Guess what? Despite the genocide, Jews are the still most moral people in the history of the world.

The Real Reason Jews Are Hated

“Jewish people brought morality to the world thousands of years ago, and some people are still mad about it.” — Safra Catz, CEO of Oracle, ynetnews.com, January 27, 2024.

  • Even trying to conduct the most moral war in history, and sending humanitarian aid to the Gazans trying to kill them, all of Israel’s enemies consider themselves free of such constraints. (Someone asked if the British had ever sent aid to Germany in WWII.)
  • “Israel Has Created a New Standard for Urban Warfare. Why Will No One Admit It?” — John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, Newsweek, March 25, 2024.
  • “The Jews represent everything the enemies of American civilization seek to destroy: the moral code of the Hebrew Bible, which the anti-Jews seek to replace with woke secularism or radical Islam.” — Eric Cohen, editor-at-large of The New Atlantis, Mosaic, May 2024.
  • “Palestinians are not about creating a state; they’re about destroying a state” — Israeli
    • Israel and the Jews are fighting to save Western Civilization — for us. If we would let them.
    “The hate of the Jews is the most ancient and continuous hate in human history, and you can dress it up any way you want…. It is basically exactly what it has always been — the Jewish people brought morality to the world thousands of years ago and some people are still mad about it.” — Safra Catz, CEO of the US technology giant Oracle.

    “The hate of the Jews,” Safra Catz, CEO of the US technology giant Oracle, pointed out in 2024, “is the most ancient and continuous hate in human history, and you can dress it up any way you want…. It is basically exactly what it has always been — the Jewish people brought morality to the world thousands of years ago and some people are still mad about it.”

    Not only did the Jews introduce moral and ethical precepts; they also brought to the world at large that there were prohibitions on behavior in which many of us might wish to indulge. The deep hatred of Jews stems from fanatical followers of other faiths, and perhaps those of no faith at all, but especially those zealots whose religious worldview compels them to conquer and destroy those of competing faiths, or for undesirable tendencies that they see in themselves but prefer to attribute to others.

    In short, at least three millennia ago, at Mount Sinai in Egypt, the Hebrew prophet Moses received specific moral-ethical precepts by which the Jewish nation were directed to live. These codes comprised virtues much later identified in the West as the Ten Commandments and became the foundational values and the essential moral guide of Western civilization, its societies, and laws.

    All in all, Rabbis counted 613 laws handed down to Moses, the principal command of which is, “G-d is one” — meaning He is the only G-d. You are not allowed to name or envisage G-d or you would be presuming to put yourself on the same level, and know what cannot be known by mere men. This directive is expanded to “you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength.” From this declaration, it follows that the Jewish nation is not to tolerate any other god.

    The West’s value system emanates directly from Jerusalem, the ancient capital of the Jewish nation. Perhaps one of the appeals of some other religions is that they not only permit but actually sanctify actions that many of us might wish for but are prohibited in the West: sex with young girls, rape of people of other religions, slavery, physical violence against — or even death for — people who think differently.

    The West is therefore deeply indebted to the Jews and Jerusalem as the source of values, morals, human rights, the Judeo-Christian ethos with its ethical virtues, individual liberty, and the democratic tradition itself — all of which distinguish what is exceptional in the West.

    In this sense, the Jewish people as original recipients and eternal custodians of morality, after the earlier laws of Hammurabi, are endowed with an enduring responsibility to the nations of the world. In Hebrew, this unique obligation is referred to as am segulah, which means Jews “have a special role” and “obligations that other nations do not have.”

    Consequent to the events at Mount Sinai, the culture of Western nations strongly reflected the religious beliefs of their citizens whose moral and humanist values were originally based on the Torah’s Ten Commandments, and are known as the Judeo-Christian tradition.

    In the United Kingdom, this conviction led to the publication in 1215 of the Magna Carta – a declaration documenting the liberties to be held by “free men” and also “provided the foundation for individual rights in Anglo-American jurisprudence.”

    In America, the authority of the Ten Commandments in defining truth, justice coupled to mercy, and morality, became the bedrock of its founding constitutional documents and highlighted Judeo-Christian character. The emphasis on natural law — “Natural Law theory asserts that God’s moral inclinations are intrinsically woven into the design of nature and creation, therefore, we can ascertain God’s intentions for humanity by closely examining the universe, its ordering, and its inhabitants” — reflected in the Ten Commandments, is a core factor in US Constitutional matters.

    America’s 1776 Declaration of Independence firmly placed its founding upon underlying structures — the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them” — and the value and dignity of the individual:

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

    Hence, the theistic principles of natural law formatively inspired America’s core constitutional documents as John Adams, the second US President, raised this point when in 1797 he declared, “knowledge, virtue, and religion” are “the only means of preserving our Constitution from its natural enemies.”

    It is to be expected that Israel, and its military, value the pertinence of Mosaic ethical codes. How the Gaza War has been conducted has earned the IDF the accolade — from a retired British Army officer, Colonel Richard Kemp — of “the world’s most moral army.”

    John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, wrote, “Israel Has Created a New Standard for Urban Warfare. Why Will No One Admit It?”

    Even trying to conduct the most moral war in history, and sending humanitarian aid to the Gazans trying to kill them, all of Israel’s enemies consider themselves free of such constraints. (Someone asked if the British had ever sent aid to Germany in WWII.)

    As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarked, “the only ones who are being deliberately starved in Gaza are our hostages.”

    Through the years, the IDF has acted commendably despite unspeakable battle conditions. “Nearly every second house in Gaza is booby trapped,” according to IDF Spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin. The IDF are rightly called the “most moral army in history.” A “perfect” army? No, but one endeavoring, as much as possible, to adhere to super-moral values in the battlefield. The IDF sent literally hundreds of thousands of leaflets, text messages in Arabic, and “knocks on the roof” to warn Gazans to evacuate targeted area and buildings. Meanwhile, Hamas terrorists shoot at their own people trying to flee to safety or seeking humanitarian aid.

    Rabbi Leo Dee remarked:

    “Just like our ancestors, the mighty Maccabees, armed with a Torah in one hand and an Iron Dome missile interception battery in the other, the Israeli people are defending the only true morality.”

    For millennia, a great privilege, but also a great burden, was bestowed on the Jews. They have had a divine obligation: to carry the laws from Sinai from generation to generation “A small Jewish nation,” commentator Larry Greenfield explains, “[has] become a light unto the nations.” Eric Cohen, editor-at-large of The New Atlantis, wrote:

    “To be a Jew is to be a defender of a transcendent idea and a unique people, with the odds stacked against it but with history, faith, courage, pride, heroism, and sheer perseverance on its side: a purpose like no other.”

    As Cohen wrote last year:

    “The Jews represent everything the enemies of American civilization seek to destroy: the moral code of the Hebrew Bible, which the anti-Jews seek to replace with woke secularism or radical Islam…. As go the Jews, so goes the West. The radical activists and their academic apologists understand this deep civilizational truth—and so must we.”

    Protecting our civilization might be the core reason why Jewish people and the State of Israel deserve every possible support from the nations of the West. As perpetual custodians of morality, their fate is a harbinger of our ultimate fate. This early-warning signal might be why Islamists, and other religious fanatics, are determined to eradicate the Jews — and Christians — from the face of the earth. “Palestinians are not about creating a state; they’re about destroying a state,” Netanyahu asserted.

    Israel and the Jews are fighting to save Western Civilization — for us. If we would let them.

    How can you be a force for good and bad at the same time?

    [Bolshevism] among the Jews is nothing new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxemburg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing.[43]

      @ Marcali
      Yes, we’ve all seen Churchill’s famous statement 105 years ago. Zzzzz. Tension between groups of Jews, notably Zionists and Internationalists, have taken a different shape since WW2 and later Soviet championship of Arab nationalism.
      Judeophobia in the ancient world, medieval Christendom, post-Enlightenment and in the face of Israel have similar but also different features. The Ten Commandments (or at any rate most of them) were quite a useful list, and Christians have followed suit. Jews have been disliked primarily because of their ethnocentric arrogance and financial malpractice. Someone said they suffer from self-righteous political autism, but there are many exceptions, usually denounced as self-haters. For an enquiring novice, I would recommend MacDonald’s “Critique”, Bernard Lazare, Dan Cohn-Sherbok (2007), Peter Schaefer, Gilad Atzmon, Peter Winter, Jerry Muller, Jonathan Goldberg and Nesta Webster – a small assortment selected from the 6 million titles available.

    The Magna Carta is very anti-semitic. These Jews are inveterate liars using that document to uphold their parasitism.

    Entertaining theories that sometimes make you smile. I find it difficult to apply such generalizing categorizations. I am understood pretty much everywhere, provided it is within our cultural sphere. By that I mean, of course, northwestern Europe and the English-speaking countries overseas.

    One could also say the “Germanic” countries. Even a Pole or an Italian can be very foreign to me. However, I would argue that it is less culture than ideology that forms a peer group. In other words, the way of thinking largely stems from one’s outlook on life and political stance.

    Thus, there is no misunderstanding between Americans and me, provided that our basic intentions are the same. Between me and a fellow countryman with vastly divergent political convictions, the conflict can be much more irreconcilable. Much of what I say to Americans is not understood at all by many of my fellow countrymen.

    You put on the glove of the English language, so to speak, but still live out your mentality, which is inseparably intertwined with you. I like to communicate in English as a kind of mental exercise: “How do I have to express myself so that I am understood?”

    But I enjoy talking as imaginatively as possible in my native language just as much. In principle, I always remain the same: I would express exactly what I want to say in any language. If I had to work in a Chinese company, I would have to bend over backwards.

    But your environment rubs off on you, and if all Chinese people conceal their true thoughts out of respect, you end up doing the same. As a great lover of East Asian cuisine, I often visit Asian shops, where many of these hypocritically grinning, slant-eyed dwarf people communicate.

    Fortunately, I don’t understand a word, but just think: “These people have a strange way of quacking, like on the duck pond in the garden.” But since these people are very distant and at the same time taciturn and non-confrontational, I don’t care whether they stand around stupidly or are invisible.

      Skimming through Hofstede’s book, I stumbled across an interesting paragraph on page 85:

      “Feelings toward other nations vary not only with uncertainty avoidance but also with masculinity. The combination was illustrated in Figure 6.1. The Axis powers from World War II (Germany, Italy, and Japan) were all located in the lower right-hand quadrant: strong uncertainty avoidance plus masculinity. Under the conditions prior to the war, ethnocentric, xenophobic, and aggressive tendencies could get the upper hand in these countries more easily than in countries with different culture patterns. Fascism and racism find their most fertile ground in cultures with strong uncertainty avoidance plus pronouncedly masculine values. The paradox is that these same values in the postwar period contributed to these countries’ fast economic recovery. A culture’s weaknesses may in different circumstances become its strengths.”

      Let’s be blunt: either Hofstad’s theory is flat‑out wrong, or he didn’t have the backbone to follow it through. If you ask me, war is nothing less than the ultimate exercise in uncertainty. You could just as well call it a “collective high‑tech thrill ride of destruction.”

      And the same goes for impulsive, reckless, over‑the‑top macho behavior—like some drunk weaving through traffic at 90 miles an hour. That’s not about logic, that’s about adrenaline and testosterone. In other words: male territory.

      Flip side? The neurotic obsession with safety, the compulsive need for harmony, the pathological avoidance of conflict and risk. Let’s be honest: those are traits you’ll mostly find on the female end of the spectrum.

      And here’s the kicker: of all people, the effeminized, ultra‑“liberal” Brits—the folks who’ve been bowing to a “queen” for centuries—score lower than most on the “uncertainty avoidance index.” You couldn’t make this up.

      Remember what I’ve said before: the titans who built Germany’s so‑called economic miracle? Most of them were ex‑Hitler Youth. That means they grew up being hammered into discipline and self‑discipline. They were hardened. Same story in Japan.

      Back then, it was considered shameful to act soft, to whine, to turn trivial nonsense into a “problem” instead of, you know, solving it. Compare that to today’s world of fragile egos and tantrums over nothing. The old saying still applies: *A Germanic heart knows no pain.*

      Now, don’t get me wrong: I’m no fan of blind recklessness. But I do believe in calculated risk—real, measurable risk. No risk, no fun. War doesn’t count. Neither does running into a bunch of Middle Eastern migrants unarmed like that young American fool in Dresden did.

      Calculated risk means something else. It means moving in silence, beneath the radar of public attention, making progress toward your goal while looking like an innocent bystander. That’s Sun Tzu 101.

      Few things are more important in a war—and a war is what we are certainly in—than knowing what the attitudes and concerns of one’s enemies are. This article is highly revealing of the Jews’ strategic thinking.

      Mr. MacDonald published [the article] without the slightest comment.

      Don’t you think that the article speaks pretty plainly for itself, with especial regard to the falsity of its claims? Or does KM err in his implicit assumption that this site’s habitués are intelligent enough to get the point without elaborate explanations or disclaimers?

    Everything anyone ever needed to know about the Jews was stated by Christ Himself in John 8:44. “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.”

    Not one word written in that article is truthful.

      There are also different verses in the Fourth Gospel. Jesus was regarded as a Jew (John 4.9) from whose people salvation comes (4.22) and buried as one (19.41-42).
      You have to prove the biological lineage and cultural connection between the Judean establishment of AD/CE 33 and the AIPAC, WZC, Likud & JLC fraternity today.
      That doesn’t mean that the IDF are kindness itself and a source of unvarnished fact.

    Theodor Fritsch (1852-1933)
    The Riddle of the Jew’s Success published 1927
    /
    If one wished to sum up Jewish morality in one concise phrase, it would read as follows: “All is moral which brings advantage.” The Jew is incapable of applying a higher standard to the values in life than that of advantage or profit.
    /
    … the Jew is meditating everywhere on confusion and exhaustion, on ruin and dismemberment. He seeks his advantage in the injuries of others, his advancement in the oppression of his fellow men, who do not happen to be Jews.
    /
    The Jewish perception can be formulated in yet another way: “Morality is the art of overreaching other people, and of creating, at the same time, the impression of a benevolent disposition — in fact, of representing what is in reality an offence against others as an act of charity.

      So now you know, over a century later. Fritsch’s book (which Hitler recommended to young students) has some interesting material, which can be matched against modern studies, penned before WW1, but spoiled by his naive closing endorsement of the “Protocols” which are demonstrably not genuine.
