The Myth of Jewish Population Decline
In my recent commentary on the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, I mentioned the remarkable achievement of Jewry in co-opting the entire affair to their favour. The attacks, which were clearly a symptom of disastrous immigration and foreign policies (thereby victimizing the native Europeans), were redrawn as an allegory which offered a lesson to Europe on how it should treat its Jews, and the need to tackle what is imagined to be Europe’s ‘anti-Semitism problem.’ Victimized Europe became the aggressor. The immigration-facilitating (and free speech annihilating) Jews became the victim.
The success of the Jewish effort came as a surprise to many of us in White advocacy who, in the initial aftermath of the attack, may well have expected it to have been a net benefit to our cause. The contributing factors of the attack seemed to us so very clear and the implications of unchecked immigration so indisputably negative. And yet, while we rushed to the conclusion that the French National Front would now be a sure bet for the next elections, organized Jewry quietly but successfully hijacked the narrative and suffocated the native European reaction in its infancy. Looking at the situation now, Charlie Hebdo, as a galvanizing cause for European peoples, rights and freedoms, is dead in the water.
The narrative of Jewish victimhood in this instance is, of course, an inversion (one is tempted to say perversion) of the true state of affairs. In much the same way, while senile Europe continues to undergo its slow demographic death, new narratives are emerging which claim that it is European Jewry that is dying, and that ‘evil’ Europe is to blame for this imaginary state of affairs. This new complaint of Jewry has also provided the harping Hebrews with an opportunity to regurgitate rebukes to Europe on the seemingly inexhaustible ‘lessons’ of the Holocaust. Apparently, because of the number of Jewish casualties during World War II, Europe is now duty-bound to maintain a high and consistent Jewish population. Suzanne Vega at Jewish news site JPUpdates writes:
Many thought that the world had learned from the Holocaust and hopefully it would be the last time we saw a major decline in Jewish populations, but in just the last few years we have seen a dramatic dwindling of the Jewish community throughout Europe. With a new wave of anti-Semitism and hate crimes in Europe, especially France and the UK, it has become extremely dangerous for Jews to live in peace, leaving many considering fleeing to Israel.
