Philo-Semitism is racism
Norwegian daily newspaper Nationen (Oslo) published an op-ed attacking Israel Shamir on Nov. 28.
Here is his reply. As sooner or later everyone gets attacked as an anti-Semite, it could be useful as a blank standard reply.
I do not like philo-Semites, i.e. people choosing to fight anti-Semitism, of all ills. In this world, so full of trouble and real suffering, there is something deeply pervert in persons preferring to protect and support — not the poor, not the refugees, not the oppressed, but the wealthy, influential and well-connected group actively engaged in ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The chief proponent of this well-endowed movement is an American Jew, the head of ADL, Abe Foxman.
Two years ago he was caught taking large sums of money from the superthief Marc Rich, a crook who cheated American tax-payer and found refuge in Switzerland. For years Foxman and his organization collected dossiers on people who objected to apartheid and sold them to Mossad and to South Africa of Forster. They broke into houses, stole documents, run professional surveillance of the left activists in California. Last year, Foxman and ADL were found guilty in the US court of law, and paid millions of dollars to people they intimidated and smeared. Foxman’s best chum is Ariel Sharon, the mass murderer of Sabra, Shatila, Kibie and Jenin.
A new book by Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon, “The Assassination of Robert Maxwell: Israel’s Super Spy” confirms the professional philo-Semites have permanent ties with Mossad, the long arm of Israeli apartheid, memorable to you by Lillehammer murders. In brief, the philo-Semites are sleazy guys taking money from sleazy crooks in order to cover up the creeping genocide of Palestinians.
It is not strange, as the very emphasis on “anti-Semitism” is disgustingly racist, as if it were worse than racism against anyone else. People who decry “anti-Semitism,” instead of “racism” or “ethnic-prejudice,” are actually saying that there is something really special — and particularly bad — about discrimination against this one particular group. In other words, they are racists.
Your average Norwegian does not hesitate to say he dislikes Swedes. Sometimes he corrects himself and says he actually hates Swedes. Older Norwegians freely speak of their hatred to Germans. So do Jews: Recent bestseller by a philo-Semite Goldhagen called all Germans ‘willing executioners of Hitler’. “Every Jew must maintain in his heart holy hatred to Germans”, quoth Elie Wiesel, another professional philo-Semite. Somehow nobody is worried about these racist statements; Wiesel even received Nobel Peace Prize from the Norwegian Academy.
Germans are not exclusion. A Jewish scribe, Daniel Pipes, wrote a piece together with a Dane Lars Hedegaard in the Canadian daily National Post (Aug. 27, 2002), published by the Jewish media lord, Israel Asper, a great friend of my country, saying:
“Predominantly Muslim immigrants constitute 5 percent of the population but consume upwards of 40 percent of the welfare spending. Muslims are only 4 percent of Denmark’s 5.4 million people but make up a majority of the country’s convicted rapists, an especially combustible issue given that practically all the female victims are non-Muslim”. I am not sure one can be more racist than that, even if one mobilizes Der Sturmer. But somehow nobody is worried about it.
The racist talk of anti-Semitism is used to protect Israeli racism. It is amazing that some people still pay attention to it, and their crocodile tears drip into newspapers. I wonder why the Third Reich did not try to stop the Allied forces by claiming they are led by ‘anti-German prejudice’. One imagines Russian soldiers at Stalingrad listen to such a broadcast and drop their weapons in shame. Or is it only anti-Jewish prejudice that is objectionable? Apparently, it is the case for philo-Semites: The Guardian wrote about assassinated Dutch racist leader that though he hated Muslims and Arabs, he was not a bad guy, as he liked Jews. Can one be more racist than that?
The piece by Christine Mohn is true to its racist genre. She described me as “an ethnic Jew who defines himself as a Christian”. Like Adolf Hitler, she thinks “once a Jew, forever a Jew”, baptism notwithstanding, he can only “define himself as a Christian”. However, non-racists are of different opinion. A philo-Semite is a potential Jew, as he considers Jews being more equal than other people. A Jew by birth can leave Jewry if he believes in equality of Man as did St. Paul, Marx and Trotsky. Here the opinions of the church and of the Communist Party coincide.
Indeed, that was the vision of Abram Leon, a young follower of Trotsky, who perished in Auschwitz in 1944. In his important book, “The Jewish Question: Marxist Interpretation” (I am grateful to Noam Chomsky who introduced me to this author), this communist of Jewish origin described the Jews, “people-class”, historically attuned to exploitation of others. A man of Jewish origin always could leave ‘the Jews’ and join mankind, wrote Leon.
But Ms. Mohn is totally ignorant of Judaism. She writes: “The phenomenon of “Chosen-ness”, as understood in Jewish tradition, has nothing to do with closeness to God or superiority versus non-Jews”. We can believe her, or we can believe the late chief rabbi of Israel, the greatest modern proponent of Judaism, Rabbi Kook, who wrote: “The difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle.” (Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky, Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel, p 9)
Philo-Semites would like us to speak ‘good, or nothing’ about Jewishness. But this is the prerogative of dead. In the modern discourse, we freely discuss shortcomings of Islam and Christianity, of capitalism and communism, and indeed, Jewishness should be discussed as well. It is not a racist discourse: Leading modern debunkers of Jewishness are people of Jewish origin from Karl Marx to Israel Shahak. It is not a right-wing discourse either: The First International of Marx condemned, after long and lively debate, philo-Semites as well as anti-Semites.
Racists are often nasty and stupid. Indeed, Christine Mohn succeeded to concoct a nasty piece proving her inability to read and understand the text. For instance, she writes, “The most important content in Shamir’s political agenda is that Jews are best characterized as Christ-murderers”, while I write just an opposite: “There is no collective guilt over many generations. The Jews should not be blamed for killing Christ anymore than French blamed for sending Joan of Arc to the stake.”(Freak Factory, www.israelshamir.net )
Her other claims are equally wrong.
To conclude, I would quote an American socialist thinker Dave Kersting: “We should feel offended by this dramatic concern about anti-Semitism — at a time of OPENLY racist horrors against the NON-Jewish population of Palestine, who are suffering from the UNDISGUISED ethnic-supremacy of the Zionists. Disproportionate concern about “anti-Semitism” is a key weapon in the most brazen ACTUAL ethnic violence of our time and place”.
