Laws against blasphemous statements about his god…the Baal HaShoah.

One of the debates about the fight over at Hate Crimes is the contention that these laws are not just about reacting to violence, but actually seek to curb free speech, and the fighting words of the majority population.

It is hard not to have those suspicions when the Grand Rabbi of the Holocaustian community is lobbying for jail for revisionists.

My response is on Jewcy.

My friend Guy White was brutalized by a hypersensitive co-religionist yesterday. It’s something we need to be aware of, because far, far too many Jews are overreactive, ready to pounce, eager to insult decent, reasonable people with the most excessive vitriolic denunciations over nothing.

Guy White writes,

Yesterday I am talking to this English guy who all of a sudden says that he voted for BNP. So I chime in that I support them as well, but then I decided to see if he’s a patriot/nationalist BNP supporter or a Nazi. I ask if he thinks the Holocaust happened or if it’s a hoax. The guy says, “Yes, six million Jews got killed.”

All of a sudden, from out of nowhere, this psycho-Jew attacks me. I didn’t even see him until he began yelling at me for denying the Holocaust, for hating Jews, etc.

HIAS is Franchising

A New Classification for a Limitless and Easily Manipulated Category of Refugees

Israeli-Born Holocaustian Neil Grungras, founder of the “Organization for Refuge, Asylum, & Migration” Believes Third World LGBT Population are The New Jews

Michael Kaminer of the Forward reports,

A former executive of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society is about to shake up the world of refugee aid. Longtime refugee advocate, Neil Grungras, founded the Organization for Refuge, Asylum, & Migration last January and it is on the verge of launching a historic global survey about prevailing attitudes toward lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender migrants.

A New Cause: Former Jewish refugee specialist Neil Grungras now seeks to aid gay and transgender people fleeing oppression.

Starting in January 2010, ORAM will query more than 100 NGOs worldwide about their protocols for helping gay and transgender individuals — “the most persecuted group on the planet,” according to Grungras. The new agency bills itself as “the first international Non-Governmental Organization focusing on refugees fleeing sexual and gender-based violence.”

Where do you think these refugees are going to be coming from? France? Canada?

And I wonder where, oh where, he will want to put them.

And the great thing is, how do you prove someone isn’t gay or Lesbian? Kind of hard to prove isn’t it? I guess we had better just take their word for it.

What is motivating this mission? Would you believe…

Grungras’s zeal isn’t just academic. The son of a Polish-born mother who survived Auschwitz, and a German-born father who survived Polish work camps, he sees “striking parallels” between the persecution of Jews in the Holocaust and the persecution of gay and transgender people in many countries in the world today.

Whenever a Jew invokes his Holocaustian descent as a motivational factor, he should immediately be removed from a position of communal or civic leadership. Such people do not work for the U.S. And they do not work for the Jewish community.

They work for the Baal HaShoah.

Finally, New York has (yet another) Holocaust center. What a wonderful use of taxpayer money during a recession.

Queens Borough president Helen Mashall gave $2 million from her discretionary fund to the new Queensborough Community College Holocaust Resource Center.

Assemblyman Mark Weprin gave $1.5 million from his discretionary fund.
Councilman David Weprin gave $1.5 million.
State Senator Frank Padavan gave $1.5 million.

The opening apparently had over two hours of speeches, with half of them given by politicians. It is election year, and apparently, the vote is on the Holocaust.

What do we learn from this? The obvious. Not only is Holocaustism a poor allocation of Jewish communal funds. It is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Edwin Black writes in a web exclusive, “Holocaust `Industry’ More About Money Than Memory” in the NY Jewish Week that,

The controversy over Pat Buchanan continues, and I do intend to explain my position later at length if this whole bruhaha doesn’t die down, but I would like to point out that the sanctimonious screechings of the (usually) Jewish social-Left against “hate” are often just as shrill and, well, hateful, as those they are attacking.

Take Ben Cohen’s screed at Huffpost. This guy has spittle running down his chin.

Though conceding that, “Buchanan is technically right about discrimination,” Cohen never the less can’t figure out why anyone would be “dedicated to bemoaning ‘reverse discrimination’ and the rise of ‘unqualified’ minorities.”

Well, that would be anyone dedicated to a modicum of meritocracy, actually.

And after all,

“Every minority in America has suffered at the hands of white people.”

This is a real whitewash. Every minority has suffered at the hands of every majority or the ruling power since time immemorial, particularly when we are discussing “suffering” according to the expansive definition of Ben Cohen.

And everything is Holocaust related for Cohen, of course.

It is a country founded by white people, built by white people and controlled by white people. To pretend otherwise is akin to holocaust denial. It is a fact.

Cohen notes,

Buchanan is part of a vocal minority that prey on white people’s fear.

Every advocate for an ethnically based group in some way preys upon that group’s fears. That’s how it works. And that is exactly what Ben Cohen himself is doing.

The MSM’s penchant for a tear up is one thing, a man dedicated to furthering the cause of the white race is another.

Right. Everyone else is allowed to do that, on MSNBC or anywhere else, but not white people. Right, Ben?

The embattled white man is angry, and he’s not going to go down without a fight.

Cohen’s mockery of white men is unremitting and utterly unsympathetic. He finally notes,

There’s no debating with ingrained racism like this.

I couldn’t agree more, Ben.

In response to yesterday’s terrorist murder, Mark Oppenheimer has an interesting essay, “American Psycho,” on the new magazine, Tablet, on the diversity of anti-semitism. It is much more insightful than what you will read from the professional defense/fundraising organizations like the ADL.

One of the major disagreements I have with those who “fight” anti-semitism is when they “fight” Holocaust denial. I am personally always relieved when an anti-semitic organization rails against the “Holohoax.” Whenever a group endorses a position that can be demonstrably proven to be false, that is a gift to their opposition. All the documents were forged? Beautiful. Keep going. Please. Such an irrational platform will severely limit the quality of the movement’s growth. That’s why strategically, as well as morally, Jewish groups that seek to outlaw Holocaust denial or “fight” it passionately are doing our community a terrible disservice. Holocaust denial should be great for us. The last thing we should do is actually legitimize insanity by outlawing it or tantruming. It can make us look “afraid” of “the truth.” That’s not a logical response. That is an emotional response. Jews should put down the Elie Wiesel, and pick up Sun Tzu.

The same tactic is appropriate as well when fighting the ultra-Orthodox. I love it when the haredim insist that the world is literally a New Earth, under 6,000 years old. The more they scream disprovable nonsense, the better. The more ferociously they decry macro-evolution, the better.

What’s my point? To compare Nazis to haredim? No, it’s not, so don’t leave hyper-emotional comments accusing me to that effect on this post. My point is to not seek to censor your opponents from revealing how irrational they are. The ranting and ravings–and even the killings– by the maniacal should not be responded to with hysteria when it comes to policy. And the point of this “American Psycho” was surely to create Jewish hysteria and a subsequent backlash. He wasn’t stupid, and he wanted to cause far more harm to The Jews than murdering their security guards. So please…don’t overreact. That is exactly why he gave his life in the hope that the Jews would take the bait.

If a movement, business, or individual targeting you wants to shoot themselves in the foot for all to see, don’t try to deny them their civil liberties.

Just take a picture, and show it around.

Take a deep breath. Think before you join a campaign that will incur resentment.

A Jewish led campaign that limits civil liberties and attacks gun rights is exactly what this man wanted.

Don’t give it to him. Make him die in vain. Don’t hit back.

The Forward has the story. March of the Living is facing some significant rabbinical resistance.

They have their own reasons, of course, and they are different from those of us on the Left. But the tide is turning. One of the reasons offered is that it is the victimology of the wealthy.

Aviner claims that the fact the trips cost several hundred dollars, even taking scholarships into account, excludes all but the wealthiest of youngsters…

Those who want the Holocaust to continue to dominate Jewish life should see the writing on the wall. Abandon your unreasonable demands, and stop acting in the name of the Jewish community. Alternatively, you will be designating ever-increasing swaths of the Jewish community as “self-hating Jews.”

See where that gets you.

But do normal periodicals allow their editor/judge to award their own writing for “Honorable Mention,” or is, by chance, Heeb the only one that allows such “inclusive” rules for a contest?

Anyway, please congratulate Jewdar on having received an “honorable mention” from, well, Jewdar, on his FAKE Holocaust Memoir submission.

In, “When Rebbes Fled and Followers were Slaughtered like Sheep,” Failed Messiah notes the current controversy over publication detailing how certain Chassidic Rebbes demanded that their flock remain in the path of the Nazi death machine, even as they themselves fled.

I would, of course, remind everyone that we are not fit to question those great rabbis who may have understood that their flock was too spiritually fragile to risk leaving the holy lands of Poland and Hungary for the apparently insufficiently Jewish land, of say, Israel.

Some would do just that, however, such as posters the likes of “Critical Minyan,” who explained,

finally i understand why the chasidim of europe were not saved. they only pray to God through their rebbe. he is their special interceder. unfortunately, instead of interceding on their behalf in the heavens above, the Rebbes were making for the border leaving their flocks to perish.
i can hear the conversation now that the rebbes were having with god, it is the opposite of the one god had with abraham.

“God, how many of my followers do i have to give you to save my own skin”?

“80%?”

“can you do 75%? no? Ok, 80% it is. get me the fuck out of here!”
