Jewish thinking about Syrian refugees — again

/20 Comments/in , , , /by

Apropos of Douglas Murray’s warning the the Jewish community, this if from the JTA: “For Jewish groups, Syrian refugees are a reminder — not a threat”

American Jewish organizations don’t see the Syrian refugees as a threat; they see them as a reminder.

With rare unanimity on an issue that has stirred partisan passion, a cross-section of the community has defended the Obama administration’s refugee policy in terms recalling the plight of Jews fleeing Nazi Europe who were refused entry into the United States.

“The Jewish community has an important perspective on this debate,” the Orthodox Union said in its statement. “Just a few decades ago, refugees from the terror and violence in Hitler’s Europe sought refuge in the United States and were turned away due to suspicions about their nationality.”

Echoed the Conservative movement’s Rabbinical Assembly: “We can sadly remember all too well the Jews who were turned away when they sought refuge in the United States on the eve of, and during, World War II.”

Eleven Jewish organizations joined another 70 groups in pleading with Congress to keep open the Obama administration’s program, which would allow in 10,000 refugees over the next year from among the 200,000 to 300,000 in Europe. Neither the Orthodox Union nor the Rabbinical Assembly signed the letter.

Among the signatories were mainstream bodies like the the Reform movement, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee and the National Council of Jewish Women, as well as HIAS, the lead Jewish body dealing with immigration issues, and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the umbrella body for Jewish public policy groups.

“A Europe of Nations”: Marine Le Pen’s Plan for the Old Continent

Marine Le Pen addresses FN rally, May, 2014 | AFP

Like the mass-rape gangs of Rotherham, the recent slaughter of 130 people by Muslim terrorists in the streets of Paris has again given us a quick glimpse, the briefest foretaste, of our coming multicultural future as indigenous Europeans are reduced to a minority. Europe once birthed the most dynamic and luminous of all human civilizations. But as her demographics progressively come to resemble those of the Levant and the Congo, so she will be cursed with the lifestyles and violence characteristic of those regions. No one has a right to be surprised at this development.[1]

We then need more than ever to have concrete and constructive thinking on how to build a new Europe in which our nations will survive and thrive. In this article, I will present Front National leader Marine Le Pen’s European policy: First to abolish the European Union and then to establish new forms of European cooperation to better fight immigration and globalism. I will also critically discuss the issue of “European solidarity” in the framework of the FN’s official civic nationalism which, while robustly opposed to immigration and perhaps necessary electorally, is not unproblematic.

Refugees-Welcome

Swedish translation of Tim Murray’s “Love is all we need to get along“; originally posted at NYANSERAT.NU

Inbördeskrig gör nationer ”livfulla”. Etnisk homogenitet är tråkigt. Ja det finns blodbad, misär och desperation. Men närhelst det finns andrum mellan striderna, när det är paus i beskjutningen och bombningen, har medborgarna en rad spännande etniska rätter att välja mellan. Under lunchrasterna finns det enighet i mångfalden.

Etniska konflikter bryter enbart ut på grund av en anledning. Problemet är bristande kommunikation, att förstå att vi under ytan allihop bara är människor med samma ambitioner och behov. Vi måste se bortom det ytliga och inse att vi alla är bröder. Gud älskar varenda en av oss, avsett vilket språk vi talar eller vilken tro vi följer.

Vi måste anta samma attityd som den parisiska make som intervjuades på CNN.[1] Han uppgav att han vägrar att hata terroristerna som mördat hans fru. Att göra det skulle löna ont med ont. Istället kommer han att sträva efter att älska dem. Att omfamna dem. När du gör det, sade han, kommer murarna att rämna. Så om du älskar en våldsam psykopat, och vänder den andra kinden till, kommer han att ge upp sina onda sätt att vara på. Kärlek erövrar hat. Hopp övervinner fruktan. Våld föder våld. Riskera fred, inte krig. Freden börjar med mig. Lev sida vid sida…. Ursäkta om jag glömde någon annan spypåsekliché. Read more

Turkey in for a Stuffing?

/56 Comments/in /by

The recent Turkish action in shooting down a Russian bomber makes sense in terms of Turkey’s strategy in the region. As far as I can tell from news reports it was motivated by feelings of solidarity for the Turkmens, a fellow Turkish ethnicity that has had the misfortune to live on the Syrian side of the border, rather than in Turkey, where they obviously belong. It is noticeable that since  the Russians started to take a more active role in the Syrian conflict, they have mainly been concentrating on the non-ISIS sector, in particular those groups in the West of the country that are directly threatening President Assad’s Alawite homeland. This includes various Sunni groups, including Syria’s Turkmens, one of the few minorities in the country that is inclined to side against Assad.

So, both the fact that Russia has been bombing the Turkmens and the fact that Turkey has retaliated are understandable in their own ways.

The problem, however, is that Turkey can only afford such machismo and reckless swagger because it is playing the game with somebody else’s money. Whatever difficulties they get into at the geopolitical casino table, they fully expect to be bailed out by much bigger players. Read more

Douglas Murray’s Warning to the Jewish Community

/51 Comments/in , /by

Douglas Murray has written a very nice column on the Paris attacks: “Paris attacks: Leaders in two minds while Europe burns.” He points to the “multiculturalism has failed” statements of Angela Merkel and David Cameron—and that, despite no progress on integrating Muslims, Europe is now doubling down on a failed experiment. He points out that even though terrorism is confined to only very few Muslims, it has substantial support in the British Muslim community—at least 27% in a BBC poll, “with another 10 per cent saying they didn’t know whether they were sympathetic to the attackers or refusing to answer the question.” He is very clear that this is a top-down revolution with ever decreasing popular support.

But, then, almost nothing about the grand schemes of Europe’s political elites has made sense for some time. All are good at talking about how they will tackle problems “over there”. Few if any have any idea what to do about our problems “over here”.

He predicts that

the European public will migrate further and further to the political Right. And in reaction to this the European political class will migrate further and further to the Left. You can already see it. In ­Sweden one liberal newspaper editor responded to the latest polling triumphs by the until-recently ­pariah Sweden Democrats party by saying that he would be happy to flood Sweden with Islamic State fighters to punish the Swedish electorate for voting for the Sweden Democrats. That isn’t such an unusual instinct.

Assuming that this editor is an ethnic Swede (although most media in Sweden in Jewish-owned), this proposal is the most extreme version of altruistic punishment against one’s own people that I have ever contemplated. (Altruistic punishment is punishment of violators of a moral norm at cost to oneself; proneness to altruistic punishment to uphold moral norms is a key aspect of Western egalitarian individualism, typified, e.g., by the Puritan moral fervor against slavery that advocated punishing White Southerners on behalf of the freedom of Africans; see here, p. 101ff).

It is the same instinct that made one female refugee aid worker and her colleagues hush up her recent rape at the hands of some recent arrivals. They feared that mentioning the rape might exacerbate anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe. This instinct fears that Europeans are far-right extremists just waiting to break out, and the sad irony that only by treating them in such a way for such a long time could anyone ever make them so.

This of course is the same sentiment that prevented authorities from reporting or prosecuting the industrial-scale rape of girls in Rotherham and elsewhere in the UK. Read more

Introducing British Renaissance: British Nationalists Unite Against Islamism, Zionist Supremacism and Mass Invasion

BritishPoliceThe Enrichment of British Life

For several reasons, Britain has long been the “sick man” of European Nationalism. Aside from the British National Party’s string of local and European election victories prior to its spectacular electoral collapse of 2010, the story of British ethno-populism has, even in its earliest incarnations, largely been one of under-performance. Setting aside my own arguments and theories as to why this has been the case, one is astounded and horrified at the transformation that Britain is being subjected to. The Office for National Statistics has documented that between 2001 and 2009 the non-indigenous population of England and Wales increased by 37.4%. The mixed-race population increased in same period by nearly 50%. As of 2014, the non-indigenous population of Britain accounts for 80% of its population growth, with White births accounting for just 16.5% of the total in West Birmingham. White decline in Britain, as in much of the West, is not a putative future event — it is a contemporary crisis, an extinction in progress.

Despite media silence, Britain faces several existential threats. The character of the nation is currently under severe threat from Muslim immigration. The UK Muslim population is increasing rapidly and Britons are concerned. In 2003 a British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey highlighted that 48 per cent of the native British were concerned that an increase in the Muslim population would weaken Britain’s national identity. By 2013 that figure had risen to 62 per cent. Before and since the latest survey, the country has been rocked by the side effects of this population increase — Islamic terror, Muslim grooming gangs that have subjected thousands of indigenous British girls to rape and violence, the ‘Trojan Horse’ phenomenon where Muslim hardliners attempted to take over city schools, and the fact that a 2011 study showed that 21.3% of Muslims living in Britain have never worked. Muslims, together with Britain’s other ethnic minorities consume a disproportionate amount of welfare and tax credits, even relative to their swelling population.  Read more
