WALLABIES flanker David Pocock stressed homophobia is akin to racism and “not acceptable” in sport after twice reporting homophobic slurs by Waratahs players to the referee in NSW’s victory over the Brumbies…
In the final stages of a heated match between the two rivals, Pocock approached referee Craig Joubert in the 67th and 72nd minutes and expressed his concerns about homophobic slurs being made by Waratahs players…
Pocock, who is an outspoken advocate on marriage equality and social justice, said last night he wasn’t attempting to single out any Waratahs players but merely drawing a line in the sand.
When I grew up at Avondale College in Australia, we had to make three homophobic slurs before we could have breckie.

Shalom Pollack writes: It was a very embarrassing day for the pollsters and the media talking heads. No one predicted anything close to what actually happened on election night, March 17,2015. It will be studied and referred to by analysts for a long time to come.
Since elections were announced three months ago, the media, academia and entertainment class pooled their efforts to unseat their hated nemesis. prime minister Netanyahu. It was simply and unabashedly a “just not Bibi” campaign.
President Obama sent his trusted advisers and lots of tax payer money to oil the anti Bibi machine. Thousands were hired to knock on doors to get out the “just not Bibi” vote.
The Israeli Arab population ( lately they prefer to be called “Palestinians”) were their key target. This year, for the first time, three Arab parties consolidated to form the “Joint List”. The ardent “volunteers” urged the Arabs to get out and vote as the “United List” would hopefully block a right wing/Bibi coalition..
I must say, like many right wing voters, I was really concerned that the atmosphere created by the opinion maker elites would indeed grease the wheels for an Arab/Left government. Israelis were fed by the “elites” three months of doom and despair and the personal dehumanization of Bibi and his wife. Now, I am not a blind fan of Bibi but, hey, if Obama and the Left/Arabs want to destroy him, he must be doing something right.
When it looked like a sure victory for the Arabs/Left was just hours away, Bibi yelled “Gevald!”. Hours before the polls closed, he warned that the Arabs were storming the polls in droves. In a moment of urgency, the politically correct mask came off. The Jewish, if not the Israeli state was in real danger. Apparently this revelation was enough of a wake up call for lots of now very concerned Jews.
So, what was predicted as a clear Left lead over the Likud, turned out to be the opposite. Thelikud surged ahead of the left despite Obama’s advisers and money. There is an old Yiddish expression,”der mentch tracht und Gott lacht”(Man plans and God laughs). The wisest of men, King Solomon wrote in Proverbs: The hearts of kings are in the Hand of God” . In 1996 when Shimon Peres called early elections and ran against Netanyahu,a similar thing happened. The Arab/Left bloc was, according to the experts, supposed to beat Bibi hands down. After their early victory announcement Peres and Israel woke the next morning up to a slim Bibi victory.
When a stunned Peres was asked, “who lost this election? he answered, “The Israelis”. He was then asked , “and who won”? He answered, “the Jews”. Is there anything more revealing in this honest expression of a stunned loser?
Rabbi Philip Lefkowitz writes: The issue of why the press does not explore the elements within Islam that give rise to terrorism and beheading was brought to the fore recently by conservative commentator Bernie Goldberg. He stated that were he to have been a reporter in the time of the Spanish Inquisition, he would have written extensively on what elements in Roman Catholicism give rise to the barbarism of the Catholic clergy.
Let me hasten to add, when one speaks of barbarism exhibited by a religious community, when considering torture and horrid means of inflicting death upon another in the name of religion, I would suggest that Torquemada could give lessons to ISIS on the subject.
His answer to this dilemma, the rationale for the media not to inquire, was the general left of center view held by most reporters, that Muslims have been the recipients of cruelty and discrimination visited upon them by Western civilization and therefore they have to be pitied for their suffering, which somewhat justifies the actions of the more militant elements of that religion.
I wholeheartedly disagree with Bernie. That which ultimately fortifies the barbarism of both Christianity and Islam against each other and the Jewish people in particular is a singular foundational element of their theology which they share – they are both “universal churches” – both faiths believe they are the true word of G-d to the exclusion of all other religions. It is this commonality of belief which must be addressed, one which Christendom in all its manifestations refuses to admit. Even the most left-wing of the media, is not willing to take on this reality, that of asking the Christian world to take a good look into the face of the Muslim terrorist and realize that behind that scarf is their own face.
While many in the Jewish community hailed Nostra Atatae issued by Pope Paul VI on October 28, 1965 as a new beginning for Catholic-Jewish relations, this document never stepped back from Catholicism’s belief in Replacement Theology- the Church is the new Jewish People. “True, the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ ;(13) still, what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today. Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this followed from the Holy Scriptures. All should see to it, then, that in catechetical work or in the preaching of the word of God they do not teach anything that does not conform to the truth of the Gospel and the spirit of Christ.”
As for Islam, an honest expositor of Islam, a former attorney in the United Kingdom, Anjem Choudary, has continuously given voice to the true belief of Islam as a universal church. “Look, at the end of the day innocent people—when we say ‘innocent people’ we mean Muslims—as far as non-Muslims are concerned they have not accepted Islam and as far as we are concerned that is a crime against God.
What we are left to consider then is, why Christians no longer resort to torture and murder in propagating their faith, relying upon missionary efforts instead, while Islam continues to do so. The answer would seem to be the difference between Western society and the societies of the Middle East.

J. Philippe Rushton gave this talk at the 1998 American Renaissance conference. He discussed the Bnai Menashe, a group in Indian who claim to be Jews and have the Right of Return to Israel.
ROSENBAUM: The 500 Bene Menashe in Kiryat Arba have cast aside most of their old rituals, and taken on a more mainstream approach to Judaism. They dress much like the other orthodox Jewish settlers; women in long skirts, and men in skullcaps, known as a kippahs. But Rabbi Gangte says the community still struggles to find acceptance in Israel.
GANGTE: Every time we go somewhere new we have to deal with a lot of silly and stupid questions ‘Where are you from, Indonesia? Thailand? Are you Jewish? Why do you have that kippah? Do you know what being Jewish is? Are you a convert? Are you related to Bruce Lee?’ It’s crazy.
ROSENBAUM: He says there’s growing resentment in the community.
GANGTE: When you come here people view you on a different spectrum, as someone trying to escape their poverty in India, so it hurts us a lot, and there’s a lot of anger among my community. A lot of people try to suppress that and on Yom Kippur it really comes out, when you ask for forgiveness and atone for your sins. A lot of people do remember these things.
ROSENBAUM: There are about 1,400 Bene Menashe Jews in Israel and most of them live on settlements. They’ve come under fire from politicians who want to return the occupied territories to the Palestinians.
GANGTE: The settlers offered us to live here because they’re often looking to strengthen their settlements. That’s one of the reasons. The second reason is economically it makes more sense, because it’s much cheaper to live out here. The Indian rupee is not very strong, so even if we come with a lot of money, when we convert it into Israeli shekels we only get about one tenth of what we had. So most of us can’t afford to live in the big cities.
ROSENBAUM: About 7,000 Bnei Menashe still in India want to settle in Israel. The government acknowledges that they’re of Jewish descent, but it doesn’t class them as Jewish. This means that they can’t become Israelis under the right of return law, which give citizenship to anyone who can prove they’re Jewish.
Most of the Bene Menashe in Israel have got around the problem by converting formally to Judaism. Yair Lotjem, who works as a cleaner in Kiryat Arba, hopes Israel’s government will help the Bnei Menashe to immigrate.
LOTJEM: I still have family in India and one of the main reasons I’m still working is so that I can bring them over here. I want to bring them over here even if the government can’t help me. The community here is lobbying to bring to Bene Menashe. I hope it succeeds.
Phil Rushton: “If 1.5 million Indians [Bnai Menashe] decide to go to Israel, this would provide a major problem of absorption. Lost Tribes are now springing up in South Africa, Ethiopia and many other places because Israel’s standard of living is rising to the levels of other European peoples and third world peoples want to come in.”
Question: “How do you explain the dysgenic practice of our own kind? How can people behave in such a suicidal manner?”
Rushton: “We have evolved to follow the leader. We want to be liked and we don’t want to be disliked. We live in social groups. We’re a social animal. We learn many of our social attitudes. We want to do what is good and right and we don’t really know always what is good and right. So we look at people who are genetically similar to ourselves, people who look like Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton…the TV anchorman… We look at these people and say, there’s somebody who looks like me and he’s telling me such and such. That’s powerful. It’s difficult for us to tell our leaders, that’s BS. That’s nonsense.
“When we also hear from the other sources of importance, the media, the pulpit, the schools, our peer group, the same story, it is difficult to say no. For the majority of people, what is right and wrong is what their neighbors are doing.”
“If Hitler comes to power and says go to wars, then Germans being good followers, all go to war. If the leaders say, practice democracy and let many immigrants in, then the Germans, being good followers, practice democracy and let the foreigners in.”
“The Japanese are doing half of what we’re doing. They’re not having any children. China had a one-child policy. They are not behaving in a simple socio-biological maximizing process of having trillions of children and taking over the world.”
“These pathological ideas come and go.”
David Duke: “Do you have any ideas on how to trigger that ethnic identification?”
Rushton: “Joseph Goebbels had complete control of the media in Germany and the German birth rate shot up and German nationalism shot up and ethnic solidarity increased and out-group hatred increased. The reason was because of the images displayed. If you saw today on television, which I am sure you will not, lots and lots of nice blue-eyed blonde babies being born and women who had lots of these babies being happy having babies and wanting to stay at home and not to work, then you would increase the number of women who would want to have babies and stay at home. If the media showed attractive people standing up to drive the drug dealers out of their neighborhood and to not care what race they were, then I think many more people in suburban neighborhoods would rally together to drive out the alien drug dealers. And so what you see on TV portrayed by role models who look like you… Advertisers know this. Politicians know this. If you are running for Congress, you get black workers to go knock on black neighborhoods. You get Hispanic voters to knock on Hispanic doors… We know the ethnic person you are interacting helps sell the product. People trust someone who looks like their cousin more than someone who looks different, on average.”
On another topic, Rushton says: “As to why the Palestinian people are fighting and why they are having so many children, I don’t think it has anything to do with evolutionary selection pressures quite so much as the kind of social learning… All of live in a peer group… What they think is what’s important.”
“The difference between German Protestants and Italian Catholics is the peer groups… Italians still live in peer groups where being an Italian and a Catholic is still important to the family while to German Protestants, it is not even important to the grandparents.”
On another topic, Rushton said: “Why do men rape the women of out-groups? Evolution. Ducks do it. Chimpanzees do it. If you can kill the males of the rival group and impregnate their female, you will replicate your genes more effectively. Rape is an evolved strategy.”
Chaim Amalek writes: Speaking of images on advertising and its power, whites will never even begin to recover their bearings until they understand the power of collective action, e.g., begin boycotting the sponsors of programs that offend them, either through the content of the programs or the ads being run. Corporate America has a deep dread of the White Boycott and will do anything to crush it, but in the end will yield. Because they value money above all other things. GOYIM! In these words I am the Jewish Prometheus, providing you Goyim with the gift of political fire.
GOYIM! Be intelligent about how you use this gift or you will get burned. Target ads that seek to mock or diminish Fathers and Fatherhood and you accomplish much without showing your hand.
Whenever I try to give advice to a goy on how to survive in a multicultural world, I feel as though I am lecturing to small children who have yet to learn to read. Perhaps what the gentile needs is to have this explained in terms that his debased self can understand: comic books, video games, pornography.
It may be that the goy just does not have the brainpower to figure these things out on his own.
“My greatest thrill is that Netanyahu was able to pull off a feat that in my opinion was not only good for the morale of Israel and the security of Israel, but finally put Obama in his place,” said Rabbi Shoham.
What is the American president’s place? As the servant of Israel?
He said that he saw Israel was becoming more isolated internationally, but that he was not terribly troubled by it because of what he said was a basic Jewish principle: “Being more or less in control of your own self, your own country, or your own being is much more important than being loved by others.”
Last week The Ryersonian reported on an incident that involved two first-year journalism students who were turned away from an event organized by Racialized Students’ Collective because they are white. Since then there has been a lot of commentary on the piece and a lot of debate — a lot of the criticism is valid.
There are two sides to the story: 1) the media has a right to attend public events and report on matters that are in the public interest. The student media needs to cover initiatives that are happening on campus so that we draw attention to them and in turn create awareness (The Ryersonian reported that one student said he was covering the meeting for an assignment). 2) Marginalized groups have a right to claim spaces in the public realm where they can share stories about the discrimination they have faced without judgment and intrusion from anyone else.
I am a person of colour and a journalist and so there are two conflicting voices inside my head. But in this case one voice, that of a person of colour, is louder and my conscience does not allow me to be impartial. I have to take a side.
The organizers of the event, the Racialized Students’ Collective, should have done a better job of labelling this event as a safe space on the Ryerson Students’ Union online calendar. They should label safe spaces clearly and maybe even host events that educate the public on what they mean. Doing so will help the public and the media have a better understanding of the purpose and value of these spaces.
However, the point to note is not that two white students were asked to leave the event, but rather that this was a safe space and that we as a newsroom, as a campus and as a society are not as knowledgeable as we should be about what these spaces mean.
It’s not just important, but it’s essential, for marginalized groups to have safe spaces on campus to engage with people who understand what they go through. Though this group is funded by Ryerson’s student union, it works to serve a particular group and a particular purpose. Many students at Ryerson have encountered racism in their life that is impossible to forget and many are exposed to discrimination on a daily basis. This group and these sort of events allow people of colour to lay bare their experiences and to collectively combat this societal ailment. These spaces are rare places in the world not controlled by individuals who have power, who have privilege.

Chaim Amalek writes: “I’ve been saving up my desire to learn torah for an entire week! I’m sitting in a comfortable chair, a chumash in one hand, mouse in another. WHEN DOES IT START? I’m about to bust a mitzvah waiting.”
Luke: “The Jewess is slow off the mark. She’s been cleaning.”
Chaim: “Tell her that her tardiness is a posthumous victory for Hitler. She has over a week to clean up for Pesach. Worry about the bread crumbs later.”
A new yeshiva student told his wife he was too busy to take out the garbage. She got upset. They went to see Rabbi Mordecai Gifter. The rabbi agreed the student was too busy to carry out the trash. The wife was miffed. The next morning at 7am, the doorbell rings at the home of the couple. Rabbi Gifter is there wearing white gloves. “What are you doing here?” asked the student. “I am here to carry out the trash,” said Rabbi Gifter. “I know you’re too busy to do it but I’m not.”
* “The fire on the altar must be kept burning at all times.” Orthodox Judaism is the burning core of the Jewish people.
* The Torah commands the priests what type of pants they should wear. What we wear is important because if affects us and it affects others. The more religious the Jew, the more likely they are to dress distinctively. On the Sabbath and Jewish holidays, Jews are commanded to dress their best. In Reform and Conservative synagogues, Yom Kippur services are fashion shows.
* Priests have to eat all of these offerings. That’s a lot of meat. I’m glad I’m not a priest.
* If anyone eats flesh from the peace-offering while he is in a state of contamination, his soul shall be cut off from his people (Lev. 7:20). Judaism is excellent at policing group boundaries and stating what is unacceptable. We perfected shunning.
“The holy meat of the offerings must be eaten by ritually pure persons, in their designated holy place and within their specified time.”
It is challenging to attach to holy people because they tend to demand holy behavior in turn. Many broken people, such as myself, feel drawn to Orthodox Judaism to fix the hole in our souls. We want to attach to holy people and yet many of us want to keep doing our sins. If you want to attach to the holy, you have to stop sinning publicly. There’s a price for every attachment. Attaching to holy people carries a stiff price. I’ve found a balance, I think, whereby I attach lightly to holy people, but not so tightly that I can’t be myself.
The novelist Chaim Potok, a Conservative rabbi, declined a private audience with the Lubavitcher Rebbe because he feared it would shift his writing in a direction he did not want. He did not want to get too close to holiness, yet he often attended the rebbe’s talks.
If you want to practice Orthodox Judaism and you ask Orthodox Jews for help, most Orthodox Jews are not interested in helping you. Those who are interested in helping you, the kiruv factory, usually have demands that come along with their help. So either you follow these demands or they drop you. Another alternative is to progress at your own speed, not asking for much help, because then fewer demands can be made upon you.
I’m speaking from personal experience. For the years I was writing on the porn industry, whenever I stepped into an Orthodox shul, I felt like a whore walking into a church.
I had a friend from the dark side, Khunrum, who would advise me: “Levi, leave these good people alone.”
It’s fine if you are in a state of contamination, just don’t touch the peace offering.
Oh life, it’s bigger
It’s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I’ve said enough
* Chabad: “Ohaliev was from the tribe of Dan, of the lowest of the tribes… Betzalel was from one of the greatest of the tribes.” Is low and great referring to high average IQ?
* Let me abos go loose, Lew
Let me abos go loose
They’re of no further use, Lew
So let me abos go loose
Altogether now!
Chaim Amalek: “I say if you place a thousand abos in the Ramaz school here in New York from preschool to adulthood, you will end up with a lot of very successful abos.”
* Chaim Amalek: “Is it a mitzvah for a Jew to try to save the white race from racial and or moral dissolution? Because if it is, then you are a true tzaddik and possibly the Gadol Hador the goyim have long needed.”
* If you just follow the cues and go along, it is easy to be Jewish or to be Japanese or to belong to any closely identifying in-group. If you want to be a rebel, then life will get very difficult for you and you may end up on the outs, which is no fun.
Often I hear from women who want to convert to Orthodox Judaism, and usually they just want to vent about how hard it is and how the rabbis are not being supportive and how the process is not spiritual.
* “Aaron and his sons remain within the Sanctuary compound for seven days, during which Moses initiates them into the priesthood.” The more religious the Jew, the more likely he is to be pale and to not get much sun. I remember going to LimmudLA and we stayed inside for three days learning and eating.
* This parasha sounds like a lot of work. I’m not really a worker, unless I’m excited about something and getting narcissistic supply for my efforts. In general, I prefer to lie around on tropical beaches sipping cold calorie-free drinks while having lotion rubbed on me by spunky sheilas.
* How I would love to see the mosque on the Temple Mount blow up so we could rebuild the Third Temple and sacrifice to God again. The more strongly I identify as a Jew, the less I care about out-groups. I have little empathy for the Muslims and their mosque, so I don’t expect them to have any empathy for my group.
* I heard a story about a Muslim woman in full Muslim regalia so that only her eyes showed marched up to some rabbis at a food show and demanded, “What do you think about me?” One rabbi said, “Are you a threat? If you are not threat, I have no problem with you and I respect your commitment to holiness.” The Muslim hung around for an hour interrogating the rabbis in an aggressive manner. Of course what any healthy non-Muslim in this situation would think is, “I wish you and your kind would drop dead” but it is more politic to give other responses.
Different groups have different interests. The interests of Jews and Muslims frequently clash. A healthy Muslim is going to have negative feelings about Jews and vice versa (chiefly because of Israel).
* I know this is crime-thought, but the elaborate ceremonies in the parasha reminds me of the coronation of Kings and Queens at Westminster Abbey in England, the Haj in Mecca, the Japanese tea ceremony, and the Nuremburg Rallies (made famous by the film Triumph of the Will). Wikipedia: “After 1933, the rallies took place near the time of the Autumn equinox, under the title of “The German people’s National Party days,” which was intended to symbolize the solidarity between the German people and the Nazi Party. This point was further emphasized by the yearly growing number of participants, which finally reached over half a million from all sections of the party, the army and the state.”
Peoples use rituals to strengthen their in-group identity.
* Does a healthy society need to control its media as much as Joseph Goebbels did in Nazi Germany?
Phil Rushton: “Joseph Goebbels had complete control of the media in Germany and the German birth rate shot up and German nationalism shot up and ethnic solidarity increased and out-group hatred increased. The reason was because of the images displayed. If you saw today on television, which I am sure you will not, lots and lots of nice blue-eyed blonde babies being born and women who had lots of these babies being happy having babies and wanting to stay at home and not to work, then you would increase the number of women who would want to have babies and stay at home.

* Every week I trade work with a Network Spinal Analysis practicioner. I find the work invaluable. He told me last night, “Trust your passion.” I started letting go of unnecessary tension and my breath freed up and I got a ton of release, just from those three words. I heartily recommend NSA to anyone. I can’t explained what it is, but it seems amazing. My best explanation is that since I started going about six months ago, I’ve found my spine. I am much more fierce in pursuing what I believe in. I’m less of a wimp.
* Chaim Amalek: “Remember AMALEK’S rules: 1. the screen should be filled with HER face, not yours, and especially not your nose; 2. don’t talk about rape with her as though it were a normal, healthy activity for a man to want to do. It skeeves out most pretty fertile women; 3. your goal should be to get her to speak as much as possible. 4. try not to come across as in awe of her youthful vitality. 5. Remember, somewhere out there is a menopausal woman who would be perfect for you…..in about 30 years.”
My cohost assures me that she is “pure, very pure, shomer negiyah.”

How much money could I make if I live cammed in frum outfits while studying Torah? It would be a Yiddish version of slow TV.

Tim posts to Youtube: 98% of white nationalists are also proles; they need proper direction, but sadly they will never accept the Jews, which is retarded (Jews cluster with whites just fine).
I don’t think it’s fair to say that it’s the Jew’s fault in the decline of Western civilization. Rather, I think the enlightenment ideas (which were largely inspired by the French enlightenment) combined with universalistic religions and Randian individualism, are much more plausible to the fall – though even that’s just shorthand. Yes, there may be a small Jewish influence (like Irish Catholics), but it’s not the main driver.
Also, the technological advances which gave arise to mass transportation, also is a big factor, though I know some may say that’s a rather Marxist way of thinking (tech. = driving force in societal change).
Either way, when the structure of a society is built on these pillars, the results are going to be anti-traditional…
The Jews have high avg. IQ distribution and social cohesion, which is why they are so prominent in high power positions, being an extreme minority.
The problem: Jews who are often secular (aren’t Orthodox) and embrace liberalism, egalitarianism, progressive science, etc. are dangerous, not because of their Jewishness, but their absence of morality, denial of beauty, etc.; this however is universal to all people who adopt Leftism, but it’s the Jewish biological superiority and group cohesiveness which makes them easy targets (out of envy). I would argue that open borders Irish Catholics are just as dangerous, yet no one blames them; though ultimately, it’s not really about blaming entire groups, rather certain group tendencies, universalism, etc.
