I am a big fan of Jewish self-awareness, but it’s in increasingly short supply in recent years. Here’s an interview with a Jewish professor of history, Marc Dollinger, who points out some fairly obvious truths that have gotten lost in all the retconning.
From NPR:
Exploding Myths About ‘Black Power, Jewish Politics’
June 4, 20186:18 AM ET
LEAH DONNELLAMany Americans tell the story of Black-Jewish political relations like this: First, there was the Civil Rights movement, where the two groups got along great.
This was the mid-1950s to the mid-60s — picture Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. marching arm-in-arm from Selma to Montgomery. And James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, murdered while organizing to register black voters in Mississippi.
Then, the story goes, there was a shift. In the mid-’60s, with the rise of black nationalism (and what some describe as black anti-Semitism), “the once wonderful alliance dissolved and split. And since the mid 1960s, it’s been terrible.”
That, says historian Marc Dollinger, is “the accepted wisdom on how to understand Jewish participation in the civil rights movement.”
Except, Dollinger adds, that’s not really what happened.
He lays all this out in his new book, Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing the Alliance in the 1960s.
Dollinger, a professor at San Francisco State University, argues that much of our accepted knowledge about the interaction between black and Jewish communities is based more on myth than fact. He says uncovering the real story can teach all Americans a lot about privilege, historical memory and the way we construct our own stories. …
Dollinger: So I think that — it’s called historical memory, is what academics call it — we tend to remember what we want to remember. We tend to forget what we want to forget. And we tend to spin the evidence to a prearranged thesis. So we — white American Jews — have had a prearranged thesis on the black-Jewish alliance, and therefore it tends to self-perpetuate. And it also is self-serving. …
So there are basically three areas advanced for why Jews would involve themselves in the struggle for racial equality. All three turn out to be false. But the first would be the history argument, that says blacks and Jews share a common history, and therefore Jews empathize with the historical experience of blacks, and therefore they’re willing to help. Right?
When I talk generally with white Jews about why Jews are involved in social justice or civil rights or racial equality, they’ll talk about this shared history of oppression.
And the problem is that American Jewish history and African-American history are 180 degrees opposite on that question. One of my African-American colleagues, he said, “If I ever go to a Seder and the Jews say that they know what it’s like because they too were once slaves in Egypt,” he’s gonna punch ’em.
Because if Jews have to go back to ancient Egypt to get the slavery metaphor, then they’ve kind of missed that American Jewish history is a story of rapid social ascent, and African-American history is the legacy of slavery. That argument is insulting, and it’s very elementary. …
The second argument is a sociological one, which is to say Jews experience social marginalization; blacks experience social marginalization. Since Jews understand what it is to be on the margins, they help blacks. The problem with that is that the civil rights movement didn’t happen ’til the 1950s. In the 1950s, Jews were already in the mainstream. So if marginalization was the motive, then the movement should have started 50 years earlier. …
The third one, the one we get today, is Judaism: that the religion of the Jews argues for social justice, tikkun olam. Prophetic Judaism, the Reform movement, is involved with all of that.
The problem is, if one’s adherence to Judaism informs social justice, one would expect the Orthodox, those for whom traditional Judaism is most present in their everyday life, to be in the lead in racial equality. And in fact it’s the opposite. …
Zionism is a good example. In 1948, when the state of Israel was created, American Jews were happy, especially after the Holocaust, and thankful that there is a Jewish homeland. But they weren’t dancing in the streets, as it were.
After 1967, when the state of Israel won the Six Day War, the reaction of American Jewish youth was so pronounced that even national Jewish leaders were surprised — 7,500 young people got on airplanes and went to Israel to help, literally. Something like 98 percent of American Jews expressed strong sympathy for Israel.
And while the traditional thinking is, you know, Aren’t Jews great because they became Zionist in ’67? as a student of American Jewish history, I’m really curious why the reaction was stronger in ’67 than even in 1948. So when I did the research, I learned that the rise of black nationalism and the purge of Jews from leadership and civil rights organizations, got Jews thinking about their own nationalism.
You know, if blacks can advocate for blackness, then Jews can advocate for Jewishness. And in this sense, the Six Day War occurring in June of 1967 was perfectly timed to capture a whole bunch of young Jews who were nationalists in their proclivities, but didn’t have a place to put it. And there they could put it in Zionism.
My vague impression is that the 1967 War was galvanizing for American Jews more on the loyalist / conservative side of the spectrum by nature. According to Jacob Heilbrun, Moynihan and Nixon in the winter of 1968-69 figured out that they could sponsor neoconservatism among Jews excited about Israel and increasingly disillusioned by blacks. Perhaps that’s an exaggeration about the role played by these two very smart gentile observers of Jews, but it’s an interesting theory.

A lot of the support for Israel in the general white population likewise might have been because the other side was notably swarthier, giving us the opportunity to root for the lighter side in a conflict, which was receding rapidly at home.
Islam was always going to be seen as The Enemy by a predominantly Christian West. Absent a total Third Reich victory in World War II — which even the most optimistic Nazis would probably regard as improbable — there was no alternative historical path in which Muslims and Christians might have joined together in happy shared hatred of the despised Jews. The only question was whether organized Judaism would align itself with the nominally Christian West or the less-nominally Muslim East.
For the most part, Jews chose Western Christendom, however weak it might appear to be. So far their choice seems to have been the correct one.
The media helps this along - the siege of Aleppo got as much coverage in three months as the West Bank gets in a decade.
The old British concern for 'fair play' was a product of people comfortable in their skins and in their country - as that comfort lessens, so will that concern.Replies: @Anon
American Christians, the product of WASP culture (and that has become increasingly true of Catholics as well, starting with assimilation toward the norms set by Mainline Protestants and increasing in pace with Vatican II), naturally would ally with Jews even against Palestinian Christians, not because of skin pigmentation but because of the cultural legacy of a Judaizing heresy: Anglo-Saxon Puritanism.
Well, the idea that one needs to experience marginalization to advocate for the marginalized is obviously false, and is belied by the abolition movement, for example, which was driven by elite WASPs. But, to be fair, elite Jews like Walter Sachs and Henry Moskowitz were involved with the NAACP from its founding in 1909, well before the ‘50s.
I think it was more about the other side being Muslim, and being associated with arguably the nadir of American postwar prestige, the siege of the US embassy in Tehran and the failed hostage rescue.

The more Jews promote their Jewishness, the more that they become a separate thing from whites in the general consciousness. And once that happens, the more people will look at and start to quantify the proportionality of representation in various elite and influential jobs. Blending in more might be the better strategy.

And yet, there was little in the way of Jewish sympathy for Blacks in the antebellum era. The movement to end the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Abolitionism were Protestant affairs. Indeed, elite Jewish opinion regarding Blacks could even be characterized as hostile:

Well said. For the bulk of Jewish history, tikkun olam was seen as a call for proper observance of Jewish Law, not as a cry for social justice among the goyim….
Yeah, but that doesn’t take into account the fact that the Six Day War engendered a similar uptick in Jewish nationalism outside the US…..Frankly, I tend to think that the sight of Jews kicking so much Arab ass simply triggered a massive testosterone surge among Jewish men across the globe….
This article’s self awareness is very sanitized. It doesn’t, for example, mention key things like Jews’ experience being slaves didn’t stop them from owning slaves and helping run the slave trade in the Confederacy just as blacks’ experience with being slaves didn’t stop them from getting into the trade when sent back to Africa. But knowing those things is anti Semitic (and racist!)
Probably something to that….One could also add the chiliastic enthusiasm for Israel among many American fundamentalists….And there was also the Hollywood pro-Israel propaganda machine:

There has to be a better word than retconning. The only place I’ve ever seen it is here and when I had to look it up.
The split occurred after the 60’s because Jews got rich, and powerful, and blacks stayed poor, and became their useful idiots whenever they needed to stick it to the WASPs. But blacks are violent and unpredictable, so the Jews created a new class of useful idiots, gays and feminists. They are much easier to control.
I think that it works. And it’s used quite a bit in the comics:

The thing is, some Jews can get prickly about the public self awareness of other Jews. What’s Dollinger’s escape plan?
“And it’s used quite a bit in the comics”
I’m not sure that’s a positive. A good neologism for an important phenomenon should suggest the nature of the phenomenon.

New video and photographic evidence that puts three senior CIA operatives at the scene of Robert Kennedy's assassination has been brought to light.
The evidence is a result of a three year investigation
The evidence was shown in a report by Shane O'Sullivan, broadcast on BBC Newsnight.
It reveals that the operatives and four unidentified associates were at the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles in the moments before and after the shooting on 5 June, 1968.
The CIA had no domestic jurisdiction and some of the officers were based in South-East Asia at the time, with no reason to be in Los Angeles. .....

Also Don Drysdale’s 6th straight shutout.
Being as '68 was the 'Year of the Pitcher', I assume that Drysdale's shutout was a complete game.
By the way, Youtube has MLB's 1965 WS Highlights between LA and MIN, narrated by Vin Scully. What's striking is the color photography. LA's uniforms with the pure white and royal blue are iconic (as iconic as the NY pinstripes). Dodger Stadium is truly a jewel. Hopefully it won't be torn down anytime soon.
I did not realize that Koufax pitched and lost game 2, won game 5 (Complete Game) and THEN on two days rest, pitched game 7 (Complete Game). It's like, Drysdale pitched game 1 (obviously due to Sandy's abscence for Yom Kippur), but you'd think that Don would've pitched game 7 as he pitched game 4, but nope. There was no doubt in Alston's mind that Sandy was going to pitch game 7 after having won game 5.

The Jewish-Black coalition had its real foundation
1) before 1945 with Jewish leftist “political entrepeneurs” looking for a bulk of footsoldiers (as a possible alternative to the industrial-worker footsoldiers) – this was one particular strategy of Jewish ascent
2) after 1945 with Jewish Leftists being ashamed and disturbed by the bad image of Communism and looking for a way out in order to reestablish themselves as a political “force for the good”. (And of course, Jewish Leftists felt marginalized even under Eisenhower.)
The “story” here is that a respectable academic is willing to attach his name to information we already knew and that a healthy society would not find controversial. It might be Cofnas’d or they might just under-publicize it. I doubt Dollinger will be Finkelsteined because he won’t be seen as comparably combative or directly threatening.
State legislators are mandating more and more “Holocaust education” and one representative (Ted Deutsch from Florida) is trying to use civil rights anti-discrimination logic to effectively ban “anti-Semitism” (it is hard to see this getting off the ground or surviving a Supreme Court challenge). Between these trends and the increasing discussions about topics that, in the recent past were notable for their controversality, it looks like an elite fumbling their near-totalitarian control. As always with this crowd, had they grasped less tightly, their grip would have been more secure.

Right, what you’re getting here is a more respectable and focused version of the Nation of Islam book. In fact, what Dollinger is really doing is repositioning the Jews as whites just as some thought leaders had begun to proudly reject Jewish whiteness. The slavery connection isn’t just too hot, it’s downright elegant in its elimination of any natural sympathy.
All the more fitting, then, that we use a comics derived term…..
With the German Jews of the Francfort School things are rather simple: the more they felt betrayed by the German proles, the more they looked for an alternative “revolutionary class” (but as Germans they had no particular interest in the Blacks – Adorno disdained jazz music).
But how went things in the United States? Did Jewish-Black relations improve because Jewish-“white proles” relation worsened? Were there simply no more interesting slots for young Jews in the labor unions (who in any way were no more apt for a revolution)?
OT This is really good.

The thing that Jews and blacks have in common is they are largely urbanites. Hence, both groups have a general interest in promoting progressive policies which tend to benefit people who live in big cities. However, since there is a big income gap between blacks and Jews, their interests are also likely to clash at times. For example, Clinton-style neoliberalism would no doubt be very popular with most Jews, but wouldn’t be very popular with a lot of poor blacks.
Kudos to this Marc Dollinger fellow for some intellectual honesty.
The notable thing here is just how easily and completely the Jewish narrative falls apart given the least bit of honest scrutiny. It really is that flimsy.
This “Jews are like blacks” propaganda is one of the most ridiculous things imaginable. Other than “minority” they could not be more polar opposites. The blacks were a poor working underclass class, kept separate by the white majority. Jews in contrast were a rich rent-seeking overclass, kept separate by their rejection of integration with the majority. Blacks–at least back in the day–would have been happy to integrate. (Where the barriers were more porous in Latin America, they did and there is a color continum produced by HBD, rather than a color line.) Jews (Ashkenazi) exist because of rejection of integration in favor of tribe. (And developed baroque practices and theology to reinforce such rejection.) The philosophy of Christian universalism underlying the famous “content of their character” lines of Martin Luther King are precisely what the Jews rejected.
The reason for Jewish support of the blacks civil rights movement is easy to understand–minoritarianism. The fundamental principle that no majority people–but specifically and especially white gentiles–can be allowed to have their own stuff–businesses, country clubs, universities, neighborhoods or nations. Cause that means they could/might keep Jews from penetrating and exploiting.
The reason, damn sure wasn’t “integration”. The Jews didn’t suddenly–after 2000 years–have some sort of come to Jesus moment and decide they were historically in the wrong and really want to be besties and integrate with the gentiles and dissolve as a people. And they damn sure didn’t want the blacks to come integrate *their* neighborhoods, *their* country clubs or *their* daughters. Hell no! No this was pretty simple–stop whitey from having his own whitey stuff. Break it up.
I can't think of even one example of a prominent Jew marrying a schwartze either IRL or on TV/film. How about schwartzes joining Jewish country clubs?Replies: @Flip, @Warner, @YetAnotherAnon, @Dissident, @Rosamond Vincy
I see what you did.
As time has gone on, the differential in intelligence between blacks and Jews has seen the Jews pull farther and farther away from blacks economically but this is a one or two generation phenomenon for most as Jews were lifted in the great postwar boom. The story of my wife's family is typical - those in her generation are successful professionals, but growing up they lived modestly in a postwar tract home - their dad couldn't go back to college after the war because he needed to feed his family which he did with a modest sales job (and pre-WWII even that modest position would have not been open to Jews) and he in turn grew up in ghetto poverty as the son of an immigrant housepainter - constantly moving because they could not pay the rent.
"Rich Jews/ Jewish bankers" (along with Jews as Bolsheviks - somehow Jews are both rich AND Bolshevik) is a favorite anti-Semitic meme going back to the Nazis and before. My grandfather in Poland was neither rich nor a Bolshevik - he was just a poor fisherman trying to scratch out a living like Tevye. And yet somehow he had to pay the price (his life) for all the supposed rich Jews and Bolshevik Jews.
Yes there are a lot of Jews on the billionaires list but the entire billionaires list is only a few hundred people and there are millions of Jews in America, most of whom are neither rich nor members of the rent seeking class. Most don't live in dysfunctional ghetto poverty like blacks but they are just middle class folks and only a generation or two removed from poverty.Replies: @AnotherDad
Except nobody forced Jewish integration on anyone. What's the Jewish version of Brown v Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act, and the Fair Housing Act? In fact Jewish discrimination wasn't that extensive and ended because of private social pressure.
We are simply better people than the anti-semites, and we've consistently won the affection of the majority of Americans.Replies: @Jack D, @Ozymandias, @AnotherDad
Communism, dammit!
Much American Jewish involvement in the Civil Rights movement was “revolutionary,” motivated by the Kremlin propaganda line about American capitalists keeping Negroes down to swell the reserve army of the unemployed and to distract the workers from class struggle by fomenting racial conflict. Jewish Communists and fellow travellers wanted integration to overturn all that and also to gall and provoke the American bourgeoisie and capitalists, to “heighten the contradictions” and thereby promote the revolution.
Later, of course, the Jews like other American leftists almost completely mistook the tactic for the goal– they became so distracted by the amusements of racial conflict that they forgot about class struggle. They do get a lot of satisfaction from galling the bourgeoisie even now. Look at the way they rub Teh Genius Coates in people’s faces all the time.
Jews promoting blacks is a common thing. Was true in the USA, and was even more true in South Africa. The only reasonable explanation that I could find sounds somewhat unreasonable but still excels over others: Jews are possessed with criticism a.k.a. revolutionary spirit.
It must be especially annoying because as constant archeological excavations have shown Jews never were “slaves” in Egypt. In fact it was quite the opposite, to whatever extent Semites occupied Egypt they in fact ruled as “kings” for a period after a successful invasion known as the “Hyksos Period”(1650 BC-1550 BC).
Afterwards the Egyptian Empire Came to occupy Canaan for a period in order to ward off and prevent the many Semitic military invasions from its neighbor until around 1200 BC which is Steve’s favorite period in ancient history known as the Bronze Age Collapse.
Reform Judaism is not simply a more relaxed version of Judaism. It is qualitatively different from the Orthodox variety. It also has very heterodox roots and was quite distinct in different places. The leading and first Reform synagogue in Britain, for example, had its entire structure designed around British identity and the more prosaic desire to have a place where your non-Jewish fellows might be invited and not leave with the inpression that you come from a long line of backwards savages.
In Germany, as fits the relative stereotypes, the initial movement was more ideological and was imbued with heady and romantic ideas of miraculous progress and fixing the world.
Of course, the assimilationist desire was always present in both. It must sure have been embarrassing to see the orderly and elegant services of your Christian friends but return to the bizarre bearded shucking and jiving in the klingon-like language of your own tradition. Sadly though, it’s no longer the Victorian age and the assimilationist desire trends more towards the achingly politically correct.
This leads to the strange circumstance of Hebrew and ritual swaying finding its way back into services as the return to the primitive somehow carries the imprimatur of both being more authentic and somehow ‘progressive’.
In this way, one can discern a flight to white (or rather – civilisation) in 19th and 20th Century Reform Judaism with a hesitating and confused 2 steps from, 1 step back, shuffle away today! Unsurprisingly, this is very much driven by trends in society and not some devious plot.
Essentially, whereas your non-Jewish friends would once have been impressed with an orderly service and Amy Waxman’s ‘white bourgeois values’ we are now supposed to not preach what we practice.

There was a significant minority in the south that was not aligned with the segregationists, but who were reluctant to "join the movement" because of a fear of what happens once revolutions get started.
The possible relationship to black nationism banging around the campus fringe is an interesting angle.
I’ve generally considered the Jewish Six-Day War identity flowering to have two main causes:
1) Everyone loves a winner / bandwagon effect.
2) Jews moving from seeking accomodation/acceptance from the WASPs to being in power. Essentially Jews were finally “out”–“we’re here, we’re Jewish, get used to it!”. But enying/copying the black power thing might have been a piece of this transition.
This paradigm shift just seems to be the way “civil rights” works. I’ve seen it with the gays over my life from “leave us alone” to “we’re here”, to “pride”, to in your face, to “you must accept us”, to we’ll harass you and destroy your career, your business, your life is you don’t think correct thoughts.
When was he fired by Starbucks?
Now we can blame Blacks for Jews becoming Zionist. If Blacks did not purge Jews from leadership and civil rights organizations, Jews would be happily helping Back oblivious to their own ethnic identity and Israel.
That suppose to be Jewish self-awareness? The most effective liars convince themselves first.
Lest ask the question what is it all about? Why the narrative is being changed? Why this new narrative is good for Jews because it must be good for Jews otherwise it would not be produced?
Simple: Blacks taught us how to be Jewish nationalists. Zionism is good. It it just like Black nationalism. Dual loyalty is good.
Another way of looking at it:
Islam was always going to be seen as The Enemy by a predominantly Christian West. Absent a total Third Reich victory in World War II — which even the most optimistic Nazis would probably regard as improbable — there was no alternative historical path in which Muslims and Christians might have joined together in happy shared hatred of the despised Jews.

For the most part, Jews chose Western Christendom, however weak it might appear to be. So far their choice seems to have been the correct one.
I would be grateful to anyone who who could provide some readily citable statistics for Jewish over-representation in positions of power, influence and wealth in both the public as well as the private sectors. I am trying to raise awareness among my fellow (and not-so-fellow, as the case may be) Jews. I need sources that stand a chance of being considered credible by “normies” and Respectables.

I would be grateful to anyone who who could provide some readily citable statistics for Jewish over-representation in positions of power, influence and wealth in both the public as well as the private sectors. I am trying to raise awareness among my fellow (and not-so-fellow, as the case may be) Jews. I need sources that stand a chance of being considered credible by “normies” and “Respectables”.

US Jews went heavily Zionist after the Six Day War because everyone loves a winner – and Americans even moreso than most. Being Zionist in 1948 meant supporting something that might not win, it was a much bigger psychological risk.
A lot of Palestinians and other Levantines are very light skinned, and Mossad has no problem finding agents who make convincing Levantine Arabs. Palestinians Lebanese & Syrians don’t look much like Gulf Arabs.
OTOH Egyptians are often noticeably darker, so there’s that.
Now we can blame Blacks for Jews becoming Zionist. If Blacks did not purge Jews from leadership in civil rights organizations, Jews would be happily helping Blacks oblivious of their own ethnic identity and Israel.
That suppose to be Jewish self-awareness? The most effective liars convince themselves first.
Lest ask the question what is it all about? Why the narrative is being changed? Why this new narrative is good for Jews because it must be good for Jews otherwise it would not be produced?
Simple: Blacks taught us how to be Jewish nationalists. Zionism is good. It it just like Black nationalism. Dual loyalty is good.

Just googled “when was slavery abolished in the usa” and it was 1865. The last convict transported to Oz was 10/01/1868.
Therefore White Australians descended from convicts have more in common with African-Americans than Jews.
Further, I don’t recall Jews ever getting all tikkun olam over us, in fact exactly the opposite: Jews were at the forefront of abolishing the White Australia Policy. A homeland for me and not for thee.
I can’t get a definitive answer as to when “indentured servitude” ended for Whites in the USA, perhaps an iStever can help, but the the life of a White convict or indentured servent was far harsher and brutal than that of a slave in many instances due to the fact that slaves had a monetary value whereas convicts and servants were free and abundant.
Lots of good books on the subject like Sean O’Callaghan’s “To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland” wherein the origin of the term redneck is explained, or Michael Hoffman’s “They Were White and They Were Slaves: The Untold History of the Enslavement of Whites in Early America”.
It’s interesting to think about why historic White slavery, whether convict or indentured servants, which lasted longer in the Western world than black slavery is not even considered a thing and that the descendants of those convicts and servants are asserted to owe a moral and financial debt to blacks. It’s also worth pondering that this perverse ahistorical moralism is promoted by the very same Jewish descendants of the majority slave owners, and convict ship transporters, who were Jews!
The reason has nothing to do with work ability, much less honesty (black slaves are well attested as having stolen a lot of stuff, from their owners as well as from whites other than their owners and from each other - by the 1950s, Leftist academics were interpreting that history as blacks stealing to be social justice revolutionaries, not as blacks being criminally inclined blacks). The reason is that if a rich man in, say, New Orleans (which attracted a large number of penniless Irish immigrants starting after the Great Famine) had a dangerous project (and because of the heat-humidity factor combined with tons of disease carrying mosquitoes, almost all work was potentially very dangerous to health and life), and he used the slaves he owned, he could have lost a small fortune if even 3 dozen slaves died or became permanently incapacitated. But if he had hired immigrant Irish for the work, and 5 dozen died, he would have lose nothing. He could hire 5 dozen more immigrant whites and finish the job.
No owner of black slaves, for example, would have risked losing big bucks having the slaves dig out a coal mine and then later mine the coal. Many men always die in that work; many more get crippled. If your slaves die or become crippled, you lose money. If immigrants die doing your hard, dangerous work, you hire more immigrants and don't give a damn about safety conditions.

I wouldn’t say that ended in 1967 or 1972 either. My impression, and that’s all it is, is that as Islam has increased its temporal power in the UK, whether by demography, or rape and bombings by its adherents, so Brits are less bothered about Muslims being mistreated in Palestine.
The media helps this along – the siege of Aleppo got as much coverage in three months as the West Bank gets in a decade.
The old British concern for ‘fair play’ was a product of people comfortable in their skins and in their country – as that comfort lessens, so will that concern.
1967 is a neat explanation for the difference between the first generation of neocons, who often served in the military, and their children. Irving Kristol’s “On the Political Stupidity of the Jews” doesn’t read like anything the neocons would endorse today; the title alone is probably unacceptable today. For those keeping track of these kind of things, Bill Kristol’s mental breakdown can mostly be traced to his father’s death in 2009.

Christians are a bunch of saps, waiting to be told what to think. Don’t abandon that field to Jews.
I don’t think these two events are related at all. Simply, US Jews were happy with creation of Israel in 1948, but not elated. The shadow of holocaust loomed large, but it was generally confined to Jewish circles; also, there was pervasive low key antisemitism in the US, so they naturally resorted to chameleon-like behavior. Basically -don’t stick out too much.
The 1967 war was something completely different. Jewish power in the has US increased dramatically; cultural changes that involved counter-cultural 60s were astonishing; re-ethnicization of American “ethnics” was present everywhere, not only among Jews, but also among Italians, Poles, Greeks, Irish,… Then, the Six Day War was a spectacular success & nothing succeeds like success. It gave US Jews the crucial element of ethnic-cultural-national pride only military victory can bestow & cannot be compensated by all high positions in academia, media or high finances.
The 1967 victorious war was also crucial in re-awakening of Jewish national consciousness in Soviet Union, Poland, France, Hungary, Brazil… so I would say that black nationalism & its distancing from US Jews did not play a significant role in re-Judaisation of American Jews.

Retreat is more dangerous than attack. If he had done what critics wanted, and tried to suddenly pull all U.S. forces out of the country overnight, there would have been total chaos in South Vietnam.

If the North had invaded in the middle of this, the war might have ended with a hundred thousand U.S. troops in communist prison camps.
Nixon needed to keep pressure on the North, and maintain the confidence of the South, while pulling out the troops. This is what he did and it's what he should be remembered for, not the stupid Watergate business.
Why were Jews in nazi Germany required to wear yellow stars but American blacks were not required to wear any defining marker during anti-bellum slavery?
I've generally considered the Jewish Six-Day War identity flowering to have two main causes:
1) Everyone loves a winner / bandwagon effect.
2) Jews moving from seeking accomodation/acceptance from the WASPs to being in power. Essentially Jews were finally "out"--"we're here, we're Jewish, get used to it!". But enying/copying the black power thing might have been a piece of this transition.

What a stupendously stupid and spiteful statement.
The assassination of both Kennedy’s had a great effect on the trajectory of the USA and the world in general. JFK’s resulted in the Vietnam war (National Security Memo 273) and Robert’s in Israel going nuclear.
There was an essay on the latter recently at this very site: https://www.unz.com/article/did-israel-kill-the-kennedies/
Btw, there would have been no need for “the much more world historically significant–American destruction of the Japanese carriers at Midway” were FDR (talk about a deified president) to take action when warned about the Japanese plans to attack Pearl Harbour. But, FDR had been goading the Japanese all along to do that very thing. Pearl Harbour was the culmination of the plan. Much like 9/11 (see General Wesley Clark’s statement about plans for the Middle East post 9/11).
But I suppose you reckon 9/11 was 100% kosher and ridgy-didge too.
Wrong. JFK's support for the assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem resulted in large scale US involvement in the Vietnam War. Even before the deaths of Diem and JFK (within weeks of each other), the number of US military personnel had increased dramatically. From 700 on day 1 of the Kennedy administration to 17,000 in November of 1963.
"and Robert’s in Israel going nuclear."
Wrong again. CIA and other western intelligence agencies say that Israel's first usable nuclear device was complete in 1966 (two years before RFK was shot). Construction of the Israeli reactor at Dimona began in 1958.Replies: @Pat Hannagan, @Anonymous
Pat, all US Presidents have some sort of "effect" on history, and ergo assassinated or otherwise dies in office or doesn't get elected has some sort of "effect" on history. That doesn't make them "great leaders".
Your two examples are frankly ridiculous. Lyndon Johnson didn't drag us into Vietnam courtesy of the advice of all his advisors that he dragged into the White House from Southwest Texas State Teachers College. No we went into Vietnam on the advice of all of Kennedy's "best and brightest" crew from Harvard. Vietnam was a policy delivered by Kennedy, Harvard and the Democratic party's policy establishment. Heck, NSAM-273 that you reference was prepared by Kennedy's people, for Kennedy. Johnson signed it days after assuming office. Citing NSAM-273 is not making your point but disproving it. This was Kennedy administration policy--cooked up by his people for him.
As for Robert Kennedy and Israel nuclearizing ... please. What sort of baroque stupidity.
The Israelis developed nuclear weapons ... because they work! Nukes are the big swinging dick of "don't mess with me or else". Why China, India, South Africa, Pakistan, the Norks, Saddam, Iran ... were also interested in getting them, and a bunch of other folks (e.g. Japan) have probably done the work to be "ready" on short order.

I don't deify prominent people just because they are of my ethnic group. Heck, swooning and slobbering all over anyone is embarassing. Much of this Kennedy stuff over the years reminds one of teeny boopers swooning over the Beatles. It's pathetic.
Would America have been "saved" if Kennedy wasn't assinated? ... no. Was Kennedy some sort of exceptional leader with great policies to lead America? ... uh ... no. Mostly Kennedy had pretty ordinary establishment policies--unsurprising since his background and his team was "Eastern Establishment".

Yet now the slavers should be invited to live in the homelands of their slaves. It’s only fair, right?
Disturbing. And I agree with Mishra.
Yes, the history of chattel slavery in the US shows rather clearly that because black slaves were owned, they were far more valuable to an owner of a white term slave (an indentured servant was a slave for a term of years). Even more so, the black slave was more much, much valuable to the slave owner than was any white immigrant free man.
The reason has nothing to do with work ability, much less honesty (black slaves are well attested as having stolen a lot of stuff, from their owners as well as from whites other than their owners and from each other – by the 1950s, Leftist academics were interpreting that history as blacks stealing to be social justice revolutionaries, not as blacks being criminally inclined blacks).

I think it’s safe to say that all White Americans now share an interest in slowing, arresting, or reversing the browning of America. First, all available evidence indicates that a browner America will be a less functional, more balkanized, and poorer declining power with less intelligent, less competent, and less well-behaved inhabitants. All White Americans have a vested interest in this – as do all non-white Americans. All White Americans also have a discrete self-interest in not becoming a hated minority in a plurality brown America in which de jure and de facto mistreatment and other pretexts for revenge are assured.
Maybe in an 85%+ White America in the 1970s you could say that White Americans have no definite shared interests, but I don’t think you can say this today in an America quickly degenerating into an all-against-all tribal conflict for diminishing spoils.
More concretely, many white Americans have a clear short-term to medium-term self-interest in maintaining the status quo, if not worsening it. This will be true for the foreseeable future.
As a self-aware Jew, I recommend you read further into Tikkun Olam. The author cited is wrong that Orthodox should be more active with Tikkun Olam. It is much more of a secular Jewish practical and worldly idea rather than what religious Jews would be dedicated too (namely God and torah.)
The origin of Tikkun Olam has a lot to do with a strange branch of Judaism that originated in the 17th century. Too long to explain, but let’s just say that without understanding the story of Sabbatai Tzvi and later Frankism, you can’t really understand what the ((Jews)) are aiming for in the modern world. It represented a sharp break with Jewish ideas that came before. Ultimately contributing to Zionism, Jewish Communism, and modern social justice warriors. It’s never mentioned in the ((media)) but it’s like the Jewish Enlightenment. A major influence on the fate of the 19th century to our day. Hard to underestimate what the failure of supposed messiah Sabbatai Tzvi/Zevi meant to Jews in the 17th century. The crisis was nearly in proportion to the Holocaust two centuries later in terms of affecting Jewish identity. This is the root of the transition of Judaism from religion to ideology. Frankist Jews or children of such are hidden in history but all over European power in important moments of the 19th and 20th century.
See Frankist “purification through transgression” to understand the origin of modern Tikkun Olam and why it us ultimately such an evil idiocy.
Modern secular Jews for the most point don’t realize their ideology is based on a religious principle of committing evil to bring about a messianic good.

You make good points, and they’re hard to argue against, but I would say the term “interest” is rather meaningless without an implicit awareness of said interest.

> Because if Jews have to go back to ancient Egypt to get the slavery metaphor
For as much as Young-Earth Creationists get made fun of for believing in a literal interpretation of Genesis, I wish more people were aware that Exodus has absolutely zero basis in history. Even very educated people think that the Hebrews built pyramids or were enslaved in Egypt in the third millennia BCE.
In reality, the Hebrews as a linguistic and cultural group only emerged in the 10th century BCE. Fifteen hundred years after the pyramids were built and when Exodus would be dated based on the Bible’s timeline. Furthermore there’s no evidence that the Hebrews were ever enslaved en masse at any point in history. In Egypt or anywhere else. The pyramids were likely built by native freeborn skilled laborers. Pharaoh Egypt never had a large slave population because it engaged in relatively little external wars of conquest.
The flooding would also have facilitated water transport of stones, workers and other raw materials.
The Bible never says that the Hebrews built the pyramids.
Moreover, it does not say that they were enslaved in the third millennia BC. Try second millennia. Based on the Bible's timeline, it's usually placed either ~1400 BC or ~1200 BC.

Lol. Persians are, what, 0.05% of the US population? 0.01? Arabs aren’t more than half a percent either. And they almost all assimilate to whiteness within a generation or two anyway, at least the non-Muslim ones do.
One might wonder why so many of your comments utilize utterly bizarre and inaccurate numbers and percentages to downplay the dramatic drop in the White proportion of America's population. Arabs, Persians, and other Mohammedans, last I read, are officially about 1% of the population. I don't trust official numbers, however, and adding in the illegals and rapid influx of rapefugees in the last few years of Obamantion's term, I'd say 1.5% conservatively. Jews and half-Jews (and even quarter Jews, who are often Jewier than the 100% ones) are about 3%. Add in those 85-95% White Latinos who lay claim to full European ancestry (these numbers are all based on self-reported census and other surveys, to the best of my knowledge), and Whites of European ancestry are perhaps 45% (the official percent being 51.7 non-hispanic White as of 2017, minus the others I've already listed).
As far as "assimilation" goes (a piss-poor and overused word that means whatever the user intends at that moment), most Mohammedans remain Mohammedan and separate from the rest of America socially, culturally, and religiously. Only those Levantines who were/are Christians (primarily Lebanese and Syrian) and who generally arrived between 1880-1925 intermarried and truly assimilated, insofar as "assimilation" applies to any who arrived after the War between the States.Replies: @AndrewR

In the pretty good 2005 (?) movie about the assassination Bobby Kennedy in LA made by Emilio Estevez, the busboy in the famous picture of the dying RFK is mad because he has a ticket to see Drysdale pitch but his boss makes him work that night. Don’t know if that’s true, but it was a good screenwriterly touch.
Anyway, when I got home an hour later my mom told me about the shooting. It and the game were the only topics of conversation at school the next day.
The next game that Drysdale pitched, against the Phillies, ended the shutout and consecutive scoreless innings streak. The streak will long be remembered for an assist by the home plate umpire in the game against the Giants, when Drysdale hit a batter in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and no outs. The umpire refused to award the batter first base because he had moved into the pitch instead of trying to avoid it. The Giants’ manager went berserk, but to no avail. Drysdale got the next three batters out without allowing a run and the streak was preserved. One of the best games I’ve ever been to.
The other memorable events associated with the streak were the several trips the home plate umpires made to the mound to search Drysdale for a foreign substance that opposing teams were accusing Drysdale of using to “load up the ball.” On several occasions they even ran their hands through his hair, which of course lead to a commercial for some men’s hair grooming product.Replies: @Steve Sailer

Nope. Jews are not “White Americans.”
Perhaps a better way to put it would be to substitute “European Christian Americans” for “White Americans,” if you believe that “White” includes European Christians plus Jews (btw I never hear Jews refer to themselves as “White” except in “Dear Fellow White People” screeds — it’s always “Is it good for the Jews?” not “Is it good for the Whites?”).
Jews I’ve met certainly do NOT list themselves as a subgroup of European Christian Americans. They consider themselves entirely separate.
Perhaps you’d prefer if I changed it to:
State legislators are mandating more and more "Holocaust education" and one representative (Ted Deutsch from Florida) is trying to use civil rights anti-discrimination logic to effectively ban "anti-Semitism" (it is hard to see this getting off the ground or surviving a Supreme Court challenge). Between these trends and the increasing discussions about topics that, in the recent past were notable for their controversality, it looks like an elite fumbling their near-totalitarian control. As always with this crowd, had they grasped less tightly, their grip would have been more secure.Replies: @Mr. Anon, @Karl
It’s hard to see that happening with a lot of things: the overturning of the fundamental meaning of a thousands-of-years-old social institution (marriage), the idea that men and women are no different, the normalization of homosexuality, the acceptance of a small subset of weirdos who mutilate themselves and claim to be members of the opposite sex…………..
And yet all these things have happened or are happening.
Nonsense. There are plenty of interests they share, as other posters have pointed out downthread. The have those interests even if they are not aware of them. Just as anyone of us has an interest in not dying from some threat of which we are unaware. Those interests they share that all human beings share are best defended as a group, and won’t be defended outside of being in a group. Being a member of a group is the way to defend them.

As for your efforts, you would have better luck nailing jello to a wall. The problem is status signaling. To break it down to its simplest, not poking the tiger would mean the tiger is more powerful then you. So if you want to show how powerful you are, you gradually escalate to the most nonsensical and harmful position. You can’t stop because if you do, other people will attack you because you aren’t powerful.
I am not sure about your theory. Perhaps it may apply to some of the shrewdest and most powerful Jews. Most Jews, however, I believe are simply largely unaware of the contradictions and hypocrisy that I pointed-out. (Just as most "normie" non-Jews seem to be.) Many may know, vaguely, that Jews are over-represented in positions of power and wealth but not realize the extent to which this is so. More importantly, I doubt that more than a relative few have ever actually given much, if any, serious thought or consideration to the matter and its implications.
(Unfortunately, since posting my request for info, I have had little opportunity to pursue my efforts at increasing awareness in this area among my fellow Jews.)
As anyone with any understanding of basic human psychology knows, a lack of self-awareness; a blind spot for one's own shortcomings, faults and contradictions; and the holding of others to a different standard than one holds oneself are all endemic to the human condition-- both at the individual as well as the group level. How many non-Jewish, Goodwhites and SJWs even realize (at least on a fully conscious level) the hypocrisy of their revealed preferences in any number of areas (choice of where to live, send their children to school, etc., etc.)?
A couple of points –
Most all the 67 race riots started in Jewish merchant areas dominated by pawn shops, furniture, auto lots and appliance stores featuring easy credit. See DC and Newark for examples. The exception was Detroit. Most of the Jewish merchants were also involved in low end apartment rental markets as well (AKA Slum Lords). There wasn’t a WASP, Neo Nazi or Confederate anywhere near these areas.
‘Jewish social marginalization’ was the same experienced by Irish Catholic marginalization’. The similarity was the expectation by new arrivals that previous co-ethnics would welcome and help them. For the Jews entering during 1870 through 1920 the established Jewish order in these areas dated from 1690 through 1840 and were primarily German Jews. For the Irish is was the protestant Irish that arrived as early as 1640s through 1770s. For obvious reasons, the earlier settled co-ethnics had on average at least two generations of separation or more from the recently arrived and were for all intents and purposes not pleased to be compared with their less than worthy distant relatives. In both cases the hurt and hatred these recent arrivals felt morphed into a hatred of White Anglo Saxon Protestants. Projection is a real thing.
The most noticeable Jewish behavior it that of projection of the object of hate from a Jew to a Christian white. The same can be seen in Hawaii with the Japanese projecting their behavior onto whites with respect to local Hawaiians and Samoans.
One other feature of large blocs of ethnic and racial subgroup immigration is the phenomena of second generation crazy. First generation immigrants are normally humble and hardworking. For some odd reason their sons and daughters become excessively predatory and violent towards the established majority.

Good point. White fertility is a major reason for the current demographics
And while the traditional thinking is, you know, Aren’t Jews great because they became Zionist in ’67? as a student of American Jewish history, I’m really curious why the reaction was stronger in ’67 than even in 1948.
Probably because the ’67 war was televised. Jews got to see Moshe Dayan with his eye patch dashing across the desert, ordering people around and looking quite the alpha male. It was a narcotic. Jews can be highly influenced by them pitchers. As was mentioned in Kevin MacDonald’s recent story, many Jews decided who they would vote for in the 1980 election merely by looking at the convention attendees on television.
Bzzt, wrong. There were a handful of rich German Jews who had a 50 year head start on the American dream, but the vast bulk of American Jews came as penniless immigrants from the Russian Empire in the great Ellis Island wave. When they got off the boat they had no money, no education and most of them started off as sweatshop labor in the NY garment industry making pennies per piece.
As time has gone on, the differential in intelligence between blacks and Jews has seen the Jews pull farther and farther away from blacks economically but this is a one or two generation phenomenon for most as Jews were lifted in the great postwar boom. The story of my wife’s family is typical – those in her generation are successful professionals, but growing up they lived modestly in a postwar tract home – their dad couldn’t go back to college after the war because he needed to feed his family which he did with a modest sales job (and pre-WWII even that modest position would have not been open to Jews) and he in turn grew up in ghetto poverty as the son of an immigrant housepainter – constantly moving because they could not pay the rent.
“Rich Jews/ Jewish bankers” (along with Jews as Bolsheviks – somehow Jews are both rich AND Bolshevik) is a favorite anti-Semitic meme going back to the Nazis and before. My grandfather in Poland was neither rich nor a Bolshevik – he was just a poor fisherman trying to scratch out a living like Tevye. And yet somehow he had to pay the price (his life) for all the supposed rich Jews and Bolshevik Jews.
Yes there are a lot of Jews on the billionaires list but the entire billionaires list is only a few hundred people and there are millions of Jews in America, most of whom are neither rich nor members of the rent seeking class. Most don’t live in dysfunctional ghetto poverty like blacks but they are just middle class folks and only a generation or two removed from poverty.
That anyone seriously even vaguely equates the experiences of blacks and Jews in the United States is just a pathetic joke. But there you go.
Look, everyone has the hard struggling immigrant ancestor story. You want me to trot out my potato famine fleeing great-grandparents? Yawn. Heck, anyone who is pure WASP--unless they really kept the line assiduously clean--has hundreds of immigrant ancestors some of whom almost certainly came as indentured servants--quasi slaves. Sorry, your ancestors were not "oppressed" in America because they did sweatshop labor. Life was hard for most folks--you didn't have great skills or rich parents, you worked your ass off. The comfy life of we suburban boomers have had is not the human norm. If your ancestors didn't like it--go back.
Again here's the side-by-side I actually said: Simplified:
Blacks
-- historically poor, mostly unskilled, originally slaves
-- happy to integrate with whites; refused integration by whites
Jews
-- historically rich, mostly skilled, neither slaves nor serfs; free to leave
-- refused to integrate with whites; developed an entire ideology to keep themselves separate as a tribe
Again the reason we have all these poor Tevye style Jews by the 18th century is not because Jews were consistently on those patches of land the last 2000 years, scratching out a meager living. Rather, it's the reverse. It's because Jews were historically *rich*--from money lending, trading, tax-farming, skilled trades--relative to the median European and had such a large population expansion relative to their gentile neighbors, that they simply outstripped the carrying capacity of their middle-man minority "ecological niche" of those regions and the excess had to spill onto the land. (Contray to conventional wisdom today, we can't all make a living from "financial services"--trading and rent seeking--someone's actually gotta work.)
Simply put the Jews as somehow kinda like the blacks of Europe is just utter nonsense. An analogy so ahistorical and ridiculous, it could only thrive in the sort of environment we have today--intense propaganda and blinders strapped on tight to keep anyone from noticing and questioning.Replies: @Jack D

The exception was Detroit.
I got the impression reading up on it last year that the Detroit riot of 1967 broke out in the formerly Jewish 12th Street (?) shopping area. It seemed like kind of a touchy point, however, so the text wasn’t too clear so perhaps I got this wrong.
But I've never heard him mention that.
“if blacks can advocate for blackness, then Jews can advocate for Jewishness”
I am very suspicious of the idea that US elites take queues from Blacks. A better explanation is White Elites, exemplified by LBJ Nixon administrations’ inability to withdraw from Vietnam made Jews and everyone noticed the old ‘White’ elite was in a state of decay. Jews just filled a leadership void.
This process happened before, British Americans aka WASPs, completely and corruptly handled WWI and its aftermath. Not exclusively British White Americans were the new elite. So you had Catholic Al Smith running for president.
The war in Vietnam was the end of the White consensus Jews filled the gap. The war on terror will probably have the same effect on Jewish elites as people notice the people who know what they are doing are mostly Asian. I have no prediction if Jews will go down as peacefully as White, WASPS, and Yankees did or if they will go down like the Southern elites did. The Asian vs Jewish collision might be first manifesting itself in the regular accusation of Chinese American spying for China. It sort of reminds me of White America’s suspicion of Jewish spying for the Reds.
The Depression and Vietnam were the two biggest blows to the prestige of the WASP elites.
Let’s be honest, Jews really never gave a hoot about Blacks and still don’t. It was always about themselves and their interests. In this case, mobilizing Blacks against the Wasp establishment to deal Wasps the final blow and take over.
It may have been sparked there but the dynamic of 1967 Detroit is black versus Hillbillies. Then there were the Poles and other Eastern Europeans who didn’t like blacks in their neighborhoods. Go back a checkout the 1943 Detroit race riot. The 67 versions pale in comparison. It was truly a race war not a race riot. Also check out the reaction to busing in Boston and Detroit that happened somewhere around 1969. They were shooting school buses with the kids in them there. Nothing like this ever happened during the integration of southern schools in 1964.
But yeah, the '43 riot was a real race riot, white versus black.
But I had thought there was more damage done in the '67 riot.
The reason has nothing to do with work ability, much less honesty (black slaves are well attested as having stolen a lot of stuff, from their owners as well as from whites other than their owners and from each other - by the 1950s, Leftist academics were interpreting that history as blacks stealing to be social justice revolutionaries, not as blacks being criminally inclined blacks). The reason is that if a rich man in, say, New Orleans (which attracted a large number of penniless Irish immigrants starting after the Great Famine) had a dangerous project (and because of the heat-humidity factor combined with tons of disease carrying mosquitoes, almost all work was potentially very dangerous to health and life), and he used the slaves he owned, he could have lost a small fortune if even 3 dozen slaves died or became permanently incapacitated. But if he had hired immigrant Irish for the work, and 5 dozen died, he would have lose nothing. He could hire 5 dozen more immigrant whites and finish the job.
No owner of black slaves, for example, would have risked losing big bucks having the slaves dig out a coal mine and then later mine the coal. Many men always die in that work; many more get crippled. If your slaves die or become crippled, you lose money. If immigrants die doing your hard, dangerous work, you hire more immigrants and don't give a damn about safety conditions.

This is key to understanding Meir Kahane and all the Brooklyn born right wing settlers who populate the Israeli settlements in Judea & Samaria (aka the West Bank). Pre-1967 the trend among American Jews was toward total assimilation (Kahane himself went by “Mickey King” and had a Catholic girlfriend – when she found out that Kahane already had a wife and family she jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge and killed herself). Philip Roth used to say that in his entire 100% Jewish high school, not one kid wore a yarmulke – keeping your head covered was something that your bearded grandfather did (and maybe even not him) but that was all over with.
But when black nationalism got going in ’60s America (and started pushing against Jewish interests – the Jews in Brooklyn were physically being pushed out/mugged out of their neighborhoods by blacks and there was a brief experiment in NY with school decentralization where the local black controlled school boards tried to get rid of their Jewish school teachers) the lightbulb went on in the heads of some American Jews that they should follow the example of the blacks. Kahane’s “Jewish Defense League” was patterned after the Black Panthers.

Any idea what conditions those slaves lived under and how their descendants did? Those would be interesting to compare to Black slaves in the US given their thriving population 150 years later.
IIRC the usual fate for male slaves captured by corsairs was to be sent to the oars in a Mediterranean galley - a death sentence unless you were ransomed. So the males had no descendants to agitate for civil rights.
Domestic male slaves were routinely castrated, a procedure with a high death rate and again no offspring - so there aren't large numbers of sub-Saharan blacks in Egypt or Turkey.
The girls (white or black) were used as servants and concubines.

I can’t tell where these blockquotes originate, but they share the assumption common to every other projection of a white minority America: that Hispanics are not, and will never be, white.
That assumption is questionable at the least. Hispanics already self-identify as white by large majorities, and at least a quarter intermarry with non-Hispanic whites. Eliminate the special treatment given to “Hispanic or Latino” ethnicity, and they’ll likely become no more a distinct group than Italian-Americans are.

It depends what you mean by “extensive” – while there was no formal Jim Crow for Jews (and in fact, as Steve has pointed out, local (not Yankee carpetbagger) Jews were even more well accepted in the South than in other regions), private discrimination in the ’20s and ’30s was quite pervasive – not just the proverbial country clubs but ordinary hotels, employment with big corporations, enrollment in universities, eligibility to be on staff at hospitals, etc. When Augusta National was founded, local Jewish industrialists were among its founding members, but later on when it became truly national (and when the great smelly Ellis Island wave lowered the public estimation of Jews) Jews were excluded – the situation of Jews in America actually deteriorated after WWI.

In a free society, people are supposed to be … uh … free. Free to make whatever social arrangements they want. Free to associate or not with people according to their whims.
Stereotypes are--statistically--true. Jews have certain patterns of behavior (pushy, crude, loud, arrogant) that some gentile groups find "unappealing". As Steve pointed out, the German Jews, generally found the eastern, pale-of-settlement Jews to be rude and crude … and these are their fellow Jews! Heck, certain gentile groups find other gentile groups to be "unappealing". This is the human norm practiced by Jews, whites, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Latins, blacks, etc. etc. Someone I get the impression JackD doesn't knock off work and go knock back a pint with the bruthas of Philadelphia. Why not? Maybe they have some "patterns of behavior" you don't fancy? Some ethnic stereotyping at play?
Furthermore, it's particularly ridiculous to get this "you're discriminating!" crap from Jews of all people--a people who specifically *rejected* integrated with their neighbors in favor of tribal loyalty and down through the centuries enforced that rejection of integration religiously.

Yes, it's very interesting. I was not raised religious, but have taken a great interest lately and it's very, very interesting the role religious beliefs play in today's non-religious ideologies.
Nobody in media takes religion seriously (like it's a role-play card game or some weird hobby for freaks) but if you do, you don't have to be a believer of any sort, but it answers all sorts of questions about today's social and political climate that can't fully be explained otherwise.
When I ask liberal friends to explain their social beliefs in depth, they all come down to religious questions. The secular eschatology of all mankind holding hands at some vague point in the future when their ideology is fully implemented. The secular creation story, secular morality. They all have a not-quite-scientific resonance. But whether you believe in one true church, false Gods, or all roads leading to the same truth, the religious history of the West is full of foreshadowing of today's ideological fights.
How is the question "How many angels dance on the head of a pin?" different than the social reckoning over "How many genders exist." People actually think about these things. And the angels on the head of a pin is not as frivolous as it sounds. It was really a question about the nature of time, space, and matter brought up by Thomas Aquinas.
Many of the modern interpretations of foolish religious questions come from centuries of Protestants trying to discredit Catholics by making their history look bloodthirsty and intellectual pursuits ridiculous. Most people think the "Inquisition" killed millions. That's Protestant propaganda. It was the equivalent in deaths of one September 11th taking place over the course of three and a half centuries. And mostly due to the Spanish government, not the Catholic Church.
Jewish religious history is very important to what is going on now. And pay no attention to what 99% of modern Jews say about it. They know nothing. I know I was brought up only believing a) Israel is the greatest and most important achievement of human history, and b) all the stuff Jews believed from the beginning of time until the 1850's or so was hokum, but we ought to respect it anyway, but not believe a word of it. That's what most Jews know. I was lucky to meet some scholarly people who could bring me deeper into the real history, of the people, and the thought.
All this writing to just hide the simple issue: Jews do what they (as in each Jew) think is best for Jews. They can and often do disagree what is best for Jews, but that doesn’t change that they will do what they think is best for their people. If it’s help black people in the 50’s and then toss them overboard in the 60’s, so be it. This is not complicated.
White people have a really hard time not thinking like White people.
That assumption is questionable at the least. Hispanics already self-identify as white by large majorities, and at least a quarter intermarry with non-Hispanic whites. Eliminate the special treatment given to "Hispanic or Latino" ethnicity, and they'll likely become no more a distinct group than Italian-Americans are.Replies: @Bernardo Pizzaro Cortez Del Castro, @syonredux
True. If we count people like Senator Rubio, Ted Cruz and their children as white then America will still have a white majority population for another 50 years. Although American Blue eyed Blondes may no longer exist in the year 2100 , most of the mestizos may continue to self identify was white. The bigger concern is the African-American population. Within the next 45 years Blacks will become 20% of the population. Already the youth population of America is 15% Black.
Most all the 67 race riots started in Jewish merchant areas dominated by pawn shops, furniture, auto lots and appliance stores featuring easy credit. See DC and Newark for examples. The exception was Detroit. Most of the Jewish merchants were also involved in low end apartment rental markets as well (AKA Slum Lords). There wasn't a WASP, Neo Nazi or Confederate anywhere near these areas.
'Jewish social marginalization' was the same experienced by Irish Catholic marginalization'. The similarity was the expectation by new arrivals that previous co-ethnics would welcome and help them. For the Jews entering during 1870 through 1920 the established Jewish order in these areas dated from 1690 through 1840 and were primarily German Jews. For the Irish is was the protestant Irish that arrived as early as 1640s through 1770s. For obvious reasons, the earlier settled co-ethnics had on average at least two generations of separation or more from the recently arrived and were for all intents and purposes not pleased to be compared with their less than worthy distant relatives. In both cases the hurt and hatred these recent arrivals felt morphed into a hatred of White Anglo Saxon Protestants. Projection is a real thing.
The most noticeable Jewish behavior it that of projection of the object of hate from a Jew to a Christian white. The same can be seen in Hawaii with the Japanese projecting their behavior onto whites with respect to local Hawaiians and Samoans.
One other feature of large blocs of ethnic and racial subgroup immigration is the phenomena of second generation crazy. First generation immigrants are normally humble and hardworking.

Japanese-Americans control Hawaii. Maybe it’s the heat or that Hawaii is a supposed tropical paradise, but these are the most incompetent Japanese on the planet.

The government response to the recent volcano eruptions has been slow and pathetic compared to what is done in Iceland.
And all they elect is Democrat Reps and Senators to go to DC and 99% of the time they are of Japanese heritage. What an Island Freakshow that also spawned Hussein Obama.
Israel in the 1960’s was a David and Goliath story: tiny Israel, constantly warred upon by all the surrounding Arab countries, who were dedicated to the destruction of Israel, stood up and defended itself heroically. This was the exact opposite of the Vietnam War, to which one of course was opposed. One said, “Israel is different.”

If you want to blame someone, blame Hitler and the Kaiser whose decisions led to the slaughter of millions of young European men, leading to postwar labor shortages.
The other side that spoke critically of this freedom of migration also features many people who happen to be Jewish like Dennis Prager, Mickey Kaus, Ilana Mercer and in France there is Alain Finkielkraut and Eric Zemmour.
I'm pro-Jewish, pro-Israel. I do see anti-Jewish sentiment on these corners of the Internet, I don't sympathize with that, but there is one criticism I do sympathize with that is reasonable: If white Americans and white Europeans are not supposed to prefer their culture to any other culture, and they aren't allowed to limit immigration, the same rule should apply to Jews. Most Jews mentioned above are completely consistent on this. The exception is David Brooks, Bari Weiss, and the commentarymagazine types who argue it's rank bigotry for white people in Europe or the US to keep any type of cultural identity that excludes others, while Jews can have their ethno nation state, and can have Jewish exclusive schools, and Jewish exclusive culture, and attempt to marry other Jews to produce exclusively Jewish children.Replies: @Jack D

“The assassination of both Kennedy’s had a great effect on the trajectory of the USA and the world in general. JFK’s resulted in the Vietnam war (National Security Memo 273).”
Wrong. JFK’s support for the assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem resulted in large scale US involvement in the Vietnam War. Even before the deaths of Diem and JFK (within weeks of each other), the number of US military personnel had increased dramatically. From 700 on day 1 of the Kennedy administration to 17,000 in November of 1963.
“and Robert’s in Israel going nuclear.”

Crime isn’t the reason people leave the state, it is taxes, cost of living, and cultural alienation. Though if you are an elderly middle class retired homeowner, taxes are lower on you than most of the USA due to Prop 13.

Most taxonomies of human ethnicity consider Ashkenazi a sub group of white Euro ethnicity. Just like Russian, English, German, and Italian, are all distinct sub-ethnicities of white, Ashkenazi is a sub-ethnicity of white.
Group interests aren’t perfect. Hillary Clinton is white: specifically Dutch, English, Scottish, and Welsh. I certainly feel a closer affiliation to black Republicans than to a white Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi.
Drysdale retired fairly young. He could easily have pitched another five or so more years after ’69, and perhaps as middle reliever during LA’s ’74 NL Pennant winning season.
The situation of Jews was better than for blacks and better than it was in Europe but it was far from perfect. It didn't just mean that a few rich Jews couldn't join a WASP country club - it had real everyday implications for ordinary American Jews. When you went on a trip you had to be sure to book a hotel that was not restricted. My step FIL was advised to study civil engineering instead of chemical because you could practice the former privately while no big publicly traded chemical company would hire Jews. Jews were certainly able to make a life for themselves in America but certain doors were shut to them and they weren't just the doors to the country club as Steve would have you believe.
The end of discrimination against Jew was driven in part by the civil rights movement and laws - the same laws that prohibited race discrimination also prohibited religious discrimination. My MIL was able to get a job with Yale & Towne (as a draftswoman) during WWII because Federal contracts (even then) had non-discrimination requirements - before war, Y&T, like most big Philadelphia corporations, would never have hired a Jew. The Civil Rights Act of '64 put the last nail in the coffin of most forms of discrimination.
Also the Holocaust made anti-Semitism (and eugenics) disreputable. Before WWII, "polite" discrimination (and in the US it was mostly polite - even as discrimination was practiced it was shrouded in euphemism - hotels advertised that they were "restricted" but you were supposed to understand what "restricted" meant) was accepted as being part of the social order - not everyone agreed with it but if you practiced it, that was considered within the range of legitimate opinion. But after the war, anti-Semitism was understood as leading to the Holocaust and its practice by people in the mainstream was no longer seen as tolerable.Replies: @Lot, @snorlax, @AnotherDad, @Ian M.
When you had a big wave of poor Russian Jewish immigrants, sure there was discrimination. That was an issue of numbers, not antisemitism. The same applied to Irish, German, Slavic, and Italian immigrants. The fact that Harvard’s “Jewish quota” still allowed us about a 4x representation over our population share is indicative of the extent of this: not very much.
I see your family anecdotes, and respond I don’t have any at all. As in, I have never heard my family members born 1920-1950 ever complain of even the slightest discrimination.
1950 is casting the net too broadly. Aside from a few snooty clubs that held out until the '70s and beyond, institutional anti-Semitism in US took a hit after WWII and another hit after the '64 Civil Rights Act and was largely a dead letter for anyone who was born starting in the Roosevelt Administration and reached adulthood in the '50s. There are fewer and fewer people left who are still alive and lucid enough to remember adult life before 1945. I am fortunate in that my MIL (born '22) is still very much alive and kicking and has all her marbles and can speak lucidly about the pre-War period.
Again, as I said before, Jews in America in that period could still have a happy and prosperous life (at least until the Depression) in a sort of separate but equal world where they lived in all Jewish neighborhoods, attended all Jewish public schools, patronized mostly Jewish businesses, went to Jewish doctors, etc. (And this was not that different than the experience of say Italian or Polish Catholic immigrants at the same time). But not all doors were open to them and even doors that had previously been open were later shut or left open only a crack - maybe this was an understandable backlash due to the large # of Jews who arrived at the turn of the century but whatever the cause it was real and is historically documented regardless of whether your family members chose not to speak of it.Replies: @syonredux, @Karl, @AnotherDad
You can accuse the Jews of many things, but political stupidity is not really one of them. If they were politically stupid then no one would fear making mild criticisms of them. “On the Political Stupidity of White People” could fill up volumes, OTOH. Then again, people would probably fear writing that too since it would contain unpleasant facts about other groups.
1967 is up there with the greatest moments in warfare. It is especially admirable for how quick and relatively clean it was. Kutuzov’s tactical retreat to Moscow, it was not. It is therefore very easy to see how 1967 captured so many people’s imaginations especially as the antithesis to the fact that the West learned all of the wrong lessons from the Holocaust.
If we are not to repeat history we must learn from it, and the twin lessons of the Holocaust are that one should not passively go into the night nor admire/respect others for doing so. Israel is well-placed among developed countries to understand this.
Perhaps we can learn a bit from them?

There were always exceptions - you might try to keep Jews out of your corporation as much as possible but a few guys were just too good to turn away - these were businesses after all. But you would be careful to limit the numbers lest your company get a reputation as being a place where a lot of Jews work, which would be undesirable for your broader recruiting efforts. Maybe the Jewish quota was not set at zero but you would set it at some very low number and try to find Jews who were not too "Jewy".

However, while these people may be Jewish by ancestry, their passionate tribal affiliation lies more with the political left than with Judaism. Most also side with the Arabs against Israel and oppose the premise of Israel as an ethno-state.

Austrian intelligence officials have reportedly revealed that US government agencies are paying for the transport of migrants to Europe. On August 5th, 2015 Austrian magazine Infodirekt reported:….
As time has gone on, the differential in intelligence between blacks and Jews has seen the Jews pull farther and farther away from blacks economically but this is a one or two generation phenomenon for most as Jews were lifted in the great postwar boom. The story of my wife's family is typical - those in her generation are successful professionals, but growing up they lived modestly in a postwar tract home - their dad couldn't go back to college after the war because he needed to feed his family which he did with a modest sales job (and pre-WWII even that modest position would have not been open to Jews) and he in turn grew up in ghetto poverty as the son of an immigrant housepainter - constantly moving because they could not pay the rent.
"Rich Jews/ Jewish bankers" (along with Jews as Bolsheviks - somehow Jews are both rich AND Bolshevik) is a favorite anti-Semitic meme going back to the Nazis and before. My grandfather in Poland was neither rich nor a Bolshevik - he was just a poor fisherman trying to scratch out a living like Tevye. And yet somehow he had to pay the price (his life) for all the supposed rich Jews and Bolshevik Jews.
Yes there are a lot of Jews on the billionaires list but the entire billionaires list is only a few hundred people and there are millions of Jews in America, most of whom are neither rich nor members of the rent seeking class. Most don't live in dysfunctional ghetto poverty like blacks but they are just middle class folks and only a generation or two removed from poverty.Replies: @AnotherDad
Jack, when I contrasted blacks and Jews, I wasn’t even talking specifically about America, but about their long respective histories of interactions with whites.
That anyone seriously even vaguely equates the experiences of blacks and Jews in the United States is just a pathetic joke. But there you go.
Look, everyone has the hard struggling immigrant ancestor story. You want me to trot out my potato famine fleeing great-grandparents? Yawn. Heck, anyone who is pure WASP–unless they really kept the line assiduously clean–has hundreds of immigrant ancestors some of whom almost certainly came as indentured servants–quasi slaves. Sorry, your ancestors were not “oppressed” in America because they did sweatshop labor. Life was hard for most folks–you didn’t have great skills or rich parents, you worked your ass off. The comfy life of we suburban boomers have had is not the human norm. If your ancestors didn’t like it–go back.
Again here’s the side-by-side I actually said:
Simplified:
Blacks
— historically poor, mostly unskilled, originally slaves
— happy to integrate with whites; refused integration by whites
Jews
— historically rich, mostly skilled, neither slaves nor serfs; free to leave
— refused to integrate with whites; developed an entire ideology to keep themselves separate as a tribe
Again the reason we have all these poor Tevye style Jews by the 18th century is not because Jews were consistently on those patches of land the last 2000 years, scratching out a meager living. Rather, it’s the reverse. It’s because Jews were historically *rich*–from money lending, trading, tax-farming, skilled trades–relative to the median European and had such a large population expansion relative to their gentile neighbors, that they simply outstripped the carrying capacity of their middle-man minority “ecological niche” of those regions and the excess had to spill onto the land. (Contray to conventional wisdom today, we can’t all make a living from “financial services”–trading and rent seeking–someone’s actually gotta work.)
Simply put the Jews as somehow kinda like the blacks of Europe is just utter nonsense. An analogy so ahistorical and ridiculous, it could only thrive in the sort of environment we have today–intense propaganda and blinders strapped on tight to keep anyone from noticing and questioning.
I see your family anecdotes, and respond I don't have any at all. As in, I have never heard my family members born 1920-1950 ever complain of even the slightest discrimination.Replies: @Jack D
My father discussed his wartime experiences fairly openly (although I now know from reading other survivor accounts from the same camps that things were even worse than he told me about even though what he told me about was already pretty bad – I don’t know whether he repressed the worst of these memories himself or just didn’t want to tell me about them, but either way I understand). But I know of Holocaust survivor families where their parents never said a word to their kids. Nada, nothing, zilch. Families react differently to trauma and how many “stories from the old days” they tell their kids (not that the trauma that American Jews experienced was anything remotely comparable to the Holocaust). If you watch the Skip Gates “Finding Your Roots” shows, most of the time people know little or nothing about their family history (and what they think they know is often wrong).
1950 is casting the net too broadly. Aside from a few snooty clubs that held out until the ’70s and beyond, institutional anti-Semitism in US took a hit after WWII and another hit after the ’64 Civil Rights Act and was largely a dead letter for anyone who was born starting in the Roosevelt Administration and reached adulthood in the ’50s. There are fewer and fewer people left who are still alive and lucid enough to remember adult life before 1945. I am fortunate in that my MIL (born ’22) is still very much alive and kicking and has all her marbles and can speak lucidly about the pre-War period.
Again, as I said before, Jews in America in that period could still have a happy and prosperous life (at least until the Depression) in a sort of separate but equal world where they lived in all Jewish neighborhoods, attended all Jewish public schools, patronized mostly Jewish businesses, went to Jewish doctors, etc. (And this was not that different than the experience of say Italian or Polish Catholic immigrants at the same time). But not all doors were open to them and even doors that had previously been open were later shut or left open only a crack – maybe this was an understandable backlash due to the large # of Jews who arrived at the turn of the century but whatever the cause it was real and is historically documented regardless of whether your family members chose not to speak of it.

CIA role claim in Kennedy killing
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/6169006.stm
New video and photographic evidence that puts three senior CIA operatives at the scene of Robert Kennedy's assassination has been brought to light.
The evidence is a result of a three year investigation
The evidence was shown in a report by Shane O'Sullivan, broadcast on BBC Newsnight.
It reveals that the operatives and four unidentified associates were at the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles in the moments before and after the shooting on 5 June, 1968.
The CIA had no domestic jurisdiction and some of the officers were based in South-East Asia at the time, with no reason to be in Los Angeles. .....

I think that the CIA/military/LBJ offed JFK because they thought he was a soft on communism traitor (c.f. JFK and the Unspeakable by James Douglass or various Jacob Hornberger articles) and if that were the case then they would have to take out RFK as well to keep the cover up going once he got close to being elected.

The other side that spoke critically of this freedom of migration also features many people who happen to be Jewish like Dennis Prager, Mickey Kaus, Ilana Mercer and in France there is Alain Finkielkraut and Eric Zemmour.
I'm pro-Jewish, pro-Israel. I do see anti-Jewish sentiment on these corners of the Internet, I don't sympathize with that, but there is one criticism I do sympathize with that is reasonable: If white Americans and white Europeans are not supposed to prefer their culture to any other culture, and they aren't allowed to limit immigration, the same rule should apply to Jews. Most Jews mentioned above are completely consistent on this. The exception is David Brooks, Bari Weiss, and the commentarymagazine types who argue it's rank bigotry for white people in Europe or the US to keep any type of cultural identity that excludes others, while Jews can have their ethno nation state, and can have Jewish exclusive schools, and Jewish exclusive culture, and attempt to marry other Jews to produce exclusively Jewish children.Replies: @Jack D
I was simply pointing out that postwar Europe (especially Germany) was largely Judenrein so they couldn’t possibly be calling the shots. Even now, I don’t think Merkel is taking her marching orders from Bari Weiss if she even knows who Bari Weiss is.
The main motivator for letting in millions of (Muslim) Turks into Germany was not the supposed Jooish desire for open borders but the needs of German industrialists to man their factories in the postwar boom and in the absence of millions of young German men whose frozen bodies are buried on the Russian steppes. Ditto for all the Pakis in Britain, Moroccans in France, etc. You can’t blame Jon Stewart for this.
Utter nonsense: less than 400,000 UK servicemen died in WW2. compared to 5 million Germans.
And 220,000 Poles stayed in the UK after WW2 rather than return to Poland, together with tens of thousands of others who didn't want to experience Soviet rule, making up for much of the shortfall.
(As an aside, there were still Jews in Berlin at the end of the war.)
The Turks were brought in for the standard capitalist purpose of keeping a vast army of the unemployed around to keep wages down. They and their descendants were mostly on welfare, not gainfully employed
Bari Weiss and Jon Stewart do not directly hold offices of political power, but they are culturally influential people that engage in political advocacy. And one of the issues that they've chosen to advocate for is looser restrictions on immigration to the US and Europe. I also don't see the open border push as a particularly Jewish thing. Many leading figures, like Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelossi are non-Jewish whites leading that political fight.
Attack on US embassy in Persia was 1979-80 12 years after the 67 Arab Israel war. The American sympathy for Israel was due to massive propaganda effort by American Jews. Remember book and movie Exodus?
Plus every public high school and college library was full of WW2 history books emphazing Jewish martyrdom during WW2.
Plus Rabbi Kahane was preparing the ground for a massive jump of Russian Jews from the Bolshevik disaster they created with endless propaganda about his Jews were sooooo abused in Russia.

Wrong. JFK's support for the assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem resulted in large scale US involvement in the Vietnam War. Even before the deaths of Diem and JFK (within weeks of each other), the number of US military personnel had increased dramatically. From 700 on day 1 of the Kennedy administration to 17,000 in November of 1963.

Your two examples are frankly ridiculous. Lyndon Johnson didn’t drag us into Vietnam courtesy of the advice of all his advisors that he dragged into the White House from Southwest Texas State Teachers College. No we went into Vietnam on the advice of all of Kennedy’s “best and brightest” crew from Harvard. Vietnam was a policy delivered by Kennedy, Harvard and the Democratic party’s policy establishment.

You've been holding your own throughout this thread, mate.
All power to you!
I was speaking of the interwar period, when American anti-Semitism really got going. The situation before the ’20s was different (there were no Jewish quotas for American universities then, etc. either). The Epstein patents are all from 1917 or before . Epstein could get hired by Y&T in 1917 but not in 1937. At the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, the percentage of Jewish students fell to 6 percent from 47 percent between 1920 and 1940.
There were always exceptions – you might try to keep Jews out of your corporation as much as possible but a few guys were just too good to turn away – these were businesses after all. But you would be careful to limit the numbers lest your company get a reputation as being a place where a lot of Jews work, which would be undesirable for your broader recruiting efforts. Maybe the Jewish quota was not set at zero but you would set it at some very low number and try to find Jews who were not too “Jewy”. When Feynman applied to Princeton grad school in 1939, the head of the dept. wrote to his buddy at MIT : “Is Feynman Jewish? We have no definite rule against Jews but have to keep their proportion in our department reasonably small because of the difficulty of placing them.” Morse wrote back that Feynman was indeed Jewish, but reassured Smyth that Feynman’s “physiognomy and manner, however, show no trace of this characteristic”.
Is “David X Klein” even Jewish? X usually stands for Xavier which is usually a Catholic name. Klein (small) is a surname found among both Jews and non-Jews.
Medical school attendance tends to be much higher among first than later-generation immigrants. East Asian medical school attendance skyrocketed in the 80's and 90's, and is now just as quickly collapsing in favor of South Asians. I thought it was "no" and "never." If there's one thing that characterizes antisemites, it's their finely-tuned nuance. Who ever wanted to work for Goldman Sachs or Lord & Thomas? Did they discriminate against or cause offense to him in any way?
This is an example of "people in the 1930's say the darndest things" (especially in private letters). You have to remember that back then, Jews were a new thing, like the internet or seeing burkas on the street.
It's the same as any bleeding heart these days is a heavy heart, thinking back on all their ignorant (no excuse!) past misdeeds, saying "illegal immigrant" or "tranny," or (unforgivable!) laughing at Apu. I can't establish definitively, but this David X Klein is presumably his grandson and, well, I'll let you be the judge.

The Jewish percentage of the total US population from 1920-1940 was 3.12-3.68%
Aside from the wildly discriminatory effect in FAVOR of Jews in that Jews composed 47% of the students at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, 16X above their composition of the American population at the time (and certainly denied to a significant number of competent enough Gentiles who could have attended), even dropping to 6% was double their percentage of the US population of the time. I'd hardly call that discrimination AGAINST Jews. If anything, it moved much closer to their actual proportion of the US population at large.Replies: @Anon

Go watch the youtubes of the (Hebrew) local television show, entitled “The heart is full” SJW T.Aviv ashkenazi writers and producers making nice about how loveable the ethiopians are.
please note: I got no problems with the ethiopians. They run low-IQ, and a bit criminal….. but they’re loyal to the State. Like the Filipinos, in many ways.

Of course they didn’t literally have gates on the ghettos in order to lock the Jews in every night like the Jews of Venice. Even on the Lower East Side, one block might be Jewish and a couple of blocks over it was Little Italy and there might be a borderline block that was somewhat mixed or shifting as immigrant groups came and went (and the local public school might draw from both sides of the line). It was not completely rigid (and yes certain trades were dominated by certain ethnic groups but even in the Hollywood movie clip they recognize that there are Irish pawnbrokers too, even if they close on Yom Kippur as a matter of professional courtesy).
But day to day (and the same is true today in Hispanic areas) you could live such a Jewish/Italian/Polish life that a lot of the old people would never even learn more than rudimentary English (if any).

Actually “Jewish delis” (many of which served non-kosher food) were, in their heyday, popular among non-Jews as well as Jews. Back in the day a lot of ethnic restaurant were found mostly in ethnic neighborhoods but people of all ethnic groups would journey to those neighborhoods to partake – you might go to Little Italy for “macaroni” (pasta), Chinatown for chop suey, etc. What is different now is that the pizza comes to you instead of you having to go to the pizza.

So to some extent they did it to themselves but they were pushed this way in those shell shocked post wwii years.
Don’t be silly. Nobody is claiming that Trump’s son-in-law is a person of colour. Nor his daughter…
Somehow you’ve decided that you’re smart because you take the dumbest throwaway comments from the stupidest Jews and
decide that they therefore must be true.
This is ridiculous. And pathetic.
The situation of Jews was better than for blacks and better than it was in Europe but it was far from perfect. It didn't just mean that a few rich Jews couldn't join a WASP country club - it had real everyday implications for ordinary American Jews. When you went on a trip you had to be sure to book a hotel that was not restricted. My step FIL was advised to study civil engineering instead of chemical because you could practice the former privately while no big publicly traded chemical company would hire Jews. Jews were certainly able to make a life for themselves in America but certain doors were shut to them and they weren't just the doors to the country club as Steve would have you believe.
The end of discrimination against Jew was driven in part by the civil rights movement and laws - the same laws that prohibited race discrimination also prohibited religious discrimination. My MIL was able to get a job with Yale & Towne (as a draftswoman) during WWII because Federal contracts (even then) had non-discrimination requirements - before war, Y&T, like most big Philadelphia corporations, would never have hired a Jew. The Civil Rights Act of '64 put the last nail in the coffin of most forms of discrimination.
Also the Holocaust made anti-Semitism (and eugenics) disreputable. Before WWII, "polite" discrimination (and in the US it was mostly polite - even as discrimination was practiced it was shrouded in euphemism - hotels advertised that they were "restricted" but you were supposed to understand what "restricted" meant) was accepted as being part of the social order - not everyone agreed with it but if you practiced it, that was considered within the range of legitimate opinion. But after the war, anti-Semitism was understood as leading to the Holocaust and its practice by people in the mainstream was no longer seen as tolerable.Replies: @Lot, @snorlax, @AnotherDad, @Ian M.

As Steve pointed out, the German Jews, generally found the eastern, pale-of-settlement Jews to be rude and crude … and these are their fellow Jews! Heck, certain gentile groups find other gentile groups to be “unappealing”. This is the human norm practiced by Jews, whites, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Latins, blacks, etc. etc. Someone I get the impression JackD doesn’t knock off work and go knock back a pint with the bruthas of Philadelphia.

Furthermore, it’s particularly ridiculous to get this “you’re discriminating!” crap from Jews of all people–a people who specifically *rejected* integrated with their neighbors in favor of tribal loyalty and down through the centuries enforced that rejection of integration religiously. Jews complaining of exclusion is really the pot calling the kettle black.

I usually comment with this handle. Realized I forgot to type it in just after I clicked send.
Yes, it’s very interesting. I was not raised religious, but have taken a great interest lately and it’s very, very interesting the role religious beliefs play in today’s non-religious ideologies.
Nobody in media takes religion seriously (like it’s a role-play card game or some weird hobby for freaks) but if you do, you don’t have to be a believer of any sort, but it answers all sorts of questions about today’s social and political climate that can’t fully be explained otherwise.
When I ask liberal friends to explain their social beliefs in depth, they all come down to religious questions. The secular eschatology of all mankind holding hands at some vague point in the future when their ideology is fully implemented. The secular creation story, secular morality. They all have a not-quite-scientific resonance. But whether you believe in one true church, false Gods, or all roads leading to the same truth, the religious history of the West is full of foreshadowing of today’s ideological fights.
How is the question “How many angels dance on the head of a pin?” different than the social reckoning over “How many genders exist.” People actually think about these things. And the angels on the head of a pin is not as frivolous as it sounds. It was really a question about the nature of time, space, and matter brought up by Thomas Aquinas.
Many of the modern interpretations of foolish religious questions come from centuries of Protestants trying to discredit Catholics by making their history look bloodthirsty and intellectual pursuits ridiculous. Most people think the “Inquisition” killed millions. That’s Protestant propaganda. It was the equivalent in deaths of one September 11th taking place over the course of three and a half centuries. And mostly due to the Spanish government, not the Catholic Church.
Jewish religious history is very important to what is going on now. And pay no attention to what 99% of modern Jews say about it. They know nothing. I know I was brought up only believing a) Israel is the greatest and most important achievement of human history, and b) all the stuff Jews believed from the beginning of time until the 1850’s or so was hokum, but we ought to respect it anyway, but not believe a word of it. That’s what most Jews know. I was lucky to meet some scholarly people who could bring me deeper into the real history, of the people, and the thought.

I understand Sailer’s idea that some Jews are going gaga with the Russia stuff because of real or IMAGINED ancestral difficulties.
But,
I still like the idea that the heavily Jew-dominated Democrat Party is using the accusations of Russian meddling as a pseudo-nationalist mask to cover up the fact that the Democrat Party has gone post-national and transnational.
My concept, which I probably stole from someone else on the internet, says that the Democrats are trying to sound patriotic and nationalistic when they are not. There might also be a baby boomer angle where the moron baby boomers still believe the Russians are coming to get them. These are the same baby boomer arseholes who won’t say a word in public about mass immigration, multiculturalism or Black criminality and Black misbehaviour, but they like the nostalgia of the Cold War.
Trumpy must up the tempo on his psychological warfare against the Democrat Party and their pseudo-nationalist Russia-Russia-Russia meddling horseshit. White Core Americans are finally getting the idea that the Democrats are bullshit artists who push policies that harm Whites and all Americans. Make the Democrats froth at the mouth over Russia, Trumpy! Like a crazed raccoon walking down the middle of the road. It’ll make it easier for the voters to run them over.

I think the distinction you imagine between Jewish whites, Catholic whites, Evangelical Christian whites and so on fades to insignificance in comparison to the difference between, say, Filipinos and white people in general.
Once upon a time, back in the Old Country, in a completely white world, in which religion was of overwhelming importance, being Jewish was significant.
In the multi-racial mosaic that is modern America, to see being Jewish as separating one from other white people would be as silly as seeing one’s Polish or Italian or Irish ethnicity as making one ‘not white.’

What you don’t seem to understand (even though George Washington did over 200 years ago) is that the United States doesn’t “belong” to the Protestants. Protestants, Jews, Catholics – etc. have all been here right from the beginning and have equal claim to having stolen the place from the Indians.
Here is Washington’s letter to the Jews of Newport on the occasion of his visit to the Touro Synagogue:
Washington understood this in 1790 and yet here we are in 2018 and you still don’t get it.
I'll say first off, that Washington is being generous in spirit here--as was typical of his high character. Other founders--doing more "sociological" theorizing--said things that were a bit more reasonable. I.e. an understanding that the nation had a particular character--Anglo-Protestant--that enabled it to have the republican character it did. Furthermore i'd say that Washington was a bit naive about the Jews and if he'd seen how Jewish power/influence was used in America today, he'd probably be giving his remarks a big rethink.
But put all that aside. You're a lawyer and are supposed to be able to parse language reasonably well. Washington simply does not say, what you--apparently--want to have him say. He's saying here that everyone is entitled their natural rights--Jews included. Not at the sufferance of Anglos, but simply because they are natural rights given to all men.
This does not mean "Jews are entitled to other people's stuff" nor "Jews are entitled to attend--much less numerically dominate--Protestant universities" nor even "Jews ought to be invited to all private clubs". You carefully, edited off the concluding paragraph which makes this basic public/private dicotomy clear. (I include the whole thing below.) "His own vine and fig tree." Very clear stuff. Natural rights for all, and then go about your own private business. Washington would have been appalled by the notion that the government should be running around *making* some people do business with other people or making some people associate with other people.
~
I'll go further. This public/private distinction that Washington briefly sketches here is a critical one--in fact it is *the* critical one. It is precisely the freedom for people to have their own private stuff--property, businesses, schools, publications, organizations--that is not within the purview of the state to boss around that is the soul of freedom. Private stuff not being at the disposal of the thugs--whether commies or Nazis or kleptocratic globalist elites or "what's good for the Jews" busybodies like yourself--is what keeps a society free. When the state can order private persons and organizations around and tell them who they must admit or associate with, we are no longer free. Replies: @Jack D

If it's to say that your blood proves that Jews were integrating and not rejectionist, then that's just ahistorical and false. The DNA stuff has given us a very good idea of the origin of the Ashkenazi and it's been discussed repeatedly on this blog. The Euro component was absorbed early--Jewish traders taking, mostly Italian, wives--and then the gene flow was really miniscule.
As I've said many times, the Jews who defected to actually become part of their local community are my ancestors not the ancestors of your Jewish side relatives.
As to the Lutherans marrying Lutherans--of course. This is just reinforcing my point: People like being in a community with people like themselves.
For all the theological folderol most people did not sit down during the reformation and have a good think about their position on these issues. No, nations, duchies, whathaveyou flipped one way or another and most folks just went with whatever was the local settlement to be part of their local community.
That's the thing, people like being part of a community, being around people with the same language, religion, traditions and values; doing business with people who you understand and trust, whose kids might marry your kids.
The Jews rejected all that in favor of tribe. Their choice. But, of course, it has consequences. People are free to return the sentiment--they don't want to have anything to do with us, fine, i don't want to have anything to do with them.Replies: @Tyrion 2

“Any idea what conditions those slaves lived under and how their descendants did? Those would be interesting to compare to Black slaves in the US given their thriving population 150 years later.”
IIRC the usual fate for male slaves captured by corsairs was to be sent to the oars in a Mediterranean galley – a death sentence unless you were ransomed. So the males had no descendants to agitate for civil rights.
Domestic male slaves were routinely castrated, a procedure with a high death rate and again no offspring – so there aren’t large numbers of sub-Saharan blacks in Egypt or Turkey.
The girls (white or black) were used as servants and concubines.

CIA role claim in Kennedy killing
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/6169006.stm
New video and photographic evidence that puts three senior CIA operatives at the scene of Robert Kennedy's assassination has been brought to light.
The evidence is a result of a three year investigation
The evidence was shown in a report by Shane O'Sullivan, broadcast on BBC Newsnight.
It reveals that the operatives and four unidentified associates were at the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles in the moments before and after the shooting on 5 June, 1968.
The CIA had no domestic jurisdiction and some of the officers were based in South-East Asia at the time, with no reason to be in Los Angeles. .....

RFK and the End of an Era
https://consortiumnews.com/2018/06/05/rfk-and-the-end-of-an-era/
.... It’s not widely known that Sirhan Sirhan’s attorneys did not mount a defense to the charges against him. Instead they resorted to what’s known as an alternative defense called “stipulation to the evidence.” In legal terms this means the defense accepts the testimony and exhibits presented by prosecutor as valid. Therefore, there was no argument in court over the medical, eyewitness or ballistics evidence.
What the trial was really about was Sirhan’s mental state. Since his legal team thought he was guilty, they tried to avoid capital punishment by arguing he was mentally unbalanced at the time. This failed, and Sirhan only escaped electrocution because California later outlawed the death penalty.
As Tate and Johnson show, this defense strategy doomed Sirhan. For example, when coroner Thomas Noguchi was on the stand, lead defense lawyer Grant Cooper actually tried to curtail his testimony by saying, “Is all this detail necessary? I think he can express an opinion that death was due to a gunshot wound.”
Noguchi should have been Sirhan’s star witness, and Cooper should have had him on the stand all day, the authors argue. Noguchi’s 62-page autopsy report proved that all the bullets that hit the senator entered from behind Kennedy. They also entered at extreme upward angles and at close range, i.e. from 1-3 inches.
Sirhan Not Close Enough
Every witness in the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel placed Sirhan in front of Kennedy, and at a distance of 2-5 feet. The fatal headshot struck RFK behind the right ear at point blank range, with the barrel almost touching his skin. As the authors note: How could not one single witness recall such a horrifying image? Witnesses put Sirhan in front of Bobby Kennedy and therefore he could not have been close enough to fire the shot that ended Kennedy’s life.....
..... RFK Jr. Visits Sirhan
Robert Kennedy Jr. has now become the first Kennedy family member to openly question the verdict in the murder of his father. A few months ago, he did what what Martin Luther King’s son, Dexter King, did in 1997 when he visited James Earl Ray in prison, leading Dexter to believe in Ray’s innocence in the murder of his father.
A few months ago, Kennedy Jr. quietly visited Sirhan in prison. After months of sifting through the evidence at the behest of Schrade, he came to the conclusion that Sirhan had not killed his father. This startling news was reported by the The Washington Post. Kennedy Jr. supports Schrade’s plea for a new investigation. Kennedy’s son is an experienced attorney who is partly responsible for getting his cousin Michael Skakel out of prison. Kennedy’s book on that case was a powerful exposé of how the justice system failed when it was improperly influenced by outside factors.
Kennedy Jr.’s pronouncement may finally give his father’s case the attention and the serious analysis it deserves. Reading Tate and Johnson’s book shows how poor of a job the mainstream media has done.

It was supposed to be a reboot of European history on a clean slate (never mind those Indians). On the Great Seal it says NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM – a new order for the ages. It is an ambitious claim for an ambitious nation. If it had said “We treat religious minorities slightly less shitty than elsewhere” then it wouldn’t be the place that the Founders dreamed of – it would be Canada or Australia or something, not the defining nation of the last 2 centuries.
Again, Washington understood this even if you don’t. Lincoln too. But at certain times in American history Americans have lost sight of this. But usually we come back to our founding principles (our “better angels” as Lincoln put it) eventually.
It's not like that anymore. The government now tells you what kind of light bulbs and toilet you can use, and what your kids will be taught in school down to the last jot and tittle. It decides which racial groups will be first in line for government contracts and college admissions. It takes a third of the money you earn and gives it to other people. I'd love to return to the days of "do your own thing" but until that happens, I have to pay very close attention to which groups are in our country (there, I said it), whether they're growing or shrinking, and how they're likely to vote.

I went to that game with two buddies from school, one of whose uncles was Elroy Face, the Pirates pitching coach, whom we stayed late after the game to meet. He invited us back to the Pirates’ hotel to share a late dinner, but we had to get back because we had class the next day. They may have been staying st the Ambassador, but I’m not sure.

The streak will long be remembered for an assist by the home plate umpire in the game against the Giants, when Drysdale hit a batter in the ninth inning with the bases loaded and no outs. The umpire refused to award the batter first base because he had moved into the pitch instead of trying to avoid it. The Giants’ manager went berserk, but to no avail. Drysdale got the next three batters out without allowing a run and the streak was preserved. One of the best games I’ve ever been to.
The other memorable events associated with the streak were the several trips the home plate umpires made to the mound to search Drysdale for a foreign substance that opposing teams were accusing Drysdale of using to “load up the ball.” On several occasions they even ran their hands through his hair, which of course lead to a commercial for some men’s hair grooming product.
Where did he say that? Why did you go straight to hyper-emotionalising and personalising the topic? What does this have to do with the problems that Jews have caused for Europeans or the differences between them and blacks?

Your answer is tendentious & has nothing to do with OP’s assertions, which are mostly true. It is evident that there are many loony antisemites here; but, also, to deny that Jewish historical ethnocentrism is a defining reality, and that in most historical periods from, say, 8th to 19th C Jews had it better in what in now Europe than local populations, with a few exceptions (Crusades, Khmelnitsky pogroms)- it is just blindness.
Various historians have dispelled myths about eternal, unprovoked suffering & there is not much to dispute here. To refuse to acknowledge Jewish “shadow”, to use Jungian term, is, seems, a permanent trait of Jewish national consciousness.

In those days if you were too poor to care for your children they were sent to the poor house. The poor house in turn would farm these kids out to (usually farm) families where extra labor came in handy. Some treated them OK and some treated them as semi-slave labor. There were surplus orphans in the East and these would get put on trains and sent out West:

The orphan trains ran until 1929.
The Catholic Church in Ireland ran laundries in Ireland where unwed mothers worked in slave labor conditions . THe last one did not close until 1996.

You never read her autobiography did you? I have and I posted something I know about, unlike you who posted a piece of complete ignorance about Annie Oakley
There are several biographies about her I’ve read two of them. Who are you to post your ignorance about Annie Oakley?. You don’t know what you are writing about do you? You just had to jump in with a totally ignorant statement.
You are ignorant ignorant ignorant about Annie Oakley’s child hood. You never read her auto biography
So why did you refute my post with some ignorant claim that all poor parents sent their kids to the poor houses and some totally irrelevant nonsense about Ireland?
You should read some biographies of Annie Oakley Your post is very very typical of an arrogant Jew who thinks he is some sort of all knowing genius.
You thought that your very superficial and shallow knowledge of 19th century poor houses you could refute knowledge that comes directly from specific knowledge of what happened to one specific 19th century child, Annie Oakley.
BTW, poor houses were for adults. Poor children whose parents who couldn’t care for them went to orphanages along with children who had no parents.
Your response is so typically Jewish ignorance masquerading as knowledge.

There were always exceptions - you might try to keep Jews out of your corporation as much as possible but a few guys were just too good to turn away - these were businesses after all. But you would be careful to limit the numbers lest your company get a reputation as being a place where a lot of Jews work, which would be undesirable for your broader recruiting efforts. Maybe the Jewish quota was not set at zero but you would set it at some very low number and try to find Jews who were not too "Jewy". When Feynman applied to Princeton grad school in 1939, the head of the dept. wrote to his buddy at MIT : "Is Feynman Jewish? We have no definite rule against Jews but have to keep their proportion in our department reasonably small because of the difficulty of placing them." Morse wrote back that Feynman was indeed Jewish, but reassured Smyth that Feynman's "physiognomy and manner, however, show no trace of this characteristic".

The foreigners fighting to migrate to Europe/US are doing so to improve their own lives, not to help out a US/European factory’s balance sheet. The main driver and “motivator” is the interests and living standards of the migrants. Arguing that this culture war over immigration is being fought to serve the interest of factory managers is so unreasonable it is dishonest.
Bari Weiss and Jon Stewart do not directly hold offices of political power, but they are culturally influential people that engage in political advocacy. And one of the issues that they’ve chosen to advocate for is looser restrictions on immigration to the US and Europe. I also don’t see the open border push as a particularly Jewish thing. Many leading figures, like Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelossi are non-Jewish whites leading that political fight.

In a free society, people are supposed to be … uh … free. Free to make whatever social arrangements they want. Free to associate or not with people according to their whims.
Stereotypes are--statistically--true. Jews have certain patterns of behavior (pushy, crude, loud, arrogant) that some gentile groups find "unappealing". As Steve pointed out, the German Jews, generally found the eastern, pale-of-settlement Jews to be rude and crude … and these are their fellow Jews! Heck, certain gentile groups find other gentile groups to be "unappealing". This is the human norm practiced by Jews, whites, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Latins, blacks, etc. etc. Someone I get the impression JackD doesn't knock off work and go knock back a pint with the bruthas of Philadelphia. Why not? Maybe they have some "patterns of behavior" you don't fancy? Some ethnic stereotyping at play?
Furthermore, it's particularly ridiculous to get this "you're discriminating!" crap from Jews of all people--a people who specifically *rejected* integrated with their neighbors in favor of tribal loyalty and down through the centuries enforced that rejection of integration religiously. Jews complaining of exclusion is really the pot calling the kettle black.

I agree antisemitic dissent gets shut down in mainstream spaces these days. But it isn’t because of Jewish power, but because Nazi Germany showed the world how evil antisemites are, and what they will do if they reach positions of power. If Jews had a lot of power in America, they would have seen that their cousins in Europe had refuge here or in Mandatory Palestine.
It may also have something to do with the fact that antisemites rarely just have issues with Jews, but quite often extend their hate to our large population of Eastern and Southern European Americans.
Any examination of Jewish influence is immediately labeled "antisemitic dissent." If you dare to question those who consider themselves superior, they're quick to let you know that you are morally inferior. I didn't read the rest of your schtick.

This would be a much more convincing explanation if the school officials at that time did not confess (in private, never publicly) that they had imposed actual quotas. For example, the dean of Cornell University Medical College said in 1940,“We limit the number of Jews admitted to each class to roughly the proportion of Jews in the population of the state.”
Occam’s Butterknife posits that this is a much more straightforward and convincing explanation than a non-existent crash in Jewish birth rates.
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/family-american-jewish Columbia was probably getting many more applications from outside the immediate NYC area in 1940 than 1920, too.
Those figures come from this NYT article from 1946: It's unclear what methodology Pelekis used, since he was not affiliated with Columbia and students' religion was non-public information, so in any event those figures are quite dubious. Or in other words, if true and generally applicable, the exact same quota system to which whites and Asians are now subjected. Which is, btw, fairly mild.
Harvard had 20 Jewish students in 1906 vs. 7 Catholics in 1911 (I couldn't find numbers from the same year, but presumably the ratio would be even wider). Even adjusting for IQ, that's a massive overrepresentation, several multiples, of Jews relative to Catholics.
The point being that plenty of other immigrants had it every bit as bad or worse. And none have any cause to complain, because there had heretofore been no country and people anywhere remotely as friendly to immigrants as the US and the eeeevul WASPs, who were under no obligation to share their stuff (or country) with foreign unbelievers but very generously did so anyway, a kindness unheard of in human history.Replies: @Anon, @Jack D

@91 AndrewR: “Lol. Persians are, what, 0.05% of the US population? 0.01? Arabs aren’t more than half a percent either. And they almost all assimilate to whiteness within a generation or two anyway, at least the non-Muslim ones do.”
One might wonder why so many of your comments utilize utterly bizarre and inaccurate numbers and percentages to downplay the dramatic drop in the White proportion of America’s population. Arabs, Persians, and other Mohammedans, last I read, are officially about 1% of the population. I don’t trust official numbers, however, and adding in the illegals and rapid influx of rapefugees in the last few years of Obamantion’s term, I’d say 1.5% conservatively. Jews and half-Jews (and even quarter Jews, who are often Jewier than the 100% ones) are about 3%. Add in those 85-95% White Latinos who lay claim to full European ancestry (these numbers are all based on self-reported census and other surveys, to the best of my knowledge), and Whites of European ancestry are perhaps 45% (the official percent being 51.7 non-hispanic White as of 2017, minus the others I’ve already listed).
As far as “assimilation” goes (a piss-poor and overused word that means whatever the user intends at that moment), most Mohammedans remain Mohammedan and separate from the rest of America socially, culturally, and religiously. Only those Levantines who were/are Christians (primarily Lebanese and Syrian) and who generally arrived between 1880-1925 intermarried and truly assimilated, insofar as “assimilation” applies to any who arrived after the War between the States.
So you’re saying it was Lubavitchers that took over the German government, forced an end to the war
No, in the fall of 1918, the body that ran the German government, forced an end to the war, got the Kaiser to abdicate, and then dumped the responsibility on the Social Democrats was … the German General Staff.

Funny thing about teammates Drysdale and Koufax. Drysdale was a mean son of a gun who led the league in hitting batters four years in a row, was often accused of doctoring the ball and doing other tricky stuff to win, and was extremely articulate and went on to a long career as a top broadcaster.
Koufax almost never hit anybody, was never accused (IIRC) of cheating, never seemed to do anything clever or underhanded to win, just seemed to want to match strength against strength in a fair fight, was inarticulate, reticent, and no good as an announcer, and retired to mostly living in small rural towns.

The German General Staff might have had a plan to get out from under the blame for losing the war by shuffling responsibility off to the poor Social Democrats in 1918 — they had plans for lots of thing. I don’t know for sure though.
But in the minds of lots of sore losers like Corporal Hitler, losing wasn’t his new buddy General Ludendorff’s fault, even though Ludendorff had been pretty close to military dictator of Germany in 1918.
Yup. For all the ‘blood and honor’ types agitating over the ‘stab in the back’, it’s useful to remember that the German Revolution was started by sailors who were asked to go on one last sortie *after the war had ended*. Can you imagine being asked to throw your life away for the glory of the Navy, after hostilities had ended?
From what I can tell there was enough Jewish presence in German movements of the center-left and far-left to make ‘Judeo-Bolshevism’ a vaguely credible conspiracy theory. Of course, there were plenty of gentile Germans angry at the aristocracy and capitalists. Whether that justifies exterminating *every single Jew in Europe*, down to halfies and quarters, not to mention starting the hugest war in human history, is another story.
I never saw anything besides that Halkin piece. Halkin is kind of a romantic who likes telling a good story about exotic stuff, which is fine, I just want more sources.
Ataturk went to a Donme school for awhile as a child in Salonika, their main city. So he was kind of a fellow traveler.
I don’t know that a plan by the general staff would have been necessary because Commies make trouble and talk about Communist ideals all day without additional inspiration. Losing a war humiliates; it doesn’t quickly lead to action. Communists taking over one empire and then briefly taking over one of your most important provinces guarantees a response.

“Clergy did join the movement in increased numbers, but it’s clear that few really wanted to do it, because MLK had to guilt-trip them into it.”
There was a significant minority in the south that was not aligned with the segregationists, but who were reluctant to “join the movement” because of a fear of what happens once revolutions get started.
Also, regarding:
The Merneptah Stele contains the earliest known reference to Israel and is dated to the late 1200s BC.
The reason Hitler caused so much trouble was that by around 1928, people in France and Britain were thinking: “We won the Great War, but was it worth it? We used to think so, but now we see the answer is: No. Let’s not do that again.” So pacifism and disarmament become big.
Meanwhile, Hitler is thinking: “We lost the Great War and nothing is more intolerable to my soul. We must do it all over again so that this time we can WIN!”
Sports fans will likely recognize a little part of themselves in Hitler’s feelings.
In sports, however, not too many people get killed, so you just have another season next year, giving hope to the losers from last year.
But with war, it’s really not a good idea to do it all over again just so that this time you can experience the Thrill of Victory and impose on the other guys the Agony of Defeat.
But it took human beings a long time to figure out that sports > war for emotional therapy.

Come one, Steve. You make it sound like a flight of fancy. But Churchill's naval blockade caused the death of a million Germans at the end of the war (impressing on Hitler the importance of independent access to food). The Versailles peace terms were widely seen as oppressive, not just in Germany. Germany lost a significant portion of its native territory, and millions of Germans in those areas were forced to live under the rule of hostile ethnic groups. Moreover, a murderous, genocidal regime with aspirations of world domination had taken root just to Germany's east.Replies: @Anonymous, @Hhsiii
You have got to be joking.
The British invented concentration camps specifically for the purpose of interning women and children and thus pressure the Boers to surrender.
The British initiated the criminal blockade of Germany during the First World War, which was responsible for many hundreds of thousands of Germans dying of malnutrition and continued the blockade even after the war. The unrestricted German U-Boat warfare was a response to this blockade, just as the so called “Blitz” on London was a response to three months of unanswered deliberate terror bombing of German cities.
So Hitler rearmed? So what? What was he supposed to do? Keep the tiny 100,000 man army allowed, with no tanks, no heavy artillery and no air force and only a small coastal fleet as under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, while in the meantime France fielded the largest Army in the world, Britain the largest Navy, with a potential invasion by the USSR? Even Czechoslovakia had much larger and better equipped armed forces than Weimar Germany. Hitler’s so called “rearmament” was a great power seeking parity with its potential adversaries, not worldwide domination.
I’ll have to ask my father. He witnessed it and has home video of it (shot by my grandfather).
But I’ve never heard him mention that.
But there are two quite different things going on:
1. The German General Staff pulling the plug on the war and the Kaiser, and handing the whole thing off to the Social Democrats to deal with and take the blame for. Remember, the average German, like Corporal Hitler, had no idea that the German General Staff knew the war was lost. The German Army had conquered vast territories in the east and was still fighting on French soil, not on German soil. But the General Staff knew from all their secret projections that 1919 would be a complete disaster with a giant American army marching to Berlin. So the GS pulled the plug and handed power to the SD politicians from before the war. And then it turned out that Germany had no leverage left at the coming peace talks, which I imagine the GS knew, but corporals didn’t understand.
2. Then various Communist groups rebelled, such as in Munich. The Social Democrats and the Communists hated each other. The Social Democratic government eventually crushed the Communists, using the Army and rightist ex-soldiers.

The reason why Germany surrendered in WWI was because of internal treason on the part of a significant part of the higher officers of the army and especially the navy, because the German bourgeoise thought it more advantageous to maintain trade relations with Britain, and because of *famine* . Supplies ran out, and there was no way of supplying the military far away with food and armament given the structural damages to railways and roads.
Both in WWI and WWII, America played a very minor role in beating Germany. In WWI, a large part of the credit goes to the French(yes the French), who made the trench war extremely costly to Germany since tanks were rare and ineffective those days, and that is what would be required to take land filled with dirt bombs and mines. Germans were fighting an offensive war while the French were merely playing a defensive game, so the Germans had to walk over mine-fileld land, which gave them very heavy casualties. Russia played the second biggest role. In WWII, the credit goes almost entirely to Russia(or the former U.S.S.R): about 65% of all Wehrmacht casualties were inflicted by Russians, and *all* the biggest battles of WWII were between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army. Teh naval batttles of Guadalcanal and Midway were trivial affairs compared to the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk in terms of causalties and resources spent - I am using naval battles as an example of American efforts because America had so little few remarkable land battles in WWII. In Europe, a dilapidated Wehrmacht on the brink of collapse made the American Military retreat during the Ardennes Offensive, despite the fact that the Americans had an almost 3 to 1 numerical superiority over the Germans and the Wehrmacht was in shambles by then. It doesen't matter, since the Russians had already defeated the Third Reich anyway.
America takes credit for defeating Japan during WWII, but it does not take credit for beating Germany. America started it's war efforts in Europe when the Red Army was already in west Poland. At best, America hastened Germany's defeat by about 6 months top.
It is also important to point out that Germany was much, much, much, much more powerful than Japan. Even in terms of naval power, Japan's strongest area - given that it is an island-nation -, Germany was still stronger mostly due to it's technological superiority in submarines. In terms of air power and especially land power, Germany was incomparably stronger. The pecking order of power of Axis Powers was: Germany >>>>>>>>>>>> Japan>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Italy. The Russians took the blunt of beating Hitler. That is simply factual. No country in history payed a price as high to win a war as Russia did in WWII: the estimated Russian casualties surpass 27 million people! That is almost two orders of magnitude more people than what America lost in the war. If anything the British deserve far more credit than Americans, because even though they didn't make nearly as much effort or lost nearly as much people as Russia, at least they endured bombing raids for years, and there were daily battles between the RAF and the Luftwaffe. Not to mention that the Royal Navy and the Kriegsmarine came to blows several times. But America? No. It's pure Hollywood fabrication. The biggest credit goes to Russia, and then to Britain in a distant second.Replies: @Jack D, @Anonymous
There were always exceptions - you might try to keep Jews out of your corporation as much as possible but a few guys were just too good to turn away - these were businesses after all. But you would be careful to limit the numbers lest your company get a reputation as being a place where a lot of Jews work, which would be undesirable for your broader recruiting efforts. Maybe the Jewish quota was not set at zero but you would set it at some very low number and try to find Jews who were not too "Jewy". When Feynman applied to Princeton grad school in 1939, the head of the dept. wrote to his buddy at MIT : "Is Feynman Jewish? We have no definite rule against Jews but have to keep their proportion in our department reasonably small because of the difficulty of placing them." Morse wrote back that Feynman was indeed Jewish, but reassured Smyth that Feynman's "physiognomy and manner, however, show no trace of this characteristic".

Could the fact that soviet Jews were massacring millions, that American Jews were writing lying propaganda praising what the soviet Jews were doing and that the CPUSA was so heavily Jewish Stalin had to order it to start using English instead of Yiddish have anything to do with American negative feelings against Jews?
It is a fairly minor factor. Jewish power didn’t suddenly rise from 1930 to 1950, but antisemitism became much less respectful. And antisemitism is just as disreputable in Oklahoma as New Jersey, despite the large gap in Jewish influence.
As for this: Various influential national institutions (e.g. media and fedgov) having heavy Jewish influence is of course completely unrelated to that.
Lot, when your arguments are that weak that should be telling you something.

But yeah, the ’43 riot was a real race riot, white versus black.
But I had thought there was more damage done in the ’67 riot.
But when black nationalism got going in '60s America (and started pushing against Jewish interests - the Jews in Brooklyn were physically being pushed out/mugged out of their neighborhoods by blacks and there was a brief experiment in NY with school decentralization where the local black controlled school boards tried to get rid of their Jewish school teachers) the lightbulb went on in the heads of some American Jews that they should follow the example of the blacks.

However Communists in Munich (and horror stories from Russian refugees) probably played more of a role in widespread, reasonable fears of imminent Bolshevism than the historical grievances of unrelated gentiles. One of those things makes logical (although not moral or perfectly correct) the sentiments of the day and one is an emotional appeal that amounts to shifting defamation from one party to another. As long as people are allowed in this topic to just babble -- while other people are legally for forbidden to talk -- the real popular consensus result will not be an authoritative belief system.

The Bolshevik Jews who took over Munich murdered 10,000 in a few months. That was enough to convince Germans to not let it happen again.
The situation of Jews was better than for blacks and better than it was in Europe but it was far from perfect. It didn't just mean that a few rich Jews couldn't join a WASP country club - it had real everyday implications for ordinary American Jews. When you went on a trip you had to be sure to book a hotel that was not restricted. My step FIL was advised to study civil engineering instead of chemical because you could practice the former privately while no big publicly traded chemical company would hire Jews. Jews were certainly able to make a life for themselves in America but certain doors were shut to them and they weren't just the doors to the country club as Steve would have you believe.
The end of discrimination against Jew was driven in part by the civil rights movement and laws - the same laws that prohibited race discrimination also prohibited religious discrimination. My MIL was able to get a job with Yale & Towne (as a draftswoman) during WWII because Federal contracts (even then) had non-discrimination requirements - before war, Y&T, like most big Philadelphia corporations, would never have hired a Jew. The Civil Rights Act of '64 put the last nail in the coffin of most forms of discrimination.
Also the Holocaust made anti-Semitism (and eugenics) disreputable. Before WWII, "polite" discrimination (and in the US it was mostly polite - even as discrimination was practiced it was shrouded in euphemism - hotels advertised that they were "restricted" but you were supposed to understand what "restricted" meant) was accepted as being part of the social order - not everyone agreed with it but if you practiced it, that was considered within the range of legitimate opinion. But after the war, anti-Semitism was understood as leading to the Holocaust and its practice by people in the mainstream was no longer seen as tolerable.Replies: @Lot, @snorlax, @AnotherDad, @Ian M.
Did the Leo Frank case have anything to do with this?

One might wonder why so many of your comments utilize utterly bizarre and inaccurate numbers and percentages to downplay the dramatic drop in the White proportion of America's population. Arabs, Persians, and other Mohammedans, last I read, are officially about 1% of the population. I don't trust official numbers, however, and adding in the illegals and rapid influx of rapefugees in the last few years of Obamantion's term, I'd say 1.5% conservatively. Jews and half-Jews (and even quarter Jews, who are often Jewier than the 100% ones) are about 3%. Add in those 85-95% White Latinos who lay claim to full European ancestry (these numbers are all based on self-reported census and other surveys, to the best of my knowledge), and Whites of European ancestry are perhaps 45% (the official percent being 51.7 non-hispanic White as of 2017, minus the others I've already listed).
As far as "assimilation" goes (a piss-poor and overused word that means whatever the user intends at that moment), most Mohammedans remain Mohammedan and separate from the rest of America socially, culturally, and religiously.

Everyone could do their own thing.
It’s not like that anymore. The government now tells you what kind of light bulbs and toilet you can use, and what your kids will be taught in school down to the last jot and tittle. It decides which racial groups will be first in line for government contracts and college admissions. It takes a third of the money you earn and gives it to other people.

Stereotypes are--statistically--true. Jews have certain patterns of behavior (pushy, crude, loud, arrogant) that some gentile groups find "unappealing". As Steve pointed out, the German Jews, generally found the eastern, pale-of-settlement Jews to be rude and crude … and these are their fellow Jews! Heck, certain gentile groups find other gentile groups to be "unappealing". This is the human norm practiced by Jews, whites, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Latins, blacks, etc. etc. Someone I get the impression JackD doesn't knock off work and go knock back a pint with the bruthas of Philadelphia.

Columbia was probably getting many more applications from outside the immediate NYC area in 1940 than 1920, too.
Those figures come from this NYT article from 1946:

Or in other words, if true and generally applicable, the exact same quota system to which whites and Asians are now subjected. Which is, btw, fairly mild.
Harvard had 20 Jewish students in 1906 vs. 7 Catholics in 1911 (I couldn’t find numbers from the same year, but presumably the ratio would be even wider). Even adjusting for IQ, that’s a massive overrepresentation, several multiples, of Jews relative to Catholics.
The point being that plenty of other immigrants had it every bit as bad or worse. And none have any cause to complain, because there had heretofore been no country and people anywhere remotely as friendly to immigrants as the US and the eeeevul WASPs, who were under no obligation to share their stuff (or country) with foreign unbelievers but very generously did so anyway, a kindness unheard of in human history.
Some people (me) think that this is a very fair and appropriate way to do admissions to academic institutions, certainly better than the ridiculous system we have now in order to hide the fact that there are secret racial quotas (nowadays to keep out Asians instead of Jews and to overpromote blacks and Hispanics).

The reason has nothing to do with work ability, much less honesty (black slaves are well attested as having stolen a lot of stuff, from their owners as well as from whites other than their owners and from each other - by the 1950s, Leftist academics were interpreting that history as blacks stealing to be social justice revolutionaries, not as blacks being criminally inclined blacks). The reason is that if a rich man in, say, New Orleans (which attracted a large number of penniless Irish immigrants starting after the Great Famine) had a dangerous project (and because of the heat-humidity factor combined with tons of disease carrying mosquitoes, almost all work was potentially very dangerous to health and life), and he used the slaves he owned, he could have lost a small fortune if even 3 dozen slaves died or became permanently incapacitated. But if he had hired immigrant Irish for the work, and 5 dozen died, he would have lose nothing. He could hire 5 dozen more immigrant whites and finish the job.
No owner of black slaves, for example, would have risked losing big bucks having the slaves dig out a coal mine and then later mine the coal. Many men always die in that work; many more get crippled. If your slaves die or become crippled, you lose money. If immigrants die doing your hard, dangerous work, you hire more immigrants and don't give a damn about safety conditions.

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/family-american-jewish Columbia was probably getting many more applications from outside the immediate NYC area in 1940 than 1920, too.
Those figures come from this NYT article from 1946: It's unclear what methodology Pelekis used, since he was not affiliated with Columbia and students' religion was non-public information, so in any event those figures are quite dubious. Or in other words, if true and generally applicable, the exact same quota system to which whites and Asians are now subjected. Which is, btw, fairly mild.
Harvard had 20 Jewish students in 1906 vs. 7 Catholics in 1911 (I couldn't find numbers from the same year, but presumably the ratio would be even wider). Even adjusting for IQ, that's a massive overrepresentation, several multiples, of Jews relative to Catholics.
The point being that plenty of other immigrants had it every bit as bad or worse. And none have any cause to complain, because there had heretofore been no country and people anywhere remotely as friendly to immigrants as the US and the eeeevul WASPs, who were under no obligation to share their stuff (or country) with foreign unbelievers but very generously did so anyway, a kindness unheard of in human history.Replies: @Anon, @Jack D

And speaking of rejection, my German ancestors kept really good records. From 1650 to about 1930, in Prussia, Canada, and in the Midwest, they only married other Prussian Lutherans. No Poles, no Jews, no German Catholics, not even any Germans from areas west of Berlin.Replies: @AnotherDad
Lot, i’m not exactly sure what point you’re trying to make.
If it’s to say that your blood proves that Jews were integrating and not rejectionist, then that’s just ahistorical and false. The DNA stuff has given us a very good idea of the origin of the Ashkenazi and it’s been discussed repeatedly on this blog. The Euro component was absorbed early–Jewish traders taking, mostly Italian, wives–and then the gene flow was really miniscule.
As I’ve said many times, the Jews who defected to actually become part of their local community are my ancestors not the ancestors of your Jewish side relatives.
As to the Lutherans marrying Lutherans–of course. This is just reinforcing my point: People like being in a community with people like themselves.
For all the theological folderol most people did not sit down during the reformation and have a good think about their position on these issues. No, nations, duchies, whathaveyou flipped one way or another and most folks just went with whatever was the local settlement to be part of their local community.
That’s the thing, people like being part of a community, being around people with the same language, religion, traditions and values; doing business with people who you understand and trust, whose kids might marry your kids.
The Jews rejected all that in favor of tribe. Their choice. But, of course, it has consequences. People are free to return the sentiment–they don’t want to have anything to do with us, fine, i don’t want to have anything to do with them.

This situation involves conflicting rights--the liberty to practice one's religion without interference versus the liberty of due process by way of public accommodation laws. On one hand, the baker could have easily served the couple. On the other hand, the couple could have sought another vendor.
The court, to me, took the easy way out and chose not to make a definitive ruling on the matter as to which liberty is more important in this particular circumstance.
"Since the court based its ruling on the state commission's treatment of Phillips, the decision did not provide the sweeping victory for religious rights that some backing Phillips hoped to see.

Jack you’ve trotted this out a couple times before–it’s apparently your zeroth amendment.
I’ll say first off, that Washington is being generous in spirit here–as was typical of his high character. Other founders–doing more “sociological” theorizing–said things that were a bit more reasonable. I.e. an understanding that the nation had a particular character–Anglo-Protestant–that enabled it to have the republican character it did. Furthermore i’d say that Washington was a bit naive about the Jews and if he’d seen how Jewish power/influence was used in America today, he’d probably be giving his remarks a big rethink.
But put all that aside. You’re a lawyer and are supposed to be able to parse language reasonably well. Washington simply does not say, what you–apparently–want to have him say. He’s saying here that everyone is entitled their natural rights–Jews included. Not at the sufferance of Anglos, but simply because they are natural rights given to all men.
This does not mean “Jews are entitled to other people’s stuff” nor “Jews are entitled to attend–much less numerically dominate–Protestant universities” nor even “Jews ought to be invited to all private clubs”. You carefully, edited off the concluding paragraph which makes this basic public/private dicotomy clear. (I include the whole thing below.)
“His own vine and fig tree.” Very clear stuff. Natural rights for all, and then go about your own private business. Washington would have been appalled by the notion that the government should be running around *making* some people do business with other people or making some people associate with other people.
~
I’ll go further. This public/private distinction that Washington briefly sketches here is a critical one–in fact it is *the* critical one. It is precisely the freedom for people to have their own private stuff–property, businesses, schools, publications, organizations–that is not within the purview of the state to boss around that is the soul of freedom. Private stuff not being at the disposal of the thugs–whether commies or Nazis or kleptocratic globalist elites or “what’s good for the Jews” busybodies like yourself–is what keeps a society free. When the state can order private persons and organizations around and tell them who they must admit or associate with, we are no longer free.

I am pretty serious about this idea.
Men have been going to war for a long, long time. Some feudal lord would think it only right and fitting that if he lost his last war, he’d go back to war and get vengeance.
Hitler really, really wanted to taste victory. It had been so close in 1918, a colossal triumph in the East and a giant offensive in the West that looked for a month or so like it might take Paris. And then … defeat.
But WWI showed that war was really awful with modern technology. The winners started to doubt it had been worth it.
Hitler personally loved war, but to get the Germans to go along with his plan to do it again, he couldn’t just make it a war for a leader’s glory. He had to turn it into a people’s war that would give Germans land and slaves to the Urals and establish a 1000 years of German peace and domination. And that made it worse.

Those evacuated would disappear into the "East" and were never heard from again.

Come one, Steve. You make it sound like a flight of fancy. But Churchill's naval blockade caused the death of a million Germans at the end of the war (impressing on Hitler the importance of independent access to food). The Versailles peace terms were widely seen as oppressive, not just in Germany. Germany lost a significant portion of its native territory, and millions of Germans in those areas were forced to live under the rule of hostile ethnic groups. Moreover, a murderous, genocidal regime with aspirations of world domination had taken root just to Germany's east.Replies: @Anonymous, @Hhsiii

The vine and fig tree line is a Biblical quote and not Washington’s own words.

The Founding Fathers gave a lot of thought to questions like this because they were starting a new form of government with a “clean sheet” design – you don’t get a chance to do that very often. And their conclusion was the exact opposite.
They didn’t say that all men are equal but WASPs are more equal than others.
You quote a snippet out of its context and make it appear as if that's the be all, end all, final word on everything pertaining to immigration, race, etc. and that's naive. For balance, would suggest you go to Amren and listen to Jared Taylor on Jefferson's phrase.
The idea that Founding Fathers were not race realists or were egalitarians to the max (e.g. like Revolutionary France during the same era) is simply ridiculous. A bit of Emma Lazarus creeping into the interpretation.
For that generation, "all men" in context directly pertained to whites first and foremost. Otherwise they'd have abolished slavery right there and then. Duh. Also, until the rise of Andrew Jackson in politics in the 1820's, "all men" directly pertained to those adult white males who held property, much like in Ancient Athens.

Many “Japanese” who immigrated to Hawaii were in fact Ryukyuans who were ethnically and linguistically distinct from Japanese. The Ryukyu Kingdom continued under Japanese suzerainty until 1879 before it was formally absorbed.
Ryukyuans are ethnically distinct from main island Japanese. Their languages were distinct from but related to Japanese. The languages are now moribund as a result of systematic Japanization, especially after the U.S. returned the occupied Ryukyus to Japan in 1972.
During the final phase of World War II, Okinawa was the only part of “Japan” to experience a land invasion. Soldiers from the main Japanese islands often treated Ryukyuans as a subject race. Tens of thousands of Ryukyuans including teams of young girls were forced into suicide missions armed only with sharpened bamboo poles. Ryukyuan peasant families were simply murdered by Japanese soldiers who took over defensive caves dug by Ryukyuans.
The Japanese now insist on calling the territory “Okinawa” and continue to work hard to suppress any memory of the name “Ryukyu” and of the Ryukyuans’ own ethnic and linguistic traditions.

No, everything in the world is not yours to manage and disperse as you see fit, just because you think you know better and are entitled to it. And unlike your claim that you read Washington's letter to Newport's Jews and ergo have the super-secret--just you and George--code of what America is really about, *not* having the state run around and busybody everyone is actually what America is--or was--really about. And for darn near 200 years we were--mostly--doing fine with that.)
As you note, people (your people in fact) already discriminate against my people--flyover country white gentiles. It's there. We're the unrepresented folks at Harvard now. (Not just not at our meriocratic share, but actively discriminated against for doing flyover country stuff like 4H or JROTC so we're actually at less than our national share--much less the horror of being only 5x our share.) But i'm ok with your people not wanting my opinion on the NYT editorial page, or in their investment banks. I'm not offended that the world doesn't love me.
What i object to is that we white guys are not allowed to do the same. *We*--and alone we white gentiles--are not allowed to create stuff and keep it and enjoy it ourselves. (Not businesses, not schools, not neighborhoods, not nations.) I can live just fine with other folks discriminating against me--my people--as long as i get to do the same. I have great faith, that white gentiles can do *just fine* on our own, by our own talents. Afterall, we've created the best--most pleasant--nations in the world, that everyone else wants to glom onto.
But the current order--which basically your people engineered--is that white guys must not be left alone. White guys are allowed to create stuff. But then it isn't theirs--it must be open to, shared with, everyone else--women, blacks, muslims, homos, lesbians, trannies, Mexicans, Africans, Chinese, etc. etc. etc. The product of white guys belongs to all. I.e. we've slaves--free to run, but no place to run to.
I say "Discriminate away! Just cut us loose." Let's split the country--right now. You and David Brooks and Brett Stephens can have your rainbow hued utopia where everything (not Jewish) belongs to everyone and you all sit around and sing kumbaya while soaking in the blessings of diversity. And stale pale penis people like me can have our old boring 1950ish patriarchy which will not be "inclusive" and will based on tired old Christian traditions, American founding notions of limited government and rule-of-law and Anglo-Saxon notions of natural rights and ergo ... a terrible, backward, repressive place that no one will want to live in, and will no doubt flee from and bang on the doors of your globotopia.
It's win-win. You're be rid of us terrible racist, holocaust creating white guys once and for all. I can't understand why you don't want to just give us our share of the nation and cut us loose, so you can enjoy those broad sunlit uplands of diversity?Replies: @JerseyJeffersonian, @MBlanc46
Right, I disagree with the founders.
Fair enough, but the Common Carrier Doctrine is much more circumscribed than the modern notion that engaging in any commercial activity strips one of his First Amendment Rights.
Wow. Way back in 2006. That’s amazing. And that’s why I spend half my time on the internet with this site!
This makes sense only if you are a rabid anti-Semite. To anyone else they are not remotely the same. Maybe if Hitler had stopped at re-occupying the Ruhr you could compare the two, but the bloody conquest of Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals in which tens of millions died is not remotely comparable.
I realize that answering him (her/it?) is casting pearls before swine but maybe others will learn something.
As it was, two of my uncles (one of whom survived the war – the other was killed by Poles who we now know from the Polish government were NOT anti-Semitic) who were living in hiding in the nearby countryside (I should add aided by helpful Poles – Poland was a very mixed bag, but as you can see from this forum it doesn’t take too many people peeing in the soup to ruin it for everyone) and were aware that the entire town (including their parents and sisters) had been (violently) evacuated. Those evacuated would disappear into the “East” and were never heard from again. We now know that the train went to Treblinka and that everyone on the train (who didn’t die en route) was gassed upon arrival. That’s all that anyone will ever know – no one is alive to say any more than that.
My posts to you have been polite and relevant. Your gratuitous insults are interesting. This is a topic that you introduced to the thread. I don't get a sense you are uncomfortable discussing it from an emotional perspective, although I am beginning to sense you are ducking certain questions.

These were the sons of your grandfather, brothers to your mother or brother? They were hiding out on the outskirts of town but your parents and sisters continued to live in the town? Why was that?

I've just posted a separate reply to you about this, asking how you know they were sent to Treblinka and what--and how--you know about what happened to them from there.
It was definitely more circumscribed at common law but it’s no great intellectual leap to say that if Greyhound Bus Lines has to accommodate everyone who wants to ride the bus then they should also have to accommodate everyone who wants to sit at the lunch counter in the bus station. There is really not a lot of 1st Amendment expression involved in a chicken salad sandwich.
“Actually, most researchers now believe Tom Watson (the “ours, by the eternal God!” guy) did it.”
That is simply not true, unless by “researchers” you mean “Bigfoot experts, and also historians who believe Abraham Lincoln was the Yorkshire ripper and the true author of Shakespeare’s plays”. Because that’s the level of “researching” one would need to come up with a theory that.
Watson was an early choice by Frank’s family to legally defend Leo Frank. Someone now seriously believes he was the actual murderer?
Some Jewish guys are not above making a deal with women who would not otherwise be seduced by their (non-existent) charm and good looks - I'll put something extra in your pay packet if you give me something extra in return. I would not be shocked if Leo Frank was Atlanta's answer to Harvey Weinstein.

Pat, you really don’t do much reading, do you?
Bugliosi argues that JFK was NOT the victim of a conspiracy but of a lone gunman, namely Lee Harvey Oswald.
In fact Bugliosi, being of Italian descent, is an Italian conspiracy theorist.
According to your own logic you can no longer rely on Bugliosi's arguments, even in the JFK matter, due to the damning evidence that Bugliosi is a conspiracy theorist.

Circulation of Watson’s publications skyrocketed when he started his anti-Frank campaign, and it helped him get back into politics. He knew which side his bread was buttered on: create a problem, and you can appear to solve it.
I'm no expert on the case, but that seems to fit.Replies: @Anon, @Rosamond Vincy
That's all you have? He made a lot of political hay from the trial, therefore he was probably the killer?
Your initial claim was that "most researchers" now believe Watson did it. I was hoping for a link or any evidence to show that ANY serious researcher believes this, let alone most, but you have yet to provide anything.
Rudy Guiliani got a pretty good career boost from 9/11. That doesn't mean he was behind it.
But what "the law" decrees is completely arbitrary. It can make those natural explicit and protect them, or it can thuggishly demand people hop and dance to the tune of the authorities. Do stuff like make Christian bakers bake wedding cakes for some homosexuals getting married who feel like harassing Christians. Talking about what is "legal" is not particularly interesting--it's just whatever the guys with guns are making people do right now.Replies: @Corvinus, @Jack D, @Ian M.
None of these is a fundamental natural right.
Take freedom of speech or religion: these presuppose some implicit and more fundamental moral code that determines what counts as free speech or permissible religious practice in the first place.
In this case, known as the Every Damn Time Effect.

It’s much more likely that Jim Conley (the black janitor) was the murderer.
