A Hate with No Name
Edmund
Connelly
October 6, 2008
In a recent editorial on this site,
The Sandra Bernhard Monstrosity, the editors addressed
the vicious attack on Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, a
practicing Christian mother of five. In essence, Ms. Bernhard, who is
Jewish, called Palin a goy whore
—
certainly not an affectionate label.
Quoting evolutionary psychologist
Kevin
MacDonald, the editorial zeroed in on the font of such
hostility: “Indeed,
hatred toward the peoples and cultures of non-Jews ... has been the Jewish
norm throughout history . . . this sort of hostility to whites and to
Christianity is a mainstream Jewish phenomenon.”
Sadly, to any serious student of history, this appears to be a truism. And yet we are not even equipped with a phrase to describe this hatred. Publicly discredited former politician David Duke made an interesting point in this respect: “Funny, there is no word for being anti-Gentile found in the dictionary as there is for being anti-Semitic.”
If one were to read Duke’s voluminous writings, one would have to agree. Yet
I’d wager that most of you who just read Duke’s name involuntarily cringed.
Why? An instance of social conditioning? In my opinion, it is. And I think
it’s linked to Duke’s point about Bernhard — we lack a term for this rabid
hatred.
If no label exists for a phenomenon, how important can it be? Further, how
can it be addressed? But now more than ever, we Americans had best begin to
pay heed to widespread Jewish hatred of Gentiles.
Consider, for example, the recent output of the King of Jewish Letters,
Philip Roth. Back in the late 1960s when he was really making a name for
himself, he wrote mockingly of his parents’
déclassé and passé
racist attitudes towards blacks and Gentiles. After all, one of the most
famous passages in his novel
Portnoy’s Complaint is Roth mocking his parents’
constant refrain:
“If it's bad it's the
goyim, if it's good it's the Jews!”
Fast-forward a generation and Roth has become the paranoid and hate-filled
Jew he had railed against forty years ago. This was abundantly clear by
the time he released
The Plot Against America
(2005). Never mind that white Christian boys and men went to
die for the Jews’ enemy in World War II in a very
unnecessary war. Roth is still consumed with a vision
of a Jew-hating goyish nation led by Charles Lindbergh.
Roth’s hatred was so palpable that
the review
of The Plot Against America
that appeared in The American
Conservative concluded, “This is a repellent novel, bigoted and libelous
of the dead, dripping with hatred of rural America, of Catholics, of any
Middle American who has ever dared stand against the war machine.”
Creep ahead to this year and we’re treated to yet more goy hatred in Roth’s
latest,
Indignation, a book that even half-Jewish
Christopher Hitchens hated. Attending a college in small-town
America, Roth’s Jewish protagonist can barely stand the WASP locals:
More than a few times during the first weeks, I thought I heard myself being
summoned to one of the rowdier tables with the words “Hey, Jew! Over here!”
But, preferring to believe the words spoken had been simply “Hey, you! Over
here!” I persisted with my duties, determined to abide by the butcher-shop
lesson learned from my father: slit the ass open and stick your hand up and
grab the viscera and pull them out; nauseating and disgusting, but it had to
be done.
Now realize that it is Jews of Roth’s milieu that rule America, occupying
the top ranks of academia, journalism, the legal system, Wall Street,
Washington, as well as Hollywood and TV. Shouldn’t this give the white
Christian majority pause?
To restate, "a
profound sense of historical grievance—hatred by any other name"—is
the norm among Jewish groups. In a rare stance by a prominent scholar, James
Petras makes this general statement specific by arguing that the ultimate
cause of Israeli ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians is “the pervasiveness
of racist attitudes which had characterized Zionist extremism since its
inception.”
Petras’s recognition that the source of the problem is “Jewish
distrust
of the non-Jewish world [and] their unwillingness to compromise” is
consistent with the views of John Murray Cuddihy, author of the seminal work on
modern Jews,
The Ordeal of Civility.
Thus, wherever Jews go, ethnic strife follows because masses of Jews, goaded
on by the extremists among them, perceive themselves to be in an existential
struggle with the host population around them.
As an acquaintance so indelicately put it, “Jews lust to fight the war
[against white Christians]
with every molecule in their Jewish brains. The vast majority of white
Gentiles barely know it exists. Raise your hand if you think that poses a
problem for a promising white future.”
This sad state of affairs was again driven home for me when I read the
latest issue of E. Michael Jones’s
Culture Wars.
A letter to the editor reads as follows:
A Jewish man murdered his two children because they were being reared as
Catholics by his ex-wife. He claimed that he would rather see them dead than
Catholic. As incredible as it may sound, the court room was filled with his
supporters from the Jewish community. Yes, that’s right, supporters. The
judge, who was Jewish, allowed him to get away with outbursts insulting his
grieving ex-wife and her family, to the applause of the spectators. It was
an absolutely appalling scene.
I think that most Christians simply do not understand the virulence of
Jewish hatred for Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular.
And, because of media campaigns making “anti-Semitism” the worst sin
possible in this society, they are unprepared to stand up to it. This hatred
dates back right to the origins of Christianity and has been held onto and
indeed nourished by the Jewish community down through the millennia. It is a
major part of Jewish identity to blame everything bad that has ever happened
to Jews on the Catholic Church.
(Go ahead and look it up; even
the New York
Times carried the story, where the father was quoted
as saying “As thousands of my ancestors did before me, I chose death over
conversion; mine and theirs!”)
I worry about the power of Jews in America and the presence of so much
hatred directed at us white Christians, particularly as I come across small
headlines in the news such as
“New, controversial FBI guidelines go into effect.” The
story relates how U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey — who “just happens
to be Jewish” — is selling the change in security guidelines as a means to
“better protect the country from terrorist attacks.”
As a Senate critic notes, "It appears that with these guidelines, the
attorney general is once again giving the FBI broad new powers to conduct
surveillance and use other intrusive investigative techniques on Americans
without requiring any indication of wrongdoing or any approval even from FBI
supervisors.”
The same day, CNN ran a story titled
"Army combat unit to deploy within U.S." As critics of this
move note, however, America has long resisted the stationing of active-duty
military as a domestic police force. Even the U.S. Northern Command’s own
website seems to contradict the recent move: “Per the
Posse Comitatus Act, military forces can provide civil support,
but cannot become
directly involved in law enforcement.”
The military website is liberally sprinkled with references to “homeland
security,” a phrase which inevitably brings to mind our own Department of
Homeland Security, that gargantuan federal apparatus run by Michael Chertoff
(who also “just happens to be Jewish”).
Pairing, then, the fact of great Jewish power in America — especially with
respect to organs of potential repression such as the Justice Department and
the Department of Homeland Security — with a seemingly ingrained hatred of
white Christians, I can’t help but worry that the future of white, Christian
America will be far less bright than it is today. And I think we need a name
for the hatred directed against us.
