Apparently Without Irony, Washington Post Says Jewish Advocates Demand that Obama Show 'Fealty to Israel'

The story continues: supporters of Israel are rising against Obama, there is a major push this week to destroy his candidacy. Today's Washington Post reports on a debate yesterday arranged by United Jewish Committees in D.C. among Jewish advocates for Hillary, Obama, and McCain. The debate became a rout, the Post columnist averred, in which the advocates for Hillary and McCain "used their time to raise doubts about Obama's fealty to Israel."

Fealty to Israel? They portrayed Obama as a dangerous leftwinger, and when the Illinois senator's surrogate defended Obama's statement that the U.S. does not have to cleave to Likud policies, Ann Lewis, Hillary's advocate, responded: 

"The role of the president of the United States is to support the decisions that are made by the people of Israel. It is not up to us to pick and choose from among the political parties."

Yup, sounds like fealty to me! What is there to say about such a statement? Horrifying. Likud has been against the peace process, against a Palestinian state, for the colonization of the West Bank. Do we have a foreign policy? Do we take sides on such matters? Do we take sides on minority rights in foreign countries? Are we the strongest country in the world, or do we get dragged around by racist biblical colonialists half a world away? What did we just do in Serbia and Kosovo--exercise our power to establish a Muslim state. But in this part of the world we have had no independent power to say what is right and wrong, for 60 years...

The columnist who wrote the piece is Dana Milbank, who in 2006 suggested that Walt and Mearsheimer are Nazis for talking about something called "the Israel lobby." When Milbank cites "fealty to Israel" and describes security guards with Israeli accents, it's hard to tell how ironic he is being. I think he is impish; and is trying himself to marginalize Obama without coming out and saying so.

This is bad news for Obama but maybe good for America. If Obama is going down on this issue, there will at last be, I vouchsafe, a robust debate over our Israel policy.

Phil, I don't know whether you're going to comment separately on Obama's speech regarding Reverend Wright. But in any event, it contains a relevant passage -- completely out of character with the rest of the address -- which is pertinent to the "fealty to Israel" issue:

"[Rev. Wright] expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country – a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam."

http://www.drudgereport.com/flashos.htm

In the balance of the speech, Obama displays his remarkable ability to articulate the views of both blacks and whites, highlighting distortions in their outlooks, as well as points of unity. But no such nuance is found in this wholly one-sided caricature of Israel and Islam. Indeed, it's so starkly inconsistent that it sounds like a kidnap victim's note, written at gunpoint. And maybe it was.

The upshot is that for Barack Obama, Muslims are the new Willie Horton. If demonizing them will win an election, and energize a flood of Jewish cash, then by God, let's whack 'em!

This was intended to be a hopeful speech. Toward the end, Obama stated:

"We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle – as we did in the OJ trial – or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina - or as fodder for the nightly news. We can do that. But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we’ll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change. That is one option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, “Not this time.”

Sounds brave, doesn't it? Yet when it comes to Israel, Obama has chosen the first option: stick to stereotypes and caricatures, and sweep meaningful discussion under the rug.

So instead of hope, Obama's speech inspires only dread. He's clearly going to drive the middle eastern bus off the cliff, perhaps taking the U.S. over the precipice with it. It didn't have to be this way, Mr. Obama. Didn't Rev. Wright warn you about selling your soul to Mammon?

[Jim Haygood]

Dana Milbank doesn't say where this "public meeting announced by a group of Jewish leaders" took place. But from his description, it sounds as if Jewish actors performed for a Jewish audience, and were recorded by Jewish reporters.

"Security guards with Israeli accents turned away people at the door as the room overflowed." Wow, same deal as the Breaking the Silence exhibit at Harvard Hillel. It really makes me feel good, knowing that foreign soldiers are involved in political events which concern my country's future. Thank goodness there's no Lobby. Nobody here but us Americans!

[Clara]

Debate over our Israel policy? This is about Jewish Americans, Phil. NOT policy. The policy in a consequence of the Jewish establishments stranglehold on America. That's the issue dealing with all the other issues you raise and those you don't like control and supply of our money. What about creaming hardworking low and middle earners tax $ to bail out the bankers who have been defrauding and indebting our people AND our country for decades. If we can take back America, we got to take control of our money, fix the political process THEN we get policy, foreign and domestic in our best interests.

[Doug]

I gave up on Obama and wrote him off as an Israeli stooge when he travelled to Israel and pledged allegiance to the Zionists. However, if he is insufficiently loyal to Israel for American Jews, then maybe I'll vote for him. Israel is the millstone around the necks of Americans, dragging us down into the depths of depravity and poverty. All our problems are related to the unconditional support for Israel forced on our leaders by AIPAC and the Zionist controlled media.

[Clara]

Doug, there are many poor Jewish folk who care about being good neighbours and getting by. We have a big problem but it's here we can't keep blaming Israel. there are poor folks there too. We need to fix the problem here, to do that we all have to work together. There's a problem with the elites, not the folks.

[Kim]

Shouldn't he be swearing fealty to the U.S. first, second, and third AND ONLY fealty to the U.S.?

[Ana]

Hillary's aide finally spilled the beans: "The role of the President of the United States is to support the decisions that are made by the people of Israel." And all this time we thought we lived in a democracy, that elections mattered, that our government was making decisions on our behalf. No, the candidates are just competing to prove who will be the best enforcer of decisions that come from the seat of power, and it's not in D.C.!

[Doug]

Clara,

Get Israel out of my government, off my back, and get their hands out of my wallet, then we can talk about how our problems are self-inflicted.

The disaster in Iraq is entirely due to Israeli moles in our government, such as Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and Douglas Feith, who planted false evidence and blackmailed our leaders into a war for Israel's benefit. The looming disaster in Iraq is likewise due to Israel-Firsters pushing for us to fight Israel's wars for them.

Jesus said that "no one can serve two masters", therefore, Jesus has declared that anyone who is loyal to Israel is NOT loyal to the United States. There is no middle ground.

[Michael Blaine]

"The role of the president of the United States is to support the decisions that are made by the people of Israel."

Excuse me? The role of the POTUS is to advance the interests of Americans.

The assertion of the Clinton surrogate really, really frosts my ass. It's outrageous.

[Michael Blaine]

"Israel is the millstone around the necks of Americans, dragging us down into the depths of depravity and poverty. All our problems are related to the unconditional support for Israel forced on our leaders by AIPAC and the Zionist controlled media."

OK, Doug. Those statements are lunatic. Unconditional, official support for Israel is problematic, but hardly of the scope you claim. Let's maintain some perspective.

[Doug]

Michael Blaine,

Every year of my life, US foreign policy in the Middle East has been controlled by Israel-Firsters in the US and by Israel itself. For my entire life Hollywood and television have been controlled by Zionists. Every year, our standards of decency and our standing in the world has declined.

Lunatic you say? Prove it by getting Israel and Israel-Firsters out of our government and letting us determine our own policy. Then we can see if Americans looking out for America's interests first, second, third and last can screw it up as bad as the Israel-Firsters have already done in our name and with our money.

[Billy]

Doug, your either jewish or have no idea of what you say. Certain jews are the root to all our troubles. The fed will cause another depression just like they caused the one in 1929. They are the cause of the wars we are in now among many others throughout history. We are hated because we are a occupied country by a bunch of jewish internationalist along with the loyality of the tribe. Our media is in complete control of these same jewish supremicist and until this stranglehold is broken all will only get worse. They are truly the enemy of peace and mankind!

[the Sword of Gideon]

Doug, Billy, what can I say. Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer. Brings you back doesn't it

[americangoy]

Hello?

Earth to America?

Top Clinton Aide:
"The role of the president of the United States is to support the decisions that are made by the people of Israel."

Hello?

Anybody here?

Anybody care?

[Mike]

Something that is not mentioned is that the Jewish Bolsheviks absolutely ravaged Russia.

"It is probably unwise to say this loudly in the United States, but the Bolshevik movement is and has been since its beginning, guided and controlled by Russian Jews of the greasiest type..."

-Capt. Montgomery Schuyler, a US military intelligence officer in Russia

U.S. National Archives. Record group 120: Records of the American Expeditionary Forces, June 9, 1919.

When the Bolsheviks finally took power, they killed the Czars entire family, including killing his young daughters who were bayoneted to death.

The Jewish Communist Lazar Kaganovich then starved 5 million Ukranians in 1932-33 by confiscating their grain.

[schallb]

What gets me is those of you that say some here are wrong haven't done their homework. Your sitting in front of the information highway and yet some don't even know how to use it . Start now!

[Joachim Martillo]

In some regards the economic implications associated with a dominant Jewish elite in the USA are scarier than the foreign policy issues.

See http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2008/03/i-am-the-bigges.html#comment-107520326 .

[Love it or Leave it.]

You know what? USA should have a law that stated that public seats could be held only by people with one nationality that is the american one. The people that had two should be forced to choose one. No double-nationalities, no israeli-firsters, no mexican-firsters.

P.S.- Those numerous double nationality israeli-firsters that compose the current administration should all face charges and go for trial....for TREASON.

[Thetruth]

I guess someone forgot to tell them that Israel is the size of New Jersey and a perpetrator of arab holocaust since 1948 as part of an ongoing illegal invasion and theft of land from the palestinians.
Fealty to Israel? Fuck that. Bomb israel into the stone age and return it to the palestinians= peace in the middle east.
Israel is a leech, a dog and lying whore.

[Steve Fye]

Gee,I thought Obama was running for President of the united States of America not President of Isreal.

[Dude from Lebanon]

I'm not American, I'm Lebanese... It’s a pity to see the greatest nation, the United States of America, having such a media-affected political opinion. And that has such a political class that is almost ruled by Israelis. Please Americans wake up… Vote for the president that will do what is best for the USA not for Israel! Anyway Israel is going to be defeated by Hezbollah very soon… trust me… I live here and I know… anyway…good luck… PEACE

[Ron R.]

Not that I'm a fan of Barney Frank's sister, Ann Lewis, but I believe that what she is saying is that the people of Israel elected their government and the POTUS has no business trying to undermine it by playing partisan politics with opposition parties.

Sure.. we can influence discussion in the public domain to alter the opinions of the Israeli people, but our directing backing one particular political party or another would be tantamount to the Israeli government declaring they supported Democrats or Republicans..

And I don't think many Americans would stand for that and not complain..

[13th Amendment]

Joachim Martillo, guess what? The US did have a law the required people to not only be 'Soley american Citizens" but also stated that "No persons with titles of nobility could be in the government."

This was the original 13th amendment that got tossed out with the (Un) Civil War. This was designed to not only keep foreigners out of government, but to keep LAWYERS out as well.

Let's not forget that they all Lawyers have a title of nobility (Esquire) to this day; AND both Hitlery and Obamess are attorneys.

Why did they do this? Because most lawyers will sell out their mothers for a buck. This is not the type of person you want in government, but for some reason its become the ONLY type of people we have in government.

[Alan Cabal]

Ron, the Palestinians elected Hamas. How's that sit with you? America has to stop supporting Israel, period. Now.

[Doug]

Billy,

"The fed will cause another depression just like they caused the one in 1929. They are the cause of the wars we are in now among many others throughout history."

And just who is the Fed and who runs it?

The current members of the Board of Governors are:
Ben Bernanke, Chairman
Donald Kohn, Vice-Chairman
Frederic Mishkin
Kevin Warsh
Randall Kroszner

Those all look like Jewish last names to me. Who were the previous chairmen?

Paul A. Volcker (August 6, 1979 – August 11, 1987)
Alan Greenspan (August 11, 1987 – January 31, 2006)
Ben Bernanke (February 1, 2006 – )

Those all look like Jewish last names to me.

Seems that the Fed, which you say is the cause of our problems, is run by Zionist Jews, Israel-Firsters who have sold out America to promote the interests of their favorite racist state.

[Doug]

Ron R,

"Not that I'm a fan of Barney Frank's sister, Ann Lewis, but I believe that what she is saying is that the people of Israel elected their government and the POTUS has no business trying to undermine it by playing partisan politics with opposition parties."

Oh, really? Do you likewise support the principle that the US has no business interfering with Hugo Chavez, the democratically elected leader of Venezuela, that the US has no business interfering with Hamas, the democratically elected party at the head of the Palaestinian government, that the US has no business telling Lebanon that they cannot have Hezbollah in their government, that the US has no business opposing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the democratically elected leader of Iran, that the US has no business criticizing Vladmir Putin and the the government of Russia, that the US has no business telling Pervez Musharaf that he cannot be both the Chief of the Army and President of Pakistan, etc., etc., etc., etc., ad infinatum, ad nauseum?

If we can mess with the aforementioned nations and their democratic process, we can mess with Israel's, too. This is particular true since Israel is taking US taxpayer dollars in vast quantities. If they don't want us telling them what to do, they can do without our money.

The cover is being blown off the Zionist control of the US and its institutions. Americans are waking up to the truth of the matter and no amount of media censorship or Israeli shills on the internet will stop the slide. We're catching on to you and you better hope you are out of reach when we wake up, because we will be as grumpy as a grizzly woken in January.

[Dave]

After reading through the above comments, it's getting obvious that finally the US citizens are awakening to the treasonous, sickening control of the USA by Neocon Zionistas in Print, TV, Radio, Congress and the WH. The FED is 100% Zionist bankers. Then, think Joe Lieberman, Wolfowitz, Perle, Libby, Feith, and ALL Sources of TV network news--Fox, etc. Think 3 TRILLION $ war in Iraq and future $ value in 2011.
We are in the same position now in the USA as a civilization that Germany was in around 1923. It took 10 years-1933-for the German people to respond with Hitler, and 10 years after the Zionist destruction of Germany was completed, the final Nazi payback, 1943, as I recall, was a BITCH! Now, let's move forward to 2011 in anytown in America: "Larry Lunchbucket" is standing in a bread line, he's lost his house, the banks have failed, his wife has left him, his kids are wards of the state and his CURRENCY is worthless---and, by then he's figured out that 911 was an "inside job" pulled off by Cheney/Bush/Oil and their Zionist masters--and he thinks.."It's the goddamn Jews". If our current financial debacle degrades as it looks like it will, I predict dark days ahead in America for the TRIBE. (Will that make it the 60th country they've been thrown out of??) We intellectuals can tell the difference between a scheming Zionist, and the "Torah" Jew who lives down the street who is our podiatrist, but, Larry Lunchbucket can't--thus the Nazis.
P.S. It seems that comment sections like the above are exploding all over the net on every comment section: financial, 911truth, political, cultural, etc. This one is very restrained by comparison. Does anyone else have any thoughts??

[EdFromNH]

"THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS TO SUPPORT THE DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE BY THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. IT IS NOT UP TO US TO PICK AND CHOOSE FROM AMONG [ISRAEL'S] POLITICAL PARTIES." THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS APPLAUDED."

That comment, by Ann Lewis, one of Hillary Clinton's most trusted aides and the other comments recorded in Dana Milbank's enlightening article "The Audacity of Chutzpah," referred to by Mondo above, prove the current treasonous extreme of America's pro-Israeli lobby -- the lobby many say is the most powerful in America -- the lobby that many believe almost single-handedly pushed America into its ill-considered and ill-fated war in Iraq.

This lobby has now become so hyper-arrogant that they claim it is the "duty" of the President of the United States to support the will of the electorate of a foreign state no matter how much it might conflict with the interests of America. They are, in effect, demanding that any candidate for President must surrender America's sovereignty to Israel, a state founded for the purpose of discriminating against people based on whether or not they are Jewish.

My family was in the media. We repeatedly received letters from Rabbis, co-signed by all our Jewish sponsors, threatening to put us out of business unless we carried pro-Israeli or pro-Jewish propaganda, which we did. If you understand the power of the pro-Israeli lobby, not only in Washington, but also in the news media, the article "The Audacity of Chutzpah" explains why Barak Obama is being smeared by certain loud voices in our media. Consider Saturday Night Live's claim the press was "in the tank" for Obama -- when the real problem is that Obama is not 100% "in the tank" for Israel. Obama's relationship with his single sleazy money man, Rezko, has received much more publicity than the Clintons' more questionable relationships with hundreds of sleazy money men, including a handful that were channeling money from the Chinese Communists to the Clinton's in return for the dangerous sale to the Chinese of important U.S. military assets. The media has virtually refused to remind America of just how much evidence there is of just how many serious crimes the Clintons appear to have committed. Most of the right-wing voices on talk radio and cable news, who are currently fanning the anti-Obama movement and encouraging Republicans to vote for Hillary, have been constant supporters of the Zionist-racist end of the pro-Israeli lobby.

The media uproar about Rev. Jeremiah Wright is not really about his anti-white racism. Many black leaders, including Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have said things just anti-white as Rev. Wright -- but no prominent leaders of the Democratic party have ever been forced to disown them. Instead it is all about Israel, and the Zionist-racists' fear Obama cannot be trusted to commit the treason of putting the interests of Israel before those of America.

To understand the ugly power of the pro-Israeli lobby, just look at the vicious smear job it did on Jimmy Carter, who has done more to help Israel in real terms than any U.S. President since Truman. He was repeatedly smeared as anti-Semitic when he dared write in his book "Peace Not Apartheid" statements about Israel's unfairness to the Palestinians that are commonly discussed within the Israeli media, itself. Even American Jews who have dared to make similar statements in this country have been attacked by the Zionist-racists as aiding anti-Semitism.

ZIONISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM ARE EVIL TWINS. THEY ARE BOTH IDEOLOGIES FOUNDED ON DISCRIMINATING AGAINST PEOPLE BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE JEWISH. IT IS HYPOCRITICAL TO ATTACK ONE WITHOUT ATTACKING THE OTHER.

Racial discrimination practiced by Jews is just as ugly as a similar degree of racial discrimination practiced against Jews, and vice versa. Anything else would be a racist double standard on its face. And since, as is shown in Jimmy Carter's book, the current racial discrimination practiced by Israel is more ugly and extreme than the anti-Semitic discrimination practiced by any but an extremely small, nut-case fringe in America, the vast majority of charges of anti-Semitism made by the powerful pro-Israeli Jewish groups in this country are nothing but pure hypocrisy.

It is time that all fair-minded Americans, including all fair-minded Jews, condemn the offensive discrimination, censorship, McCarthy-like smear campaigns, and treason of the Zionist-racists who force our politicians to subject the sovereignty of America to the will of Israeli voters and who seek to prevent American gentiles and Jews from having the same freedom to criticize Israel as the Jews of Israel, themselves. It is time America have the freedom to honestly and openly consider the costs, as well as the benefits, of continuing to be the world's major funder, supplier of arms, and supplier of diplomatic support for Israel's anti-Arab racism.

[EdFromNH]

=======================================

That the American media is spending so much time focusing on Rev. Wright’s mere ugly words, and virtually no time on the pro-Israeli lobby’s treasonous, ugly requirement that American presidents put the interests of Israel before those of America, is proof of just how dominated by Zionist-racism the American media is.

It is ridiculous that Obama is being pressured to distance himself from Rev. Wright’s ugly words, when nobody is ever forced to distance themselves from Israel’s much, much, much uglier deeds.

In a cycle of violence that started when the Zionists moved into Palestine and made clear they wanted to drive the Palestinians out of their own land -- much as Hitler originally wanted to drive the Jews out of Germany -- the Zionist have killed many more Palestinians than Palestinians have Jews. In response to almost every tit for tat in this cycle of violence the Zionist-racists started, they have killed many more Arabs than Arabs have Jews. The fact that one side's bombs are now delivered by human suicide bombers while the other side’s are delivered by American-made mechanical bombers does not make one side’s violence worse than the other. People who have been robbed have more right to use force to get their stolen property back than the robbers have to steal it. Why is there a racist double standard that says Zionists are allowed to kill and commit acts of terror to steal, keep, and steal even more stolen land, but Palestinians are not allowed to kill and commit acts of terror to get back the land that has been stolen from them, or to fight to prevent even more land from being taken from them. Why is there always a (usually unspoken) racist double standard in the American public forum, which accords more rights to Jews than gentiles.

When will the Jewish people as a whole ever be satisfied with equality, rather than continuing to have powerful elements within their population that constantly demands racial superiority, including the right to have a nation state that discriminates against the racial and ethnic background of 97% of Americans and 99.5% of all of humanity. When will the Jews stop having powerful groups within their population that demand to be the pigs of “Animal Farm”, the animals that are “more equal” than all the others.

The answer is that it would happen within a decade or two after America was free to honestly discuss Israel and Zionism. It would because Jews are basically just as decent as the rest of America, and if there could only be honest discussion of how ugly Israel’s racism is, and how ugly the claims of Zionists to special privilege are, most Jews would come to understand that Zionism and certain strands of racism in the Torah and the Talmud are ugly and outdated, just as most American whites took a decade or two to understand how ugly and outdated the racism against Afro-Americans -- that was so deeply ingrained in many of white America’s sacred institutions -- was.

The Zionist-racists of the pro-Israeli lobby know this. They know that most American Jews are fair minded enough that if there could be an open and honest discussion of Israeli and Zionist racism, and how offensive many people consider it to be, the large majority of American Jews would distance themselves from both these ugly institutions. That is why they work so hard to seek total censorship of all things that relate to Israel and Zionism. That is why they feel such a need to smear Obama, because, God forbid, since he had an Islamic father, he might just spread the idea that Arabs are human beings of equal intrinsic worth as Jews, and without the implicit assumption that Jews are somehow superior to Palestinians and entitled to special rights the justification for Israel brutal treatment of the Palestinians disappears. So that cannot be allowed. That is why the Zionists fight in such an ugly and underhanded manner to prevent any honest discussions on the subject, because they know that Americans and American Jews are basically decent people, and, thus, they cannot be allowed to have free and open discussions of the ugly racism and discrimination that is the very essence of both Zionism and Israel.

[Andrew]

I agree that the power of the Israel Lobby over U.S. politics is infuriating. But look at the interference of U.S. money and power in dozens -- if not hundreds -- of countries around the World. It's somewhat hypocritical to complain about outside interference in our politics when we do the same to so many others. What we need are strict laws forbidding both!

[EdFromNH]

Reading the comments on this list I am happy to hear that so many oppose Israel, the pro-Israeli lobby, and Zionism. But I am not happy to see that some remarks in this list appear to be anti-Semitic, even to me.

By “anti-Semitic” I am not referring to the propagandistic use of the term as a cheap smear commonly made by Zionist-racist organizations like the Anti-Defamation League, which means virtually any criticism of Israel, Zionism, or discrimination by Jewish individuals, groups, and institutions against gentiles, no matter how fair that criticism might be, and no matter how extreme the discrimination criticized might be. I totally oppose such an unfair use of the term. Gentiles should have exactly the same rights to criticize the behavior of Jews without being smeared as Jews do to criticize the behavior of gentiles without being smeared. Equality between Jews and Gentiles should be the desired norm.

Instead I mean that some of the comments on this list imply that virtually all Jews are racist or traitorous or unethical, or that a majority of the success that Jews have acheived in America is a result of some sort of conspiracy. I know a lot of Jewish people whom I respect. Unfortunately a majority of them have some Zionist racist beliefs, which I view as a fault. But I am old enough to remember the 1960’s when I and almost all the white people I knew had racist beliefs against blacks. Yet despite that fault I think I and most of the white people I knew then were basically decent people. I think the same can be said of many Jews who unfortunately have been brainwashed by their upbringing to have racist Zionist views, but who are not hatefully extreme in such racism. The majority of gentiles in this country have been brainwashed by Zionist propaganda to support Israel, so we should show some understanding, if not approval, for Jews who have been similarly brainwashed, but even more so.

I was raised as a Christian, but my favorite parts of the Bible were almost all from the Old Testament. I was always much more taken with the notion of God than of Jesus. Although I think Judaism has many flaws and although I think it has many parts which are, or could be interpreted, as racist, I think all major religions have flaws, I think Judaism has many virtues. And I think it is possible for a religious Jew to interpret the notion of the Jews being the “chosen people” in a manner that is not racist. I think there are many religious Jews who feel compelled by their religion to show compassion to all of humanity, not just to Jews, and who are made more decent by their faith.

Furthermore, perhaps because I have a lot of relatively deep intellectual interests, I find a high percent of the people whom I personally admire are Jewish. I admire Jewish intelligence, energy, hard work, learning, and humor. Jews probably have a higher percent of their population that are total shits than the rest of humanity, but they also have a higher percent who are truly admirable. No group has contributed as much, on a per capita basis to the advance of human science, medicine, commerce, education, and art during the last century than Jews. I think some Jews do discriminate in favor of each other in business and professions, and much of that should be stopped, but I think the majority of Jewish success in America has been fairly earned, and has benefited the whole country. Except for the Zionist-racism many Jews share to various degrees, I think Jews should be emulated and admired rather than hated and resented. Just as I think it is ugly for Jews to say they do not want to be assimulated with gentiles, I think it is offensive for gentiles to say they do not want to be assimulated with Jews.

So let us fight Zionist-racism, and let us fight the racism of the state of Israel, and let us fight the discrimination by Jews against gentiles – but let us not fight or insult one’s being Jewish or any but the truly racists aspects of the religion of Judaism.

As I said before: ZIONISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM ARE EVIL TWINS. THEY ARE BOTH IDEOLOGIES FOUNDED ON DISCRIMINATING AGAINST PEOPLE BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE JEWISH. IT IS HYPOCRITICAL TO ATTACK ONE WITHOUT ATTACKING THE OTHER.

[Doug]

EdFromNH,

The term "Gentile" is a racist term used by Jews to refer to everyone in the human race who is not Jewish. It indicates that the only thing that distinguishes us is that we aren't Jewish and that we "all look alike" to a Jew. It is roughly equivalent to the racist Japanese term "Gaijin", meaning everyone in the world who isn't Japanese.

The term "Anti-Semitism" is a racist term, which indicates that racism as practiced against Jews is somehow more heinous and worse than racism practiced against the rest of the 99.9% of humans. We don't need the term, we already have the term racism to describe racism. Jews are no more special that blacks or Asians or Hispanics or Europeans. Using the term "Anti-Semitism" shows that you think racism against Jews is worse than racism against the rest of us, because Jews are more important and thus more worthy of special protection.

There is nothing wrong with people of Jewish descent. Take a Jewish infant, raise it with no knowledge of Judaism, Zionism, or the Hebrew or Yiddish languages, and it will likely grow up to be a normal human being. However, if you inject the Jewish culture, religion, language or politics, into its brain, it will likely grow up to be a racist, thinking that it is better than those who are not also Jews.

And yes, there are a few Jews who do not support Zionism, but they do support the Jewish religion and culture, which are filled with the concept of Jewish superiority. They don't disagree with Zionists in principle, just in the execution. As for their numbers, they are probably less than 5% of the total Jewish population, which is itself less than 5% of the US population, though you wouldn't know that from all the Jews in controlling positions in our government and media. Like us, the non-Zionist Jews are generally prevented from voicing their opinions or are attacked as "self-hating Jews" when they manage to slip past the Zionist censors.

[Finii]

If the person is a Gentile, you cry, "You're anti-semitic" which is nothing more than a smokescreen to hide your actions.

But, if a Jew is the person doing the exposing, you resort to other tactics.

Clearly, Obama is not the zionist preferred candidate, but he should be Americans' preferred. Hopefully, Obama wins and jettisons the zionist parasite from the American body politic.

[Rowan Berkeley]

I don't agree that Milbank was writing "apparently without irony" - the piece is absolutely full of deliberately outré terminology, signifying irony.

[Jean]

Israel may be a leach, a beast and an illegal brutal occupier but the fact remains that it is our government supporting that rogue country with its apartheid system of governing which I've witnessed and with billions of our tax dollars and wanting to increae it for another 30 billion by 2018 - NUTS. The way to bring peace to the entire M.E. is to stop all aid to Israel and treat it as any other country. Iraq was bombed for occupying a country we encouraged it to bomb. israel has illegally ouccpied several countries, tortured, gassed, murdered thousands and stolen their lands and destroyed their homes or took them over, it sold weapons to both sides in Liberia, furnished spies like Pollard and "lost" one of the Israeli illegals in the US caught laughing and pointing as the Trade Center buildings fell and deported. It's a Communist type country with communes and government owned lands, uses collective punishment against international law, shoots children, breaks their gones with large rocks and butts of guns (CNN during Rabin's time). It is a danger to world peace and security and an international peace keeping force should be put there and force Israel back to the 1967 borders now, not later, and tear down the wall. Force them to pay reparations to Palestinians. So, that is the job of the United States. Once the special interest cabal is destroyed here by a new president, Israel will find itself more isolated - no money in the pockets of our politicians who sell their souls to keep that money flowing. It's past time! It's a foreign country with no allegiance to the US.

Considering how many writers obviously have figured out that Satan's progeny, the Jews, are the root of all evil, it is surprising that there isn't a bounty on the "chosen ones" heads. Since the FED'S inception, it always has been owned and operated by Jews. That's why all the Fed chairmen and other execs names sound Jewish. They ARE Jewish. The FED is privately owned, not a part of the government, and it never ever has been audited. Doesn't that make you feel good?

When will dumb Americans wake up.? They can't see that when the Zionists turn against Obama, Clinton will win. Watch the Jewish favours being called in and watch Clinton surge forward.
The Black Book will be used on Mc Caine and The Clinton's will take on leadership of the One World Government.
Welcome to Fabianism and or Communism and or O.W.G.

While I can understand the outrage over the statements about fealty to Israel, I think its also important to understand that Israel is a tiny state surrounded on ALL sides by hostile enemies hell bent on her utter destruction!

Couple this with centuries of persecution of Jews and the psychology this have created, and frankly; I can understand the sentiments and paranoias of many of the hard core lunatic fringe Zionists!

Israel is routinely vilified in the international press!

Israels ONLY true friend is the USA!

Hence, Israel cannot afford to lose the USAs backing!

I am NOT Jewish and frankly have no stake in the matter, save trying to keep the USA out of unnecessary wars, but, lets keep things in CONTEXT here!

West Coaster,

"I think its also important to understand that Israel is a tiny state surrounded on ALL sides by hostile enemies hell bent on her utter destruction!"

Correction: Israel is the 3rd most powerful military force in the world, is armed with hundreds of illegally obtained nuclear weapons, and has persistently rejected peace attempts made towards her by her neighbors and nearby Arab states. The Arabs continually try to negotiate peace, the Israelis continually reject it.

"Couple this with centuries of persecution of Jews and the psychology this have created"

First, we only "know" this because the Zionist controlled press continually repeats it. For all we know, this could be just another of the pro-Israel lies they spread.

Second, in my lifetime, Jews and Israel have gotten better treatment and more regard than any other people on earth. Jews control the US Federal Reserve, Jews control all the big banks, Jews control the cinema, print, and television media in all western countries. From what I see, Jews haven't been persecuted, but instead have been given a free pass.

Third, other people have suffered mightily throughout the history of the world. The Native American Indians continue to suffer, with a life expectancy of less than 40 years, for example.

Fourth, Jews have been the source of many other peoples' suffering. The Palestinians continue to suffer from the dispossession and military attacks perpetrated by Israel. The Jews were at the heart of the Soviet Bolshevik regime, with over half of the murderous NKVD officers being Jewish. Over 12 million ethnic Germans were displaced at the end of World War II and millions met their deaths in concentration camps in Poland, run by Jews such as Shlomo Morell, who is still wanted by the Polish government for crimes against humanity (see John Sacks' book "Eye For An Eye").

"Israel is routinely vilified in the international press!"

Rightfully so. If the US had free press not controlled by Zionists and their fellow travelers, they would be vilified in the US press, too.

"Israels ONLY true friend is the USA!"

Not really. It is more of a Slave-Master relationship than friendship. Americans are not allowed to have a free choice in the matter. Instead, Israeli Fifth Columnists have infiltrated positions of power in our government and media, and AIPAC is blackmailing our politicians in order to achieve this "friendship".

As for being friends, Israel has certainly not acted like a friend towards the US. Israel has attacked our naval ships on the high seas and killed dozens of our sailors (USS Liberty). Israel has bombed our embassies and tried to plant evidence to frame Arabs for the crime (Lavon Affair). Israel has sold our military secrets to the Russians and Chinese. Israel continues to spy on us and plant false evidence in our intelligence services to convince us to go to war and shed our precious blood on their behalf.

With "friends" like Israel, who needs enemies?

"Hence, Israel cannot afford to lose the USAs backing!"

Then they better rethink their approach because they have created an enemy in myself and in a growing number of my fellow Americans. You don't hear about us very often because, "friend" that she is, Israeli stooges prevent us from having our say in a free and open manner in our own country. Our ancestors died to get freedoms, which Israel routinely denies us the right to exercise.

"I am NOT Jewish and frankly have no stake in the matter, save trying to keep the USA out of unnecessary wars, but, lets keep things in CONTEXT here!"

Yes, context is important and when the true context is known, Israel is revealed as the naked aggressor and criminal state that she is.

Can "anti-semitism" still be considered an "irrational" "conspiracy-theorist" "psychosis" amongst American gentiles?

Can jewish actions still have absolutely no bearing on this "discriminatory hate"?

Can the jews still play the eternally persecuted by the "nazis" of Edward the first, "nazis" of Napoleon, "nazis" of the Catholic Church, "nazis" of Ferdinand and Isabella, "nazis" of Rome, "nazis" of...

"The role of the President of the United States is to support the decisions that are made by the people of Israel."

This is a comment Americans will not forget.
"Democracy" is supposed to mean the people will have their say, not "benevolent" jewish despotism, we will have our say.

[Satanic Kristol Visions]

I am sick an tired of hearing:

"Not all jews believe this", "stop being such an anti-semite". "I'm a jew and I don't believe this", "jews vote democrat", "I support Israel, but I don't support Lukid", "critisize Israel if you must, but lower your tone".

Such statements only serve to excuse the jewish supremacists who serve as priest council to our "representatives" in this "democratic" non-democracy.

I understand, some racial jews don't follow the the jewish religion. But the jewish religion is the basis of our out of control government; the mainstream reform and orthodox is our state religion.

This war in the middle east is a "Mitzfah", part of "Tikkun Olam". Each policy directed from the white house finds its origin and mission from the Talmud or Kaballa. Powerful jewish priests, warlocks, write the speaches and give council to our presidents.

I know some non-practicing racial jews, and know them to be nice people, but their religion, practiced, IS our out-of-control warstate government. Their religion can not be excused from the worldwide havoc that has inflicted our world, in the name of "Tikkun Olam" ("healing the world" for the benefit of the jews).

Their religion, is one-hundred times more desasterous for us than any Islamic fundamentalist could hope to have, should be removed from the united states government altogether.

Amazing!! Considering the amount of alliance and good relations we have with Great Britain and yet they will never conduct this kind of manipulation that Israel is doing to us. Every time there's an election they want to be the center of attention. I think that's the reason they are hard on Obama. Afraid that they'll not gonna influince him too much. McCain and Clinton are already sold.

[Nate G.]

“Sure, we can influence discussion in the public domain to alter the opinions of the Israeli people, but our directly backing one particular political party or another would be tantamount to the Israeli government declaring they supported Democrats or Republicans. And I don't think many Americans would stand for that and not complain.”

Newsflash Ron, Israeli firsters have been doing this for decades and the American sheeple haven’t complained because their uninformed. Sure, Zionists don’t have to choose between Dems and Republicans because both are bought and paid for with Zionist $. Remember a few elections ago and a certain politician suggested it was best to have an evenhanded policy concerning Israel and Palestine? Remember what happened?

I hate Zionist-racism, Jewish separatism and supremacism, and that illegitimate, racist, Jewish Aryan Nation built on land stolen by ethnic cleansing and terrorism, called Israel, as much as most of the people on this list. But, again, I find many of the broad insulting comments above against Jews and Judaism to be not only offensive, but also counter productive.

As I have said above, I have known many Jews who are decent human beings despite their fault of supporting Zionist-racism to varying degrees -- degrees that range from virtually not at all, to moderately racist, to quite offensive. (I find it difficult to get along with Jews who are openly extremely Zionist.) My first wife had a Jewish mother, and thus was, by Jewish law, Jewish, and despite the differences that caused our divorce, she was in many ways a wonderful woman. She commonly criticized Israelis, but she became very defensive if I criticized Israel.

We all have faults. Before the 1970’s the majority of Americans had varying degrees of racist beliefs against blacks roughly similar to the varying degrees of Zionist-racism among American Jews today. And despite this significant fault most Americans were then, like the majority of American Jews today, still basically decent people.

In the mid-Sixties I, like most Americans, initially resented Martin Luther King’s advocacy for black equality and an end to segregation. But it was precisely because he did not preach hatred towards white people that, over time, I and other American’s listened to him as much as we did. Because of his lack of personal hatred against us his advocacy was much more effective.

Today we find the racist comments of Rev. Wright deeply offensive, even though we understand the anti-black discrimination that caused the anger behind them. Let our criticisms against the ugly behaviors of many Jews not be as unreasoned and ugly as Rev. Wright's offensive comments. Let them be criticisms that are fair, and that are aimed at changing minds and behaviors rather than merely venting venomous anger.

If we want to make America a country where Jews give up their quest for ethnic supremacy and recognize that gentiles have the same right to criticize and discriminate against actions of Jews that threaten or offend gentiles as Jews do to criticize and discriminate against the actions of gentiles that threaten or offend them – if this is what we want, we should attack offensive Jewish behavior, itself, not Jews, themselves, except for the truly hateful or treasonous Zionist extremists; and not any of the many aspects of the great religion, Judaism, that are not themselves racist or offensively discriminatory.

We have a right to discriminate against Jews for discriminating against us or against others, such as the Palestinians. We have a right to broadcast just how offensive some of their racism is. We have a right to try to make them ashamed for such offensive behavior. But what is the purpose of discriminating against Jews merely for being Jewish; or merely for taking pride in Jewish ethnic identity and traditions, provided that pride does not become discriminatory; or in merely following those teachings of the Jewish religion which are not racist?

If we did any of the latter our behavior would be just as ugly as the Zionist-racism we oppose. If we did, what incentive would there be for Jews to give up their discrimination against us, since they would be discriminated against even if they did. And if we did, what percent of the many American gentiles who, like myself, work with and like many Jews, would be receptive to our message.

As I said before: ZIONISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM ARE EVIL TWINS. THEY ARE BOTH IDEOLOGIES FOUNDED ON DISCRIMINATING AGAINST PEOPLE BASED ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE JEWISH. IT IS HYPOCRITICAL TO ATTACK ONE WITHOUT ATTACKING THE OTHER.

[Lasher]

After a long and comprehensive study of the Jewish problem, I have come to the conclusion that Adolf Hitler was entirely justified in whatever actions he took against the Jews and Zionism in Germany.

I am in favor of segregating all the Jews from decent, normal people on an island somewhere, and prohibiting their traveling to other nations.

They are like a cancer on the world that needs to be cut away from the rest of us and isolated where they can only leech and sponge off themselves.

Ever since they stole the land now called Israel, there has been nothing but wars, turmoil and strife in the Middle East, where they do not fit in, and never will.

What Is Racism?
by Thomas Jackson

There is surely no nation in the world that holds "racism" in greater horror than does the United States. Compared to other kinds of offenses, it is thought to be somehow more reprehensible. The press and public have become so used to tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable texture of American life. "Racism" is never shrugged off. For example, when a white Georgetown Law School student reported earlier this year that black students are not as qualified as white students, it set off a booming, national controversy about "racism." If the student had merely murdered someone he would have attracted far less attention and criticism.
Racism is, indeed, the national obsession. Universities are on full alert for it, newspapers and politicians denounce it, churches preach against it, America is said to be racked with it, but just what *is* racism?
Dictionaries are not much help in understanding what is meant by the word. They usually define it as the belief that one's own ethnic stock is superior to others, or as the belief that culture and behavior are rooted in race. When Americans speak of racism they mean a great deal more than this. Nevertheless, the dictionary definition of racism is a clue to understanding what Americans *do* mean. A peculiarly American meaning derives from the current dogma that all ethnic stocks are equal. Despite clear evidence to the contrary, all races have been declared to be equally talented and hard- working, and anyone who questions the dogma is thought to be not merely wrong but evil.
The dogma has logical consequences that are profoundly important. If blacks, for example, are equal to whites in every way, what accounts for their poverty, criminality, and dissipation? Since any theory of racial differences has been outlawed, the only possible explanation for black failure is white racism. And since blacks are markedly poor, crime-prone, and dissipated, America must be racked with pervasive racism. Nothing else could be keeping them in such an abject state.
All public discourse on race today is locked into this rigid logic. Any explanation for black failure that does not depend on white wickedness threatens to veer off into the forbidden territory of racial differences. Thus, even if today's whites can find in their hearts no desire to oppress blacks, yesterday's whites must have oppressed them. If whites do not consciously oppress blacks, they must oppress them UNconsciously. If no obviously racist individuals can be identified, then *institutions* must be racist. Or, since blacks are failing so terribly in America, there simply must be millions of white people we do not know about, who are working day and night to keep blacks in misery. The dogma of racial equality leaves no room for an explanation of black failure that is not, in some fashion, an indictment of white people.
The logical consequences of this are clear. Since we are required to believe that the only explanation for non-white failure is white racism, every time a non-white is poor, commits a crime, goes on welfare, or takes drugs, white society stands accused of yet another act of racism. All failure or misbehavior by non-whites is standing proof that white society is riddled with hatred and bigotry. For precisely so long as non-whites fail to succeed in life at exactly the same level as whites, whites will be, by definition, thwarting and oppressing them. This obligatory pattern of thinking leads to strange conclusions. First of all, racism is a sin that is thought to be committed almost exclusively by white people. Indeed, a black congressman from Chicago, Gus Savage, and Coleman Young, the black mayor of Detroit, have argued that only white people *can* be racist. Likewise, in 1987, the affirmative action officer of the State Insurance Fund of New York issued a company pamphlet in which she explained that *all* whites are racist and that *only* whites can be racist. How else could the plight of blacks be explained without flirting with the possibility of racial inequality
Although some blacks and liberal whites concede that non-whites can, perhaps, be racist, they invariably add that non-whites have been forced into it as self-defense because of centuries of white oppression. What appears to be non-white racism is so understandable and forgivable that it hardly deserves the name. Thus, whether or not an act is called racism depends on the race of the racist. What would surely be called racism when done by whites is thought to be normal when done by anyone else. The reverse is also true.
Examples of this sort of double standard are so common, it is almost tedious to list them: When a white man kills a black man and uses the word "nigger" while doing so, there is an enormous media uproar and the nation beats its collective breast; when members of the black Yahweh cult carry out ritual murders of random whites, the media are silent (see AR of March, 1991). College campuses forbid pejorative statements about non-whites as "racist," but ignore scurrilous attacks on whites.
At election time, if 60 percent of the white voters vote for a white candidate, and 95 percent of the black voters vote for the black opponent, it is white who are accused of racial bias. There are 107 "historically black" colleges, whose fundamental blackness must be preserved in the name of diversity, but all historically white colleges must be forcibly integrated in the name of... the same thing. To resist would be racist.
"Black pride" is said to be a wonderful and worthy thing, but anything that could be construed as an expression of white pride is a form of hatred. It is perfectly natural for third-world immigrants to expect school instruction and driver's tests in their own languages, whereas for native Americans to ask them to learn English is racist.
Blatant anti-white prejudice, in the form of affirmative action, is now the law of the land. Anything remotely like affirmative action, if practiced in favor of whites, would be attacked as despicable favoritism.
All across the country, black, Hispanic, and Asian clubs and caucuses are thought to be fine expressions of ethnic solidarity, but any club or association expressly for whites is by definition racist. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) campaigns openly for black advantage but is a respected "civil rights" organization. The National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) campaigns merely for equal treatment of all races, but is said to be viciously racist.
At a few college campuses, students opposed to affirmative action have set up student unions for whites, analogous to those for blacks, Hispanics, etc, and have been roundly condemned as racists. Recently, when the white students at Lowell High School in San Francisco found themselves to be a minority, they asked for a racially exclusive club like the ones that non- whites have. They were turned down in horror. Indeed, in America today, any club not specifically formed to be a white enclave but whose members simply happen all to be white is branded as racist.
Today, one of the favorite slogans that define the asymmetric quality of American racism is "celebration of diversity." It has begun to dawn on a few people that "diversity" is always achieved at the expense of whites (and sometimes men), and never the other way around. No one proposes that Howard University be made more diverse by admitting whites, Hispanics, or Asians. No one ever suggests that National Hispanic University in San Jose (CA) would benefit from the diversity of having non-Hispanics on campus. No one suggests that the Black Congressional Caucus or the executive ranks of the NAACP or the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund suffer from a lack of diversity. Somehow, it is perfectly legitimate for them to celebrate *homogeneity*. And yet any all-white group - a company, a town, a school, a club, a neighborhood - is thought to suffer from a crippling lack of diversity that must be remedied as quickly as possible. Only when whites have been reduced to a minority has "diversity" been achieved.
Let us put it bluntly: To "celebrate" or "embrace" diversity, as we are so often asked to do, is no different from *deploring an excess of whites.* In fact, the entire nation is thought to suffer from an excess of whites. Our current immigration policies are structured so that approximately 90 percent of our annual 800,000 legal immigrants are non-white. The several million illegal immigrants that enter the country every year are virtually all non-white. It would be racist not to be grateful for this laudable contribution to "diversity." It is, of course, only white nations that are called upon to practice this kind of "diversity." It is almost criminal to imagine a nation of any other race countenancing blatant dispossession of this kind.
What if the United States were pouring its poorest, least educated citizens across the border into Mexico? Could anyone be fooled into thinking that Mexico was being "culturally enriched?" What if the state of Chihuahua were losing its majority population to poor whites who demanded that schools be taught in English, who insisted on celebrating the Fourth of July, who demanded the right to vote even if they weren't citizens, who clamored for "affirmative action" in jobs and schooling?
Would Mexico - or any other non-white nation - tolerate this kind of cultural and demographic depredation? Of course not. Yet white Americans are supposed to look upon the flood of Hispanics and Asians entering their country as a priceless cultural gift. They are supposed to "celebrate" their own loss of influence, their own dwindling numbers, their own dispossession, for to do otherwise would be hopelessly racist.
There is another curious asymmetry about American racism. When non- whites advance their own racial purposes, no one ever accuses them of "hating" another group. Blacks can join "civil rights" groups and Hispanics can be activists without fear of being branded as bigots and hate mongers. They can agitate openly for racial preferences that can come only at the expense of whites. They can demand preferential treatment of all kinds without anyone ever suggesting that they are "anti-white."
Whites, on the other hand, need only express their opposition to affirmative action to be called haters. They need only subject racial policies that are clearly prejudicial to themselves to be called racists. Should they actually go so far as to say that they prefer the company of their own kind, that they wish to be left alone to enjoy the fruits of their European heritage, they are irredeemably wicked and hateful.
Here, then is the final, baffling inconsistency about American race relations. All non-whites are allowed to prefer the company of their own kind, to think of themselves as groups with interests distinct from those of the whole, and to work openly for group advantage. None of this is thought to be racist. At the same time, *whites* must *also* champion the racial interests of non-whites. They must sacrifice their own future on the altar of "diversity" and cooperate in their own dispossession. They are to encourage, even to subsidize, the displacement of a European people and culture by alien peoples and cultures. To put it in the simplest possible terms, white people are cheerfully to slaughter their own society, to commit racial and cultural suicide. To refuse to do so would be racism.
Of course, the entire non-white enterprise in the United States is perfectly natural and healthy. Nothing could be more natural than to love one's people and to hope that it should flourish. Filipinos and El Salvadorans are doubtless astonished to discover that simply by setting foot in the United States they are entitled to affirmative action preferences over native-born whites, but can they be blamed for accepting them? Is it surprising that they should want their languages, their cultures, their brothers and sisters to take possession and put their mark indelibly on the land? If the once-great people of a once-great nation is bent upon self-destruction and is prepared to hand over land and power to whomever shows up and asks for it, why should Mexicans and Cambodians complain?
No, it is the white enterprise in the United States that is unnatural, unhealthy, and without historical precedent. Whites have let themselves be convinced that it is racist merely to object to dispossession, much less to work for their own interests. Never in the history of the world has a dominant people thrown open the gates to strangers, and poured out its wealth to aliens. Never before has a people been fooled into thinking that there was virtue or nobility in surrendering its heritage, and giving away to others its place in history. Of all the races in America, only whites have been tricked into thinking that a preference for one's own kind is racism. Only whites are ever told that a love for their own people is somehow "hatred" of others. All healthy people prefer the company of their own kind, and it has nothing to do with hatred. All men love their families more than their neighbors, but this does not mean that they hate their neighbors. Whites who love their racial family need bear no ill will towards non-whites. They only wish to be left alone to participate in the unfolding of their racial and cultural destinies.
What whites in America are being asked to do is therefore utterly unnatural. They are being asked to devote themselves to the interests of other races and to ignore the interests of their own. This is like asking a man to forsake his own children and love the children of his neighbors, since to do otherwise would be "racist."
What then, is "racism?" It is considerably more than any dictionary is likely to say. It is any opposition by whites to official policies of racial preference for non-whites. It is any preference by whites for their own people and culture. It is any resistance by whites to the idea of becoming a minority people. It is any unwillingness to be pushed aside. It is, in short, any of the normal aspirations of people-hood that have defined nations since the beginning of history - but only so long as the aspirations are those of whites.
