Voting Against Ourselves |
The Jewish Ethos Sociologists
define ethos as the personality of
an ethnic group. Just as each individual is unique, so is every ethnic group
unique. Therefore it is by no means surprising that American Jews exhibit
characteristics not found among any other ethnicity. Most
astonishing is the manner in which a majority of American Jews support our
enemies and denounce our friends. The best example of this is a group
that calls itself “Jewish Americans Ready for Hillary.” They, and a
large number of other American Jews, seek to vote and support financially an out
and out enemy of Israel and the Jewish people. The
evidence for this enmity is overwhelming. Even before she was married to Bill
Clinton, Hillary Rodham opposed Israel and promoted terrorism. Like all
so-called leftists or liberals, she has always supported the Palestinian cause,
and was at all times an admirer of the terrorist Yasser Arafat. She called
Arafat a freedom fighter and Israel an oppressor. In 1999, she embraced
Arafat’s wife Suha after Suha gave a speech in the presence of Hillary Clinton
in which Suha claimed that the Jews used poison gas in order to increase cancer
among women and children. Suha also claimed that Israel contaminated the water
sources used by Palestinians with chemical materials. These medieval accusations
driven by religious hate are evidently also the views of Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s
hatred of Jews was visible long before she became First Lady. For example, when
she and Bill visited a well-connected friend in Arkansas, she noticed that a
menorah, a seven branched Hebrew candelabrum, had been affixed to the front
door. Seeing this, she refused to get out of the car. Bill explained this
rejection of a Jewish friend on the grounds that Hillary was so involved with
the PLO in New York that she thought
it unconscionable to deal with Jews. Hillary
Clinton is also financially involved with Dubai, an Arab country which leads the
divestment and boycott against Israel. The Clinton Foundation has established
Dubai study departments in universities in the United States and England.
Closely allied to the Saudi family, who are the biggest supporters of terrorism
in the United States and Israel, the Clintons collected $10 million from the
Saudi royal family for the Clinton library. More
recently, numerous emails sent by Clinton over a period of years exhibit endless
criticism of Jews and Israel. Clinton’s
most trusted advisor is Huma Abedin, a native of Saudi Arabia, who advocates the
most radical Islamic terrorism and is a supporter of Israel’s and America’s
most vociferous enemies. Despite
this abominable anti-Jewish record, the Jewish community largely supports this
religious bigot and Jew hater. A
favorite social movement which has gained a great deal of Jewish support is the
feminist initiative. Yet the feminists for years have agitated against Jews.
These feminists hate America and of course hate Israel. Many of these feminists
were born of Jewish parents, yet advocate the destruction of Israel and the
persecution of Jews everywhere. A
few years ago, a group of American Jews founded an organization called J Street.
J Street is devoted to the destruction of Israel. At their conventions, speakers
denounce Jews and Israel and regularly promote the Arab terrorist cause. J
Street also has chapters that agitate against Jews and Israel on the campuses of
such universities as Columbia, the University of Chicago, and particularly the
numerous campuses of the University of California. The J Street followers use
violence against Jewish students on these campuses and prevent any form of
speech or expression contrary to their opinions. The presidents of some of these
J Street U’s are Muslims, who of course
are immensely happy to have been given a platform for their messages of
hate by Jews. The
Syrian Civil War has caused over 1 million Syrian Muslims to walk across the
Balkans in order to reach Germany, which they regard as the promised land.
According to the Pew Research Center’s global attitude survey, 77% of these
refugees support Hamas, a murderous terrorist organization. The Pew Research
Center also found that 90% of these refugees hate Jews. This comes about because
Syrian textbooks teach children to kill Jews wherever they may find them.. The
American Jewish community supports these refugees and compares them to the
German Jews who fled Nazi persecution in the 1930s and 1940s. That comparison is
particularly egregious because the German Jews of the 1930s were not welcome
here, as are the Syrian refugees of today. In fact, in my recent book The
German Jews in America, I have shown in detail that almost all of the
580,000 Jews living in Germany when Hitler became dictator in 1933 could have
been saved. Unfortunately, the American Jewish community regarded German Jews as
undesirables on such grounds as the view
that all German Jews are arrogant. In fact, the leader of American Judaism at
the time, Rabbi Stephen Wise, publicly rejected the immigration of German Jews
to America on the grounds that the German Jews were exaggerating the
persecutions they suffered, and that Catholics and Protestants were also being
persecuted. Since the United States did not enter the Second World War until
December 1941, 9 years passed during which it would have easily been possible to
rescue the 580,000 Jews living among 62 million Christians. Next to nothing was
done to help, so that at the end of the second world war only 5,000 German Jews
survived. When some of these few survivors reached the United States, they were
rejected by the American synagogues and large welfare organizations, and nothing
was done for them unless they had relatives in this country. These Holocaust
survivors had lost all their families to murder and usually came alone. Unlike
the Syrian refugees, who come in families and who are welcomed by our government
and the Jewish community, the German Jewish survivors were on their own. It is
therefore atrocious to compare the German Jewish Holocaust survivors to
the Syrian refugees of today. Now
it is evident that the Democratic Party includes all those who hate Israel and
Jews and who seek our destruction. The evidence for this can easily be found by
reviewing public opinion in America concerning Jews and Israel. For years and
now, over 80% of Republicans view Jews and Israel favorably. This is true of
only 35% of Democrats. Normally,
then, one would expect the overwhelming number of Jews to vote for those who
support us. Yet the vast majority of Jews vote for those who hate us. This,
then, makes American Jews unique, for there is no other ethnic group anywhere
who would vote for its own destruction. Shalom u’vracha. Dr. Gerhard Falk is the author of numerous publications, including The German Jews in America (2014). |
