The West
What does it say about Western weakness that they allow emigres to take over their culture? Jews would never allow gentiles to control culture and media in the Jewish state. I found the documentary Hollywoodism painful to watch. For Orthodox … Continue reading
If Jews Can’t Travel To Many Muslim Countries, Why Should Western Countries Allow In Muslims?
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. It does not terribly bother me that Jews aren’t welcome in Saudi Arabia and about 15 other Muslim countries. We Jews should return the favor to Muslims and advocate restrictions … Continue reading
Jews & Germans
American Jewish historian Peter Novick writes in his book The Holocaust in American Life: Just as Jewish groups’ principled declarations against totalitarianism did not prevent them from seeking entry for Jews who had been Communists, so the Christian groups’ equally … Continue reading
Jewish Group Vow to Destroy Future Careers of Campus Anti-Israel Activists
I think it would be weird if Jews did not organize to hurt the careers of people dedicated to hurting them. Robert Lindsay writes: Looks like Jews have set up a new organization called the Canary Mission to uncover campus … Continue reading
David Bernstein: “Mondoweiss” is a hate site
Anyone who hurls slurs like “hate site” immediately loses the argument. Once you call your opponent a Nazi (when that is not accurate), you lose, and this is effectively what David Bernstein is doing here. People who use the slur … Continue reading

In the aftermath of reading The Israeli Mind by Alon Gratch, I watch the 2015 movie True Story. Twenty three minutes in, the protagonist, disgraced New York Times journalist Mike Finkel, says he doesn’t know why he invented stuff. Watching … Continue reading
Jews & Whites
Comments to Steve Sailer: * I think you have to distinguish between hatred of white nationalists and hatred of white people in general. Your average Scardsale orthodontist doesn’t have much dislike of the WASP family next door, but would get … Continue reading
The Holocaust in American Life
Why does the Holocaust play such a large role in American life? And is that a good thing? American Jewish historian Peter Novick writes in his book The Holocaust in American Life: …Serb’s central memory, the lost Battle of Kosovo … Continue reading
Steve Sailer: People Who Think They Are Not White: Rabbi Tells Jews to Cut Up Their White Privilege Cards
Steve Sailer writes: Individuals respond to incentives, so it’s not surprising to observe an ongoing Flight from White currently. This is in contrast to the Flight Toward White in the mid-20th Century. For example, the Census Bureau didn’t separately count … Continue reading
Jewish Intensity As A Weapon For Defending Jewish Interests
Karin Friedman is Jewish but not a Zionist. I have mixed feelings about what she writes. Narrowed vision and emotional intensity can be helpful in war and Jews have good reasons for thinking they are constantly at war. Seeing both … Continue reading
