Hebrewism

One of the many strange things to come out of the short war between Israel and Iran is the fact that many of our politicians seem to worship Jewish people. It could also be that they worship Israel or perhaps some combination of both. They talk about Israel and the Jewish people as if they are gods sent to earth as a test. Those who commit themselves to protecting these magical beings are the people of the light, while everyone else is in the forever darkness.

This is not a new thing. It has always been assumed that Washington loves Israel because Israel pays cash for its politicians and there is nothing a politician loves more than cash, except maybe the person handing him the cash. The Israel lobby has been one of the most fearsome advocacy groups in America for a long time. Men like Joe Sobran and Pat Buchanan questioned their influence and were then run out of town for the crime of mentioning the Israel lobby.

The most recent example of this is Ted Cruz, who went on the Tucker Carlson show and bragged that his sole purpose for being in the Senate is to serve Israel. “I came into Congress 13 years ago with the stated intention of being the largest defender of Israel in the United States.” The cavalier way in which he says these things tells us that it is the default position for Washington pols. His subsequent attempts to justify this on religious grounds say there is more to it.

This is where most people shift the focus from old fashion graft to the political marketplace, which in this case means Christian Zionism. This is the heresy that claims the establishment of Israel and the return of the Jewish diaspora to the Holy Land signals the Second Coming. Not content to let events take their course, believers assume they have a duty to help this process along. Their fanatical support for pro-Israel politicians is part of the scheme.

It is a weird cult, for sure, but how many people follow it is unknown. The numbers cannot be large enough to explain the behavior of Washington. Another culprit is Dispensationalism, which is a madhouse collection of crackpot ideas loosely based in the uneducated reading of Scripture. Despite its fringe status, it has had a strong influence on Evangelicals, who do make up a sizable voting bloc. These voters have had a big influence on Republican political theatrics.

Still another cause is dominion theology, which is a low church Protestant version of Catholic integralism that has existed in Europe for centuries. This is the political argument that says America should be governed by Christians and organized around their understanding of Scripture. Since there is a lot of overlap between these people and the Christian Zionist, the result is an assertion that it is the Christian duty of Americans to support Israel.

The trouble with these explanations is that politicians ignore the voters all the time because most are not subject to a genuine political marketplace. Only ten percent of elected officials face competitive races. The rest are in seats held by one party of the other in perpetuity, so they have no reason to fear the voters. Ted Cruz, for example, just has to make the transplants in Dallas and Houston happy and these are not people spending their nights reading Scripture.

While it is risky to oppose the Israel lobby, no politician risks anything by ignoring the Christian Zionist voters or any voting bloc. Republicans worry more about the black vote, which goes 90% Democrat, than their white Christian voters. The reason for that is they worry about being called racist by their pals in Washington. They could, if they chose, take the same approach to the Israel lobby, if official Washington decided they have had enough of the Israel business.

Not even Democrats, who have always made antiwar noises, bothered to speak up in the last round of warmongering. Many joined their Republican colleagues in pledging undying support for Israel. They went well beyond what is typically expected from the Israel lobby to the point where it looked as if most of our elected officials had joined a cult that worships Jewish people. Many of them sounded deranged as they screamed for blood in another pointless war of choice.

That may be the missing piece to this. Washington is deep into the racket stage of imperial decline, which means everyone inside Washington looks at the political system in the same way the locals look at the Walmart in a ghetto riot. There is no higher purpose to the life of the politician, as he is just a vehicle for pillaging what remains of the white middle-class and the old America they represent. Israel worship may fill the void that exist where republican virtue once existed.

It is not a simple, linear explanation for the behavior, which is what most people prefer, but it does tie these other causes together. The calls and emails these politicians get from nutty Christian Zionist are validation for their sincere professions of faith in the great people of Israel. The max donation handshakes they get from men in little hats after each speech on behalf of Israel is proof that they are on the side of angels, rather than paid spokesman for a parasitic economic elite.

No man, not even the most debased and corrupt, views himself as the villain in the great story of his life. For Washington politicians, whose lives are defined by the corruption that is Washington, Hebrewism offers a way to see themselves, even for a little while, as selfless heroes. Ted Cruz got to feel like the white hat for a day after that Tucker Carlson sit-down, even though his voters savaged him. He can live without the love of his voters, as long as he has his little gods in little hats.

The actions and words of these politicians pledging loyalty to Israel doesn’t sound so much like being bought off as it does being fearful. Fearful in a sense of harm than just being politically ruined. Those multiple standing ovations for Netanyahu in speeches at the Capital were Stalin like.

The founding of Israel was the founding of a terrorist state. Terrorizing British politicians (letter bombs?) was only part of it. Look at what Mossad did, killing scientists and diplomats in Iran to achieve objectives. They will do it to anybody, anywhere and that point was driven home long ago.

The founding of Israel was the founding of a terrorist state.”

Right in the 1920s and 1930s, when gangs like Stern and Irgun started terrorizing and murdering Palestinian villagers. Quite a few Israeli prime ministers belonged to one of these gangs in their youth — Begin, Shamir, probably others as well. That is to say, these gangs are at the foundation of the Israeli state. And the modus operandi remains the same — assassination and terror.

That’s an important point, and gets to one of the main problems: it is easy to indiscriminately murder people you consider subhuman, and to destroy their cultures. Whether it is a religious Jew who thinks he is Chosen, or an atheistic Ashkenazim who thinks he is superior, the sense of racial entitlement is the foundation and raison d’etre of Israel and its assets in the diaspora.

I don’t buy the fear explanation. Israel is a flyspeck and Jews are an infinitesimal fraction of the world population. If the white elite in AINO really wanted to, they could squash Israel like a scorpion and scatter the Jews to the four winds. They have the power to do this. The fact that they don’t strongly suggests to me that worship rather than fear is the primary motivation for the unmoored adulation of Our Greatest Ally.

We are in the early stages of watching the sun set on Israel worship. Poll after poll shows the further someone is from drawing Social Security the more they oppose Our Greatest Ally.

Judaism and Christianity share several fundamental similarities, stemming from their common roots in Abrahamic tradition. Both are monotheistic religions, believing in one God, the creator of the universe. They also share a foundational text, the Hebrew Bible (known as the Tanakh in Judaism and the Old Testament in Christianity), and emphasize ethical behavior and moral teachings.  Here’s a more detailed breakdown: Monotheism: Both religions firmly believe in one God, the creator of all things.  Shared Scripture: Both consider the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) a sacred text, though interpretations and some books may differ.  Ethical Frameworks: Both religions emphasize ethical behavior, with teachings… Read more »

They kind of sort of share some things maybe. The true foundational text for the jews is the talmud, not the OT.

Your list is so generic you could say the same for just about any organized religion, perhaps with the exception of Jesus and monotheism (pagans believed in “family values” as do atheists). Not to mention, things such as “peace” mean different things to jews than to Christians (and other normal people). To jews, it means ruling the world and every non-jew bowing and scraping to them.

Rubbish. The Jews’ religion has been based upon either the Babylonian Talmud or upon the Palestinian Talmud since the third century. Their religion is therefore younger than Christianity, and the Christian Old Testament is NOT regarded by present-day Judaism as Scripture. You can look ALL of this up in the Jewish Encyclopedia, where you will also read that today’s Judaism is Phariseeism.

The Great Commission, if you ask me, was Jesus saying, “If I couldn’t get through to them, you can’t. Go preach to the Gentiles.” Hence John’s gospel for the Greeks, the Peter/Paul fight you mention. (If judaizing is a heresy, that makes Peter a heretic btw.) In any case, both had an axe to grind with the Jews, that Jesus didn’t, but it got passed down.

I include “apeing” or “caricature” as each tries to mirror the other – it’s a case of identities, that is, who do they identify as in the movie in their mind? The original dominant stock? Its caricature? The caricature of the caricature? The revision, or the revision of the revision?

To further confuse the issue, racial identity. For example, the Elamites were mixed Semitic-Aryan, while the Medes, Persians, and Parthians were dominantly Aryan. Who came first?

We ask the same questions in our multicultural, mixed-race society. Who marries whom, from where?

As that pithy old meme goes, the “Judeo” in Judeochristianity – if Jesus Christ getting nailed to the cross by Romans doing the bidding of jews. Historically Christians understood the nature of the jew as did pretty much everyone else. They got run out of 109 countries because they inevitably attack their hosts and/or allies. Back at Christmas our elders noticed the wave of antisemitism rising and got up there to pound the lectern and bloviate about how Jesus was a jew, how EVERYONE sinned in the crucifixion, blah blah blah.

I used to do that too, when I worshipped them as the light.

One Texan at the next table leaned over and said, “Those Jews sure made a mistake, didn’t they?”

I said, “This is what they were made to do. Through victory and defeat, they were forged, made strong enough to do what had to be done- strong enough to kill God, fulfilling His will.”

I thought I was being very rabbinical and clever.

In the big picture, the societal impact of Jews and Muslims living among Whites is not a good fit. Whites are high-trust, relatively not ethnocentric and tend to get taken advantage of by these groups. Whites are designed for a world of their own, to borrow a phrase from Tim Murdock.

In the small details, you might be friends with specific Jewish or Muslim people, but zooming out, big picture, they don’t belong in the West.

Couple of issues. First, even if whites continued their love affair with Israel (not likely), whites will soon be at best 50% of the population.

Second, in the future, the US simply won’t be capable to helping Israel to anything near what we can do now. Our military is fading. Also, missile technology is leveling the playing field.

The browning of America won’t hurt Jewish power. Even Muslims, since they are here for the gibs and the better lifestyle go along. All you have to do is look at the gulf nations. Their populations hate israel but that doesn’t stop the governments from cooperating with israel while pretending to care about the Palestinians.

The threat to Jewish power may come from Chinese and Indian competition. However, no matter how much they compete for the levers of power, Chinese and Indians will support Israel for peace with the Jews.

Most of the time, politicians are members of the party that can get them elected. For instance, if Newsom was a Texan he’d be a Republican, and if Cruz a Californian he’d be a Democrat. Following that, does this trend inevitably lead to a day when more white baizuo pols become Republicans, since they have no chance of getting elected any other way? Making the GOP even more useless than it already is. I see this as more likely than the baizuo undergoing some kind of ideological conversion.

I’m afraid we are a psychologically warped and damaged people who worship the fiends most dedicated to our dispossession and subjugation.

This is the sad place where I have arrived, Ostei.

Just as genetics mean that Sub-Saharan Africans never will overcome their propensity for violence and low intelligence, and Jews never will shake off their predatory sociopathy and assimilate into Western societies, whites are too biologically wired for suicidal behavior to survive over the long haul unless their is a massive cull of their population. Both prongs of the Judeo-Puritan overclass carry the seeds of their own destruction, different in nature but equally deadly, and it is dubious blacks can maintain even the rough ruins of white society.

A good bit of truth to that. But oddly enough, the Shoah mythopeia didn’t commence in 1946. It took another 15 to 20 years before America’s popular culture and its educational apparatus began promulgating the idea that the Holocaust was the uniquely evil event of human history, that white Americans were somewhat complicit, and that they owed eternal restitution to the Jews. In other words, the centrality of the Shoah to America’s master narrative didn’t manifest until Leftists–many of whom were Jewish–colonized the country’s institutions.

Even more salient than corruption is blackmail. Every new politician arriving in DC gets invited to a series of carefully curated cocktail parties in which they are surreptitiously drugged and then put into a compromising situation involving underage children and photographed or videoed. Most are largely unconscious during these staged events, but a few become willing participants. And everyone knows who is behind these blackmail ops. Blackmail is far more powerful than simple greed.
