The Luftmenschen Strike Again

In every generation, a cadre of Jews arises that puts the Jewish community into unnecessary conflict and controversy. Into something even my activist, socialist ancestors would caution is “not our fight.� There is always a cost for such imprudent behavior. For overextending. And always, there are assurances beforehand that there will not be such a cost.

But there is always such a cost. And rarely are the promised benefits for getting into a fight that is not ours reaped in any significant way.

logo-1.gifOnce again, Jewcy knows all, and is pushing its big nose into shit that it has no business getting into.

This time it’s Kosovo. To be clear, I have no position on this ancient conflict. I am not saying no one should have a position, but I do not think that there is a compelling reason for the Diaspora Jewish community to have one. That the Zionist Entity is concerned with unilateral process is a good reason to me as any for the Diaspora Jewish community to shut up.

Instead, the Jewish community has been disproportionately represented in this ancient conflict in recent years, and for what?

I am not taking the Serbian side here, but why should I be impressed with the Albanian side?

Stephen Suleyman Schwartz offers that,

Although Saudi Arabia maintains a relief office in Prishtina, and built a small number of mosques in Kosovo, their presence is resented. Kosovars disliked the Saudi Wahhabis, who defaced cemeteries on the argument that grave markers are idols, and who sought to replace historic Ottoman and modern Albanian mosques, which are also built in the Ottoman style, with new, Gulf-style mosques.

That’s nice, but why should I be so happy to see an Islamic presence in Europe? Because they aren’t Saudi? They might just find some other way to cause trouble and spread the good word of The Prophet.

Adam Lebor writes,

But across Kosovo there is a widespread sympathy for Israel, as the homeland of another oppressed people, the Jews, who have had to fight to carve out their state. Hashim Thaci, Kosovo’s prime minister, has repeatedly spoken of his respect for Israel. He recently gave an interview to Ha’aretz, pledging that Kosovo will be not be an Islamic nation. and asking for Israel to recognise the new country.

This seems quite speculative. Why should we believe that this Muslim country will indeed prove friendly to Israel?

Lebor offers,

“Thaci’s desire for ties with Israel are also about realpolitik.�

No shit. And that could change once they get what they want. And you know who once again doesn’t have realpolitik? That would be Jewcy.

So what is the real problem with Jewcy? Why do they do these classic big nose mistakes that so many Jews throughout the modern age have made?

Because they don’t recognize an eternal truth about the Jewish condition. We are in exile. We have been in exile for almost all of our history, And we still are. Jewcy doesn’t like that. They laugh at such a mentality. But that doesn’t make our situation different. History does not stop with us because hipsters decide it should.

Better we should ask, what does it mean to be in exile?

We are a small people. We cannot boss everyone around. We are to be a quiescent people. We are to look within, not bark foreign policy orders. Or even domestic orders. When we act in a big nose fashion, it always comes back to bite us in the ass. This will too. Just you wait, Jewcy.. Just sit back, kick up your feet, and wait for this one to bite us in the ass also.

And next time, remember…

“Shah, shtill!�

Mazel Tov. Nicely done.

If we actually see some sort of benefit toward human rights, then great. If not, then some realpolitik would be better.

Where the hell is Jewcy on Turkey invading Iraq? And for that matter where the hell is the rest of the media on this issue?

Here we go again. The Jewish people seem to have a need to be involved in everything that goes on in any hidden corner of the world. Usually to our own detriment. When will we ever learn to keep our mouthes shut and stay out of things that dont concern us. Oh well I am one of those Jews so…Avi

why is Kosovar Islam better than Saudi Islam? Because Kosovar Islam is mostly Bektashi Sufism, isn’t it? Egalitarian, musical, and the Islam of choice for Sabatean converts.

I would invite you to do a search on albanians and jews, the answers may astound you. Albanians have been, thoughout history, a good friend of the jews. As a Jew I can openly say that Kosovo is the one place on the planet where I feel the most comfortable telling peiople that I am jewish. Albania, is the only country that had a 100% survival rate for the jews who fled there during the war. They also gave Einstein his passport so he could travel to the US. Do a search, be suprised, support the new independent Kosova
Shalom

Rather apropos, I had a run-in with a Kosovo Albanian student today.

And I thought it were uncritical folks named after some of the most outstanding saints in the Catholic registry.. How could I be fooled?

Does that mean I may not meet DK for coffee anymore?
