I just came across another example of Jews and Nazis making common cause:

Ilana Mercer, a columnist for WorldNetDaily and a fellow at the Jerusalem Institue for Market Studies, is also a contributor to VDARE, a right-wing anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim website oft cited and contributed to by neo-Nazis and White Nationalists.

I wholly disagree with your statement that "His famous 'On the Jewish Question' called for an end to the emancipation of the Jews because they were enslaved by a harsher taskmaster than the German state: their own religion."

"On the Jewish Question" did not call for an end to the empancipation of the Jews--it posited that the emancipation of the Jews would come through the emancipation of all peoples via socialist revolution. More to the point, it argued that Jews should emancipate themselves from Judaism should they wish to achieve equality and equaniminity.

To Marx, Jewish religious and national identity were vestiges of a tribal worldview that would be rendered obsolete by the enlightenment expected to prevail under socialism.  This, in the Objectivist critique, is the road to cultural homogenization and the destruction of individual identity with the end game of subservience to the State. In the modern secular worldview, it is the road to overcoming millenia of bloodsoaked ethnic, national and religious conflict. In the rabbinic view, it's called olam haba, the differences being that we get to stay Jewish, everyone else becomes homogenized as Noahides and we're all subservient to God instead of the State.

The compromise we seem to have made is liberal multiculturalism, imperfect a dogma as it may be.

I also believe your selective quoting of the Talmud betrays the fact that there's an even greater wealth of material in the tradition obligating us to provide for the poverty-stricken and advocating the implementation of what we regard today as taxpayer supported social services. The rabbis can certainly acknowledge the discrepancy in the "blessings" individuals receive without necessarily cheering it on.

an anonymous coward called me a nazi-hugger because i think palestinians share the right to self-determination?! what are the chances?

Goldfarb proved what kind of person he was when he decided to respond to Ron Paul's decision to take money from Nazis by attacking me for pointing it out.  He can suck a fat one.

i was referring almost exclusively to the anti-obama smears which, yes, unfortunately, are primarily coming from within the jewish community.

I regretfully disagree with Eva's assessment of “intergenerational transmission of trauma" and her assertion that "Trauma cannot be transmitted to others."

As she identified, "3Gs are not experiencing Nazi racism or genocide. What is transmitted to 3Gs are values, worldview, family interaction and love—not trauma."

Indeed, my generation has not been traumatized by having directly experienced persecution at the hands of the Nazis.  Rather, it is our stated family interactions and the values we have inherited from our progenitors that account for our traumatization.

Our historical and religious narratives perpetuate a legacy of persecution: One should view himself as though he had been a slave in Egypt; the Amalekites shall rise up in every generation; 6 million perished in Europe; Israel is the most vilified nation on Earth; "They tried to kill us. We survived. Let's eat." Even our national symbol, the Menorah, recalls surviving our near-total destruction. In fact, I may go so far as to argue that the primary characteristic of Jewishness in itself is the affectation of surviving traumatic historical episodes. 

Add to this our generation's coming of age in a time of outright hostility towards Israel and Jewish national identity, which has brought along with it resurging levels of antisemitism.

And finally, consider the all-too common experience of domestic violence shared by 2nd and 3rd generation survivors, who embody and perpetuate the effects of physical and psychological abuse initiated by 1st generation survivors.  I find it telling that the defining act which earned Abraham the inheritance of Israel was that of traumatizing his son Isaac by binding him to a sacrificial altar. This is where our story begins.

In that, while we may not have inherited the very trauma that afflicted our grandparents directly, I believe it self-evident that we have inherited trauma itself.

i was just having dinner w/ a friend who works in intellectual property and we were talking about my "jesus was a kike" design.  amusing to see it pilfered here... theft is, after all, the sincerest form of flattery.

Inspire stole my passport and he and Poe together hospitalized my sister when she confronted him about it.  You can read the whole story here:
