I just stumbled on your blog: you are expressing here the very things that I have (reluctantly) concluded myself very recently: I simply could not NOT connect the dots anymore.

Keep fighting the good fight, Tan! {thumbsup}

Grumbly1 (who also is very jittery about living in the heart of Mexifornica)

1. How come Israel is being afflicted by the same left wing malaise as the US? Don’t you think the Elders would have had some more sense so as to keep our own land free from all that nonsense?

I am not very aware what is or isn’t going on in Israel. I don’t live there, don’t know anybody who does, and have never visited. Surely you’re not trying to blame White Christian liberals for Israel’s ills, are you? Certainly the “nation of immigrants” rhetoric is more appropriate there than it is in Ireland or the UK.

Your “monolithic view of us Jews” is a strawman, as is your presumption that I blame every problem in the US on jews. I don’t know anybody who does. My problem is that nobody can discuss the portion they are responsible for without being branded an anti-semite and hounded out of polite society. Unlike anti-anti-semites who think all the criticism is unfounded and will only try to exaggerate and ridicule it (as you do) I think the reason has just as much to do with jews generally not being able to accept criticism or blame. For most of them anti-semitism is everybody else’s fault, jews are always and only innocent victims.

The ironic thing is that jews do have a monolithic view of anti-semites. Auster does a good job of regularly repeating the caricature. To him anti-semites are essentially subhuman automatons, which is pretty much how you think as well. You, like Auster, also think you can dictate who is proper to criticize and who isn’t. Nice try. As we say here in America, go fuck yourself.

2. How come EUROPE is so left wing (to remind you: nothing like Hollywood here, no Jewish judiciary, no Jewish lobby, no Jewish control of the MSM, Israel not popular. By the way, in “this country” I meant SWEDEN, not the US)?

I don’t know Europe much better than Israel, though I have visited and do regularly read and interact with European bloggers. I follow their news.

Your use of the word “no” is unjustified. You unfairly diminish the effective contribution of a group that by all accounts, including their own, has been instrumental in European finance, business, education, politics, and media for more than 2000 years. Jews may not be as dominant there as they are in Israel or the US, but certainly they are influential, and certainly US films, finance, and academic theories make their way there.

Luke O’Farrell focuses on jewish influence in the UK. He’s a self-proclaimed anti-semite, bless his soul, but even he realizes for example that Rousseau wasn’t jewish.

Duh and duh. Any more questions?

You wrote: I consider myself a part of the Western world, […].

And this seems to be the problem here, which you may be on your way to take care of, but many other well meaning and highly ethical Jews leave unaddressed. Most of the time, it doesn’t matter. But at time of (cultural) war and (ethnic) conflict, one either sides totally and unconditionally with his fellow compatriots, or lends part of his support to the adversaries. As a matter of fact, the latter is the reason why we are having this huge problem of mass illegal immigration in the U.S. that threatens our national identity and survival.

Lawrence Auster, to his all apparently high IQ and mostly rational views, doesn’t seem like he solved that problem, either. For otherwise, he wouldn’t care so much about anti-Semitism.

I wish you good luck with your new citizenship and hope you enjoy every aspect of it.

It is obvious nothing of what I may say would make any difference to you – even the fact that, from what I wrote, it should be clear that I’m no left winger.

As for whom I identify with and what my allegiances are, I consider myself a part of the Western world, which is to me the West as we had it until the 1960s. I (legally) live in one of the 3 Germanic countries, all my friends are what could be described as “Arians” and I am in the process of obtaining the citizenship of this country. Until then, it would have been dishonest to have identified myself as anything else but what I am: an Israeli national. The day upon I receive my citizen’s status will be the day upon I shall kiss my Israeli passport, and any allegiances I (nominally) owe Israel, goodbye. Using examples from Europe and Israel was because those places, unlike the US, I know well.

Let me finish with the following: the world we know is changing in front of our very eyes. If we do not want to wake up in some multicultural hell, we have to bury the old animosities and perhaps look for new alliances. I, for one, am prepared to do so. You will be surprised how many of “my” tribe would also be willing to give up the Socialist addiction: you can only watch all the current left wing parties of the EU, Australia and the US going to extremes of appeasement towards their newly found voter base – Moslems – so many times before the coin drops. Talk to Jews without the old hysteria and you will be surprised – that’s what Auster understands, but you and the host of this blog do not.

Best wishes,

Some Israeli

Look, you write a lot but prove nothing. Do you want to make us believe that the fact that there were hundreds of thousands to millions of Jews for hundreds of years all accross the Europe, and that the fact that hundreds of thousands of them immigrated to the U.S. at the begining of the 20th century and more after the WWII, and the fact that more than half of Israel’s population is Jewish, and the fact that all these three areas are headed towards (neo-)socialism, make it completely inconcievable that these were the Jews who pushed things to the left?

Most of us know, and there are some prominent Jews, including a well-known rabi, confirm that, that it’s a Jewish thing to be a collectivist (“Liberal”, as some say these days), that is, to lean to the left. Not that al Jews are lefties nor that all lefties are Jewish, but there is a strong statistical corelation between these two. This fact is already publicly known, so you are wasting your time trying to confuse us.

Speaking of the so-called “separation of church and state”, it’s a traditional Jewish strategy to weaken their enemy. They do things like that and then they seem so surprised that all they get in return is anti-Semitism.

Wherever you live, why can’t you liberate yourself from your Jewish ancestry that holds you back, as I can see, become a 100% member of your host nation, and abandon all aliegances but to the country you call yours? It’s a win-win solution that you completely missed, I’m affraid.
