Friends,
Somehow this article was replaced by another. I've now restored it:
Israeli
Defense Forces recently killed some Egyptian border guards, of some
type, somehow. If the Israelis want a much wider war, they can hardly do
more to start one.
Inshallah, if Allah wills it
The
Muslim people of Egypt want war, or are at least, in classical Muslim
fatalism, ready for it. "Inshallah" means pretty much whatever happens,
Allah has willed it. This is the famous Muslim fatalism. The Egyptian
president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, is in Peking (I know, old
spelling) begging the ravenous Red Dragon for help, along with Saudi
Arabia, etc. Isn't that nice? (Sisi knows he's hated by the
"Muslim-on-the-Street".) Ironically, the Chinese slaughter the Muslim
Uighurs for their organs, and the Muslim world ignores that. Inshallah.
Instead, they focus on Israelis killing Muslims "closer to home". That's
a lot less acceptable. Whatever.
Muslims-on-the-Street
seem to only care about violence to Muslims if Jews or Christians are
somehow involved. All the Middle East is seething over Israel's smashing
of Gaza. Their rulers bide their time; if the opportunity arrives,
however, they themselves would slaughter every Jew "from the River
Jordan to the Mediterranean sea." In a heartbeat. Inshallah!
Other than that, they talk nicely about peace. "Taqiyya" is another
Islamic doctrine: to dissimulate or openly lie for the good of Islam.
As
for Israel, and for Jews in the USA, sometimes having too much is just
too much. Having too much money, too much influence, too much
self-confident chutzpah can bring one down. Hard. Yet to even survive in
an area that hates them so, Israelis have to have all three: more
money, power, pride. The Jews and Israel are in this doom cycle; and, as
I've written before, Jews need Jesus now more than ever. (See my essay
on that: https://corvinescatholiccorner.blogspot.com/2024/04/they-need-christ-more-than-ever-instead.html)
Of course, Our Lord, a Jew Himself, is the last person either Jews or
Muslims would turn to in order to escape all this "blood sacrifice" both
sides are engaging in, and escalating. In this essay, I'll consider the
Jews and Israel. In a subsequent one, the Muslims.
Israel
Israel
is in dire straights, on many levels. The goals of the Hamas terror
attack on October 7 attack last year are still being fulfilled as Israel
in retaliation reduces the Gaza strip to rubble, and accounts multiply
of Israeli atrocities going on there of the worst kind – and growing revelations of Israeli bad behavior in the West Bank – as
bad as anything the Israelis have been on the receiving end of. That
was a Muslim goal of the attack. All of which attracts renewed world
attention in the unique Israeli apartheid state (i.e. the privileged
position of Jews in Israel, which, after all, was founded precisely to
be a Jewish state). This is another Hamas goal. The war is not going the
way Israel wants it, either; in other words, it is dragging on and on.
Hamas is quite pleased. Sun Tzu said a long war benefits no one. Gazans
of all ages die, starve, and suffer, and Israel's casualties increase as
well. They're paying the Gazans back for October 7. "Turn the other
cheek" is not an option with either people. And of course, Hamas is VERY
pleased.
As fighting
in Gaza itself breaks out behind the Israeli advance, Israel is also
attacked by Hezbollah from the north and Iran in the east. (Foolish
American commentators boast how Israel shot down Iran's missiles, but
now Iran knows where Israel's missile counter batteries are, A, and B,
Israel spent incredible amounts of money on its missile counter attack
and it will be difficult to replace its counter-fire missiles.) Israel's
economy is under great stress, if not near meltdown, its people tied up
in the various military fronts, all of which temporarily covers up deep
splits in Israeli society and body politic between its own factions.
- Now
the International Criminal Court is seeking indictments of Prime
Minister Netanyahu and his defense minister. Little will come of this
except bad publicity for Israel. The prosecutor also seeks indictments
against Hamas leaders, but he has been careful to have arranged for a
committee of international lawyers to investigate "genocide" allegations
against Israel, and this committee has now unanimously stated genocide
exists in Gaza. Whether true or not, it is very damaging to Israel's
credibility.
- Israel's neighboring Arab states offer only an
old two-state solution (i.e. the creation of a Palestinian state out of
Gaza, the West Bank, and bits of Israel, like East Jerusalem) that
almost all Israelis categorically reject. As long as Israel exists, no
two-state solution will exist. As long as Israel is the toughest dog in
the yard, however, these other countries will not attack – but if Israel loses or even falters much further in this Gaza war, then all bets are off. Inshallah!
- The leaders of these states could not care less about the actual Gazans and West Bank Arabs – they care about their own people no more than any Muslim terrorist does;
this is traditionally true. There's not much "love" of Arabs for Arabs.
Taqiyya, and all that. Their own Arab populations, however, the
non-terrorist Muslims-on-the-Street, are growing extremely outraged in a
Muslim-level pan-Arab/Muslim sympathy for Palestinian Arabs and
traditional Muslim hatred of Jews. How long can the governments
therefore "keep the lid on"?
America
Meanwhile,
in the USA. the most supportive country of Israel, the Jews are
demanding that Christianity shut down by changing its central teachings.
That's the result of their Congressional Bill in the U.S. that would
label as "antisemitism" any sort of criticism regarding Jews or Israel.
How in the world could Jews do that, and why would they, you
might ask. Is this the time to outrage the average American Christian
against Jews? Again, the American government is committed to Israel, for
the crappy reason of being paid to be so, as I detail below. But the
people? The U.S. Congress is trying to pass a law that would essentially
outlaw Christianity. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your
face!
House Bill 6090
OnePeterFive has a great article (yes, I know, but it is not written by Tim Flanders) on this issue: https://onepeterfive.com/the-house-endorsed-definition-of-antisemitism-provokes-a-rift-with-christianity/. The author, Carina Benton, gives a succinct overview of the problem. The American government seems about to make Christianity – and certainly orthodox, Traditional Catholicism –
illegal because of "antisemitism". They want to make the core teachings
of Christianity into "Thought Crimes" by labeling them "antisemitic", a
"phobia" of Jews. We can add that to Islamophobia and Homophobia and
Trannyphobia, all "thought crimes" that government must pass laws
against. And of course free speech and civil rights be damned. But
notice there's never a Christophobia or Catholicphobia?
We
Catholics hardly need this problem as we have Bergoglio constantly
trying to incinerate us as it is. His recent 60 Minutes interview was
simply grotesque: Bergoglio's silly double-talk makes a laughing stock
of the Church; just about everything out of his mouth screams "I am not a
pope, haha!" so of course the hierarchy keeps the Toad in place, to the
detriment of the entire world and the Church's own demise. Though he'll
never be charged with it, Bergoglio exhibits a perfect Catholicphobia,
all right.
Now
we have Jews telling us, as a certain Rabbi Michael Barclay told
conservative pundit Candace Owens that essential Christian teaching – from the beginning of the Faith, you understand – is the reason for the world's antisemitism.
(Owens rebelled at that, and eventually after various twists and turns,
got fired from where she worked.) Basically, if this Bill 6090 becomes
law, then the Gospels, especially the Gospel of St. John and much of the
writing of St. Paul, etc., becomes illegal antisemitism because they
teach that the Jews got the Romans to kill Christ, and are described
generally as religiously blind and lost souls cut off from the ancient
covenants that define them as a people. (For details on how religious
Jews view Christianity, which they consider an anti-Jewish pagan
idolatry, see: https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-noahide-laws-a-universal-religion-without-christ/; the Noahide Laws are what they want to replace Christianity and Islam with.)
Even strongly pro-Israel and yet conservative American
pundits like John Zmirak are opposed to H.B. 6090. Its passage caused
him to write this article: https://stream.org/unconstitutional-speech-ban-it-may-sound-good-but-dont-fall-into-this-hate-speech-booby-trap/
Zmirak might well condemn me as a vile Jew hater, but he still protests
this anti-free speech bill that the Jewish lobby is buying from
Congress. I think this thought-police ploy just backfires on everyone,
however, especially the people paying for it. It's all so
self-defeating, an "own goal".
So, why do it?
- Ostensibly, this is about the raging antisemitism on America's elite college campuses, Academia's mix of Israeli politics and war as way to "tar and feather" American Jews, and the general social violence and rising crime and open assault on American streets.
- Jewish
students have been harassed or beat up or threatened, and riots ensue.
It's been developing over time. In New York, Blacks have attacked Jews
often enough that it has become a problem before the latest Israeli war.
- Basically, for modern-day Jews in urban America it is become about like what it was for Catholics during the Know-Nothing era before the U.S. Civil War. Back then, no "phobia" gambit existed; now, however, we get House Bill 6090.
- One would deduce the importation of Muslims into America has a lot to do with this, and it massively does – the extreme antisemitism in Europe is a direct result of the Islamification of Europe –
but you can't say that without being politically incorrect and perhaps
investigated by the FBI. Taqiyya has Deep State teeth! In England, they
appear to be going to pass an "anti-Islamophobia" law as strict at H.B.
6090. What irony! A world in which neither Jews nor Muslims can be
criticized! But Christianity can be emasculated. Literally, with Christ
reduced entirely.
Do Jews Want To Be Hated?
The
burden of this essay weighs the question: Do the Jews who are getting
Congress to pass this House Bill 6090 (as they have done in a number of
states already with something similar) want to make themselves hated –
actually hated, as opposed to just resented or considered an annoyance.
I ask because this legislation attacks directly their strongest U.S.
supporters, Evangelical Christians. Oh, sure, the American Jewish Lobby,
AIPAC, owns most politicians and can buy their "support". But real
support, emotional and spiritual support, the true "friends of Israel"
are the Christians. And this attempt at thought control will just tick
them off.
- The Catholic Church's Vatican II hierarchy has bent over backwards to be nice to the Jews, doing a series of mea culpas for the Holocaust (even though pagan Nazis inflicted that horror and Christians saved many Jews, something Pope Pius XII personally did). All that, only for all Christians to be formally told, "You guys and your false religion is the root of the whole antisemitic phenomenon, and we need to pass that into law."
Human Nature, People; It Isn't Nice, But it IS predictable
Jews – i.e. speaking collectively of Jewish movers and shakers, opinion and policy makers – don't seem to realize that being the single most privilege ethnic group in the U.S. and in the West generally – as they most certainly are on many levels, in terms of influence, education, and income –
people can get very tired of an ethnic group bearing such weighty
influence that yet also claims victimization status. I refer to their
constant "wailing and gnashing of teeth" shtick about how the world
hates Jews. This is, after all, the rationale for Israel: a safe-haven
for Jews in a hostile world. Well, beware of human nature. Keep telling
the world they hate you and they might just develop a hatred for you!
That's not news; it is hardly antisemitic. It's human nature. And it is
predictable.
- The Black Americans a century and a half ago were literally slaves, then 3rd class citizens for another century.
- Beginning
in the 1960s, they began to be placed on a pedestal by Democrats, given
welfare money and Affirmative Action. The Democrats ironically are the
ones who enslaved them and kept they on cotton plantations; a century
later they re-enslaved them and stuck them on asphalt plantations. And
equally incongruous, at the same time, the Democrats made them feel
privileged, in perpetual need of assistance.
- So,
after decades of special status, hiring, college admissions, etc.,
human nature kicked in and Whites (and certainly Asians and Latinos)
began to resent all that special status, and began to seriously tire of
the 'We're so oppressed" shtick. Again, that's human nature. Again, it
is predictable.
Persecution Is Now Real
Now Jews are facing a serious rise in actual, real-time true Jew-hating antisemitism throughout the entire West – mainly
because of Israel's wars in the Mideast. But other causes exist, as
well. They are now running out of friends, both Israel as a country and
Jews in general. They can buy political support – to a point. But
real friends? They seem to endorse Lord Palmerston's famous comment
(short version): "England has no friends, only interests." And
"interests" are fickle, especially bought ones.
So,
sensing the mood changing indeed, the Jews now will antagonize even
more people. And again, remember, they are the most privileged minority
group in the Western world. Jewish bankers actually won the
Russo-Japanese War for the Japanese, for a well-known example. The
Japanese won the battles at sea and on land, but were bankrupt. Jewish
bankers in New York, hating the Imperial Russians for persecuting Jews,
loaned the Japanese government the money keeping the war going long
enough for advantageous negotiations. Now, that is clout!
- In
the U.S. Congress, House of Representatives, they've produced this
House Bill 6090 that's gone to the Senate. It casts an extremely wide
net about "antisemitism": talking or writing in any way that is critical
or maliciously critical of Jews, like, you know, Jews run the banks!
Jews run entertainment! Jews run academia! Jews run the American
Government! Israel bosses the U.S. around! Myself just writing this
essay, the law would make me an antisemite. And soon it might land me in
jail.
Oh, wait, you thought all that was true? That some privileged Jews, and no, hardly all Jews all the time, but their power brokers, have stupendous influence in everyone's lives? You thought that was self-evident?
- Well,
regarding banking, it is true in the sense that banks have
traditionally been Jewish strongholds because in Medieval times,
Christians couldn't charge each other interest, but Jews could. (The
Reformation changed that, and thus the Protestant countries developed
capitalism economically faster than the Catholic ones could.) And also
Jews were restricted in the occupations they were allowed to do, so many
went into banking. Think of the international banking family of
Rothschild; that's how they started. Or think of George Soros today. Not
all bankers are Jews, obviously, but still even now they have a
tremendous deal of financial clout. They've been on the inside of that
business for literally centuries. And Congressmen dance to the tune of
those who give them money, not "the folks back home".
- Jews also indeed are influential in the entertainment industry, which caused the Catholics to form the Legion of Decency, an organization that Archbishop of Cincinnati John T. McNicholas founded in 1933. Why was this so? Hollywood and movies were a big deal in the 1920s and '30s, of course, but Jewish producers and writers always tended to push the carnal envelope simply because the "Judeo-Christian" morality is something of a myth.
- It's a myth because many
versions and types of Judaism exist, so which "Judeo" does the phrase
refer to? Clearly, for every straight-laced Orthodox Jew there's a large
number not so "inhibited" by Judaism's 613 laws. These less religious
or non-religious Jews – most Jews are "non-religious" – saw sex-related things a bit differently than Christians did, which is an understatement. Sex sells, and they sold it.
- Archbishop McNicholas was opposed to that. So, Catholics created an organization to oppose their influence and try to restrict what the Church saw as immoral or irreverent content. It is a simple equation: in its heart, Western Civilization is the product of Medieval and Counter-Reformation Catholicism, which had a fading echo effect in Protestantism. (I.e. Protestant countries became more sexually "progressive" than Catholic ones.) Judaism had a completely different culture and religion to begin with. (The Torah allows divorce, for example, and even polygamy; see: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/770990/jewish/Why-Does-Torah-Law-Allow-Polygamy.htm) And on top of that, non-religious Jews carried the day culturally. They had their own much more materialistic culture than religious Jews did. A powerful dynamic of cultural change brought on by making money, and a warping of cultural standards, resulted, such that when one considers the entertainment industry of today: it produces by and large either mindless titillating trash or a constant engine of violence and an obscene sexualizing of the kids.
- And the same could be said of
academia, too. Although Orthodox Jews, like Catholics, created their own
educational institutions, less religious Jews, many of them Socialist
or Communist, coming into the country at the turn of the 19th to 20th
centuries, had by the 1950s and '60s changed American academia massively
from what it had been. But that's not from JEWISH believers'
perspective, you see? Again, most Jews are not "religious", actually.
And a lot of Jews were Socialist because they had abandoned their
religion over in Europe.
- Then, finally, of course the American Government. It is heavily influenced by The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Jewish lobbying group. On a recent show of his, Judge Andrew Napolitano discussed with Colonel Douglas Macgregor how those Republican Congressmen, about 15 or 20, who recently voted against House Bill 6090 and also against more money for Israel were removed from AIPAC's website as punishment for their vote. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uswQ9w5wETI at 33:15 minutes in.)
- At AKA Catholic, Louie Verrecchio has an article: https://akacatholic.com/antisemitism-awareness-attempt-to-silence-god/ on this, and mentions one Benjamin Freedman, a Jewish convert to Christianity, who said back in 1961 that: "Here in the United States, the Zionists and their coreligionists have complete control of our government." Listen to Freedman's speech here: https://soundcloud.com/zionistreport/benjamin-freedmans-1961-speech-at-the-willard-hotel-complete/sets.
So, round and round it goes. The most privileged ethnic (some might say religious
but they're not really that "religious") group in the Western world is
wealthy enough to buy legislation that not only silences critics, but
makes illegal the core tenants of the world largest religion (assuming
Christianity has more believers than Islam, which is a question these
days). Certainly, I would be considered an antisemite for even writing
this, or at least not in condemning antisemitism every other sentence.
It's absurd, and that very absurdity will hurt the Jews themselves, like
an ancient Greek drama where the hero does something to avoid a nasty
fate, but the thing he does is the very act that makes the fate
inevitable.
