  • Did The Jews Destroy Western Culture?

    I have often been intrigued by the hounding of the Jews throughout History by all Races, Nations.

     

    My feeling is that not all of them could be the aggressors and that all of them were wrong.

     

    I have not been able to spot of a single reason for this persecution,barring the oft-repeated statements like the Jews are miserly,they stick together, they bleed others white by usury and they occupy the Highest offices wherever they go, irrespective of the nation where they live.

    Did the Jews destroy Western Culture?

    Take a look ,for example at US.

    And , of course , not to forget Christ!

    Jewish Culture was integrated by the Western Culture and , in my opinion, not other wise.

    Even Christianity is for the Reformation of the Jewish practices and not out right condemnation of Judaism.

    To me to state that Judaism destroyed Western Culture is akin to saying Protestantism destroyed Christianity!

    But Historical evidence points out to the persecution of Jews more than the persecution of the West by The Jews.

    The Judaic Destruction of Western Culture
    The Judaic Destruction of Western Culture

    Persecution of The Jews by all Races.

    “In the Middle Ages Antisemitism in Europe was religious. Though not part of Roman Catholic dogma, many Christians, including members of the clergy, have held the Jewish people collectively responsible for killing Jesus, a practice originated by Melito of Sardis. As stated in the Boston College Guide to Passion Plays, “Over the course of time, Christians began to accept… that the Jewish people as a whole were responsible for killing Jesus. According to this interpretation, both the Jews present at Jesus Christ’s death and the Jewish people collectively and for all time, have committed the sin of deicide, or God-killing. For 1900 years of Christian-Jewish history, the charge of deicide has led to hatred, violence against and murder of Jews in Europe and America.”[3]

    During the High Middle Ages in Europe there was full-scale persecution in many places, with blood libels, expulsions, forced conversions and massacres. An underlying source of prejudice against Jews in Europe was religious. Jews were frequently massacred and exiled from various European countries. The persecution hit its first peak during the Crusades. In the First Crusade (1096) flourishing communities on the Rhine and the Danube were utterly destroyed; see German Crusade, 1096. In the Second Crusade (1147) the Jews in France were subject to frequent massacres. The Jews were also subjected to attacks by the Shepherds’ Crusades of 1251 and 1320. The Crusades were followed by expulsions, including in, 1290, the banishing of all English Jews; in 1396, 100,000 Jews were expelled from France; and, in 1421 thousands were expelled from Austria. Many of the expelled Jews fled to Poland.[4]

    As the Black Death epidemics devastated Europe in the mid-14th century, annihilating more than a half of the population, Jews were taken as scapegoats. Rumors spread that they caused the disease by deliberately poisoning wells. Hundreds of Jewish communities were destroyed by violence in the Black Death persecutions. Although Pope Clement VI tried to protect them by the July 6, 1348 papal bull and another 1348 bull, several months later, 900 Jews were burnt alive in Strasbourg, where the plague hadn’t yet affected the city.[5]

    Jews in India faced no persecution from Hindus from the time they migrated to India, but they were subjugated by Christian missionaries during the Goa Inquisition from the year 1552. Portuguese invaders in the South India committed massive atrocities on South Indian Jewry in the 17th Century.[6]

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Jews

    I chanced upon one Video and a News Article on the subject, but I remain unconvinced that the Jews destroyed the Western Culture.

    In case you have any information, please share.

    Jews destroyed Western Culture.

    “Divorce replaces marriage, abortion replaces birth, the home acquires a mere utilitarian function, and the family becomes the battleground of individual strife.

    Promoting the erotic-as-its-own-end, Jewish Hollywood deliberately undermines the propagation of the White race, scorns its history, and crushes its destiny.

    The disintegrated victims shorn of their organic and historic connections with the great super-personal content of Life, become unfruitful, lose both their will to power and theirwill to propagate.

    Following in this wake of Judaic wreckage, the White Christian victims lack the ability to believe in or to follow anything noble and future-reaching.

    The Jew has attained his goal in destroying Western culture while at the same time he remains embodied in an organism immune from his destructive programme.

    Could another “organism” with its own self-preserving aims and boundaries surface to oppose Judaic rule?

    Militarism is emerging as a potent political and economic force in the West. Could the military be the Western world’s last hope in overturning the power of the Jew?…

  • Anti Semitic Groups of The World, Wisenthal

    I recently posted  that the voice against Israel’s Policies is not Anti Semitic.

     

    Then I did some research.

     

    I came across a Link through Der Spiegel The German News Paper on a List prepared By Simon Wiesenthal who is responsible for the hunting down of Nazis accused of War Crimes during Hitler’s Regime.

     

    I was shocked to find that the Anti Semitic Groups are quite active and they continue to spew venom.

     

    I am also surprised at the number of Islamic terrorist Groups which target Jews.

     

    Historically Islam treated the Jews better comparatively than the other Groups of the World(Ref.O!Jerusalem,The Rise and fall of the Third Reich)

     

    Such activities are to be dissuaded, if not nipped in the bud by the respective Governments as this virus if transnational.

    EUROPEAN FOOTBALL (SOCCER) FANS’ ANTI-SEMITISM
    The problem of anti-Semitic abuse at soccer matches which until
    recently has been limited to Eastern Europe, has been revived in Western
    Europe. The most serious situation has been a resurgence of anti-Semitic
    chanting toward one particular team, Tottenham Hotspur, which is based
    in a traditionally Jewish section of London. In a recent match against
    a rival West Ham United, sections of its fans chanted, “Adolf Hitler’s
    coming for you” and “You’re getting gassed in the morning” and
    making hissing noises like the sound of a gas chamber. A reporter for the
    Telegraph said, “We are not talking about a few isolated crooners here.
    A significant proportion of West Ham’s travelling support participated.“
    Because Tottenham has the largest Jewish fan base in England, it has long
    been the target of anti-Semitism—so much so that the fans have adopted
    the slurs “Yid” and “Yiddo” as a way of deflecting abuse.

    rounded up the Jews to murder them at Babi Yar and in the death camps. Mila Kunis’

    of the Nazi punk band Pogrom. One of the band’s songs, “Auschwitz”
    included anti-Semitic lyrics such as “f*** Wiesenthal”, “f*** Anne

    “Israel is threatened by Islamic fundalmentalists in its neighborhood. But the Jews also

  • Voice Against Israel’s Aggression Is Not Anti Semitism

    Any criticism of Israel whenever it indulges in activities which may be termed as  ‘terrorist’, is attacked with the inundation that it is ‘Anti Semitic’

    Read the following story from Der Spiegel.

     

    Germany collaborated with Israel for building a Submarine for carrying Nuclear Missile .

     

    The investigative reporter who did that article is immediately snubbed as Anti Semitic .

     

    DPA German journalist Jakob Augstein.
    DPA German journalist Jakob Augstein.

    “Given the rising trends of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel resentments in German society, it’s probably helpful to focus on the effects of this new quality and tone of Israel criticism in the public discourse. Even Günter Grass may wholeheartedly believe it’s his life’s last mission to communicate Israel’s danger to the world out of love and friendship for the Jewish people and their state. The effect of this trend on media consumers, however, is more important than the motives of more or less relevant individual authors.“

    “Last June’s cover story in SPIEGEL on the German-Israeli submarine deal is an example: ‘Should Germany, the country of the perpetrators, be allowed to assist Israel, the land of the victims, in the development of a nuclear weapons arsenal capable of extinguishing hundreds of thousands of human lives?’ … ‘Should Germany, as its historic obligation stemming from the crimes of the Nazis, assume a responsibility that has become ‘part of Germany’s reason of state?” The subtext is clear: 1. Israel plans to wipe out the Iranian people and thus is equal to the Third Reich. 2. Germany is pressured into this because of the Holocaust.”

    “The systematic and subtle manipulation of this sort in reports about Israel — whether skillfully staged or unintentional, to a large extent explains why, according to a study on anti-Semitism in German society recently commissioned by the Bundestag (the federal parliament), almost 40 percent of Germans claim that ‘Jews try to take an advantage out of the Third Reich History;’ why 44 percent say they ‘understand that one dislikes Jews, when looking at Israel’s policies.’”

    The point in italics is 100 % true.

    Israel seems to believe that their sufferings entitle them to indulge in the crimes they have accused of others!

    To avenge the sufferings, as it were, the Israelis have a made People with out motherland(Palestinians) , who(Arabs) were the people  throughout the History of the persecution of the Jews were the most tolerant in comparison.

    The common belief that the Jews are/were Lily white is erroneous.

    If they were why is it they were singled out by nearly all the cultures?

    Referring to Mythologies might soothe their conscience.

    http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/ronen-bergman-on-the-conflation-of-criticism-of-israel-with-antisemitism-a-877479.html

    Gaza is a place out of the end of times,” Augstein writes in one of the lines quoted by the Wiesenthal Center. “1.7 million people live there on 360 square kilometers. Israel incubates its own opponents there.” Other lines chosen to illustrate the journalist’s alleged anti-Semitism state that US presidents “must secure the support of Jewish lobby groups” and that “the Netanyahu government keeps the world on a leash with an ever-swelling war chant.” Augstein writes that “Jews also have their fundamentalists, the ultra-orthodox Hareidim,” who are “cut from the same cloth as their Islamic fundamentalist opponents.” And he calls “the US Republicans and the Israeli government” insane and unscrupulous.

    Perhaps predictably, the inclusion of Augstein, son of SPIEGEL’s founding editor in chief Rudolf Augstein, on the list has launched yet another national debate in Germany about the contours of anti-Semitism and how far one can go when criticizing Israel before being labelled a racist.Germany’s history, after all, has long informed the country’s deep official support of Israel, but its center-left majority displays an almost reflexive affinity for the Palestinians.(Der Spiegel)
