I want to welcome everyone back to Part 5 of my reading of Israel Shah Hoc's Jewish history, Jewish religion,

and not even Cold War intrigue, but how much propaganda was put into it.
And, yeah, it's a really good movie when you think about it.
And as Thomas says, it's a great war movie.

All right, let's get into this.
So I'm going to finish up chapter four here.
And yeah, I left off with section called anti-Jewish persecutions.
During the whole period of classical Judaism, Jews were often subjected to persecutions.
And this fact now serves as the main argument of the apologists of the Jewish religion with its anti-Gentile laws and especially of Zionism.
Of course, the Nazi extermination of five to six million European Jews.
Jews is supposed to be the crowning argument in that line. We must therefore consider this phenomenon
and its contemporary aspect. This is particularly important in view of the fact that the descendants
of the Jews of pre-1795 Poland, often called East European Jews, as opposed to Jews from the German
cultural domain of the early 19th century, including the present Austria, Bohemia, and Moravia,
now wield predominant political power in Israel, as well as in the Jewish communities in the USA,
and other English-speaking countries.
And because of their particular past history, this mode of thinking is especially entrenched among them,
much more than among other Jews.
We will add APAC with their influence on our country,
the overwhelming overrepresentation of Jewish people,
in media, in banking, in academia, in everything. And the argument is made, well, they have higher
IQ. Well, if there are 2% of the population and white males or 30% of the population,
the numbers just say that there would be at least equal the amount of high IQ.
Remember, not all, if it's 2% of the population, not all of them are going to be this
spectacular 115 IQ, on average 1-815 IQ, as opposed to on average 100 IQ for whites, which it can be argued
and has been argued to seem like nefarious.
It's kind of academic agent has done pretty good research on this, that it doesn't look like that at all.
Let's take it on face value.
If 15% of Jews at 2% of the population are exceptional high IQ,
and let's say if 10% of whites are high IQ,
there's going to be more whites with high IQ than Jews.
Pure numbers, not per capita.
So how does this overrepresentation happen?
the over-representation happens.
I'll say nepotism and, yeah.
So, all right.
We must first draw a sharp distinction between the persecutions of Jews during the classical period on the one hand and the Nazi extermination on the other.
The former were popular movements coming from below, whereas the latter was inspired, organized, and carried out from above, indeed by state officials.
Such acts as the Nazi state organized extermination are relatively rare.
human history, although other cases do exist, the extermination of the Tasmanians and several
other colonial peoples, for example. Moreover, the Nazis intended to wipe out other peoples besides
the Jews. Gypsies were exterminated like Jews, and the extermination of Slavs was well in your way,
with the systematic massacre of millions of civilians and prisoners of war. However, it is a recurrent
persecution of Jews in so many countries during the classical period, which is the model and
the excuse for the Zionist politicians and their persecution of the Palestinians, as well as the
argument used by apologists of Judaism in general, and it is this phenomenon which we will consider now.
Remember, Zionist writing started in the mid-1800s, a little earlier than that too.
Yeah, this was well before, you know, it must be pointed out that in all the worst anti-Jewish persecutions,
that is where Jews were killed, the ruling elite, the emperor and the pope, the king,
the higher aristocracy and the upper clergy, as well as the rich bourgeoisie in the autonomous cities,
were always on the side of the Jews.
The latter's enemies belong to the more oppressed and exploited classes,
and those close to them in daily life and interests,
such as the friars of the mendicant orders.
It is true that in most, but I think not in all cases,
members of the elite defended the Jews neither out of considerations of humanity,
nor because of sympathy to the Jews as such,
but for the type of reason used generally by rulers and justification of their interests,
the fact that the Jews were useful and profitable to them,
defense of law and order, hatred of the lower class,
and fear that anti-Jewish riots might develop into general popular rebellion.
Still, the fact remains that they did defend the Jews.
For this reason, all the massacres of Jews during the classical period
were part of a peasant rebellion or other popular movements at times when the government
was, for some reason, especially weak.
I take I take umbrage with him using for this reason all of the all the massacres during the classical period.
I don't think that's right.
I think you can find some top down.
You can find some top down.
So yeah, let's settle down there.
This is true even in the partly exceptional case of Zaris Russia.
The Tsarist government acting surreptitiously through its secret police did promote pogroms,
but it did so only when it was particularly weak after the assassination of Alexander II in 1881
and in the period immediately before and after the 1905 revolution,
and even took care to contain the breakdown of law and order.
During the time of its greatest strength, for example, under Nicholas I,
the first, or in the latter part of the reign of Alexander III,
when the opposition had been smashed,
pogroms were not tolerated by the Tsarist regime,
although legal discrimination against Jews was intensified.
The general rule can be observed in all the major massacres of Jews in Christian Europe.
During the First Crusade, it was not the proper armies of the knights commanded by famous dukes and counts which molested the Jews,
but the spontaneous popular hosts composed almost exclusively of peasants and paupers in the wake of Peter the Hermit.
In each city, the bishop or the emperor's representative opposed them and tried, often in vain, to protect the Jews.
The anti-Jewish riots in England, which accompanied the Third Crusade, were part of a popular movement directed also against royal officials, and some rioters were punished by Richard I. The massacre of Jews during the outbreaks of the Black Death occurred against the strict orders of the Pope, the Emperor, the bishops, and the German princes. In the free towns, for example, in Strasbourg, they were usually preceded by a local revolution in which the oligarchic town council, which protected the Jews, were overthrown and replaced by a more popular one.
The great 1391 massacre of Jews in Spain took place under a feeble regency government,
and at a time when the papacy weakened by the great schism between competing popes,
was unable to control the mendicant friars.
Perhaps the most outstanding example is the Great Massacre of Jews under the Kamilniki.
I've seen it spelled differently, revolt in the Ukraine, 1648,
which started as a mutiny of Cossack officers, but soon turned into a widespread population.
movement of the oppressed serfs. The unprivileged, the subjects to Ukrainians, the Orthodox
persecuted by the Polish Catholic Church, were rising against their Catholic Polish masters,
particularly against their masters, bailiffs, clergy, and Jews. The typical peasant uprising
against extreme oppression, I don't know if he's going to talk about it here, but there was a,
that didn't just come out of nowhere. Jews had a lot of power in
in that section of Ukraine right there and were had a kind of a eschatological fever going like the
Messiah was coming and they had started committing violence against people so this this revolt
quote unquote revolt was in response to Jewish violence you'll you'll see that I've
covered that with Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson, especially talking about the pogroms, the quote-unquote programs
in pogroms in the 1890s and 1900s in Russia, is that it was, revolutionary Jews would start
committing violence. And then when they responded to, when the Russians or the Ukrainians responded to
them Russians at times, responded, they would cry that they're being pogrom, that they're being oppressed.
And since they had a lot of the, they had already controlled many newspapers in the Western newspapers in Russia, they were able to broadcast that and basically convince, I think one in 1903, they said that babies were being cut out of Jewish women's stomachs and Jewish women were having nails driven into their head repeatedly.
And it's like, I've heard this.
this all sounds familiar
they even said one was baked in an oven

accompanied not only by massacres committed by the rebels, but also by even more horrible
atrocities and counterterror of the Polish magnate's private armies, has remained emblazoned in the
consciousness of East European Jews to this very day, not, however, as a peasant uprising, a revolt to the
oppressed of the real wretched of the earth, not even as a vengeance visited upon all the servants
of the Polish nobility, but as an act of gratuitous anti-Semitism directed against Jews as such.
In fact, the voting of the Ukrainian delegation at the UN, and more generally Soviet policies in the
Middle East are often explained in the Israeli press as a heritage of Kemaliki or his descendants.
To Jews, the only person worse than Kemalniki is Adolf Hitler.
They all know, I pronounce it Kemalnicki.
It's spelled different ways, but yeah.
I did an episode on that with Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson.

New heading.
Modern anti-Semitism.
The character of anti-Jewish persecutions underwent a radical change in modern times.
With the advent of the modern state, the abolition of serfdom, and the achievement of minimal individual rights, the special socioeconomic function of the Jews necessarily disappears.
Along with it disappear also the powers of the Jewish community over its members.
individual Jews growing in growing numbers when the freedom to enter the general society of their countries.
Naturally, this transition aroused a violent reaction both on the part of Jews, especially their rabbis,
and of those elements in European society who opposed the open society and for whom the whole process of liberation of the individual was anathema.
Modern anti-Semitism appears first in France and Germany, then in Russia after about 1870.
contrary to the prevalent opinion among Jewish socialists, I do not believe that its beginning or its subsequent development until the present day can be ascribed to capitalism.
On the contrary, in my opinion, the successful capitalist in all countries were on the whole remarkably free from anti-Semitism, and the countries in which capitalism was established first and in its most extensive forms, such as England and Belgium, were also those where anti-Semitism was far less white.
widespread than anywhere else.
There's a bunch I could be commenting on this, but I'm just going to let a lot of it go.
He speaks very clearly.
This is good history.
Early modern anti-Semitism 1880 to 1900 was a reaction of bewildered men who deeply hated modern society in all its aspects, both good and bad,
and who were ardent believers in the conspiracy theory of history.
The Jews were cast in the role of scapegoat for the breakup of the old society,
which anti-Semitic nostalgia imagined as even more closed and ordered than it had been in reality,
and for all this was disturbing in modern times.
But right at the start, the anti-Semites were faced with what was, for them, a difficult problem.
How to define this scapegoat, particularly in popular terms.
what is to be supposed
what is to be the supposed common denominator of the Jewish musician, banker, craftsman, and beggar,
especially after the common religious features had largely dissolved at least externally?
The theory of the Jewish race was the modern anti-Semitic answer to this problem.
In contrast, the old Christian and even more so Muslim oppositions of classical Judaism
was remarkably free from racism.
No doubt that this was to say,
some extent a coincidence of the universal character of Christianity in Islam, as well as of their
original connection with Judaism. St. Thomas More repeatedly rebuked the woman who objected
when he told her that the Virgin Mary was Jewish. But in my opinion, a far more important reason
was the social roles of the Jews as an integral part of the upper classes. In many countries,
Jews were treated as potential nobles, and upon conversion were able immediately to intermarry
with the highest nobility.
The nobility of 15th century Castile and Aragon, or the aristocracy of 18th century
Poland, to take the two cases where intermarriage with converted Jews was widespread,
would hardly be likely to marry Spanish peasants or Polish serfs, no matter how much praise
the gospel has for the poor.
It is the modern myth of the Jewish race of outwardly hidden but supposedly dominant characteristics
to the Jews independent of history, of social role, if anything,
which is the formal and most important distinguishing mark of modern antisemitism.
This was, in fact, perceived by some church leaders when modern anti-Semitism first appeared
as a movement of some strength.
Some French Catholic leaders, for example, opposed the new racist doctrine expounded by
Edremont, the first popular modern French anti-Semite and author of the notorious book La France Jouille,
which achieved wide circulation.
Early modern German anti-Semites encountered similar.
opposition. It must be pointed out that some important groups of European conservatives were
quite prepared to play along with modern anti-Semitism and use it for their own ends, and the
anti-Semites were equally ready to use the conservatives when the occasion had offered itself,
although at bottom there was little similarity between the two parties. The victims who were
most harshly treated by the pen of the above-mentioned Drumon were not the Rothschilds, but the great
nobles who courted them.
Drumon did not spare the royal family or the bishops or for that matter the Pope.
Nevertheless, many of the French great nobles, bishops, and conservatives generally were quite happy to use Drumon and anti-Semitism during the crisis of the Dreyfus affair in an attempt to bring down the Republican regime.
This type of opportunistic alliance reappeared many times in various European countries until the defeat of Nazism.
The conservatives' hatred of radicalism and especially of all forms.
forms of socialism, blinded many of them to the nature of their political bedfellows.
In many cases, they were literally prepared to ally themselves with the devil,
forgetting the old saying that one needs a very long spoon to sup with him.
The effectiveness of modern anti-Semitism and of its alliance with conservatism depended on several factors.
First, the older tradition of Christian religious opposition to Jews, which existed in many,
though by no means all, European countries could, if supported or at least unopposed
by the clergy be harnessed to the anti-Semitic bandwagon. The actual response of the clergy in each
country was largely determined by specific local, historical, and social circumstances. In the Catholic
Church, the tendency for an opportunistic alliance with anti-Semitism was strong in France, but not in
Italy, in Poland and Slovakia, but not in Bohemia. The Greek Orthodox Church had notorious
anti-Semitic tendencies in Romania, but took the opposite line in Bulgaria. Among the Protestant
churches, the German was deeply divided on this issue,
others, such as the Latvia and Estonian, tended to be anti-Semitic, but many, for example,
the Dutch, Swiss, and Scandinavian were among the earliest to condemn anti-Semitism.
Secondly, anti-Semitism was largely a generic expression of xenophobia, a desire for a pure
homogenous society. Perished a thought. I mean, we know that he, he looks at Israel. He's a liberal.
He believes in multiculturalism and everything.
I assume that's one of the reasons why he hates Israel.
I mean, I don't remember if he exactly said that, but the implications are all there.
But in many European countries around 1900, and in fact, until quite recently, the Jew was virtually the only stranger.
This was particularly true in Germany.
In principle, the German racists of the early 20th century hated and despised blacks just as much as Jews,
but there were no blacks in Germany then.
Hate is, of course, much more easily focused on the present than on the absent,
especially under the conditions of the time,
when mass travel and tourism did not exist,
and most Europeans never left their own country in peacetime.
Thirdly, the successes of the tentative alliance between conservatism and antisemitism
were inversely proportional to the powers and capabilities of its opponents.
And the consistent and effective opponents of anti-Semitism in Europe
are the political forces of liberalism,
and socialism. Historically the same forces that continue in various ways to tradition symbolized
by the War of Dutch independence, 1568 to 1648, the English Revolution and the Great French Revolution.
On the European continent, the main chivaleth is the attitude towards the Great French Revolution,
roughly speaking. Those who are forwarder against anti-Semitism, those who accept it with regret,
would at least be prone to an alliance with the anti-Semites. Those who hate it and would like to
undo its achievements are the miloo from which anti-Semitism develops.

Nevertheless, a sharp distinction must be made
between conservatives and even reactionaries
on the one hand and actual racist
and anti-Semites on the other.
Modern racism of which antisemitism is part,
although caused by specific social conditions,
becomes when it gains strength,
a force that, in my opinion,
only be described as demonic.
After coming to power and for its duration,
I believe it defies analysis by any presently understood social theory or set of merely
social observations, and in particular by any known theory invoking interests by the class
or state interests or other pure psychological interests or any entity that can be defined
in the present state of human knowledge.
By this, I do not mean that such forces are unknowable in principle.
On the contrary, one must hope that with the growth of human,
and knowledge, they will come to be understood. But at present, they are neither understood nor
capable of being rationally predicted, and this applies to all racism in all societies. As a matter of fact,
no political figure or a group of any particularly color in any country has predicted even vaguely
the horrors of Nazism. Only artists and poets, such as Hein, were able to glimpse some of what
the future had in store. We do not know how they did it, and besides, many of their other hunches
were wrong.
So he's a liberal, obviously.
He's against nationalism, and he has already said that in countries where nationalism is on the
rise, Jews have a tendency to lose power.
And, you know, actually, I would say when he talks about how they're the only minority,
while they can't blend in like everyone else, that's why.
that's why you know in my opinion and in opinion of many others this isn't an original thought with me
that's why many jews are four open borders for every country except Israel um but four open borders of all
white countries it seems so that they can become multicultural and then they don't stand out
like they have in the past and also when you become multicultural you lose nationalism
you sort of have to take this liberal this liberal kind of uh
you have to say on a liberal kind of attitude and a liberal kind of the zeitgeist becomes very liberal
and then as he has stated before jews thrive in that new heading the zionist response
historically zionism is both a reaction to anti-semitism and a conservative alliance with it
although the zionists like other european conservatives do not fully realize with whom they were
aligning themselves. Until the rise of modern anti-Semitism, the mood of European Jewry was optimistic,
indeed excessively so. This was manifested not only in the very large number of Jews,
particularly in Western countries, who simply opted out of classical Judaism,
apparently without any great regret in the first or second generation after this became possible,
but also in the formation of a strong cultural movement, the Jewish Enlightenment, the Haskala,
which began in Germany and Austria around 1780, was then carried into Eastern Europe,
and by 1850 to 1870 was making itself felt as a considerable social force.
I cannot enter here into a discussion of the movement's cultural achievements,
such as the revival of Hebrew literature and the creation of the wonderful literature in Yiddish.
However, it is important to note that despite many internal differences,
the movement as a whole was characterized by two common beliefs,
a belief in the need for a fundamental critique of Jewish society,
and particularly of the social role of the Jewish religion
in its classical form, and the almost messianic hope for the victory of the forces of good
in European societies. The latter forces were naturally defined by the sole criterion of their support
for Jewish emancipation. The growth of anti-Semitism is a popular movement and the many alliances
of the conservative forces with it dealt a severe blow to the Jewish Enlightenment.
The blow is especially devastating because, in actual fact, the rise of anti-Semitism occurred just after
the Jews were emancipated in some European countries, and even before they were freed in others.
The Jews of the Austrian Empire received fully equal rights only in 1867.
In Germany, some independent states emancipated their Jews quite early, but others did not.
Notably, Prussia was grudging and tardy in this matter, and final emancipation of the Jews in the German Empire as a whole was only granted by Bismarck in 1871.
In the Ottoman Empire, the Jews were subject to official discrimination until 1909, and in Russia, as well as Romania, until 1917.
Thus, modern anti-Semitism began within a decade of the emancipation of the Jews in Central Europe,
and long before the emancipation of the biggest Jewish community at that time, that of the Tsarist Empire.
It is therefore easy for the Zionists to ignore half of the relevant facts,
revert to the segregationist stance of classical Judaism and claim that since all Gentiles
always hate and persecute all Jews, the only solution would be to remove all the Jews bodily
and concentrate them in Palestine or Uganda or wherever.
Some early Jewish critics of Zionism were quick to point out that if one assumes a permanent
and a historical incompatibility between Jews and Gentiles, an assumption shared by both
Zionists and anti-Semites, then to concentrate the Jews in one place would simply bring a
them the hatred of the Gentiles in that part of the world, as indeed was to happen,
though for very different reasons. But as far as I know, this logical argument did not make
any impression, just as all the logical and factual arguments against the myth of the Jewish
race made not the slightest difference to the anti-Semites. In fact, close relations have always
existed between Zionists and anti-Semites, exactly like some of the European conservatives,
the Zionists thought they could ignore the demonic character of anti-Semitism and use the
anti-Semites for their own purpose. Many examples of such alliances are well-known. Herzliel allied himself
with the notorious Count von Plythev, the anti-Semitic minister of Tsar Nicholas II. Jabotinsky made a pack
with Petaloria, Laura, the reactionary Ukrainian leader whose forces massacred some 100,000 Jews
in 1918 to 21. Ben-Gurion's allies among the French extreme right during the Algerian war,
included some notorious anti-semites who were, however, careful to explain that they were only against the Jews in France, not in Israel.
The Ukrainian leader whose forces massacres some hundred thousand Jews in 1918 to 1921.
I don't know about that.
That number, this is the first time I'm seeing that number, and it just seems odd that this is the first time I'm seeing that number.
and I need to look up Petlura after this because I feel bad in saying.
I don't know that name.
Perhaps the most shocking example of this type is the delight with which some Zionist leaders in Germany
welcomed Hitler's rise to power because they shared his belief in the primacy of race
and his hostility to the assimilation of Jews among Aryans.
They congratulated Hitler on his triumph over the common enemy,
the forces of liberalism. Dr. Joaquin Prince, a Zionist rabbi who subsequently emigrated to the USA,
where he rose to be vice chairman of the World Jewish Congress and a leading light in the world Zionist organization,
as well as a great friend of Goldemeyer, published in 1934 a special book, Virjudin, we Jews,
to celebrate Hitler's so-called German Revolution and the defeat of liberalism.
Quoting from that book, the meaning of the German Revolution for the German nation will eventually be clear to those who have created,
it and formed its image. Its meaning for us must be set forth here. The fortunes of liberalism
are lost. The only form of political life which has helped Jewish assimilation is sunk.
Here, I mean, I'm not the only one saying this. Shahak's not the only one saying this.
Prince is saying this as well. The only form of political life which has helped Jewish assimilation
is sunk, and that's liberalism.
The victory of Nazism rules out assimilation and mixed marriages as an option for Jews.
We are not unhappy about this, said Dr. Prince.
In the fact that Jews are being forced to identify themselves as Jews, he sees the fulfillment of our desires.
And further, this is quoting Prince again.
We want assimilation to be replaced by a new law, the declaration of belonging to the Jewish nation and Jewish race.
A state built upon the principle of the purity of nation and race can only be honored and respect
by a Jew who declares his belonging to his own kind.
Having so declared himself, he will never be capable of faulty loyalty towards a state.
The state cannot want other Jews but such as declare themselves as belonging to their nation.
It will not want Jewish flatterers and crawlers.
It must demand of us faith and loyalty to our own interests.
For only he who honors his own breed and his own blood can have an attitude of honor
toward the national will of other nations.
The whole book is full of similar crude flatteries of Nazi ideology, glee at the defeat of liberalism,
and particularly of the ideas of the French Revolution, and great expectations that in the
congenial atmosphere of the myth of the Aryan race, Zionism, and the myth of the Jewish race will
also thrive. Of course, Dr. Prins, like many other early sympathizers and allies of Nazism,
did not realize where that movement and modern anti-Semitism in general was leading.
equally many people at present do not realize where Zionism, the movement in which Dr. Prince was an honored figure, is tending to a combination of the old hate of classical Judaism towards Gentiles and to the indiscriminate and a historical use of all the persecutions of Jews throughout history in order to justify the Zionist persecution of the Palestinians.
This is what Shahawks writing.
Equally, many people at present do not realize where Zionism, the movement,
in which Dr. Prince was an honored figure is tending.
That might be trending.
This might be a error here.
To a combination of all the old hates of classical Judaism towards Gentiles
and to the indiscriminate and a historical use of all the persecutions of Jews
throughout the history in order to justify the Zionist persecution of the Palestinians.
Continuing.
For, insane as it sounds, it is nevertheless plain, a person.
on close examination of the real motives of the Zionists,
that one of the most deep-seated ideological sources of the Zionist's
persistent hostility towards the Palestinians is the fact that they are identified
in the minds of many East European Jews with rebellious East European peasants
who participated in the Kemmonecki uprising and in similar revolts,
and the latter are in turn identified ahistorically with modern anti-Semitism and Nazism.
Let me just say this.
there are a lot of rumors, a lot of people will say that Hitler had this alliance with the Zionists and the Zionists were playing him.
Some will even say the Zionists were controlling him.
If you believe that, you're a fool.
This is a conspiracy theory that you can put to bed.
Okay?
I don't know how anybody who watched how things played out,
but could believe that.
It's ridiculous.
Don't believe it.
Carl Rattle on a substack,
Carl, K-A-R-L-R-A-D-L,
has tons of, tons of articles disproving this,
and all of his stuff is footnoted.
So, yeah, I can't remember what the name of his substack is now.
But, yeah, Carl Rattle, if you go to substack and you look him up.
He posts four or five times every day, just debunking myths as such as those.
All right.
New heading.
Confronting the past.
All Jews who really want to extricate from the tyranny of the totalitarian Jewish past
must face the question of their attitude towards the popular anti-Jewish manifestations of
the past, particularly those connected with the rebellions of inserved peasants. On the other side,
all the apologists of the Jewish religion and of Jewish segregationism and chauvinism also take
their stand, both ultimately and in current debates, on the same question. The undoubted fact that
the peasant revolutionaries committed shocking atrocities against Jews, as well as against their other
oppressors, is used as an argument by those apologists in exactly the same way that the Palestinian terror is
used to justify the denial of justice to the Palestinians. Our own answer must be a universal one
applicable in principle to all comparable cases. And for a Jew who truly seeks liberation from
Jewish particularism and racism and from the dead hand of the Jewish religion, such an answer is not
very difficult. After all, revolts of oppressed peasants against their masters and their master's
bailiffs are common in human history. A generation after the Kemal-Nickey uprising of the Ukrainian peasants,
The Russian peasants rose under the leadership of Stenka Ryazen, and again, 100 years later, in the Pugashev rebellion.
In Germany, there was the peasant war of 1525 in France, the Jacaree of 1357s to 1358, and many other popular revolts,
not to mention the many slave uprisings in all parts of the world.
All of them, and I have intentionally chosen to mention examples in which Jews were not targets,
were attended by horrifying massacres just as the great French Revolution was accompanied by appalling acts of terror.
What is the position of true progressives, and by now, of most ordinary, decent, educated people, be they Russian, German, and French, on these rebellions?
Do decent English historians, even when noting the massacres of Englishmen by rebellious Irish peasants rising against their enslavement,
condemn the latter as anti-English racists? What is the attitude of progressive French historians
towards the Great Slave Revolution in Sanso Domingo, where many French women and children were
but to ask the question is to answer it, but to ask a similar question of many progressive
or even socialist Jewish circles is to receive a very different answer. Here, an enslaved peasant
is transformed into a racist monster if Jews profited from his state of slavery and exploitation.
The maxim that those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it applies to those Jews who refuse to come to terms with the Jewish past.
They have become its slaves and are repeating it in Zionist and Israeli policies.
The state of Israel now fulfills towards the oppressed peasants of many countries, not only in the Middle East, but also far beyond it, a role not unlike that of the Jews in pre-1795, Poland, that of a bailiff to the imperial oppressor.
It is characteristic and instructive that Israel's major role in arming the forces of the Somoza regime in Nicaragua and those of Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile, and the rest has not given rise to any wide public debate in Israel or among organized Jewish communities in the diaspora.
Even the narrow question of expediency, whether the selling of weapons to a dictatorial butcher of freedom fighters and peasants is in the long-term interest of Jews, is seldom asked.
even more significant is the large part taken in this business by religious Jews and the total
silence to their rabbis who are very vocal and inciting hatred against Arabs. It seems that Israel
and Zionism are throwbacks to the role of classical Judaism writ large on a global scale
and under more dangerous circumstances. The only possible answer to all this, first of all,
by Jews must be that given by all true advocates of freedom and humanity in all countries,
all peoples, and all great philosophies, limited though they sometimes are, as the human condition
itself is limited. We must confront the Jewish past and those aspects of the present,
which are based simultaneously on lying about that past and worshipping it. The prerequisites for this
are, first, total honesty about the facts, and second, the belief leading to action whenever possible
in universalist human principles of ethics and politics.
The ancient Chinese sage, Menchus, fourth century BC, must be much admired by Voltaire, once wrote.
Quoting Menchus, this is why I say that all men have a sense of commiseration.
Here is a man who suddenly notices a child about to fall into a well.
Invariably, he will feel a sense of alarm and compassion,
and this is not for the purpose of gaining the favor of the child's parents
or of seeking the approbation of his neighbors and friends, or for fear of blame, shall he fail to rescue it.
Thus, we see that no man is without a sense of compassion or a sense of shame, or a sense of courtesy,
or a sense of right and wrong.
The sense of compassion is the beginning of humanity.
The sense of shame is the beginning of righteousness, and sense of courtesy is the beginning of decorum.
The sense of right and wrong is the beginning of wisdom.
Every man has within himself these four beginnings, just as he has four limbs.
since everyone has these four beginnings within him, the man who considers himself incapable of exercising them is destroying himself.
We have seen above, and will show in greater detail in the next chapter, how far removed from this are the precepts of which is Jewish religion in its classical and tumultic form is poisoning minds and hearts.
The road to a genuine revolution in Judaism to making it humane, allowing Jews to understand their own past, thereby re-educating themselves out of its own.
tyranny lies through an unrelenting critique of the Jewish religion. Without fear or favor,
we must speak out against what belongs to our past, as Voltaire did against his. At access to la,
ecra says, l'enfam. Just had to throw that in there. Just had to just hit me with something
that I'm not able to, not able to pronounce. Going back to this passage by men,
just because a man walking by sees a child from another race, another land, another place, falling into a well and chooses to save him, doesn't mean he wants that, that it's good that that family, that his family live next to him.
It may be completely incompatible.
That makes no sense.
Sure.
I don't think any of us would, if we had a chance to help, we would.
would. It doesn't mean that liberalism and multiculturalism and multi-ethnic societies are what's best for man.
I think it shows that it's not. That's not. You know, and Jewish people may cry, well,
if I'm in your land, well, you have your own. Have your own.
country. Why can't you go there? Why can't we have ours? Why can't Germany be for Germans and Irish
Ireland be for Irish and Scots be, Scotland be for Scottish? Can't French be for the French?
And why can't America be for the Americans? Mexico for Mexicans. You have your land. Go to it.
why are you worried about the way you're being treated here?
No one says
why is having access to
a place where
you're different than everyone else.
Why is that a human right?
All this just doesn't make any sense
when you stop to think about it.
The Japanese, Japan loves Japan.
and they strive to not have any immigration.
For better or worse,
making arguments one way or the other.
Why isn't that good for everyone?
Why doesn't that apply to everyone?
Why? Because war?
You're always going to have war.
They're just going to have the threat of war.
people who
think that
we should be past war now
where do you get that idea
none of that makes sense
we're warring people
and we're especially warring people
we're invaded
by people who are not like us
and seek to change
who we are
and how we live
how is that not obvious
why do we have to change?
I lived in another country for a little while.
I did not expect them to speak English.
I struggled with the language.
Thankfully, they also spoke French,
so I knew a little more French than I did the mother tongue there.
But I didn't expect them to speak English.
I was happy when I found someone who spoke English.
and expected.
And I respected their customs.
I didn't go there to try to get the borders open
so that every surrounding country could flood in.
It was for them.
I understood that.
Why is it so hard to understand?

We'll be back for chapter five, which will be called the laws against non-Jews. And I haven't looked
at how many pages this is yet. So I don't know if it's going to be all in one sitting or it'll be
broken up again. But until the next time, I appreciate you and take care. Bye.
