in mind, I would conclude that these hyper-ambitious, bloodless elites of all races who are today imposing this political and cultural regiment of globalization and its attendant political correctness (many of whom are getting rich doing so) are ethically and morally far closer to the elitist colonialists they profess to loathe than are the average Whites whom they seek to straw man in advance of their own bank accounts and careers.
Average Whites are essentially being framed for the sins committed by a bloodless elite by a neo-bloodless elite, who are then carrying on in public about how “evil” the Whites they’ve framed are. Can there be any creature or group more disgusting and loathsome than one that would undertake such a deed?
-----
dc [in article comments]: "people here, especially I think Americans, talk endlessly about the dreadful “liberals” and the evils of “liberalism”, and I for one have no idea what they mean...Surely the word is simply a near synonym for ‘generous’"
Contemporary Western liberalism has nothing in common with the classical liberalism of more than a few of America's founders, nor anything to do with generosity (it's not "generous" to shakedown taxpayers to support massive social-engineering projects and monolithic super-states that have to support themselves at the point of a warmongering, hegemonic gun). Contemporary Statist-centered left-liberalism, which is a synthesis of Communism and, say, FDR's "liberalism" (which was in bed with corrupt Jews and Wall Street banksters even back then) can be referred to shorthand as neoliberalism, which itself is a kissing cousin of the neoconservatism fancied by GW Bush and much of the mainstream GOP.
Both of these are largely manifestations of Jewish thought and ethics, and are thus inherently elitist, anti-(average) White, anti-Christian, anti-Western, and ultimately murderously misanthropic. (And contemporary left-liberals still affect to be "searching" for what all the screaming is about; can there be a more phony and studiously superficial species on earth?)
Re THE COMING JEWISH LOCK-DOWN OF THE INTERNET
The Judeofascists are such transparently insane egomaniacs and pharisaic control freaks, I have no idea how anyone could ever believe they would ever respect, or even consider abiding by the tenets of democracy like proportionate representation, free speech, equal rights and liberty for all.
Yet even as they strangle free speech and liberty in America, they portray the Judeofascist War on Terror as a battle for human rights, freedom and democracy in the Middle East.
Their hypocrisy and inherently contradictory, schizophrenic nature and policy is so intense and contrary to sanity and good conscience, it’s a wonder they can even function, let alone seize power.
The fact that they can withstand the self-disgust and loathing that any normal person engaged in that kind of behavior would feel tells me there is something profoundly psychologically defective about them. I suspect that most of them are indeed sociopaths.

An ethnic Jew shares the plight of her escape from the cult of Jewish supremacism

A LETTER FROM A RECOVERING JEW
As Sent To Brother Nathanael Kapner
(Real Zionist News) --
DEAR BROTHER NATHANAEL — Thank you for your Website. I have learned much from it and it has changed my life. I want to tell you my story.
I grew up as a Jew in New York and was raised from early childhood to be a Zionist. Although I received no strong religious training as you did, most Jews are conditioned in the very same way as me.
I learned that Jews were special and different, and were not to mix with Gentiles. My family made me fearful of non-Jews. I spent six years going to a summer camp with all Jewish children. Every year, each summer, being with only Jews, is a form of Jewish-elitist indoctrination to young impressionable minds.
My parents would ask me constantly, “Is that person Jewish?” whenever I made a new friend, or had a new teacher, or, later in life, co-workers or partners or bosses. The message was the same: Stick with Jews - only trust the Jews. My grandfather threatened to cut me out of his will when I dated a Christian boy at age 16.
And yet my experience was that Jews themselves were not trustworthy! Many Jews hold grudges and cut you off for the slightest infraction. I didn’t experience or see much forgiveness among Jews. If I couldn’t trust Gentiles, and couldn’t trust Jews, where did that leave me? Alone much of the time, not trusting anyone.
There also was no beneficent Higher Power to love and forgive me. While there were a few vague references to some sort of God, I didn’t grow up with a Higher Power in my life, certainly not a loving God like Jesus. Our “god” was the “Jewish people” and the “state of Israel” which we must never fail in our loyalty to.
Most damaging of all was that I learned to distrust Jesus, to be afraid of him and see him as the boogey man. I was programmed to never, ever set foot in a Church. God forbid I practiced Christianity or loved Jesus! All of this was considered blasphemous. As a loyal daughter, I obeyed.
This, to me, is the greatest tragedy — that young Jews are brainwashed to stay away from Jesus Christ. We are guilt-tripped and threatened with a sort of ex-communication should we stray. What kind of religion has to use fear and punishment to keep its members in the tribe?
I have been stunned to read on your Website how Jews influenced some of the most egregious of historical events. I had no idea that Jews were important players in the Russian Revolution. It floored me to discover that there was a reason behind Hitler’s blind hatred of the Jews: The Jews’ corruption of Germany and their attempts to destroy that Christian nation. Jews have always been portrayed as innocent victims of anti-Semitism.
Brother, you have written in great detail about how the Jews have now corrupted this country. You’ve explained how Jews are in control of the media, law, entertainment, etc. Obama has historically high numbers of Jews within his administration.
Not only have Jews taken over the reigns of power, but they have changed the personality of this country from a Christian to a Jewish one. Jewish-type character traits permeate the entire society: There’s now the obsession with self, with consumerism, and with saving money — bargain hunting being a nationwide craze. This cheapness has helped drive businesses to sweatshops overseas.
We have the worship of pleasure and sex, pornography and trashy movies, and abortion on demand. Watch the disgusting reality shows and observe people being humiliated and degraded. Anyone growing up in a Jewish family knows what it’s like to be subject to searing criticism and shaming, which often substitutes for true affection.
Christianity is being trashed, and more and more people are becoming atheists. Look at most of the atheist organizations and notice that they are run by Jews. It breaks my heart to see what my ethnicity has done throughout history and is doing right now to this country. I’ve asked myself, why?
I think it started thousands of years ago when Jews rejected Jesus Christ, who was a beacon of Light in the world. Jesus brought a new way of thinking and behaving but the Jews were too obstinate and arrogant to accept him. Most still are.
And now Jews are doing what their ancestors did back then — trying to destroy anything or anyone having to do with Christ. It’s partly, I think, because Jews are too stubborn to admit they were wrong (another notoriously Jewish trait). Of course, it’s hard to admit you’re wrong when you have no loving Jesus to forgive you...MORE...LINK

Jewish rackets have been inventing myths to justify their infiltration, subversion and chicanery since the Book of Esther
From:
Connecting the Zionist Dots
(gilad.co.uk) -- by Gilad Atzmon --
A few weeks ago the Jewish Chronicle published a list of Jewish MPs in the UK parliament. It named 24 in total, encompassing 12 Conservatives, 10 Labour, and two Liberal Democrats. Author and peace activist Stuart Littlewood elaborated on these figures and presented the following analysis:
“The Jewish population in the UK is 280,000 or 0.46 per cent. There are 650 seats in the House of Commons so, as a proportion, Jewish entitlement is only three seats. The conclusion is pretty obvious. With 24 seats, Jews are eight times over-represented. Which means, of course, that other groups must be under-represented, including Muslims…If Muslims, for instance, were over-represented to the same extent as the Jews (i.e. eight times) they’d have 200 seats. All hell would break loose.”
A question must be raised here. Why are Jews overwhelmingly over-represented in the British parliament, in British and American political pressure groups, in political fundraising and in the media?
Haim Saban, the Israeli-American, multibillionaire media mogul offers the answer. The New Yorker reported this week that at a conference last fall, Saban described his pro-Israeli formula, outlining “three ways to be influential in American politics…make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.”
As I have mentioned many times before, there is no such a thing as Jewish conspiracy. It is all done in the open. In front of TV cameras from all over the world, listed Israeli Propaganda Author as well as British Foreign Secretary David Miliband gave the Israelis a green light to operation Cast Lead, suggesting in Sderot that “Israel should, above all, seek to protect its own citizens.” Miliband, in practice, made us all complicit in a colossal war crime committed by Israel. Staunch Zionist Lord Levy funded the Labour party when this party launched a criminal war that intended to erase the last pocket of Arabic resistance to Zionism. He also wasn’t at all shy about it. In the media, shameless Jewish Chronicle writers David Aaronovitch and Nick Cohen enthusiastically advocated the same criminal war in the name of ‘moral interventionism’. Nick Cohen also founded the Euston Manifesto ‘think tank’ to support dubious Neocon ideologies on this side of the pond.
Levy, Cohen, Aaronovitch, Miliband are all in line with Saban’s formula: influence, donations, think tanks, media. Yet they don’t necessarily know Saban, and may never even have heard about the Zionist media mogul. It isn’t necessary. The fact is, Saban didn’t invent anything himself. His formula is deeply brewed in the Judaic religious tradition, Jewish culture and ideology...
United Against Purim
The Book of Esther is a biblical story that is the basis for the celebration of Purim, the most joyous Jewish festival. The book tells the story of an attempted Judeocide, but it also tells a story in which Jews manage to change their fate by means of political influence. In the story, the Jews do manage to rescue themselves and even to mete revenge, all through an infiltration into the corridors of power...
However, here is the interesting twist. Although the story is presented as an historic tale, the historical accuracy of the Book of Esther is largely disputed by most modern Bible acholars and historians. The lack of any clear corroboration of between any of the details of the story with what is known of Persian History from classical sources is what has led scholars to come to the conclusion that the story is mostly, or even totally fictional.
In other words, though the Jewish moral is clear, the attempted genocide is fictional. Seemingly, the Book of Esther sets its (Jewish) followers into a collective Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It transforms a fictional fantasy of ‘destruction’ into a vivid ‘ideology of survival’. And indeed, some read the story as an allegory of quintessentially assimilated Jews who discover that they are targets of anti-Semitism, but are also in a position to save themselves and their fellow Jews.
The Book of Esther exists to form a coherent exilic tribal identity. It is there to plant an existential stress. It introduces the Holocaust mentality. Furthermore, it fixes the conditions which turn the Holocaust into reality. In hermeneutic terms, the text shapes the reality. In practice, it is the fearful mind the sets itself into a tragic trap of self-fulfilling prophecy. The Shoa ideology matures into a real event.
Interestingly enough, the Book of Esther (in the Hebrew version) is one of only two books of the Bible that do not directly mention God (the other is Song of Songs). As in the case of Zionist secular ideology and the Holocaust religion, in the Book of Esther it is the Jews who believe in themselves, in their own power, in their uniqueness, in their sophistication, in their ability to influence, in their ability to take over kingdoms, and in their ability to save themselves. The Book of Esther is all about empowerment. It conveys the essence and metaphysics of Jewish power, as described by Haim Saban and performed by AIPAC...MORE...LINK
Connecting the Zionist Dots
(gilad.co.uk) -- by Gilad Atzmon --
A few weeks ago the Jewish Chronicle published a list of Jewish MPs in the UK parliament. It named 24 in total, encompassing 12 Conservatives, 10 Labour, and two Liberal Democrats. Author and peace activist Stuart Littlewood elaborated on these figures and presented the following analysis:
“The Jewish population in the UK is 280,000 or 0.46 per cent. There are 650 seats in the House of Commons so, as a proportion, Jewish entitlement is only three seats. The conclusion is pretty obvious. With 24 seats, Jews are eight times over-represented. Which means, of course, that other groups must be under-represented, including Muslims…If Muslims, for instance, were over-represented to the same extent as the Jews (i.e. eight times) they’d have 200 seats. All hell would break loose.”
A question must be raised here. Why are Jews overwhelmingly over-represented in the British parliament, in British and American political pressure groups, in political fundraising and in the media?
Haim Saban, the Israeli-American, multibillionaire media mogul offers the answer. The New Yorker reported this week that at a conference last fall, Saban described his pro-Israeli formula, outlining “three ways to be influential in American politics…make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.”
As I have mentioned many times before, there is no such a thing as Jewish conspiracy. It is all done in the open.

Musings: 6/24/10
Re McChrystal Bashes Obama & His Zionist Shills:
The U.S. Military has been put in an impossible position by corrupt, Zionist-occupied Washington.
They are expected to re-engineer an entire civilization to accept the unacceptable: Jewish supremacism.
This imposition was attempted on Western Civilization as well, and look at us now: a demoralized, confused, disillusioned money-worshipping and government-worshipping polyglot that is drowning in its own corruption and toxic filth.
Judaism was never meant to be for the masses, yet the Judeos (and I include the bastardized Judeo-Christian Zionists in this Satanic amalgamation) are hell-bent on making it the golden calf of the world, to be worshipped (by force, if necessary) by all.
Of course, the Muslims have their own opinions about all of this, and unlike the post-Christian West, have the will to resist.
All of which means either the post-Christian West will have to regain its Christian will, or it will continue to drown in Judeo-toxins until final collapse, at which point anything goes.
And all because the post-Christian West didn’t want to confront the Judeofascist problem, and instead celebrate it.
What pathetic animals…nay, even animals don’t pollute their own nests.
Re Kevin MacDonald: Chimpanzees don’t believe in open borders:
The left loves their “back to nature,” and “nature inspired harmony” theses, but the truth of nature is that it’s a ruthless, survival of the fittest meat grinder.
On the other hand, is that how humans really want to live? Pax Christiana, for example, taught us that that’s not how we necessarily have to live if we do things right.
One of the best arguments against organized Jewry is that it’s reducing us all to an animal state — which is one reason Western Christendom has historically been so ruthless against organized Jewry and its ilk. I vote we get ruthless with them again, starting with the Israel lobby, BP and the entire corrupt Big Government-Big Business Washington complex, because they are all literally now drowning us in their toxins.
Re Ted Sallis: Another Jewish Genetics Paper:
“[...] long term preservation of Jewish EGI requires Jews to drop their historical grudges against the West and to move away from fears of “white goy persecutors” and instead attempt to make a deal with Europeans that would safeguard the existence of both peoples”
To a certain extent, I think that’s what the neocons are all about, but like the proverbial scorpion who can’t help but sting the proverbial frog providing him safe passage across the river, criminal Jewry can’t help but to attack their benefactors. Hence the neocons support open borders; hence they agitate for sacrificial wars for Zionist Jews in Israel; hence they facilitate Statist-Corporatist Goldman Sachs style rip-offs of Americans; hence they facilitate the military-industrial war profiteering complex scam; hence they facilitate authoritarian, Christian-suppressing, White harassing, and State’s rights eroding centralized Big Government.
I view the White nationalists who want the West to identify with the plight of Zionist Jewry as no less a threat than the idiot Christian Zionists and Bushcons who want America to identify with Zionist Jewry — and no less treacherous.
Like the Buschcons, they may believe their Faustian bargain is some kind of means to salvation, but in the end, they will be no less corrupting, idiotic and destructive to America than were George W. and his ilk. After all, they want to get into bed with scorpions.
***
Organized Jewry is about as respectable as the Sicilian mafia. Only it robes itself in self-righteousness and false morality, declares itself “the Chosen,” and low IQ idiots of Left and Right fall all over themselves kissing its rings. Meanwhile, its fellow gangsters join it in robbing the country blind, all under the veneer of respectability.
When God wants to test a civilization, he must send it Jewry to see if it rejects them or not. If it doesn’t, it’s finished.

Gutless, docile WASPs getting their strings pulled by Jewish neocons and Jewish liberals like to pretend they're still in charge
From:
The Death of the WASP
(Taki Magazine) -- by Paul Gottfried --
A remark by Richard Brookhiser in April in a syndicated column in the New York Post about “how we’re all WASPs now” made me realize that Brookhiser’s statement taken in context does not prove what he thinks he’s saying. A journeyman author, long associated with NR, Brookhiser, to all appearances, is an upper-class WASP endowed with all the proper manners and tics. Nonetheless, for decades he’s been in the employ of the neocons, people who would hardly qualify as bon gratin.
A scene involving one of their leaders, John Podhoretz, sticks vividly in my mind. While in the employ of the Washington Times, where Arnaud de Borchgrave entertained him lavishly as a favor to his parents, the present editor of Commentary was known for his crude table manners and general loutishness. I recall seeing him in Borchgrave’s office slouched over his chair and (dare I be so frank) picking his nose while in conversation with the apparent boss. (Actually it was Norm and Midge who called the shots at the WT then.) But people like John Podhoretz are precisely the ones whom Brookhiser and other WASPs, and particularly those at The New Criterion, have been kissing up to for years.
This subordinate position certainly does not demonstrate the assertion that “we’re all WASP patricians now.” The fact is members of our onetime dominant ethnicity and its onetime social elite are down on their luck. They’ve been reduced to menials serving at the beck and call of other groups, and in the journalistic and media world, this means working for Jewish liberals and Jewish neocons.
Such a situation should distress the new class of menials (perhaps it does!), but as I’ve indicated in more scholarly venues, their fate is entirely deserved. Elites that melt into spasms of guilt or niceness and which fail to continue to produce figures of the caliber of George Kennan, the Tafts, Robert E. Lee, Henry Adams, etc are not going to continue to be around as social, political, and cultural leaders. In doing research for my book on multiculturalism, I encountered statistical information that showed the decline of WASPdom since the middle of the last century in just about every area of human endeavor. The exception here (and it’s nothing to be proud of) is the disproportionate white Protestant representation at the public trough, and particularly in the ranks of the GOP. The last significant WASP patrician in public service was our recent, unmissed president, George W. Bush, someone whose ancestry is almost as noteworthy as the evidence of his verbal ineptitude. Needless to say, W took orders, whether or not he understood them, from neocon control-persons...MORE...LINK

Out of prison where he taught fellow Jewish inmates Judeo-ethics, convicted rackateering lobbyist Abramoff takes up kosher pizza
From:
Abramoff To Work At Tov Pizza
(Baltimore Jewish Times) -- by Phil Jacobs --
Jack Abramoff was serving time in Western Maryland.
Now, he’ll be serving pizza in Baltimore.
Well, sort of.
Abramoff, 51, is a Capitol Hill lobbyist and businessman who pled guilty in 2006 to felony counts related to his lobbying and political activities.
That is all behind him now.
Through the good graces of Tov Pizza, which has served this community for more than 26 years, Abramoff will begin to rebuild his life.
Out of a halfway house, he now works with Tov owner Ron Rosenbluth in almost all areas of the restaurant business, with perhaps a focus on marketing strategies. Abramoff was owner of a kosher restaurant in Washington, D.C., and has experience in the kosher food industry.
Because he is still under the authority of the Bureau of Prisons, Abramoff could not be interviewed by the Baltimore Jewish Times for this story.
But he is working at Tov already, and has started what will be at least a six-month stint there transitioning back into the community.
He served some 43 months in prison. According to one of the Jewish former inmates at the prison, during his incarceration Abramoff gave shirum, or Torah lectures, to the Jewish inmates on an almost daily basis. He focused on Nach, Halachah (Jewish law) and the weekly Torah portion. He also taught an introduction to davening course.
The other Jews incarcerated with Abramoff at Cumberland included several Orthodox Jews and other members of the broader Jewish community...MORE...LINK

Jewry's plot to displace and demoralize the West's traditions is today hurting its quest for more Western wars for Israel
From:
Jews as a hostile elite–again
(Occidental Observer Blog) -- by Kevin MacDonald --
Peter Brimelow ends his recent article (”Redneckophobia”? Why Obama Is Attacking Arizona“) by noting : “Our political class may live in a fantasy world, but the motive for its immigration enthusiasm is all too real: a relentless hatred of the historic American nation.” The immediate object of his ire is one Klejda Gjermani, described by Brimelow as “an Albanian expatriate of Jewish descent” who stepped off the boat and pretty much immediately realized she suffered from redneckophobia. She works for Commentary, so I am sure she feels quite at home there.
Writing in Takimag, Paul Gottfried (The Death of the WASP) also raises the issue of Jews as a hostile elite, claiming that although I am generally an “over-the-top critic of Jewish power” (specifics would be nice), on this particular issue I have “hardly scratched the surface”:
Gottfried notes that the Jews who deposed the WASP elite “appealed with brilliant success to a guilty WASP conscience.” Why the WASPs are so guilt-prone is an important question, but it’s ironic that Shelby Steele recently appealed to White guilt to explain why the West can’t muster the moral courage to condemm Israel’s enemies (WSJ, “Israel and the surrender of the West“). Leaving aside the monstrosity of what he says about Israel, this is the gist of the argument:

Chris Moore comments:
The WSJ/neocon “kosher conservatives” who try to argue that Jewish supremacist Israel is a proxy or stand-in for the West and Western civilization are full of it. Zionist Israel is no more Western than was Jewish supremacist Bolshevik Russia; it just goes to lesser lengths to hide its Judeocentrism.
It seems ironic that the WSJ would land on the side of the heirs to Bolshevism, but that’s just Big Business for you, which is just as soulless and unprincipled as Big Government — which again is something that both have in common with the Zionists.
Insatiable greed, for money, for power, for “prestige” seems to be a common characteristic of organized Jewry and its “secular” swindling acolytes, which takes them beyond any political or social principle whatsoever. So the money-worshipping, globalization-pimping Wall Street Journal’s claim to be speaking for and to the interests of the West is about as convincing Norman Podhoretz’s.
Nationalist Jewry has hustled both the Left and the Right for so long now, I suppose it thought it could hoodwink each forever. Neoliberalism and the neocon Right seem to be the last refuge of these diaspora Jewish nationalist scoundrels before their final flight to Israel, but the writing is clearly on the wall.
No wonder the president’s own Jewish right hand man Rahm Emanuel likes to spend so much time in Israel. He and the other Israel-centric neocons and neolibs must be preparing their nests, leaving the dumb goys of Left and Right who were foolish enough to collaborate with them holding the bag.

MacDonald: “it’s ironic that Shelby Steele recently appealed to White guilt to explain why the West can’t muster the moral courage to condemn Israel’s enemies”
On the one hand, Steele laments the moral relativism of the Left (which in truth was itself largely ushered in by Jews on behalf of Jewish interests to demoralize White, Western and Christian resistance and hostility); on the other hand, he complains that the modern disillusioned, demoralized West no longer has the will to fight wars for Jews. If he was to be intellectually honest, he would have to admit that Jewry is a large component of the reason the West is decayed and demoralized, and by fighting wars for Israel, we have only added to the malaise, and more wars for Israel would only compound the problem.
This is how it can be demonstrated to a certainty that Israel-first neocons, neoliberals and other partners in the Zionist grift couldn’t care less about the West, despite their professed patriotism. On top of that, we already know that Zionists despise Western Civilization per confessions from their own mouths by guys like Charles Krauthammer:

T.Nordman [in article comments]: “to blame all Jews, is just anti-Semitism and racism.”
I see some people blaming all Jews here; but I see others going to great lengths to distinguish individual Jews from “Jewry,” “organized Jewry,” “Jewish Zionists,” “Jewish neocons,” “Jewish Bolsheviks,” “Jewish racketeering,” etc. (You have to admit that Jewish collectives are more prone to organizing into epic criminal and politically murderous enterprises than non-Jewish ones).
I think Ying XB [in article comments] touches on their dysfunctional collective when he said: “jews are indeed victims; of their own cultural and psychological pathology.”
I would add the caveat that those who participate in politically murderous and criminal Jewish collectivist enterprises aren’t truly victims because they have, with their free will, chosen their paths consciously, and worked towards their fate consciously, as indeed there are non-criminal Jewish paths they could have taken, but chose not to.
That’s why I don’t buy genetic determinist arguments, but a do buy genetic orientation arguments. Ironically, for a supposed people of God, they so often take the easy out and affect to be swept up by this criminal Jewish collective or that as a means of survival and beyond their control, when in reality it was a profit-driven, conscious choice to choose a criminal Jewish gang over a legitimate one, and as such was a conscious rejection of God. But they further compound the crime by then conjuring a compliant golem God, utilized to validate their criminal decisions and lifestyle.
These are in no way “victims.”

Even that over-the-top critic of Jewish power, Kevin MacDonald, has hardly scratched the surface in delineating the nastiness with which the children and grandchildren of Eastern European Jewish immigrants clawed their way to the top of the academic-media industry, on the backs of those they often despised. And all the while they appealed with brilliant success to a guilty WASP conscience...We should never forget what happened when Jews were a hostile elite in the USSR. The loathing and conempt for the traditional people and culture of Russia was a major factor in the avid Jewish participation in the greatest crimes of the 20th century:
A very traditional part of Jewish culture was to despise the Russians and their culture. (Even the Jewish literati despised all of traditional Russian culture, apart from Pushkin and a few literary icons.) Indeed, one wonders what would motivate the Jewish commissars to revenge apart from motives related to their Jewish identity. Traditional hostility toward non-Jews and their culture forms a central theme in the writings of Israel Shahak and many mainstream Jewish historians, including Slezkine, andI have presented summaries of this material elsewhere…. hatred toward the peoples and cultures of non-Jews and the image of enslaved ancestors as victims of anti-Semitism have been the Jewish norm throughout history—much commented on, from Tacitus to the present. (review of Yuri Slezkine’s The Jewish Century)In other words, this is a problem that is endemic to Diaspora Judaism. Hostility and loathing toward the people and culture they live among is a very long and tragic theme of Jewish history and a potent source of historical anti-Semitism...
Gottfried notes that the Jews who deposed the WASP elite “appealed with brilliant success to a guilty WASP conscience.” Why the WASPs are so guilt-prone is an important question, but it’s ironic that Shelby Steele recently appealed to White guilt to explain why the West can’t muster the moral courage to condemm Israel’s enemies (WSJ, “Israel and the surrender of the West“). Leaving aside the monstrosity of what he says about Israel, this is the gist of the argument:
One reason for [Israel being seen as the bad guy] is that the entire Western world has suffered from a deficit of moral authority for decades now. Today we in the West are reluctant to use our full military might in war lest we seem imperialistic; we hesitate to enforce our borders lest we seem racist; we are reluctant to ask for assimilation from new immigrants lest we seem xenophobic; and we are pained to give Western Civilization primacy in our educational curricula lest we seem supremacist. Today the West lives on the defensive, the very legitimacy of our modern societies requiring constant dissociation from the sins of the Western past—racism, economic exploitation, imperialism and so on....MORE...LINK
When the Israeli commandos boarded that last boat in the flotilla and, after being attacked with metal rods, killed nine of their attackers, they were acting in a world without the moral authority to give them the benefit of the doubt.

It seems ironic that the WSJ would land on the side of the heirs to Bolshevism, but that’s just Big Business for you, which is just as soulless and unprincipled as Big Government — which again is something that both have in common with the Zionists.
Insatiable greed, for money, for power, for “prestige” seems to be a common characteristic of organized Jewry and its “secular” swindling acolytes, which takes them beyond any political or social principle whatsoever. So the money-worshipping, globalization-pimping Wall Street Journal’s claim to be speaking for and to the interests of the West is about as convincing Norman Podhoretz’s.
Nationalist Jewry has hustled both the Left and the Right for so long now, I suppose it thought it could hoodwink each forever. Neoliberalism and the neocon Right seem to be the last refuge of these diaspora Jewish nationalist scoundrels before their final flight to Israel, but the writing is clearly on the wall.
No wonder the president’s own Jewish right hand man Rahm Emanuel likes to spend so much time in Israel. He and the other Israel-centric neocons and neolibs must be preparing their nests, leaving the dumb goys of Left and Right who were foolish enough to collaborate with them holding the bag.

MacDonald: “it’s ironic that Shelby Steele recently appealed to White guilt to explain why the West can’t muster the moral courage to condemn Israel’s enemies”
On the one hand, Steele laments the moral relativism of the Left (which in truth was itself largely ushered in by Jews on behalf of Jewish interests to demoralize White, Western and Christian resistance and hostility); on the other hand, he complains that the modern disillusioned, demoralized West no longer has the will to fight wars for Jews. If he was to be intellectually honest, he would have to admit that Jewry is a large component of the reason the West is decayed and demoralized, and by fighting wars for Israel, we have only added to the malaise, and more wars for Israel would only compound the problem.
This is how it can be demonstrated to a certainty that Israel-first neocons, neoliberals and other partners in the Zionist grift couldn’t care less about the West, despite their professed patriotism. On top of that, we already know that Zionists despise Western Civilization per confessions from their own mouths by guys like Charles Krauthammer:

T.Nordman [in article comments]: “to blame all Jews, is just anti-Semitism and racism.”
I see some people blaming all Jews here; but I see others going to great lengths to distinguish individual Jews from “Jewry,” “organized Jewry,” “Jewish Zionists,” “Jewish neocons,” “Jewish Bolsheviks,” “Jewish racketeering,” etc. (You have to admit that Jewish collectives are more prone to organizing into epic criminal and politically murderous enterprises than non-Jewish ones).
I think Ying XB [in article comments] touches on their dysfunctional collective when he said: “jews are indeed victims; of their own cultural and psychological pathology.”
I would add the caveat that those who participate in politically murderous and criminal Jewish collectivist enterprises aren’t truly victims because they have, with their free will, chosen their paths consciously, and worked towards their fate consciously, as indeed there are non-criminal Jewish paths they could have taken, but chose not to.
That’s why I don’t buy genetic determinist arguments, but a do buy genetic orientation arguments. Ironically, for a supposed people of God, they so often take the easy out and affect to be swept up by this criminal Jewish collective or that as a means of survival and beyond their control, when in reality it was a profit-driven, conscious choice to choose a criminal Jewish gang over a legitimate one, and as such was a conscious rejection of God. But they further compound the crime by then conjuring a compliant golem God, utilized to validate their criminal decisions and lifestyle.
These are in no way “victims.”

Rabbi who bagged Helen Thomas has his own dark perspective that illustrates Zionism's entitled, Jewish-supremacist mindset
From:
Rabbi who went after Helen Thomas has supported ethnic cleansing
(Mondoweiss) -- by Anonymous --
...Dear Rabbi Nesenoff,
Helen Thomas has been rightfully criticized for her comments to you. Yet you are on record at your website supporting the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians without a word of criticism from any journalist I've read. You wrote:
"So after the Holocaust in the late 1940s it was a (sic) natural for the Jews to go back there-- to their land and reclaim it again. And with the world feeling really guilty right after the Holocaust it made it that much easier to get the land back and kick out hundreds of thousands of Arabs who were living there and dwelling peacefully with their families and loved ones. But it was ours first as it was promised to us by G-d in the Torah so we have a claim to it. And that’s why we have a Jewish Homeland and so I went there this summer with my family for my son’s Bar Mitzvah."
You seem to think this argumentation is acceptable for some people, but insufficient to convince a wider audience and yet in making a broader case you compound the problem: "In the final analysis, the Arabs of Palestine ended up with nearly 85% of the original territory of that area, and it’s called Jordan, or in reality, their ARAB Palestinian state!"
So you're on record regarding Jordan being the Palestinian state. This is very similar to the language used by Helen Thomas, but when it comes to Palestinians losing homes and land no (or few) journalists stand up for them and do the research into your own viewpoints. Since there are still millions of Palestinians living between the river and the sea, what rights do you see them as having? Should they be "transferred" to Jordan as some in the Knesset propose and as the ZOA seems to support? Should they have their own independent state comprising the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip? Or should they have full equal rights with Israel's Jewish citizens -- one person, one vote -- in one state? (According to the human rights organization Adalah there are over 30 laws that discriminate against Palestinian citizens of Israel so it isn't reality-based to say there are equal rights now for Palestinian citizens of Israel. And clearly Palestinians in the territories have even fewer rights with the dual standard of law that exists there -- one for Jewish settlers and one for Palestinians.)...MORE...LINK

For Jewish nationalists occupying Congress, Turkey suddenly goes from staunch U.S. ally to enemy #1 -- all because it crossed Israel [updated]
From:
The Jews turn on Turkey
(Occidental Observer Blog) -- by Kevin MacDonald --
Well, that didn’t take long. Turkey’s involvement in the flotilla and its support for the Palestinians has now made it an enemy of the Israel Lobby with all that that entails. All in all, it’s a good example of Jewish power and moral particularism. After long opposing any resolution on the Turkey’s genocide of Armenians, Rep. Howard Berman, a major force for Israel in the US Congress, suddenly supports a Congressional resolution, stating, “nothing justifies Turkey’s turning a blind eye to the reality of the Armenian genocide.” He and “a host of other members of the House’s unofficial Jewish caucus have signed on as co-sponsors.”
Berman suddenly found his moral bearings, along with the organized Jewish community. The neocons are naturally leading the charge, summarized byJim Lobe who quotes from a report by the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs:
And that’s the good news. The neocons and the organized Jewish community were big supporters of Turkey’s bid to join the EU–which would have meant 71 million Turks would have the right to move anywhere in Europe. This would mean the end of Europe as having any defining culture or biological coherence — obviously not a concern to activists like Friedman.
It’s worth remembering that Jewish activist organizations regarded the admission of Turkey to the EU as a way of civilizing Europe and ensuring cultural and religious, and ethnic pluralism — precisely the policy proposals that the Jewish community has advanced in all Western societies. In 2002, at the height of the push for Turkey’s admission to the EU, the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) had this to say in response to former French president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing’s argument that Muslim Turkey has no place in the European Union:

‘After long opposing any resolution on the Turkey’s genocide of Armenians, Rep. Howard Berman, a major force for Israel in the US Congress, suddenly supports a Congressional resolution, stating, “nothing justifies Turkey’s turning a blind eye to the reality of the Armenian genocide.’
So why did the Jewish nationalist occupation in Congress, including Berman, turn a blind eye for decades? These Jewish nationalists are so shamelessly and transparently self-serving and opportunistic, its a wonder that they have any friends whatsoever. That so many politicians and Americans dance to their tune with a grin on their faces just goes to show how corrupt and decayed our society has become.
“Those that bless the Jews are blessed by God,” so the saying goes. Like so many other phenomenon revolving around organized Jewry, it appears up is down and black is white in this case, too — meaning it's more likely that those that bless the Jews are touched by Satan.
I’m not a superstitious person, but it seems to me America has been under a darkening shadow since Jewry’s ascension to the helm.

For opportunistic Zionists, recognition of other holocausts comes down to one question: Is it good for the Jews?
...Additionally, let's not forget the reports that many of the Young Turks who engineered the Aremenian holocaust were themselves crypto-Jews. In fact, there are a couple of books about the Dönme -- Sephardic Jews who converted to Islam but maintained their secret Jewish identity and associations. Here's a passage from a magazine article that encapsulates the history and the books called The Other Secret Jews from the Jewish magazine Tablet.
"Most important, several Dönme were leading members of the Committee for Union and Progress, the revolutionary party known as the Young Turks, who in 1908 forced the Sultan to grant a constitution. The Dönme, like Jews and Freemasons, sympathized with the CUP’s scientific, reformist program, though Baer emphasizes that the CUP was not a Dönme party—any more than the Russian Bolsheviks, though they included many Jews, were a Jewish party. Even so, some prominent Young Turks were Dönme, including the editor of the Party’s newspaper and the finance minister in the new CUP government."
Funny how Jewish conspirators love to brag about prominent roles played by Jews who organized as Jews in plots for revolutionary upheaval that end in mass murder, but deny that Judeofascism plays any role whatsoever in their murderous outcomes.
It's also interesting that these diaspora Jewish revolutionary groups demand constitutions supposedly guaranteeing equal rights for all, but then implement governments that end up securing special rights and privileges for Jewish cliques that go on to carry out mass murder of non-Jews (and Jewry then professes to believe that history has been so rough on the Jewish people simply because they are different.) And in the case of Israel, the Jews refuse to write and implement a constitution at all because the articles of the state already grant special favoritism to Jews, hence a constitution of rights for all citizens would water down Jewish privilege.
Given all these facts, it becomes clear that not only are Gentile supporters of Judeofascism helping to set up Jewish-supremacist societies the world over, but they are also helping to cut the throats of their own progeny by doing so. I guess certain kinds of trash will do anything for money, power and temporal luxuries. --Chris Moore

@ me says [in article comments]: “One curious aspect of this – the monarchs they consider ‘good for jews’ were often the most corrupt and hostile to commoners – and the monarchs they considered ‘bad’ for Jews – like Isabel of Spain – were good for commoners, the people and the country and usually anti-corruption…”
Hence it follows that today’s organized Jewry in America love the elitist, Statist-Corporatist neocon Right and the limousine liberal Left, and fear and loathe the middle American “rubes.”
This is why Jewish nationalism/elitist Jewry doesn’t fit or belong in America or any other democracy: they hate and fear the People and their traditions and customs, thus they hate the concept of People’s rights, free speech and equal representation. Deep down, they believe if the People take power, the first thing they will do is persecute the Jews (which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy/cycle manifesting from Jewry’s own attitudes and behavior.)
Thus, the way they have subverted democracy in America is to seize and buy off the elites and their institutions, using the mainstream media to create a false consciousness in the masses that they are still indeed living in a democracy, even as it is closer to a plutocracy/kleptocracy largely run by organized Jewry, ideological Zionists, Judeophile lefties and Judeo-supremacist neocons/Bushcons (my shorthand for all: “the Judeos”) for Jewry’s benefit and the benefit of its corrupt partners.
Today, and throughout history, what’s good for the Judeos is bad for the People, and what’s good for the People is bad for the Judeos.
This is why to my mind it is inevitable that sooner or later, the Judeos will lose. The only question is how much suffering and loss we will have to endure before they are taken down and put on trial for treason, or packed off to Israel.

Neither organized Jewry nor the Left really wants a classically liberal, race-neutral future in the West that doesn’t single out this group or that for special treatment by government in an effort to stick it to both Whitey and Christendom, and to provide itself an unfair, government guaranteed advantage. The Left may today indeed be turning on organized Jewry, which despite all its camouflage is innately an extreme right-wing enterprise and has always been. But because Jewry largely invented Leftism as its “cover,” the Left too possesses Judaism’s self-contradiction of posing as “progressive” but secretly subscribing to extremely selfish and self-serving authoritarianism.
In other words, both organized Judaism and the Left are frauds and swindlers running the most scurrilous rackets, and employing self-righteousness and false moral authority to portray themselves as beyond reproach.
The West can never participate in any meaningful or healthy partnership with swindlers and ever hope to regain an iota of moral and social integrity.

Berman suddenly found his moral bearings, along with the organized Jewish community. The neocons are naturally leading the charge, summarized byJim Lobe who quotes from a report by the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs:
“If Turkey finds its best friends to be Iran, Hamas, Syria and Brazil (look for Venezuela in the future) the security of that information (and Western technology in weapons in Turkey’s arsenal) is suspect. The United States should seriously consider suspending military cooperation with Turkey as a prelude to removing it from [NATO],” suggested the group.What’s interesting here is the proposal to eject Turkey from NATO. It wasn’t long ago that Turkey was being assured that it could become a member of the EU. Turkey’s exclusion from Europe is widely seen as a big factor in its change of foreign policy. Thomas Friedman: “After a decade of telling the Turks that if they wanted E.U. membership they had to reform their laws, economy, minority rights and civilian-military relations — which the Erdogan government systematically did — the E.U. leadership has now said to Turkey: ‘Oh, you mean nobody told you? We’re a Christian club. No Muslims allowed.’ The E.U.’s rejection of Turkey, a hugely bad move, has been a key factor prompting Turkey to move closer to Iran and the Arab world.”
Its board of advisers includes many prominent champions of the 2003 Iraq invasion, including former Defence Policy Board chairman Richard Perle, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director James Woolsey, and former U.N. Amb. John Bolton.
And that’s the good news. The neocons and the organized Jewish community were big supporters of Turkey’s bid to join the EU–which would have meant 71 million Turks would have the right to move anywhere in Europe.

Ironically, in the fifteenth century, when European monarchs expelled the Jews, it was Moslem Turkey that provided them a welcome…. During the Holocaust, when Europe was slaughtering its Jews, it was Turkish consuls who extended protection to fugitives from Vichy France and other Nazi allies…. Today’s European neo-Nazis and skinheads focus upon Turkish victims while, Mr. President [d'Estaing], you are reported to be considering the Pope’s plea that your Convention emphasize Europe’s Christian heritage. [The Center suggested that Giscard’s new Constitution] underline the pluralism of a multi-faith and multi-ethnic Europe, in which the participation of Moslem Turkey might bolster the continent’s Moslem communities—and, indeed, Turkey itself—against the menaces of extremism, hate and fundamentalism. A European Turkey can only be beneficial for stability in Europe and the Middle East. (see here)I rather doubt that we’ll be seeing this sort of thing anymore. The chances of Turkey being admitted to the EU now are less than zero...MORE...LINK

Turkey and the Neocons
(Foreign Policy) -- by Stephen M. Walt --
It couldn't be more predictable. Back when Israel and Turkey were strategic allies with extensive military-to-military ties, prominent neoconservatives were vocal defenders of the Turkish government and groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and AIPAC encouraged Congress not to pass resolutions that would have labeled what happened to the Armenians at the hands of the Turks during World War I a "genocide." (The "Armenian lobby" is no slouch, but it's no match for AIPAC and its allies in the Israel lobby). The fact that the ADL was in effect protecting another country against the charge of genocide is more than a little ironic, but who ever said that political organizations had to be ethically consistent? Once relations between Israel and Turkey began to fray, however -- fueled primarily by Turkish anger over Israel's treatment of the Palestinians -- the ADL and AIPAC withdrew their protection and Congressional defenders of Israel began switching sides, too.
Last week Jim Lobe published a terrific piece at InterPress Service, detailing how prominent neoconservatives have switched from being strong supporters (and in some cases well-paid consultants) of the Turkish government to being vehement critics. He lays out the story better than I could, but I have a few comments to add.
First, if this doesn't convince you that virtually all neoconservatives are deeply Israeli-centric, then nothing will. This affinity is hardly a secret; indeed, neocon pundit Max Boot once declared that support for Israel was a "key tenet" of neoconservatism. But the extent of their attachment to Israel is sometimes disguised by the claim that what they really care about is freedom and democracy, and therefore they support Israel simply because it is "the only democracy in the Middle East."
But now we see the neoconservatives turning on Turkey, even though it is a well-functioning democracy, a member of NATO, and a strong ally of the United States. Of course,Turkey's democracy isn't perfect, but show me one that is. The neocons have turned from friends of Turkey to foes for one simple reason: Israel. Specifically, the Turkish government has been openly critical of Israel's conduct toward the Palestinians, beginning with the blockade of Gaza, ramping up after the brutal bombardment of Gaza in 2008-2009, and culminating in the lethal IDF attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. As Lobe shows, a flock of prominent neoconservatives are now busily demonizing Turkey, and in some cases calling for its expulsion from NATO.
Thus, whether a state is democratic or not matters little for the neocons; what matters for them is whether a state backs Israel or not. So if you're still wondering why so many neoconservatives worked overtime to get the U.S. to invade Iraq -- even though Osama bin Laden was in Afghanistan or Pakistan -- and why they are now pushing for war with Iran, well, there's your answer...MORE...LINK

Israeli leadership's Judeofascist tendencies: Rational, or suicidal?
From:
Is Benjamin Netanyahu Rational?
(AntiWar.com) -- by Philip Giraldi--
Is Benjamin Netanyahu rational? The question has to be asked because Netanyahu, the leader of a country that is paranoid about its own security, controls a secret nuclear arsenal and has the capability to bomb just about anybody. Rational behavior in the context of a head of state is admittedly an elusive quality, but it generally means that occasional lying is okay, particularly if it is tenuously based on something that might be true. Lying with a straight face or completely evading critical questions might even be considered a perk of office. But when the chips are down and hard decisions have to be made, a head of government should at least behave like a mature adult employing some logical process. That would mean weighing up the plusses and minuses of various actions, risks versus gains, and coming up with a response that serves the country’s interests with the least collateral damage possible.
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has not made very good decisions. From Tel Aviv’s point of view, it is absolutely essential that Israel maintain the support of the United States and also very important that it be regarded positively by the Europeans and Russia. Yet Netanyahu has gone the opposite way, continuing to expand settlements even after the United States president has told him to stop, announcing new settlement growth to coincide with the arrival of the American vice president on a state visit, assassinating an Arab official using fake European passports, continuing the strangulation of Gaza for no good reason even when it is opposed by both the European Union and Washington, and engaging in an act of piracy on the high seas that resulted in the deaths of nine unarmed civilians, sticking his thumb in the eye of Israel’s closest Muslim friend, Turkey.
A keen observer of the Netanyahu behavior might well detect a suicidal tendency, perhaps tied in some way to the well known Israeli Masada complex.

The very concept of being one of a "chosen people" can be interpreted positively by observing that God had selected the Jewish people to be his witness and bear his message, but it can also be turned on its head to imply that those who are not chosen are somehow inferior. Being selected by God has also been used to support the Israeli claim to the land that they have stolen from the Palestinians, a line that has inevitably been parroted by the Christians United for Israel and other evangelical groups in the US.
The current Israeli government is the most hard-line and intransigent in the history of the country and it has a nasty, racist edge to it.

The insistence that Israel is and should be a Jewish state means that it cannot be democratic as it is making full legal rights contingent on religion, not on a concept of citizenship.

Is Benjamin Netanyahu Rational?
(AntiWar.com) -- by Philip Giraldi--
Is Benjamin Netanyahu rational? The question has to be asked because Netanyahu, the leader of a country that is paranoid about its own security, controls a secret nuclear arsenal and has the capability to bomb just about anybody. Rational behavior in the context of a head of state is admittedly an elusive quality, but it generally means that occasional lying is okay, particularly if it is tenuously based on something that might be true. Lying with a straight face or completely evading critical questions might even be considered a perk of office. But when the chips are down and hard decisions have to be made, a head of government should at least behave like a mature adult employing some logical process. That would mean weighing up the plusses and minuses of various actions, risks versus gains, and coming up with a response that serves the country’s interests with the least collateral damage possible.
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has not made very good decisions. From Tel Aviv’s point of view, it is absolutely essential that Israel maintain the support of the United States and also very important that it be regarded positively by the Europeans and Russia. Yet Netanyahu has gone the opposite way, continuing to expand settlements even after the United States president has told him to stop, announcing new settlement growth to coincide with the arrival of the American vice president on a state visit, assassinating an Arab official using fake European passports, continuing the strangulation of Gaza for no good reason even when it is opposed by both the European Union and Washington, and engaging in an act of piracy on the high seas that resulted in the deaths of nine unarmed civilians, sticking his thumb in the eye of Israel’s closest Muslim friend, Turkey.
A keen observer of the Netanyahu behavior might well detect a suicidal tendency, perhaps tied in some way to the well known Israeli Masada complex. Masada was the first century A.D. site of the suicide of nearly one thousand Israelite zealots who refused to surrender to the Roman army. More recently, in 1991 investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported on the modern version of Masada called the Samson Option, in which Israel was planning to use nuclear weapons to destroy most of the Middle East if it were in danger of being overrun.

Charles Krauthammer's enduring Judeocentric hatred of Europe and Western Civilization internalized by the mainstream Right
From:
Charles Krauthammer’s “Those Troublesome Jews”
(Occidental Observer Blog) -- By Kevin MacDonald --
Charles Krauthammer has always been extreme even by neocon standards. He was among the first to recommend that America seize the opportunity created by the fall of the Soviet Union to remake the entire Arab world in the interests of “democratic globalism.”
Beyond power. Beyond interest. Beyond interest defined as power. That is the credo of democratic globalism. Which explains its political appeal: America is a nation uniquely built not on blood, race or consanguinity, but on a proposition—to which its sacred honor has been pledged for two centuries.
America is committed not to blood but to supporting democracy and freedom. America must defeat “the new global threat to freedom, the new existential enemy, the Arab-Islamic totalitarianism that has threatened us in both its secular and religious forms for the quarter-century since the Khomeini revolution of 1979.”...
What’s different about Krauthammer is his willingness to play the anti-Semitism card — combined with the usual trademarked dose of moral posturing. His column on the flotilla is titled “Those Troublesome Jews” — troublesome in his view because Jews insist on defending themselves:
Israel’s problems don’t stem from push back resulting from its aggressive ethnonationalism, they stem from the fact that the world–the entire world–wants another Holocaust, including “the supine Europeans who’ve had quite enough of the Jewish problem.” While the rest of the world hates Jews because of Third Worldism, the Europeans hate Jews just as they have for the last millennium. They’re all basically Nazis at heart.
This is not an exaggeration. His 2002 article “Please excuse the Jews for living” had the same logic. He recited the many sins of France, including the fact that Jean Marie LePen – “the modern incarnation of European fascism” — had enough votes to be a run-off candidate for president.
I don’t recall Krauthammer condemning the many signs of fascism in Israel — particularly the present Israeli government and, most famously, its foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman. It’s clear that Krauthammer thinks that European countries are proposition countries too. For Europeans, nationalism is a morally reprehensible reminder of National Socialism; for Israelis, it’s simply Jews being assertive...
The existence of fanatical Jews like Krauthammer isn’t a surprise given what we know about the massive ethnocentrism at the heart of Jewish identity. What is truly depressing is that he is published in the Washington Post and syndicated in over 200 other newspapers and websites, such as Townhall. He is a regular commentator on Fox News and Inside Washington.
The result is that Americans are continually subjected to pro-Israel chauvinism, towering Jewish ethnocentrism, and anti-European hatred in the most prestigious and popular media outlets. We internalize the double standard in which Krauthammer rationalizes Israeli racialism and apartheid but promotes and exploits the idea that America and European countries exist for the purpose of defending abstractions; any sign of White identity and sense of White interests are morally repugnant.
We come to take these ideas for granted–to the point that Krauthammer is eminently respectable, especially among conservatives. Other commentators, like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, seem to have internalized this mindset as well. Accepting people like Krauthammer is what it means to be a mainstream conservative.
It’s a major part of the sickness we face...MORE...LINK

Chris Moore comments:
MacDonald paraphrasing Krauthammer: “While the rest of the world hates Jews because of Third Worldism, the Europeans hate Jews just as they have for the last millennium. They’re all basically Nazis at heart.”
And no doubt Krauthammer and all other ethnocentric Jews believe European Nazism flows from its legacy of Christianity, therefore Christianity must be harassed and suppressed at every opportunity in America, and America’s religion should be replaced with Judeophile “Judeo-Christianity” and wars for “global democracy” (especially against Muslim and Arabs in Israel’s neighborhood).
It’s nice that Krauthammer basically admits he and his ilk despise Europeans and Christianity, and thus Western Civilization. It’s also nice to know that even those “Christians” who have embraced this Judeo-centric world view are as hostile to the concept of America as on a continuum with Western Civilization as are ethnocentric Jews (eg Rumsfeld and his relentless ridiculing of “Old Europe”).
In short, this virulent Judeo world view interprets America as a whore to be used for profiteering, and wars for the Judeos, and thus prostituted and exploited at every turn. That America has been turned into a Statist-Corporatist whorehouse as a result naturally follows.
It’s really hard to see how this identity, which like Leftism is essentially yet another post-Christian or anti-Christian identification invented by Jews, is any more patriotic than Communism — notwithstanding all its phony Fox News flag waving.
-----
The other point that needs to be made is how Krauthammer poses as someone pursuing a patriotic American secular agenda, whereas in truth he is pursuing a Judeo-centric religious agenda. This is a corollary to ethnocentric Jews who use Big Government to quash White racial identity even as they utilize it to reinforce their own racial identity (e.g. Israel-firstism and the Department of anti-Semitism).
These are the sorts of racial-supremacist double standards that are anathema to the concept of America, which proves that all Krauthammer’s talk of America as a conceptual nation are just so much hot air that he doesn’t even believe himself, but just more Jewish-chameleon posturing and camouflage for self-serving ethnic tribal purposes.

This is another gem of an observation by MacDonald. And I would agree that it is indeed a sickness. Mainstream conservatives have essentially been conditioned to accept Israel first policies and the concept of Judeo-supremacism, and have indeed internalized and rolled over for the American people’s second-class caste status for so long that they now demand everyone else do the same. These are very sick puppies who are so complicit, compromised and corrupted by their own moral, ethical, spiritual and social cowardice that they don’t want anyone else to be allowed to point to the elephant in the living room, either.
Ironically, these gutless, Jewish-owned and Judaized Israel firsters (as epitomized by Limbaugh and Hannity) also hold themselves up as the ultimate American patriots.
What a disgrace. What a farce.

The world is tired of these troublesome Jews, 6 million — that number again — hard by the Mediterranean, refusing every invitation to national suicide.

Israel’s problems don’t stem from push back resulting from its aggressive ethnonationalism, they stem from the fact that the world–the entire world–wants another Holocaust, including “the supine Europeans who’ve had quite enough of the Jewish problem.” While the rest of the world hates Jews because of Third Worldism, the Europeans hate Jews just as they have for the last millennium.

Why doesn't the Jewish-dominated Council of Foreign Relations beget calls for "diversity"?
From:
No Diversity at Council of Foreign Relations Panel to Discuss Gaza Raid
(By Occidental Dissent) --
Philip Weiss, a noted post-Zionist peace activist has broken the taboo on Jewish power inside the Council of Foreign Relations:
CFR braintrust on Gaza is almost all neocon and a six-letter-word-beginning-with-J
"This is astonishing: The Council on Foreign Relations lineup on the Gaza disaster. And every expert is a neocon or neocon-lite. And almost all are Jewish…"
When it comes to diversity (or lack thereof), things can be “too white” but never “too Jewish.”
Immediately after Obama nominated Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, she came under scrutiny by liberals because she had hired mostly white and no black or Hispanic professors while she was dean of Harvard Law School.
A couple of weeks later, when Pat Buchanan pointed out that Kagan would be the third Jewish Justice on the Supreme Court, the same liberals who had bemoaned that the Harvard faculty was “too white” attacked Buchanan for merely insinuating that the Supreme Court was “too Jewish.”
“Too white” is a legitimate criticism; “too Jewish” is racist and anti-Semitic. It’s the same thing with “white privilege.”
By any standard Jews are the most privileged white subgroup. In fact, the median net wealth of a Jewish family is something like 6x the median net wealth of an evangelical family.
But while talk about “white privilege” is fashionable, nobody would ever dare utter the phrase “Jewish privilege.”...LINK

Chris Moore comments:
‘“Too white” is a legitimate criticism; “too Jewish” is racist and anti-Semitic.’
What’s most irritating and irrational about Statist liberals is that even as many of them are rightfully outraged by the horrendous plight of the Arabs and Palestinians at the hands of the American leviathan, the second it’s pointed out that the American-Jewish lobby and organized Jewry are the driving forces behind the atrocities, suddenly those making that assertion are bigots. “Zionists” must be blamed, not Jewry. Why? Because Jewry is the linchpin in the Democratic Party; Jewish money fuels the Democratic Party; nearly all Jews in Congress are Democrats; and Jewish Marxists and Bolsheviks essentially “invented” Leftism.
Left-liberals will never do anything about Jewish hegemony in America, and consequently, they will never be able to do anything about Jewish hegemony in the Middle East, which flows from Jewish domination here. Ironically, then, it is the White “bigots” willing to attack the Jewish juggernaut here who are actually the better friends of those who suffer under the Jewish yoke the world over, and not the drama-queen Left which likes to wail and moan, but lacks the courage and honesty to strike the Jewish root.
