* It’s interesting to think of this election as a fight between diaspora Jews and Israeli Jews.
Diaspora Jews benefit from multikult, globalism and open societies. They don’t mind allying with Muslims in Western countries to promote liberalism.
Israeli Jews benefit from homogenous nation states in Europe and America, with Islamophobic populations, because that usually translates into support for Israel.
Wonder if the underlying explanation for most world events is that Soros and Karl Popper are on the diaspora side, while Netanyahu et al are on the Zionist side.
* It’s not really a fight “between” them. Rather, they are fighting on different fronts.
* Whatever “hacking” may or may not have happened during the election campaign to help Trump may have actually been done by the Mossad using Russian aliases.
* Trump has been compared to Mussolini, Putin and Hitler.. but I think the relevant comparison is to Peter the Great, a figure of titanic energy. Like Peter, he can arrange for his wife and then daughter to succeed him. This would be wrong if Bill Clinton did it, but when the God Emperor does it, it is exemplary.
As befits a construction ultra-magnate, why stop at measly skyscrapers? The Donald should and will build entire cities ennobled with his name. So we will have St. Donaldsburg in Western Russia, Donaldabad in Pakistan; Volgograd will be renamed Donaldgrad, Washington will be renamed TrumpCity; why stick to the narrow world which he doth bestride like a colossus? The Trump Luna will be the go-to (and only) resort of choice in the Solar System.
And that wall.. that big, beautiful WALL… Will make Shih-Huang-Ti look like Hadrian in comparison. You will be able to see it from the moon, preferably with those 25-cent telescopes in the Trump Luna.
An age of Immeasurable Peace and Prosperity is upon us!
* I know ‘I and my brother against my cousin’ and so on, but the countervailing force is the long history of conflicts most countries have with their neighbors. The Brits hate the French, the French hate the Brits and the Germans, the Poles hate the Germans and the Russians, the Chinese and the Japanese hate each other, and so on. India is friends with Israel despite the lack of any kind of a civilizational commonality because they both hate Islam.
* *Back when the Shah was still in charge the Iranians and the Israelis had good relations.*
Yes because the Shah was much like a Polish king: surrounded by Jewish secret police, Jewish political advisors, Jewish merchant class.
Most of these Jews magically emigrated to California after the Shah was deposed (with the loot).
* Perhaps Trump is seen as dangerous to American Jews in part because he threatens to combine foreign policy support for Israel with nationalist resistance to globalism, immigration and pc, which is basically saying resistance to American Jewry.
Considering a Trump Administration represents an immediate and dramatic improvement in ties with Israel and a hawkish stance toward its avowed enemy Iran, the uniform Jewish opposition to Trump either means Jews really, really hate us or really, really love globalism, immigration and pc. But then, I’m not sure that isn’t just two ways of saying the same thing.
* Reminds me of Apartheid-era South Africa. Diaspora Jews in SA were greatly over-represented amongst those who wanted to create a multikult/open society there while the Jews of Israel stood by SA through thick and thin even when most other countries had abandoned them.
* Bibi threw Trump under the bus during the campaign. Israeli Jewry does nothing to counter their BFFs (despite its humorous connotations, that is not a throwaway word; it describes the relationship literally) in diaspora Jewry, who are the #1 adversary of European ethnopatriots. You need a slide rule, or something? If someone comes by your house and sets it on fire every day, and his best friend watches him do it every time, his best friend is certainly no friend of yours.
Okay, let me extend my analogy: the guy who burns your house every day does it because you are an aspiring ethnopatriot, and he hates your sort of ethnopatriot. But his best friend is the most prominent ethnopatriot in the neighborhood; he’s just the right sort of ethnopatriot.
It’s like if you were trying to start a union, and the world’s biggest union-buster was kicking your ass every day for trying to start a union, but there’s his best friend, head of the world’s biggest union, right beside him. Yeah, best friend guy is making it pretty clear you’re chopped liver.
All of the counter-arguments to this consist of stuff like “yeah but the best friend has a hairy chest, just like you do!”
* Desert peoples often have long noses for humidifying air on the way in. People from the humid tropics tend to have flat nose because they don’t need to do that.
