“Neo-Nazism has become the trigger for a kind of Jewish blindfold”

17

Good piece on the Jewish left, or as I prefer to call them, the Jewicidals. In her piece, Phillips attempts to pry the Jewish left’s eyelids open with a crowbar. But alas, one cannot reason with the irrational. It is hardly better in Phillips’ UK. One in three British Jews have considered emigrating due to Islamic antisemitism. And yet Jewish lay leadership supported my ban from the UK, despite the basis of that ban: my fierce support of Israel and opposition to jihad and Islamic Jew-hatred.

Perry B writes me, “Jews used to be ‘the canary in the coal mine’. Whatever happened to the Jews in any given society would be an indicator of things to come for (or against) others. Stockholm Syndrome has now set in, in the guise of self-righteous liberalism. Those canaries now sympathize with the coal miners. They did the same thing in pre-Nazi Germany….”

Jews misread America’s cultural civil war

Melanie Philips, August 20, 2017:

Story continues below advertisement

The cultural civil war that has now exploded in America is an immensely dangerous moment for the west. It is also perilous for the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Yet in both Israel and the diaspora, too many Jews just don’t get it. They are parroting instead the double-dealing and hypocritical pieties of their mortal enemies.

After Charlottesville, Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin wrote a letter expressing “support and solidarity” with the American Jewish community “at this difficult time”.

Jewish students in America run a permanent gauntlet of left-wing hate over Israel. Has Rivlin ever expressed his “support and solidarity” with the American Jewish community over antisemitism on campus?

When President Obama denied that the slaughter of Jews in the Hyper-Cacher Paris supermarket in 2015 was antisemitic, did Rivlin express his “support and solidarity” with the American Jewish community then? Hardly, since more than 70 per cent were Obama voters.

When the Democratic National Convention appointed as its deputy chairman Keith Ellison, a man with former close ties to the profoundly Jew-hating, black racist organisation Nation of Islam and who has a history of troubling remarks about Jews, did Rivlin express his support and solidarity with the Jews of America? Of course not – because the overwhelmingly Democrat-voting Jews of America are not only silent about Ellison but doubtless will themselves have nodded along with his nauseating double-speak in claiming that the Trump administration is riddled with white supremacists.

At Charlottesville, the former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke ranted in deranged fashion about alleged Jewish power over the media and banking system and about the ”Zionist ethno-state of Israel”. But this vile outpouring is indistinguishable from the antisemitic tropes spewed out by “antifa” groups, of the kind that clashed at Charlottesville, and beyond them the left in general and beyond then too; indeed the trope of Jewish power controlling the world was institutionalised by Mearsheimer and Walt in their book The Israel Lobby, and yet they remain esteemed and even lionised in academia.

In a startling and all-too telling coda to the departure from the White House of Trump’s now ex-chief strategist Steve Bannon, the left-wing HuffPost published a picture of Bannon under the headline “Goy, bye!”

“Goy” is a Hebrew word meaning nation; colloquially, however, it is associated with a contemptuous attitude towards gentiles – and in a further linguistic twist has now been adopted by neo-Nazis to heap further hatred upon Jews.

The implication of the HuffPost headline, therefore, was that the Christian Bannon had been removed by a Jewish cabal. Although HuffPost replaced this headline after eyebrows shot up across social media Jon Cooper, an Obama campaign staffer and chairman of the Democratic Coalition, enthusiastically retweeted it. So it would seem that a ripe piece of antisemitism was manufactured and disseminated by the very people who scream “white racist” at both Bannon and Trump.

There is a simplistic view that because fascism and white supremacism are evil, anyone who opposes them must be virtuous. This utterly false deduction is assiduously promoted by the left to mask its own vicious prejudices and behaviour. Too many Jews fell for this with Soviet communism in the early decades of the last century. Now they’re falling for it again.

“The very idea that in our time we see a Nazi flag – perhaps the most vicious symbol of antisemitism – paraded in the streets of the world’s greatest democracy, and Israel’s most cherished and greatest ally, is almost beyond belief,” said Israel’s President Rivlin.

Well yes, it was indeed dreadful and sickening to see it. And one has to wonder why the Charlottesville authorities apparently allowed the neo-Nazis to parade near the town’s synagogue and shout anti-Jewish insults; not to mention the fact that the police appear to have done nothing to route the two sets of protesters away from each other. But isn’t the way in which antisemitism has become mainstream on the left and is nodded along without protest by respectable opinion the thing that’s really beyond belief?

Aren’t the repeated mass demonstrations, uniting on the streets Islamo-fascists and the left marching behind slogans calling for Israel’s destruction and death to Jews, the thing that’s really beyond belief?

Black Lives Matter, a core antifa group which was at Charlottesville, is said by Alan Dershowitz to have “declared war against the nation state of the Jewish people”. Isn’t the support for BLM by so many American Jewish liberals the thing that’s really beyond belief?

Neo-Nazism has become the trigger for a kind of Jewish blindfold. Such Jews cannot see that the greater danger today comes not from a few thousand Nazi wannabes without political power but from the massed ranks of the left. This danger is far greater because left-wing antisemitism is being given a free pass by those in positions of cultural power and who vilify and smear any who call them out.

As I wrote here, Trump’s initial remarks after Charlottesville were lamentably vague. He said:

“I think there’s blame on both sides. You had a group on one side that was bad. You had a group on the other side that was also very violent. Nobody wants to say that. I’ll say it right now.”

He should have said specifically there is no place for white supremacism or antisemitism in America; and he should also have said specifically that antifa’s behaviour was violent and unacceptable.

However inadequate his response, however, it has been distorted to suggest that he refused to criticise white supremacists at all, or even that he supports them. It is also said that he drew an equivalence between the neo-Nazis and the antifa. That’s also untrue. He said merely there was violence and bad people on both sides. Indeed, the antifa arrived at Charlottesville equipped for violence with baseball bats and sticks.

Those who point this out have found themselves the butt of claims that they would have similarly condemned those resisting fascist marches in the 1930s. This is not just offensive but morally obtuse. In the 1930s, fascists posed an all-too real threat in Europe. Today’s neo-Nazis, by contrast, are a rag-tag bunch of thugs who are not in any position of power (although unforgivably they are being bigged-up by the left who are inflating their importance almost daily; who previously would even have heard of white supremacist Richard Spencer, or relayed every word David Duke uttered as if he was someone to be taken at all seriously?)

Moreover, would those who imply that violence against fascists is justified say violence against an Islamist demonstration would be justified? On the contrary – these people start screaming Islamophobia and racism at anyone who dares utter any criticism of Muslims, let alone take any action against them.

Trump’s real crime was not to defend white supremacists, which clearly he did not do, but to utter the inconvenient truth that elements on the left are also motivated by a violent lust for power.

The antifa have a history of violence, and not just against neo-Nazis. They deem any conservative to be a fascist and therefore deserving of intimidation and suppression. They are also viciously anti-Zionist which serves as flimsy cover for hatred of Jews.

Powerline has noted: “As one prominent antifa thug said of those on the other side of the political spectrum, ‘their existence itself is violent and dangerous, so I don’t think using force or violence to oppose them is unethical.’”

Noting that the casus belli at Charlottesville was the proposal to remove a confederate statue, Trump wondered where all this would end.

“This week it’s Robert E. Lee, I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week, and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You have to ask yourself, where does it stop?”

Well, that’s already developed just as he predicted. A frenzy has taken hold as confederate statuses and monuments are being defaced or torn down across America.

Bishop James E. Dukes of Chicago’s Liberation Christian Centre called on Mayor Rahm Emanuel to rename Washington Park and remove a statue of the first U.S. president over his ties to slavery.

A confederate statue was toppled in Durham, north Carolina, with chants of “We, we are the revolution!” and “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!” Then the vandals took turns kicking it and spitting on it.

Georgian Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has called for the destruction of the Stone Mountain carving of three Confederate leaders.

In this madness, Trump is even being blamed for unleashing the left as well as the far right.

Chicago Alderman Ray Lopez blamed Trump for the vandals who torched a bust of Abraham Lincoln.

“When you have a president who, from his point of moral authority as leader of the free world, condones the actions of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, people who believe in a segregated society – when he refuses to refute what their actions are – you embolden people to continue,” said Lopez.

So by allegedly emboldening neo-Nazis Trump has emboldened… their leftwing opponents. How crazy is this thinking??

What has erupted in America is a madness. It’s not just against Trump. It’s against American history and identity, and it’s a repudiation of reason itself. For sure, white supremacists and their ilk are evil; but they don’t threaten the very fabric of America and the west. The violent, power-crazed, nihilistic, totalitarian left do just that.

This madness explains the related derangement of anti-Zionism and Jew-baiting on the left. Too many Jews can’t put this in its necessary context to see what’s happening for the danger that it is. Instead, they are transfixed by a few thousand aggressive far-right misfits. If even Jews cannot recognise the true threat to society, what hope is there for anyone else?

The embrace of the left, by so many American Jews, is hard to explain. The most vile antisemitism is to be be found today on the left. The alliance between the radical left and radical Islam is an example of this unsavory stew that offers nothing good for American Jews. Old habits die hard, and that apparently goes doubly for old liberal voting habits. Progressive social democrat governments in Europe have caved in to Muslim radicals and extremists. European authorities are afraid to enter Muslim no-go zones. The situation is so bad in some places, like France, that Jews are fleeing the country. Keep supporting the left here and they will give us the same lawlessness.

It’s hard to know what it will finally take to make America’s mostly liberal Jews face reality.

Just a few observations on this:

The neo-nazis in America are a tiny tiny group of misfits who will not and cannot ever rise to any position of consequential power. Why? Because the vast majority of European Americans are pro Israel, not to mention those of the Protestant faiths who could even be called Zionists themselves and who number in the 10s of millions. The neos will NEVER sway these folks. Ain’t gonna happen.

The problem, as I see it, with most of the Jewish community is that they don’t realize that it is those on right not the left who stand with them and Israel. But, so many Jews have such an irrational fear of any trace of nationalism that they flee into the open arms of the left as some sort of means of protection joining forces with the Antifa and BLM types who are the real enemy.

I consider myself an American nationalist. Nationalism is the only way the impact of Islam in the West is going to be effectively dealt with. Multiculturalism, open borders, praising diversity, and all the other tools of leftism are not going to drive jihadists out of the West. The reverse is true. This is what welcomed them in.

Jews should abandon the left and join us on the right. That’s my $0.02. Keep the change.

Yes.
NAZIs and Neo-NAZIs were and are authoritarian socialists. Conservatives want Liberty, and oppose big government, because it ALWAYS crushes Liberty.

NAZIs must have big government, and they must crush liberty, because they do a lot of horrible things to people. So they must crush resistance.

This will never happen.

1. The Left is “cool.”

2. The Left is powerful. Much easier to fixate on the Right.

Leftists Jews are as much of a menace in AMERICA as in Israel.

Deporting criminal jihadis is only way or jihadi threat will continue. For first time Israel makes a belated but Long overdue ban on islamonazis http://bit.ly/2uJe4D4

when will US/EU do it ?

PAMELA CAN BEAT UP JEWS
But I won’t. Every religion has a lot of misguided yahoos in it. And Jews came by their silly attachment to the Left by honest pathways.

Marx was a Jew by birth, but he hated Jews. He coined the term ‘holocaust’. After that, one big milestone was the Dreyfus affair, in France. A Jewish officer was falsely accused of espionage, to conceal the real German-French perpetrator. Emile Zola went to bat for Dreyfus, and won his release. That night, Zola died in questionable circumstances.

European Jewry were outraged, and thus began the serious business of Zionism. They wanted to get the hell out of Dodge, and start their own country. Once they were in Israel, nobody felt like replicating the corrupt politics of Europe. And socialism was the ‘Next Big Thing’. Socialism flourished in Israel, because cooperation was vital.

But by now, Israel has turned to the center-right, because the Leftist surrender to Islamists is not an option.

Meanwhile American Jews were curried by the Left, who sought out ‘resistance cultures’ to overthrow the government. That fizzled out, but still Jews stuck by the Left, because the Right was associated with the NAZIs [Stalin promoted that despicable lie].

And now, US Jewry has begun to drift back to the center-right. Thank you Pamela, for pushing that cause!

The Nazi’s and Antifa are two sides of the same disgusting coin.
However, Antifa has been hurting people since before the election, The nazi’s only seem to be everywhere because the Media is dog whistling everyone into a frenzy.

Everyone with a skin paler than a peach is a “White nationalist. Nazi”

Which is racist in itself.

In the age of rabid, social “justice” wars and “progressives” running amok, morphing into blind supporters of Islamic fascism, the JINO’s (Jews In Name Only) of America, (most of which are secular or belong to the Reform/Conservative denominations of Judaism) are tragically on the vanguard of those pro Islamic social “justice” wars and thus have become a far greater danger to the well being of the Jews in general and Israel specifically, then all of the Neo-Nazis or the 1.6 billion Islamo-Nazis will ever be…

As an Israeli Jew that wants to survive and make the best of what this world has to offer, I fear “progressive” “Jews that enthusiastically support my eternal/mortal enemies (political Islam a.k.a ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ and Iran) like the black plague, 1000 times more than I fear ISIS

While ISIS could be eradicated or at least subdued (military/financially/politically) to a large extent, the cultural/political/ideological cancer of progressiveism (spear headed by many JINO’s…) that runs deep into the political/cultural fabric of US life, is virtually impossible to uproot at this juncture, sans a bloody civil war…

the only things that can save the west/’free world’ from the “progressive” lunacy, is a massive defeat of Democrats in 2018 and “progressive” JINO’s, waking up from their zombie like state of Muslim lovin…

Excellent article and I agree with the conclusions. The author is however unfortunately underestimating the number of neo nazi leftist “supporters” out there. It is far far greater than just a few thousand. Read the daily comments section on Breitbart. Read the comments section on recent Rebel Media videos involving its Jewish owner and the controversies involving his contributors. Hundreds of daily neo nazi comments with your classic nazi speak, not just your typical Islamist and jew hating Commie speak. Dont underestimate it.

Only the foolish Leftist Jews don’t see the handwriting on the walls, but so-be it, they did the same thing in many other societies. I have no feelings for their progressive blindness.
