* This is how deep the paranoia goes – a jew comes on to discuss the JQ, and is disliked and harassed in the comments section. He literally agrees with 90% of Alt-Right thought and you fucking autistic hitler worshippers can’t handle a self-aware sympathetic jew.

If your contribution is nothing more than vitriol, you should not contribute. Fume in your basement but stop making the alt-right in general look bad. Our entire race is dying off and it’s going to take much more diplomacy and intelligence than ‘the entire rat-like race of lying scammers needs to be exterminated’ and other shit like that.

* She’s white, guys. End of story. If you want to discredit her, that’s your prerogative, but she is very bold about publicly discussing topics that most of us only discuss from anonymous internet profiles.

REACTIONARY JEW WRITES:

Transfer is the most humane solution (and some clarifications)

Transfer or repatriation is seen as the most evil thing one could propose. I advocated just that on a recent interview, but I did not qualify it enough. It’s not an inherent problem to have minorities in one’s country. We have minorities in Israel who are loyal and even proud to belong to their host nation, such as the Druze and Bahai. I have no intention of kicking them out. There is even a segment of Israeli Arabs who feel some level of allegiance to their host country, and varying allowances and arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis, for Christians, who don’t have an inherent theological conflict with us, and also for Muslims who are willing to put aside national aspirations. There is no need to expel every last one.

Countries don’t have to be 100% homogenous. The Jewish religion also makes allowances for friendly minorities who lives among Jews, and commands us to treat them with respect and kindness (ger toshav). However, this cannot apply to someone who is openly hostile to his hosts, feels some national claim to our land, and is willing to use diplomatic or violent means to dispossess us or display aggression, or to someone who is willing to stand in solidarity with those who do. In that case, they are enemy combatants, and have openly identified as such. Realistically, most Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza, along with many Israeli citizens, fall under this category, and we would be doing them and us a favor by resettling them rather than the conventional course of action against a wartime enemy population.

Ben Shapiro, of all people, made a similar case based on the morality of continued proximity of hostile populations leading to more violence and bloodshed in the long run. (He makes a good case, but I don’t think he realizes the parallels with European countries where migrant populations commit terrorism, gang rapes, and cause unrest.)

If Jews are allowed to resettle Palestinians across the Jordan River (or somewhere else in the region), there is no moral reason that the British, French, or Germans should not be able to do the same for the minorities in their countries. The analogues vary merely in details and degree. No one wants a violent and hostile outgroup living among them, and there is no reason they should be forced to tolerate it against their own interests, when there are safe and peaceful options on the table.

Daniel Friberg made the case in a European context, that transfer can be done in an ethical, humane way, with a peaceful five step program, involving incentives, handling crime, working with other governments, etc. Obviously, this would have to be adjusted for a situation like Israel, and may vary on a case-by-case basis depending on the European country and its immigrant population, but the point remains that this does not have to be done by killing people.

The primary obstacle, by far, above all else is political will of the dominant majority. If every white British or Swedish person woke up tomorrow and said, “these people have to go,” the how part would be very easy. However, the left in both Israel and Western Europe will fight to the death not to let it happen. By doing so, they are setting the stage for violence and conflict far worse than what they hope to prevent in the short term by thwarting these attempts. Western Europe has the potential to descend into civil war, and cities with major immigrant populations are already hotbeds of ethnic strife and street violence, where native Europeans are either not welcome, or fear for their safety.

This is one area where I see real potential for international collaboration with European nationalists. Kevin MacDonald has called for a similar deal between the Israeli and European far right.

Kevin Shenkman is a key member of the Coalition of the Fringe vs the white Christian core of this country.

If this Jewish guy loves diversity so much, why doesn’t he live on Martin Luther King Blvd? Why does he live in Malibu? He chooses to live among white people but wants everyone else to suffer from diversity.

Los Angeles Times:

Shenkman first came to my attention last week because he was the subject of a meandering profile on the Breitbart website, “the platform for the alt-right,” as its former executive chairman Steve Bannon so memorably described it. I like to read Breitbart to keep an eye on how the far right filters the news.

I got a chuckle out of the original headline, which has since been changed: “Meet the Malibu Lawyer Playing the Race Card — and Making Millions — All Over California.”

With loaded language like that, imagine my surprise when the first paragraph praised Shenkman as “one of the most prolific and successful civil rights lawyers of his generation.”

Of course, this being Breitbart, there was also a line about how some consider Shenkman “a villain, a do-gooder from Malibu who is creating racial divisions where they do not exist.”

Shenkman, a father of four girls, said he didn’t mind the story but was taken aback by some of the anti-Semitic comments from Breitbart readers. “I’m Jewish,” he said, “and there were a number of comments like, ‘Look at his last name, that explains it all.’”

When it comes to civil rights activists, this kind of garbage goes with the territory.

Why is it garbage to notice patterns that Jews in the diaspora tend to side with the Coalition of the Fringe?

From Breitbart:

Kevin Shenkman: Ending Democracy as We Know It in Southern California?

Kevin Shenkman could be described as one of the most prolific and successful civil rights lawyers of his generation, after almost single-handedly pushing dozens of Southern California communities to change their election systems under the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (CVRA) over the past few years.
To many in those communities, however, Shenkman is a villain, a do-gooder from Malibu who is creating racial divisions where they do not exist — and making millions in the process.

He is, according to local podcaster Stephen Daniels, “the most hated man in Santa Clarita.” And he is “hated” there — and elsewhere — because he wins.

Shenkman scored his latest victory last Wednesday evening, when the Oceanside City Council voted 3-2 to approve a proposal to move from an at-large system, where every council member is elected by the voters as a whole, to a district system, where voters are only represented directly by one member, from a particular geographic area.

The change was prompted by a March 22 letter from Shenkman, claiming that the city’s at-large system prevented minority groups from winning elections, and warning of a lawsuit to follow.

Residents of Oceanside were shocked, and angry, at the charge. The city has had several Latino council members, including one who has served on the council for the last 16 years. It also recently had an African-American mayor…

Shenkman’s path to law, and voting rights, are rather unconventional. Today, he lives in Malibu, one of the wealthiest communities in the state, whose population is over 90% white. But as he told the Talk of Santa Clarita podcast in January, he grew up in the Detroit area. There, he said, he was a “bad kid,” committing “the occasional little criminal misdemeanor kinda thing, maybe the occasional felony that I never got caught for.” He had “some interaction with the justice system,” and formed a bond with his attorney, who inspired him to pursue a legal career.

Shenkman graduated from Rice University with a B.S. in mechanical engineering (which he describes as “completely useless”), and went to Columbia Law School. He is married, with four daughters. He told Talk of Santa Clarita that if he were still practicing patent law, “I would have shot myself by now,” calling it “mind-numbingly boring.”

Shenkman’s Facebook profile photo is an image of a giant metal fist: the Joe Louis monument in Detroit, Michigan. (His cover photo is the same image: “Fuck your FB rules,” he explains in a comment to a relative.) His timeline features a photograph of Trayvon Martin, the black teenager who was killed while fighting neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in Florida in 2012, who was later acquitted. He is a Democrat, and gave $1375 to the Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee in 2014, according to the Federal Elections Commission. He has also contributed to Democrats at the state and local levels, according to the California Secretary of State.

The public record also suggests that Shenkman has had a colorful career as a plaintiff’s attorney, filing class action suits on behalf of consumers — and sometimes acting as the plaintiff himself.

Currently, Shenkman and his law partner are plaintiffs in a class action suit filed last year against AutoZone, claiming that the auto parts dealer had not informed them that it was changing its rewards program so that a $20 credit on purchases over $20 would expire after one year. In 2014, he represented consumers in successful class action claims against restaurant chains that falsely advertised Kobe beef during a period when Japanese beef imports were banned.

In 2011, Shenkman personally filed a consumer class action suit against Chipotle Mexican Grill, claiming that employees had misled him into believing the restaurant’s pinto beans were vegetarian, when they are actually made with bacon. In his lawsuit, he cited his vegetarianism and Jewish faith (though Jewish dietary laws, which require that food be certified kosher by a rabbi, would not have permitted him to eat at Chipotle at all). That case was dismissed in 2015, more than four years later, according to court documents. He also reportedly sued the Chinese fast-food chain Panda Express, claiming it failed to disclose that it adds chicken powder to its vegetarian entrees.

That same year, he was the plaintiff — identified as an “avid runner” in media reports — in class action suits filed against coconut water companies Vita Coco and One World Enterprises, claiming they had exaggerated the hydration benefits of their products. Both cases were dismissed; court documents indicate that he accepted a token settlement of $2,000 in the Vida Coco case as part of a related nationwide class action settlement.

From Mondoweiss:

Alan Dershowitz gave a pep talk on Jewish influence to an orthodox audience in Scarsdale Tuesday night. It was his crowd, and he really is a rock star. The suburban lanes were filled with cars and older yarmulke-wearing Jews streaming toward the synagogue like Woodstock. We were half a million strong! Four hundred anyway, but Jews punch above their weight.

That was Dershowitz’s theme: We earned our influence in this country by contributing more to its success than others– so now use your influence!

Dershowitz held forth for 50 minutes before he had to sign books and head to CNN. The crowd was on their feet at beginning and end. Dershowitz started out with self-effacing humor. At his yeshiva in Brooklyn he was a terrible student. The head of the school said Dershowitz, what are we going to do with you. You have to find a job where you don’t have to think and you just run your mouth. You could be a lawyer. Or a conservative rabbi. The man couldn’t even say the word Reform, Dershowitz said. By his last year he was suing the school (for an arbitrary rule on who could apply for NY state scholarships; he won).

The news. Trump has a better chance of getting peace in the Middle East than Obama; Dershowitz got into the Israel defense racket because of Noam Chomsky; it’s getting harder and harder to defend Israel and Dershowitz is now blacklisted at campuses; Israel’s second and third-rate academics come to the U.S. and Europe to get jobs and sell themselves as anti-Zionist because people will hire a talking dog; Bernie Sanders is strange; the dissident human rights group Breaking the Silence is a small bunch of malcontents who lie about the Israeli army; and Jews should use Jewish power, from intellectual to financial, to punish those who criticize Israel.

The best quotes are about outsize Jewish influence and how we’re entitled to it because we made America great. #8 and #11 below. “We have to hit them in the pocketbook. Don’t ever ever be embarrassed about using Jewish power.”

1. It’s getting harder to support Israel.

Dershowitz didn’t start out as Israel’s lawyer, but then the left turned on Israel after the Six Day War. Early on, the left loved Israel because the Soviet Union was its supporter. Only Republicans didn’t like Israel, the State Department, Eisenhower, the oil men.

Israel was very easy to defend. Boy have things changed dramatically over the last 50 years…. The two people who got me engaged really deeply were the Reverend Daniel Berrigan– he was an unbelievable anti-Semite, a real bigot, he called Israel a criminal community of Jews, he said that Jews had to choose between supporting Israel and supporting civil liberties, he was an evil evil man [Read this to see the real Berrigan]–

And Noam Chomsky. I had befriended him, I had worked with him against the Vietnam war. And suddenly he’s turning against Israel. When the far left turned against Israel,
I would become… somebody who could make the liberal case for Israel. That has become harder and harder to do. The demographics are clear. Republicans now support Israel much more strongly than Democrats.

Dersh said Chomsky had been his camp counselor at Jewish camp as a boy.

2. The importance of the Israel lobby.

Israel must always remain a bipartisan issue. We never want to see Israel become a referendum issue in an election. Why? We could lose! … Who could have predicted the outcome of the last election. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Republican Jews have to keep the Buchanans out of that party, and Democrats have to defeat the Bernie Sanderses and Keith Ellisons. As for Ellison, “He thinks I’m the one who defeated his candidacy [for party chair]. I hope he’s right.” I wonder if that is true, or Dershowitzian BS.

3. Bernie Sanders.

The other day on al Jazeera Sanders made a strong case of defense for Israel. Sanders is a strange guy. It’s very hard to figure out what his politics are… He’s a decent man. His support for Israel is not deep and it’s opportunistic sometimes.

4. Third rate Israeli academics are flooding the world with anti-Zionism.

Some of the strongest anti Israel people at every university are Jews, and some of the most virulent and anti-Israel are Jewish Israelis.

It’s much harder to become a professor in Israel than in the U.S. because there are countless topflight minds over there, so a lot of the academics in Israel try to get jobs in Oslo, Poland, Paris, the midwest.

How do you get a job? How do you distinguish yourself? You become a talking dog. “The dog can talk?–oh we’ll hire any dog who can talk!” You become an Israel who is a virulent anti-Zionist. “That’s interesting! An Israeli who’s a virulent anti Zionist. That’s somebody to hire!” And so many of the second and third rate professors from Israel that come to American universities come as anti-Zionists.

The worst departments are Jewish and Israeli Studies. These are hotbeds of disaffected Israeli anti-Zionists, making “problems,” preaching against Israel.

That’s why Sheldon Adelson my dear friend, won’t fund professorships in Jewish studies.

5. Breaking the Silence are liars.

These are a couple of dozen hard left Israelis who went into the army reluctantly, picketed Israel when they were in the army, now come out of the army just lying through their teeth. Go on Youtube and you see a tape of members of Breaking the Silence lying and others… pointing out the lies.

This is very difficult. Facing Jews and Israelis who are so anti Israel that the students give them a lot of credibility and believe them. It’s a real tragedy.

6. Israel is superior.

There is no country in the world that has contributed more to the humanity in the first 69 years of its existence than the state of Israel. The world should be applauding Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s birthday, instead of regarding it as Nakma– Nakba, which the Palestinians inflicted on themselves by not accepting [partition].

7. Dershowitz is blacklisted for honorary degrees and commencement speeches.

It used to be that he got an honorary degree “at every major university and I spoke at every major graduation.”

Today no major university will have me speak at a graduation because I’m too pro Israel. That includes Brandeis.

Brandeis withdrew an invitation under pressure a few years ago and said, Don’t worry we’ll invite you back in a year or two, but it never happened. Dershowitz has lost out to that talking dog!

If you’re anti Israel again you’re like the talking dog and everybody wants you.

8. Jews need to use their financial power to punish Israel’s critics.

“If you divest from Israel, we divest from you,” Jews need to tell schools. So far, no university has ever divested from Israel.

That has to remain the rule. Anyone that does has to be treated with economic consequences. We have to hit them in the pocketbook. Don’t ever ever be embarrassed about using Jewish power. Jewish power, whether it be intellectual, academic, economic, political– in the interest of justice is the right thing to do.

Don’t listen to me, listen to God, Dershowitz said. Jews say a prayer that only after the Jewish people have strength will they get peace. And we are “entitled” to the power we have in the U.S.

People write a book called the Israel lobby and complain that AIPAC is one of the most powerful lobbies in Washington. My response to that is, that’s not good enough. We should be the most powerful lobby in Washington….

We are entitled to use our power. We have contributed disproportionately to the success of this country. We have done so much for this country. When you think of how much better this country has become since our grandparents and great grandparents took the risk of coming, here, we have not only the right we have the obligation to speak out, and use every piece, every bit of power available in support of Israel.

9. Trump has a better shot at peace than Obama because he’s got Israel’s back.

I’m not encouraged that we will see a full blown peace break out suddenly, but I do think the Trump administration is going to have better possibilities of peace than the Obama administration.

Dennis Ross explained it: when Israel knows it has America’s support, it takes risks for peace.

Obama got nothing because he deserved it…. I’m not encouraged but I do think this administration has a chance to bring the two sides closer together and to produce some tangible results.

10. Israel must stay “superior.”

I’m a very strong believer that peace should be tried as an option. We should try every option of peace before we have to resort to other forces, but the only way peace will be achieved, is if Israel remains qualitatively superior to all– all– its neighboring countries.

11. Here’s the finale. More Jewish influence.

Look, we are the most affluent successful generation of Jews anywhere in the world, that’s the good news. This is the best of times. It’s also the most dangerous of times…

I’m very encouraged about the future of Israel and strength of Israel. I’m very encouraged about the future of the American Jewish community. We are a very influential community. We deserve our influence. I hope all of you will participate in this great period of Jewish American, Jewish Israeli life, you have so much to contribute. Use what you’ve earned, use your influence to support Israel and support Jewish values.

Standing O. The orthodox pour out into the streets. It’s dark now in Scarsdale, but there’s throbbing thrilling Jewish pollen in the air.
