Bibi Netanyahu is contesting his umpteenth general election later this month. From the Jewish Telegraph Association news wire:
Benjamin Netanyahu: Court ruling creates danger of Israel being ‘overrun’ by ‘fake’ converts from Africa
BY BEN SALES MARCH 9, 2021 7:43 PM(JTA) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his take Tuesday on a recent Supreme Court decision requiring the government to recognize Reform and Conservative conversions performed in Israel: It could lead to the country being “overrun” with “fake” Jewish converts from Africa.
… He suggested that the court decision could allow African asylum seekers to take advantage of Israel’s Law of Return, which grants automatic citizenship to any Jew who applies.
“The real question we have is [how] to prevent fake conversions that could enter the country,” he said in the interview, which was broadcast by the Tel Aviv International Salon. “You know, a lot of people want to come into Israel. In fact, I put up a fence, they call it a wall, but I prevented the overrunning of Israel, which is the only first-world country that you can walk to from Africa. We would have had here already a million illegal migrants from Africa, and the Jewish state would have collapsed.”

My stuff is my stuff. Your stuff? ... we'll talk.
People here are reading this as "Jews say diversity for thee but not for me ergo they are hypocrites" but the Jews who are for open borders in America are also for open borders in Israel, while Netanyahu is for neither.
The reason why Netanyahu is making this a campaign issue is because he is trying to paint his opponents as "open borders" type guys while he is the "I built the wall" guy - exactly like his buddy Trump (except Netanyahu actually built his wall). If everyone in Israel, indeed Jews everywhere, agreed with the right winger Netanyahu that Israel should have a border fence then he wouldn't be campaigning on this issue. But he is because he has his own Leftists to campaign against.
If you read what Netanyahu wrote, he is saying that Israel is in an even more exposed position than Europe. The illegal African migrants in Europe all have to come by boat but in Israel they could just walk in. There are a LOT more Africans than there are Mexicans and Israel is a much smaller country.Replies: @anonymous, @Cido, @bigdicknick, @AnotherDad, @Paperback Writer, @Anonymous

Fake converts – that is interesting too. – No country for people of the wrong faith. So: There is still a right faith and a wrong faith there. – Perfectly clear that. A million miles away from the postmodernist – obfuscations elsewhere (in Harvard and at the Oberlin College and in Berlin etc. pp.). Premodern even, this Netanjahu man. –

Naturally the Law of Return doesn't apply if you are an African animist or Christian since you are not "returning" to your homeland.Replies: @Jon, @black sea
Bibi calls them fake converts but there are thousands of Ethiopians with Jewish heritage stranded in Ethiopia. Most of them have relatives already living in Israel. By not allowing them to return, Bibi is really saying that some are more chosen than others.

Luke Ford estimated once that it took an IQ of 110 to convert to Orthodox Judaism, if they went by the book. Hence Netanyahu’s opposition to easier conversions.
What estimate did Obi-Wan Chevy give?
Well, we know what leader is serious about protecting his country, at least.

Islam converts with the scimitar, only accepting the Prophet Mohammed saves from death in a jihad (sacred war). Christianity demands a declaration of true faith, which is rather difficult to prove. Judaism does not seek converts, and rejects those with some material incentive. We do not convert children and doubt conversions done for escaping the poverty of Africa.
What would be an accepted form of conversion?
What does it mean to doubt conversions for escaping poverty in Africa? - prove the mentality (the motivations) to be wrong? Or make it shorter and say: you try to escape poverty, so we don't believe your conversion?Replies: @BB753, @J.Ross, @Nachum
OT – in the UK feminists are getting all stirred up about the case of a pretty white woman called Sarah Everard who was abducted from the streets of South London and murdered – allegedly (there’s been no trial, just an arrest) not by the usual suspects but by a serving, armed Diplomatic Protection Officer of the Met. Generally when a uniformed officer asks you to get in his car it’s politic to do as he asks, especially when you may have been breaching lockdown by visiting a friend.
Naturally the feminists are milking this one. A Green Party politician suggested that men should be subject to curfews and off the streets after 6pm.
She was missing for several days so her photo was on every front page and news report, unlike the usual murder where a body is found pretty quickly.
And, as chance would have it, a Guardianista, the exceedingly posh Marina Hyde (alma mater Princess Di’s old school, married to a senior BBC exec), gets harassed and abused in the street on Thursday afternoon, while picking up her small children from school.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/mar/12/what-happened-women-uk-harassed-street
Her description of the abuser is non-existent. If her abuser was white she’d have mentioned it.
We only get a description of his jacket.
I imagine she’s describing this jacket.
People in London have learned that tangling with that kind of person (mentally ill black guys) can get them stabbed to death.
Israel, like America, has lots of crazy leftists who don’t believe in borders. But Israeli leftists haven’t succeeded in forming the high-low coalition that has put leftists in charge in America. The Israeli Jewish lower class mostly votes Likud (Netanyahu).
Now the Arabs do support the left and at 22% of the electorate you might think they should be even more powerful than blacks, at 13%, are in the US. But here’s the difference: Arabs aren’t considered “cool”. In America, lots of whites vote Democrat because blacks like the Democrats. But in Israel, being the “Arab” party is a big net minus in the eyes of 95% of the Jews.

Another NYT data article illustrating the idiocy of avoiding common sense mnemonic color selections for the display of race information:
The pandemic has been a story of two lines — haves and have-nots — moving in different directions.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/03/11/opinion/covid-inequality-race-gender.html
I first looked at this as a sort of IQ test: by looking at the line trends I thought I was supposed to guess which was black, white, and Hispanic. There is no legend, and the race names are in the table, but ambiguosly positioned with respect to lines. I finally figured out that the names were in the color of the line they refered to, harder to see in the thin font than you might think if you’re not looking for it.
The world needs developed countries like Israel and Japan with policies showing that the often assumed inevitability of mass migration is a lie.
This only shows that Israeli definition of Jewish peoplehood is inadequate.

The Arabs need to find a way to get weaponized by the left-wing Jews against the right-wing Jews, similar to what we do here in the USA. Start by calling the right-wing Jews racist, and the left-wing Jews too if they don’t fall in line. Or don’t they care about that?
People here use an imaginary Israel as a bogeyman - see the Jews know what to do to defend their national interests in their homeland but they won't let us do the same! This imaginary Israel has nothing to do with the actual Israel which is deeply divided just like every other modern Western democracy. Nor do Israelis actually care what the US or Europe does to defend their borders - that's really none of their concern either way. Although there are Israeli companies that are very interested in selling them border defense technology.
The US still has a 70% white population while blacks are only 13% and Jews maybe 2%. So if blacks and Jews are somehow setting the agenda in the US, they are only able to do so because they have a lot of white (non-Jewish) supporters. Instead of worrying all the time about the blacks and the Jews, why don't y'all focus on your fellow white people and figure out why white people are doing this.

There is an Orthodox Jewish outreach effort, but instead of seeking converts from without, it [incidentally grants racial Judaism and] “proselytizes” to atheist, lapsed, liberal and reformed Jews.
It’s not screamingly successful.
- Judaism is a religion, according to which one is a Jew either by being born to a Jewish mother or by undergoing a valid conversion;
- Conversion is not restricted by race;
- In so far as remaining bound by the obligations and restrictions of Judaism, the rule is once a Jew (whether by birth or by (valid) conversion), always a Jew.
- By law (i.e., halakhah), however, Jews who are deemed apostates, heretics, and certain categories of flagrant sinners, however, are (to varying degrees, ranging from partially to practically entirely) ostracized from participation in the religious rites and community. In practice, the degree to which such ostracization is enforced varies considerably between communities. There are numerous reasons for this, some valid, some questionable, some invalid. A fuller treatment, from a past comment of mine follows.Ultimately, while Judaism can be classified as a religion, and perhaps as an ethnicity as well, entities of and related-to Judaism, Jews and Jewishness are not easily mapped to distinct, discrete classifications of religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, etc. as commonly understood and accepted. As I have repeatedly pointed-out, those of us who fall within the broad category of identifying as or (at least potentially) being identified by others as Jews cannot even agree on how to define one.Those who argue that Judaism is primarily or even exclusively a tribal identity rather than a religion are guilty of (a) conflating what are two overlapping but nonetheless distinct concepts, and (b) ignoring or glossing-over facts such as that Judaism accepts sincere, committed converts of just about any birth, while it rejects born-Jews who renounce or flout the religion to a degree that they are deemed as apostates or heretics. Even one whose transgressions merely place him in the lesser category of wanton/flagrant public sinner is still excluded from the community to a considerable, if not overwhelming degree. To the extent that such ostracization is not enforced (or not de facto enforced) in practice (which, admittedly, is often the reality on the ground) it is generally due to one or more of the following reasons: (a) ignorance of the relevant Judaic laws; (b) ambiguity or apprehension over their practical application; (c) laxity, esp. that motivated by disincentives to enforcement; (d) valid rabbinic ruling under which the culpability of the individual-in-question for his transgressions is at least largely mitigated based upon his background and circumstances in life; (e) means justifies the end rationale in which the potential for drawing the individual closer and inspiring him to repentance is deemed the over-riding consideration. A variant of this is fear that censuring or rebuffing the individual would drive him toward active hostility, possibly even violence. Such calculations may or not, depending upon the specific factors involved, be halakhicaly valid.For those interested in the topic, I highly recommend Is Judaism a Nationality?, a YouTube video of a lecture delivered by Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro in September 2019 at the International Council for Middle East Studies' (ICMES) Faith, Community and Culture conference held in British Colombia.
My favorite African religious fact is the tribe which arrived at the god and devil dualism model, recognizes the goodness of the one god, but sacrifices to the devil: because god is already on your side.

Anyway, I’ve always found it, um, intriguing that Hungary and Poland caught more flak for objecting to Syrian refugees than Israel did. Israel is literally right next door to Syria. How many Syrian refugees have they admitted?
Didn’t Israelis learn any lessons from the S.S. St Louis???
Why would Israel admit Muslim refugees? Why are they supposed too? I not aware of Israel ever having any policy saying that Muslim refugees must be admitted into Europe. Hungary and Poland get refugee flak from stupid Angela Merkel and her Germanic run EU.
They certainly wouldn’t want to be like America, over-run by negroes.

People eligible to be Israeli citizens, that live in other countries, especially the USA, are the most strident open border pro immigration types. They hate our partial wall but (many) love Bibi’s wall.
(Smile, look at the camera, tap head.)
Meanwhile “Lord” Alf Dubs and Israeli-born Jewess Rachel Shabi insist Britain should take in more child refugees 2/3 of whom are really adults. Their moral high ground is Germany’s past “sins” aka anti-semitism.
In America Earl Raab used the same logic in 1993 to justify open borders. Likewise Eastern European Jews supported blacks in South Africa because of alleged maltreatment back in Tsarist Russia.
Africans and other immigrants are good in countries where they are competing with European goyim but not in their ethnostate.
That’s why Kevin MacDonald calls organized Jewry a group survival strategy.

Self-identified Jewish Zionists in the diaspora are often the most aggressive in demanding that gentile-majority nations open their borders to anyone and everyone. Right-wing Zionists in the West copiously fund left-wing pro-immigration groups, while advocating for their exclusionist State.

Israel has a law called “Law of Return”. The idea is that Israel was founded as a refuge for Jews so you would never again have a situation like the SS St. Louis where Jews were fleeing from (cough German cough) oppression but had no place to go. There are a bazillion countries for Christians and Muslims but there is only one little tiny country that is the Jewish state (and apparently people even begrudge them that). It’s called the Law of Return based on the premise that Jews were originally from Israel so when they emigrate to Israel they are merely going back home.
Naturally the Law of Return doesn’t apply if you are an African animist or Christian since you are not “returning” to your homeland.

Do you have any source that the Jews in USA want open borders in Israel ?
I would love to see Will Witt walk around New York sticking a camera in every Jew’s face to ask the obvious.
And that's on the right. (Well, in Stephens' case, the so-called "right.") On the left, pretty much every leftist Jew in America thinks Israel should be admitting "refugees" wholesale, and a whole bunch of Israel's very few leftists feel similarly.
On the other hand, there are some Israeli leftists who are just fine with the wall, but probably think the US needs more immigrants, while there are at least some American Jewish "right-wingers" who defend anything Israel does, including this, but think Trump is eeeeevil for wanting to keep out Mexicans.

They do exactly that. There are Jewish “Peace Now” activists in Israel who are constantly suing the government over “human rights violations” in the West Bank, etc. There are just not enough of them to elect a government, even combined with the considerable Arab population. Perhaps the fact that all Israelis know that Hamas and Iran would like to exterminate them prevents more Israelis from drifting into modern self-destructive modes of thinking. Israel’s large ex-Soviet population is also allergic to Leftism – real life experience with life under a Leftist regime will do that to you. Although it is very close – the situation in Israel is not unlike that in the US in that both the right and the left hover right around 50% – the reason they keep having elections is that neither Netanyahu nor the opposition has been able to put together a clear majority.

No one knows except the police who've interviewed him. But police officers will sometimes ask you to sit in the car if they're not going to arrest you but give you a lecture for some infraction where the paperwork makes a booking too much hassle (or they think you won't do it again).
On this occasion (if reports are correct) she was walking home from a friends, which is probably in breach of the lockdown rules. So if he asked her to sit in the car while he questioned her about it, she'd obey (as would I).

You’ve been called out on this blatant lie multiple times on here, but here you go again, reposting it.
Please provide some opinion polling of US jews supporting the idea that they want the same border policies for the US and Israel.
jews are about 80% democrats (defacto supporting open borders for the US) and 80% pro-israel(defacto supporting closed borders for Israel)
because 80% + 80% = 160% there must be a huge overlap between these groups.

Ironically, back in the 1930s, Coke, at the behest of the American Jewish community, reformulated its product to use vegetable glycerin rather than animal derived glycerin so that it could be certified as kosher (there is a tiny amount of glycerin in Coke – it is used as a flavor carrier for the secret flavoring extract). American Jews at that time were in an assimilationist mode and they wanted their kids to be able to enjoy a Coke with their non-Jewish friends and Coke wanted Jewish customers. They even disclosed their secret formula to Atlanta’s rabbi so he could determine whether it contained only kosher ingredients.

People here are reading this as "Jews say diversity for thee but not for me ergo they are hypocrites" but the Jews who are for open borders in America are also for open borders in Israel, while Netanyahu is for neither.
The reason why Netanyahu is making this a campaign issue is because he is trying to paint his opponents as "open borders" type guys while he is the "I built the wall" guy - exactly like his buddy Trump (except Netanyahu actually built his wall). If everyone in Israel, indeed Jews everywhere, agreed with the right winger Netanyahu that Israel should have a border fence then he wouldn't be campaigning on this issue. But he is because he has his own Leftists to campaign against.
If you read what Netanyahu wrote, he is saying that Israel is in an even more exposed position than Europe. The illegal African migrants in Europe all have to come by boat but in Israel they could just walk in. There are a LOT more Africans than there are Mexicans and Israel is a much smaller country.Replies: @anonymous, @Cido, @bigdicknick, @AnotherDad, @Paperback Writer, @Anonymous
Whoa boy.
Jack, AFAICT you’re right about Netanyahu. He’s a Jewish nationalist, but seems a consistent nationalist. His general view seems to be “the barbarians are at the gates!”. Maybe he picked up some realist views of Africans in high school with you in Philadelphia (Montgomery County)? And i get the impression–from his nods and winks–that he’d like to see the West–particularly America–close their borders and survive. He wants healthy Western allies for Israel.
But, of course, the reason Netanyahu doesn’t come out and openly say “nationalism for all”, “the West needs to keep the barbarians out” is precisely because
Every single American establishment Jewish organization is pro-immigration, “drown-the-gentiles-in-diversity” open-borders lunacy … while supporting Israel.
Exactly “diversity for thee, but not for me”. Or “anti-nationalism for thee; a nation for me”.
This is the median stance of American Jewry as well. Sure their are more true believing woke loons, and more actual American patriots (Stephen Miller types). But the median American Jew is still exactly this sort of anti-nationalism here, nationalism for Israel hypocrite–or simply “tribalist”. The “we get to go anywhere and loot anywhere” ideology seems to be deeply woven in the Ashkenazi psyche. Zionism is a recent “nice to have” add-on.
If you can afford to stick around Another 50 years or so, those groups will be way less numerous, smaller, as Jewish as a ham sandwich, non-influential, but more strident and desperate than ever.

That reason is not “White guilt.”

That reason is not “high mindedness.”

Whites know that if they say one wrong word, they could ruin their life instantaneously. Heck, just by failing to condemn racism in the strongest terms available, you can easily ruin your life.
You can get fired from your job, financially ruined, slandered by the media, harassed on social media, and viewed as a pariah by mainstream society. In very serious cases, you can get subjected to violence from Anti-Fa and/or a Black mob.
This is why Whites behave in such a deferential matter with respect to racial issues.
It’s FEAR of losing it all that keeps Whites in check.
However, if you go back many decades ago (especially pre-60s), there were minimal (if any) penalties associated with racist speech. That’s why Whites used to advocate for their interests so forcefully back in the old days.
Imagine you have a society full of religious Catholics. Then the Lutherans invade the country, decimate the Catholic Churches, and persecute all fervent Catholics. What would you expect to happen in such a society?
3 things
1. Mass conversion from Catholicism to Lutheranism.
2. Ambitious people becoming especially likely to advocate Lutheran theology.
3. Ordinary people becoming very hesitant to make any pro-Catholic or anti-Lutheran statements.
Whites aren’t as foolish as everyone here perceives. By becoming “Woke” on racial issues, Whites are making a strategic decision that’s actually quite shrewd on an individual level.
It may not be a shrewd decision on a group level, but you have to remember that Whites have no group solidarity left. They’ve become very individualistic and socially isolated from one another in recent times. They inhabit a social milieu that’s highly atomized. So Whites behave as individuals, not members of a group.
Unfortunately, what makes sense on an individual level is harmful on a group level. It’s a prisoner’s dilemma.
As to the question of why individual White leaders/activists don’t attempt to organize their population into a cohesive and united group, it’s because those individuals would be punished harshly. So would anyone who collaborated.
You have to remember that the overwhelming majority of Whites are highly emasculated and effete these days, having been softened up by generations of comfort, affluence, and easy living. The average White no longer has any fight left in him. He just wants to enjoy life, have fun, eat out, go shopping, take vacations, watch sports ball, drink beer. He’s not looking to risk it all in some type of racial confrontation. So even if most Whites secretly hate PC, they’re not going to take a bullet fighting back.
As to the question of why the ruling class is so fanatically hostile to Whites, it’s because Jews supplanted Anglo-Saxons decades ago. Once in power, the new Jewish elites began harshly persecuting Whites who advocated for White interests. At this point, the persecution is comically over the top.
To be sure, there are many White Gentiles left in the elite, but they are kept in check through a combination of bribery, coercion, and Epstein-style sexual blackmail. For example, Bill Clinton.
White Gentile elites are the outer party. Jewish elites are the inner party.
Jewish elites know they need allies. So they stoke Black rage. They also promote an extreme amount of immigration into the US, then brainwash those immigrants (and more especially their kids) into becoming enemies of “White privilege.” Blacks and non-white immigrants have been turned into the fifth column of America.
White racism is the Emmanuel Goldstein of our empire. Failure to condemn Goldstein in the harshest terms will result in punishment.
Watch this clip below to better understand why so many Whites are so eager to fight White racism.

Some have predicted that in the near future, a debt crisis will destroy our currency and cause the current regime to collapse. If that ever happens, then you will see the number of “Woke” Whites plummet dramatically. If there comes a time when Jews lose power, Whites will stop this racial self-flagellation very quickly. If there comes a day when Whites no longer have to fear being punished for being politically incorrect, you will see a massive change in how Whites discuss racial issues.
FEAR of punishment keeps Whites in line.

Lol when did Israel withdrawal from the convention on refugees.
There’s less than 200 countries. Going by numbers jews should get at best a half of country. If you were going to benchmark it off Christianity (nowhere near that percentage of countries are exclusively Christian) then it’s an abomination to fairness for Jews to get to maintain an effectively racial supremacist state considering their numbers.
Typical Jewish hypocrisy.
Israel aside, it seems that most anti-judaist rhetoric is based on assumptions that US Jews somehow control the US, or at least public discourse re self-definition of America.
This is not true.
Jews are over-represented in US oligarchic structures & they constitute ca. 15-20% of elites. But most of the big players are deracinated white Gentiles who don’t give a hoot about the historical US. Where are Gates, Bezos, Buffet or Murdoch when it comes to funding & defending proper American identity (Washington, Lee, Jefferson, Twain,…)? Nowhere to be seen. Does anyone seriously believe that Soros is so powerful that he could fund everything, from BLM to suicidal Democrats’ policies?
Where are “real”, WASPy American intellectuals, media personalities, moneyed elites, …? What are they doing?
You could abolish all Jewish media blather & their ethnic lobbies (ADL, AIPAC, …) & things would not be much different. With most Protestant churches & Catholic Church preaching unlimited immigration, multiculturalism & la-di-da idiocies, things would be more or less the same.
Let’s see popular media figures. Does anyone sincerely believe that Colbert, Kimmel, O’Brien, Brzezinski, Maddow, … are Jewish pawns in some globalist multiculturalist plot?
This is all tiresome.
True, most US Jews are leftists-multiculturalists. Their organized institutions will not fight for historic American nation; they are, certainly because of history, mostly uneasy about true, blood-and-soil identity peoples among whom they dwell. A big chunk of them after WW2 had adopted a position of antipathy or something similar towards European peoples, and when they could, they pushed for ethnic swamping of the US, Europe, Australia, Canada,… They, as a distinctive population, don’t have activist groups struggling for preservation of historic “white” lands. I don’t have any illusion about them as activists- they are not friends, far from that.
Just:
a) they can’t achieve anything where local peoples don’t accept this mutiracial shit. They can’t do anything in Hungary, Poland, Russia, Argentina, ….. Only when local power structures are either greedy or loony, this can happen. Is Angela Merkel a pawn for anti-German Jews. If you think so, I’ve got a Taj Mahal to sell. Simply, Germans, as most affluent whites are decadent loons when it comes to national identity. Danes, for instance, are not. French are a mixture, but it’s not Jews behind French & Italian cowardly behavior toward immigration problems.
b) if one thinks that Jewish activists & their media manipulation have somehow mentally disfigured various white peoples – then, mostly Anglo white peoples don’t have a right to exist. If “Jews” have achieved that Robert E. Lee, Ronald Fisher or Washington got cancelled- then, those people who have let them get away with it, should vanish from the face of earth. They, along with their multiculti Jews & Afro-Asian-Mestizo stew, will be replaced by more normal & functioning peoples.

I should write a small addendum to that post.
I do think Whites of Northern Euro origin (Anglos, Dutch, Scandinavians, Germans) are, on average, more civic-minded than other ethnic groups. I also think that a certain proportion of them really do have what you could call "White guilt." However, the overwhelming majority of Whites still believe in policies that advance their interests (within reason) and disdain anything excessively foolish.
For example, the median White believes in sending food and water to refugees. However, he doesn't want to bring millions of refugees into America. Especially not if they're Muslim or African. The problem is that Whites no longer live in anything resembling a democracy, so decisions are made by powerful Jewish oligarchs. If you dissent from their agenda, they'll call you a "racist" and ruin your life. They'll get you fired and get you banished from the middle-class.
Another example. The median White believes it's okay to teach about all aspects of American history (including negative aspects like slavery and segregation), but he's still generally positive and upbeat about the accomplishments of past generations of Americans. He thinks America might be imperfect, but who isn't? He still thinks America is the best country in the world. However, Whites no longer get to write their own history books for school students. The writing of history is outsourced to perpetually outraged Blacks. So you end up with history curriculum that obssesses over America's shortcomings. If a White teacher should point out that these Blacks are aggrieved race fanatics, he will be fired from his job and NEVER will teach again. No more pension for him.
So even if Whites are nicer and more fair-minded than other ethnic groups, there are limits to what they'll voluntarily accept. The basic problem is that Whites no longer run their own countries. Jewish elites long ago supplanted Anglo-Saxon elites. Once in power, they used the machinery of govt to punish White race resisters.
TLDR Summary: Whites are nicer than other races, but they're not suicidal. However, White countries are run by Jewish elites these days. Since Whites don't want to get fired from their jobs and tarred&featherd by the media, they shut their mouth (and often nod alone) to the insanity. While there are true believers, most cucked Whites are kept in line by FEAR.Replies: @Paperback Writer

To be clear, these are not Ethiopian Jews but Christians claiming Jewish relations. Even Israeli Ethiopian Jews aren’t all in favor of bringing them over. And to be frank, there are organizations and individuals that were devoted to bringing over Ethiopian Jews that, their mission done, can’t (as all organizations) just declare victory and close up shop. So one senses that no matter how many times we’re told that “the last Ethiopian Jews have been brought over,” there will always be another thousand or so to go. Funny how that works.

The Ethiopians who were airlifted to Israel en masse have zero genetic relationship to any other Jewish community, and historically not much more. The creation of “Jews” in Ethiopia was entirely political. The other Judaic groups, and the guys who are still in Ethiopia, have just as much a claim on going to Israel as the ones who were transported there in the 80s and 90s. In short, the Israelis imported a race problem.

Jews vote on the basis of perceived ethnic self interest. That’s why they vote so differently in the US and Israel because self interest when you are in the majority means promoting national identity and closed borders and when you are a minority it means promoting minority “rights” i.e. restricting the rights of the majority through the implicit threat of physical violence delivered by government storm troopers.
all the rest is just self deception.
How much more do Jews "vote on the basis of perceived ethnic self-interest" than do blacks, hispanics/latinos, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Koreans, Japanese, or any number of other ethnic groups?
And many Jews don't even strongly identify as Jews.You think most of the Jews who vote right-wing in Israel and support restricting immigration there would do the opposite in the US? You think most Jews who vote left-wing in the US and oppose restricting immigration here would do the opposite in Israel?
Also, plenty of Jew do not support the State of Israel.Self-deception is endemic to human nature. We all view ourselves more favorably than we objectively are. We are all blind, to at least some degree, to our own faults. Nothing uniquely Jewish.

Puhleeze. First of all, not one Jewish organiztion in the mainstream is “open borders.” They espouse bullshit like this:
https://www.adl.org/what-we-do/discrimination/immigrant-refugee-rights
This is the ADL, not some kooky left-wing organization. The point of all of this is to wrap up “Immigration and Refugee Rights” in the gauzy language of “rights,” and down the rabbit hole we go.
At the same time, the ADL will respond to the slightest imputation that Israel’s human rights record isn’t golden with outrage. What does Israel have to do with the ADL anyway? The ADL, I thought, is a US-based organization concerned with American issues.
The central organization of mainstream organized US Jewry supports a foreign ethnostate while decrying ethnocentrism in the country where the ADL functions, as a result of the rights given to it by that country.
I personally know a lot of Jews who don’t support “open borders” and who can’t stand the ADL’s phoniness on this subject. But it’s a glaring disconnect and I can’t blame people who are looking at it from the outside getting angry at it.

Whites know that if they say one wrong word, they could ruin their life instantaneously. Heck, just by failing to condemn racism in the strongest terms available, you can easily ruin your life.
You can get fired from your job, financially ruined, slandered by the media, harassed on social media, and viewed as a pariah by mainstream society. In very serious cases, you can get subjected to violence from Anti-Fa and/or a Black mob.
This is why Whites behave in such a deferential matter with respect to racial issues.
It’s FEAR of losing it all that keeps Whites in check.
However, if you go back many decades ago (especially pre-60s), there were minimal (if any) penalties associated with racist speech. That’s why Whites used to advocate for their interests so forcefully back in the old days.
Imagine you have a society full of religious Catholics. Then the Lutherans invade the country, decimate the Catholic Churches, and persecute all fervent Catholics. What would you expect to happen in such a society?
3 things
1. Mass conversion from Catholicism to Lutheranism.
2. Ambitious people becoming especially likely to advocate Lutheran theology.
3. Ordinary people becoming very hesitant to make any pro-Catholic or anti-Lutheran statements.
Whites aren’t as foolish as everyone here perceives. By becoming “Woke” on racial issues, Whites are making a strategic decision that’s actually quite shrewd on an individual level.
It may not be a shrewd decision on a group level, but you have to remember that Whites have no group solidarity left. They’ve become very individualistic and socially isolated from one another in recent times. They inhabit a social milieu that’s highly atomized. So Whites behave as individuals, not members of a group.
Unfortunately, what makes sense on an individual level is harmful on a group level. It’s a prisoner’s dilemma.
As to the question of why individual White leaders/activists don’t attempt to organize their population into a cohesive and united group, it’s because those individuals would be punished harshly. So would anyone who collaborated.
You have to remember that the overwhelming majority of Whites are highly emasculated and effete these days, having been softened up by generations of comfort, affluence, and easy living. The average White no longer has any fight left in him. He just wants to enjoy life, have fun, eat out, go shopping, take vacations, watch sports ball, drink beer. He’s not looking to risk it all in some type of racial confrontation. So even if most Whites secretly hate PC, they’re not going to take a bullet fighting back.
As to the question of why the ruling class is so fanatically hostile to Whites, it’s because Jews supplanted Anglo-Saxons decades ago. Once in power, the new Jewish elites began harshly persecuting Whites who advocated for White interests. At this point, the persecution is comically over the top.
To be sure, there are many White Gentiles left in the elite, but they are kept in check through a combination of bribery, coercion, and Epstein-style sexual blackmail. For example, Bill Clinton.
White Gentile elites are the outer party. Jewish elites are the inner party.
Jewish elites know they need allies. So they stoke Black rage. They also promote an extreme amount of immigration into the US, then brainwash those immigrants (and more especially their kids) into becoming enemies of “White privilege.” Blacks and non-white immigrants have been turned into the fifth column of America.
White racism is the Emmanuel Goldstein of our empire. Failure to condemn Goldstein in the harshest terms will result in punishment.
Watch this clip below to better understand why so many Whites are so eager to fight White racism.
https://youtu.be/XvGmOZ5T6_Y
Some have predicted that in the near future, a debt crisis will destroy our currency and cause the current regime to collapse. If that ever happens, then you will see the number of “Woke” Whites plummet dramatically. If there comes a time when Jews lose power, Whites will stop this racial self-flagellation very quickly. If there comes a day when Whites no longer have to fear being punished for being politically incorrect, you will see a massive change in how Whites discuss racial issues.
FEAR of punishment keeps Whites in line.

I remember writing a post very similar to that! LOL.
I should write a small addendum to that post.
I do think Whites of Northern Euro origin (Anglos, Dutch, Scandinavians, Germans) are, on average, more civic-minded than other ethnic groups. I also think that a certain proportion of them really do have what you could call “White guilt.” However, the overwhelming majority of Whites still believe in policies that advance their interests (within reason) and disdain anything excessively foolish.
For example, the median White believes in sending food and water to refugees. However, he doesn’t want to bring millions of refugees into America. Especially not if they’re Muslim or African. The problem is that Whites no longer live in anything resembling a democracy, so decisions are made by powerful Jewish oligarchs. If you dissent from their agenda, they’ll call you a “racist” and ruin your life. They’ll get you fired and get you banished from the middle-class.
Another example. The median White believes it’s okay to teach about all aspects of American history (including negative aspects like slavery and segregation), but he’s still generally positive and upbeat about the accomplishments of past generations of Americans. He thinks America might be imperfect, but who isn’t? He still thinks America is the best country in the world. However, Whites no longer get to write their own history books for school students. The writing of history is outsourced to perpetually outraged Blacks. So you end up with history curriculum that obssesses over America’s shortcomings. If a White teacher should point out that these Blacks are aggrieved race fanatics, he will be fired from his job and NEVER will teach again. No more pension for him.
So even if Whites are nicer and more fair-minded than other ethnic groups, there are limits to what they’ll voluntarily accept. The basic problem is that Whites no longer run their own countries. Jewish elites long ago supplanted Anglo-Saxon elites. Once in power, they used the machinery of govt to punish White race resisters.
TLDR Summary: Whites are nicer than other races, but they’re not suicidal. However, White countries are run by Jewish elites these days. Since Whites don’t want to get fired from their jobs and tarred&featherd by the media, they shut their mouth (and often nod alone) to the insanity. While there are true believers, most cucked Whites are kept in line by FEAR.

>Dear Fellow Jews, Open Borders For Israel
Oh, I finally get it.
“…That they played an important part in bringing the Saracens from Africa in 709 is certain…”
Yeah, but this could use a little context. The marauding barbarians of the late Roman era that eventually made it to Spain initially became Arian Christians, and like many newly-converted tribes, they were lax with respect to the particulars of their new religion and generally were more focused on the acquisition of loot and plunder. For example, they didn’t care if the nearby Jews happened to own Christian slaves and weren’t all that upset about moneylending/usury, either, and the rulers of the two groups got along comparatively well.
Later, as that part of the continent became less chaotic, the more fastidiously orthodox Trinitarian Christians gained the upper hand, and they were more strict regarding Jewish ownership of Christians and other such hypocrisy, and that is arguably what started the long back-and-forth that led to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain many centuries later — but it was a widely meandering back-and-forth. At times the Jews there were outright traitors to the local Christians, as you note (scheming with the Saracens to bring them in from Africa) but in other instances they bravely fought alongside them at great cost. Overall they did prefer Saracens and Arians to Trinitarians, but this was more about understandable self-interest than some innate scorpion-stinging-frog perfidy towards Christians.
The Bible teaches that the three things that lead to Jewish downfall are 1) worshipping other gods 2) civil war and infighting and 3) backing the wrong geopolitical horse. (For example, First-Temple-era Jews were disastrously over-confident that their Egyptian allies would keep them safe from Nebuchadnezzar’s clutches.) Their eventual expulsion of Spain is very much a case of 3).
It should also be noted that their “important role in bringing the Saracens from Africa” did not end well for them:

No contemporary individual has any detectable Hebrew DNA. In reality, there isn’t such a thing.
There is a clearly identified group of about 7,500 still remaining in Ethiopia. Your concerns about another wave after this are unfounded and just made up to cover discrimination against Ethiopians with Jewish heritage.
To pick one random example, Bret Stephens once wrote a long column defending Israel against some charge or another but felt obligated to include the fact that his one criticism of Israel is that they aren’t admitting African “refugees” with open arms.
And that’s on the right. (Well, in Stephens’ case, the so-called “right.”) On the left, pretty much every leftist Jew in America thinks Israel should be admitting “refugees” wholesale, and a whole bunch of Israel’s very few leftists feel similarly.
On the other hand, there are some Israeli leftists who are just fine with the wall, but probably think the US needs more immigrants, while there are at least some American Jewish “right-wingers” who defend anything Israel does, including this, but think Trump is eeeeevil for wanting to keep out Mexicans.

Adopted children are converted provisionally. Once they reach adulthood- which for these purposes is 12-13 years old- they’re free to decide whether or not they want it, with it being stressed that there’s no judgment if they say no.
Orthodox conversion means acceptance of the dogmas and rules of Judaism, dunking in a ritual bath, and circumcision for men (symbolic if they already are).

It goes to show the lengths that Bibi will go to keep Ethiopians out of Israel because he is a racist against Ethiopians of Jewish heritage.

Why did Israel import them? To make a show of non-racism to the UN etc. Beacuse of always ongoing tensions and dramatic negotiations with the Paleostinians with their Yasser Arafat.

The Paleostinians are gone as a tool for XXX powers ever since Europe saw the Muslims of Syria entering into self destruct mode with millions killed with countless concrete rebar buildings wasted by artillery and bombs. Then off-loading their war torn idiots to Germany/EU. My take is if when you destruct your Muslim nation. Europe should keep you out.

People here are reading this as "Jews say diversity for thee but not for me ergo they are hypocrites" but the Jews who are for open borders in America are also for open borders in Israel, while Netanyahu is for neither.
The reason why Netanyahu is making this a campaign issue is because he is trying to paint his opponents as "open borders" type guys while he is the "I built the wall" guy - exactly like his buddy Trump (except Netanyahu actually built his wall). If everyone in Israel, indeed Jews everywhere, agreed with the right winger Netanyahu that Israel should have a border fence then he wouldn't be campaigning on this issue. But he is because he has his own Leftists to campaign against.
If you read what Netanyahu wrote, he is saying that Israel is in an even more exposed position than Europe.

Left is a relative term, especially when comparing Israeli politics to those of other western countries. Exactly what percentage of the Israeli electorate would even consider voting for a party that was as pro open-borders as 95% of political parties in other western countries? In the 2020 election, less than 20% voted for the Arab Joint List and the leftist Joint list combined. Normal western attitudes about immigration are well outside the Israeli mainstream.
Netanyahu’s fellow Likudnik Danny Danon (Deputy Minister of Defence/Minister for Science and Technology) was for closed borders in Israel and open-enough borders in Australia that Israel could offload some Africans there: Danny Danon: Send African migrants to Australia He explained:
Note that this article is from the conservative-leaning Jerusalem Post. Also in 2016-17 nearly 2000 Africans were resettled from Israel to Canada(link)

Israel has a “less government” intelligentsia (which sort of moonlights as a political party). When it runs in elections, it doesn’t get seats; its populist leader does better independently. Even so, the party is a big supporter of the totally crappy, Israeli public education system.
The Israeli judicial system is captured by the ultra-left wing (of course).
At its first opportunity, it would indict Netanyahu for making a phone call to the Ukrainian ambassador, inciting an Arab riot on the Temple Mount, etc.

3.) Re: “racial Judaism”:
– Judaism is a religion, according to which one is a Jew either by being born to a Jewish mother or by undergoing a valid conversion;
– Conversion is not restricted by race;
– In so far as remaining bound by the obligations and restrictions of Judaism, the rule is once a Jew (whether by birth or by (valid) conversion), always a Jew.
– By law (i.e., halakhah), however, Jews who are deemed apostates, heretics, and certain categories of flagrant sinners, however, are (to varying degrees, ranging from partially to practically entirely) ostracized from participation in the religious rites and community.
In practice, the degree to which such ostracization is enforced varies considerably between communities. There are numerous reasons for this, some valid, some questionable, some invalid.
A fuller treatment, from a past comment of mine follows.
Ultimately, while Judaism can be classified as a religion, and perhaps as an ethnicity as well, entities of and related-to Judaism, Jews and Jewishness are not easily mapped to distinct, discrete classifications of religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, etc. as commonly understood and accepted. As I have repeatedly pointed-out, those of us who fall within the broad category of identifying as or (at least potentially) being identified by others as Jews cannot even agree on how to define one.
Those who argue that Judaism is primarily or even exclusively a tribal identity rather than a religion are guilty of (a) conflating what are two overlapping but nonetheless distinct concepts, and (b) ignoring or glossing-over facts such as

Most whites don’t. And the issue with jews is that jews are 2% of the population, but control several strategic industries and are hostile to the white christian majority. They function as a super aggressive hostile elite pushing for radical changes that they would never want were they the majority.

Yes, and my viewpoint has data behind it: actual opinion surveys of US jews. Take the ADL for example : hardcore zionists and hardcore immigration promoters at the same time. This is why I asked Jack D to produce data supporting his silly idea that Jews in israel would vote republican if they lived here…um no. To the degree that jews like, say trump, it is because he moved the embassy to jerusalem.

On the other hand, there are some Israeli leftists who are just fine with the wall, but probably think the US needs more immigrants, while there are at least some American Jewish "right-wingers" who defend anything Israel does, including this, but think Trump is eeeeevil for wanting to keep out Mexicans.
But overall, I'd say there's no black-and-white distinction.Replies: @HammerJack
Yes, but they’re free to think and feel whatever makes them feel good about themselves, secure in the knowledge that Israel will never ever have open borders.
Because open borders would mean that Israel is no longer Israel. All you have to do is to look at how America is no longer America. Hey.
How about the Ethiopians who speak Amharic and Tigre? After all, these are members of the Semitic Language Family along with Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic, the language of Jesus which is still spoken in Turkey, Syria and Iran, all of these languages having evolved from ancient Akkadian now extinct. If the Jews are going to throw around the word “anti-semitism,” then they should own up to to the strong possibility that their DNA is closely tied to the speakers of these languages. Or perhaps the European Jews are not real Semites anymore, have diluted their genes too much, though I doubt it. They should welcome the true Semites into their language. They should not be anti Semitic Euro snobs.
