The Forward is doing more reporting and opining on the Alt Right than any other Jewish publication. Unfortunately, the quantity of their reports are rarely of quality.<\/p>\n
What could make for some quality writing is comparing Jewish nationalist movements with gentile nationalist movements<\/a>. Where are they similar? Where do they differ?<\/p>\n Forward.com<\/a>: The term \u201calt-right\u201d is a hipper-sounding version of the original notion of the \u201calternative right,\u201d which Paul Gottfried, a Jewish academic, coined in 2008.<\/p>\n In 2008, Paul Gottfried, a Jewish academic, created the term \u201calternative right.\u201d Today his notion \u2014 of a new home for conservatives who saw themselves as too extreme for the mainstream movement \u2014 has become the \u201calt-right,\u201d whose adherents include a range of racists, from white separatists to neo-Nazis. Here\u2019s a few facts about the Jew behind the coinage so cherished by anti-Semites…<\/p>\n Gottfried did his undergraduate work at Yeshiva University, Modern Orthodoxy\u2019s flagship institution, and received his doctorate from Yale, according to the website of Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, where he spent much of his career and is still listed as an emeritus professor.<\/p>\n He\u2019s a political philosopher and intellectual historian who over the course of his academic career published prolifically with mainstream and elite presses: \u201cThe Strange Death of Marxism: The European Left in the New Millennium,\u201d by University of Missouri Press, in 2005, for example, and in 1999, \u201cAfter Liberalism: Mass Democracy in the Managerial State\u201d by Princeton University Press.<\/p>\n He also devised the term \u201cpaleoconservative\u201d for conservatives who value limited government, tradition and Western identity, according to the \u201cConservapedia,\u201d a Wikipedia-type website. Gottfried and a colleague tacked the prefix \u201cpaleo\u201d onto \u201cconservative\u201d specifically to contrast themselves with \u201cneoconservatives\u201d who emphasize an interventionist United States over most other policies. Paleoconservatives favor an isolationist foreign policy, restrictions on immigration and controls on free trade.<\/p>\n Indeed, Gottfried\u2019s background comports with that of many neoconservatives in that he is Jewish and was born in the Northeast and educated in an Ivy League institution. He is, however, their sworn enemy, castigating them for being so insufficiently conservative as to defend the welfare state. He also called their movement out as a Jewish one, \u201cclosely identified with the personal and ethnic concerns of its Jewish celebrities.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2008, he founded and still runs the H.L. Mencken Club, to create conferences that would provide a regular gathering place for conservatives like himself. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, these conferences have from their first meeting served to bring together racists and white nationalists.<\/p>\n In his speech at the Mencken Club\u2019s inaugural meeting, Gottfried wrote approvingly of \u201csociobiology,\u201d: the \u201ccognitive, hereditary preconditions for intellectual and cultural achievements.\u201d He reminded his listeners that \u201cnot everyone enjoys the same genetic precondition for learning.\u201d<\/p>\n Jared Taylor, editor of the white nationalist magazine American Renaissance, has addressed the Mencken Club. His magazine features stories about eugenics and the genetic roots of human inferiority and superiority. Taylor told the Forward that \u201cWhite Jews are white.\u201d Some Jews, he has written, \u201csee themselves as men of the West who will fight to preserve European civilization.\u201d<\/p>\n COMMENTS:<\/p>\n * Founded the H.L. Mencken Club? Mencken was a vicious anti-Semite and only a self-hating Jew could honor him. This one fact gives away the true character of Gottfreid. The sort of Jew we ought to shun and denounce. The Forward is doing more reporting and opining on the Alt Right than any other Jewish publication. Unfortunately, the quantity of their reports are rarely of quality.
