There is good reason to believe that many purported group differences between European Jews and gentile whites have been exaggerated. I argue that European Jews have a unique ethno-religious identity, but that they still have a white identity, and that Jews have increasingly been assimilating into white culture. I argue that if Jews are more hostile to WA interests than gentiles, this can largely be explained by group differences in religiosity, education, and perceived outgroup hostility. While I concede that Jewish elites have been disproportionately anti-white, I argue that this behavior, for the most part, is characteristic of Jewish elites rather than Jews in general. Finally, I argue that generalized hostility towards Jews is a counter-productive strategy that hurts our movement. I believe white advocacy should be a movement that accepts pro-white European Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake, we have every reason to blame antiwhite<br \/>\nJews for the disproportionate impact they have<br \/>\nhad on immigration policy and their efforts to<br \/>\nundermine white racial consciousness. Whites should<br \/>\ndefend themselves, and should never be afraid to<br \/>\nconfront their critics. However, it is unfair to blame an<br \/>\nentire people for harm done by their elites. Just as<br \/>\nblacks should not blame whites because a small<br \/>\nnumber of whites owned slaves, gentile whites should<br \/>\nnot blame Jews or treat them all with hostility because<br \/>\nof the reprehensible actions of a small Jewish elite.<br \/>\nWhile we should vigorously oppose all anti-white<br \/>\nstatements and actions, I believe it is not helpful to our<br \/>\ncause to oppose Jews as Jews.<\/p>\n<p>I agree that many influential Jews have had a negative<br \/>\nimpact on European civilization, and have done great<br \/>\nharm to our people via the ideologies they have<br \/>\npromoted. Nevertheless, I think there are large gaps<br \/>\nbetween the activities of the Jewish public and Jewish<br \/>\nelites. In other words, it is my contention that Jewish<br \/>\nelites, insofar as they are anti-white, for the most part<br \/>\nact independently of the larger Jewish population.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin MacDonald wrote on page one of The Culture of Critique:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no implication here [in The Culture<br \/>\nof Critique] of a unified Jewish \u201cconspiracy\u201d<br \/>\nto undermine gentile culture, as portrayed in<br \/>\nthe notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion.<br \/>\nSince the Enlightenment, Judaism has never<br \/>\nbeen a unified, monolithic movement, and<br \/>\nthere has clearly been a great deal of<br \/>\ndisagreement among Jews as to how to protect<br \/>\nthemselves and attain their interests during<br \/>\nthis period. The movements discussed in this<br \/>\nvolume (Boasian anthropology, political<br \/>\nradicalism, psychoanalysis, the Frankfurt<br \/>\nSchool of Social Research, and the New York<br \/>\nIntellectuals) were all advanced by relatively<br \/>\nfew individuals whose views may not have<br \/>\nbeen known or understood by the majority of<br \/>\nthe Jewish community. The argument is that<br \/>\nJews dominated these intellectual movements,<br \/>\nthat a strong sense of Jewish identity was<br \/>\ncharacteristic of the great majority of these<br \/>\nindividuals, and these individuals were<br \/>\npursuing a Jewish agenda in participating in<br \/>\nthese movement . . . There is no implication<br \/>\n[in this book] that Judaism constitutes a<br \/>\nunified movement or that all segments of the<br \/>\nJewish community participated in these<br \/>\nmovements. Jews may constitute a<br \/>\npredominant or necessary element in radical<br \/>\npolitical movements or movements in the<br \/>\nsocial sciences, and Jewish identification may<br \/>\nbe compatible with or even facilitate these<br \/>\nmovements without most Jews being involved<br \/>\nin these movements. As a result, the question<br \/>\nof the overall effects of Jewish influence on<br \/>\ngentile culture is independent of the question<br \/>\nof whether most or all Jews supported the<br \/>\nmovements to alter gentile culture.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>&#8230;When white advocates talk about \u201cJews,\u201d they almost<br \/>\nalways mean Ashkenazi or European Jews. Although<br \/>\nother Jewish subgroups are interesting, they are rarely<br \/>\nrelevant to most discussions of the Jewish question.<br \/>\nTherefore, I have deliberately excluded any nonEuropean<br \/>\nJews from Jewish samples, whenever this<br \/>\nwas possible or prudent. [4]<\/p>\n<p>In this essay \u201cJew\u201d is a synonym (or near synonym) for \u201cEuropean Jew.\u201d<br \/>\nAlso, I use \u201cgentile\u201d primarily to describe white<br \/>\nEuropeans who aren\u2019t Jewish. Unless otherwise<br \/>\nspecified, \u201cgentile\u201d always means \u201cwhite gentile.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>One of the central assumptions of many white<br \/>\nadvocates is that Jews see themselves as a separate,<br \/>\nnon-white group. They believe Jews have no white<br \/>\nidentity and no sense of kinship with or preference for<br \/>\nEuropeans. Some even think that Jews are so highly<br \/>\npredisposed to ethnocentrism that they can never be<br \/>\nassimilated into gentile societies. I call this the<br \/>\nSeparatist Theory.<\/p>\n<p>On its face, this theory seems reasonable. Jews have<br \/>\noften kept their distance from gentiles. In particular,<br \/>\nJews have shown powerful tendencies to live near<br \/>\nother Jews, marry other Jews, pick friends and<br \/>\nacquaintances who are Jews, and hire Jews. Even so,<br \/>\nthere is reason to think that Jews are as capable of<br \/>\nintegrating with gentiles as other white religious<br \/>\ngroups.<\/p>\n<p>In diverse societies, we would expect an alienated,<br \/>\nethnocentric minority group to: (1) distrust most<br \/>\npeople, (2) not expect most outsiders to be helpful, and<br \/>\n(3) not expect fair treatment from most people. This is<br \/>\nbecause most other people are not part of that minority.<br \/>\nJews should therefore be less trusting than gentiles,<br \/>\nand should have lower expectations that others will<br \/>\nhelp them.<\/p>\n<p>The data suggest otherwise. According to the GSS,<br \/>\nJews were just as likely as most other white ethnic<br \/>\ngroups to agree that \u201cmost people are trustworthy,\u201d<br \/>\nand Jews were more likely than blacks, Hispanics, and<br \/>\nAsians to agree with that statement. Similarly, Jews<br \/>\nwere as likely as most whites to agree that \u201cmost<br \/>\npeople are fair\u201d and that \u201cmost people are helpful;\u201d<br \/>\nagain, Jews were more likely than blacks, Hispanics,<br \/>\nand Native Americans to think so. [6] These findings<br \/>\nsuggest that Jews do not display the kind of<br \/>\nethnocentrism we would expect from an alienated,<br \/>\nethnocentric minority group. <\/p>\n<p>Problem 2: Jewish Intermarriage Rates and<br \/>\nPreferences for White Spouses<\/p>\n<p>Intermarriage rates are one of the best indicators of<br \/>\nintegration and assimilation. Although Jews are more<br \/>\nlikely to marry within their religion than would be<br \/>\nexpected by chance, rates of Jewish intermarriage<br \/>\nhave risen more than threefold over the last 40 years.<br \/>\nBetween 2005 and 2013, approximately 58 percent of<br \/>\nnewly married Jews married a non-Jewish spouse (vs.<br \/>\nonly 17 percent before the 1970s). [8] From the 1950s<br \/>\nto 2013, the proportion of Jews in new marriages who<br \/>\nmarried non-Jews increased at a linear rate of about<br \/>\n7.5 percentage points every decade. If current Jewish<br \/>\nintermarriage trends continue\u2014and they show no sign<br \/>\nof stopping\u2014by the year 2044 (the year the US Census<br \/>\npredicts that whites will become a minority), roughly<br \/>\n84 percent of American Jews who marry in that year<br \/>\nwill marry a spouse who isn\u2019t Jewish. Incidentally, the<br \/>\nannual increase in the share of people who marry<br \/>\noutside their religion has been far greater for American<br \/>\nJews than it has been for Christians. <\/p>\n<p>The exception to this trend is Orthodox Jews, who<br \/>\nrarely marry out. In several generations many<br \/>\nremaining Jews could be Orthodox, neither marrying<br \/>\nout nor assimilating. However, their effect on the<br \/>\nlarger society is minimal\u2014like that of the Amish.<br \/>\nFurthermore, unlike secular Jews, Orthodox Jews are<br \/>\nmore likely than white Mainline Protestants,<br \/>\nCatholics, or Orthodox Christians to identify with the<br \/>\nRepublican party.<br \/>\n[10] Recent statistics also suggest a<br \/>\ndegree of instability to Orthodox Jewish identity.<br \/>\nAccording to the Pew Research Center, less than half<br \/>\nof those who were raised in an Orthodox Jewish<br \/>\ntradition still adhere to their religious upbringing as<br \/>\nadults.<br \/>\n[11]<br \/>\nAccording to recent data, married Jews were just as<br \/>\nlikely as married gentiles to have a white spouse; in<br \/>\nboth cases the figure was approximately 94 percent. [12]<br \/>\nWhen I combined Pew survey data with Reuters\/Ipsos<br \/>\ndata, I calculated that 12-16 percent of Jews in Jewgentile<br \/>\nmarriages have non-white spouses. While this<br \/>\nis more than twice the out-marriage rate of whites as a<br \/>\nwhole, it still means that Jews who marry out have a<br \/>\nclear preference for whites (given that the US is about<br \/>\n39 percent non-white). Put another way, Jews who<br \/>\nmarry outside of their religion are roughly three times<br \/>\nless likely to marry a non-white person than would be<br \/>\nexpected by chance.<\/p>\n<p>According to the dating website CoffeeMeetsBagle,<br \/>\nwhite gentiles and Jews have very similar dating<br \/>\npreferences. [13]<\/p>\n<p>Jews of both sexes were more likely<br \/>\nthan white gentiles to prefer dating whites, despite the<br \/>\nfact that the website lets users state a preference for<br \/>\nany racial group. What\u2019s more, Jews of both sexes<br \/>\nwere more likely than gentiles to express an exclusive<br \/>\npreference for white people. This is not what one<br \/>\nwould expect if Jews had no white identity. <\/p>\n<p>Problem 5: Jewish Endogamy Rates Compared to<br \/>\nOther Religious Groups<\/p>\n<p>Proponents of the Separatist Theory assume that Jews<br \/>\nare uniquely ethnocentric and that this reflects<br \/>\nsomething inherent in Jews. They argue further that<br \/>\nJewish ethnocentrism is so ingrained that it is an<br \/>\ninsurmountable barrier to successfully integrating<br \/>\nJews into gentile societies.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jews appear less ethnocentric than several<br \/>\nother groups. Using data from the Pew Research<br \/>\nCenter, I found that Hindus, Orthodox Christians,<br \/>\nMuslims, Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, Buddhists, and<br \/>\nMormons are all far more likely than Jews to be<br \/>\nendogamous, or marry within their religion. With the<br \/>\npossible exception of Muslims and Hindu&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The most straightforward way to test whether Jews<br \/>\nhave a white identity is to see how they identify<br \/>\nthemselves when presented with a wide choice of<br \/>\nracial categories. According to the Pew Research<br \/>\nCenter, 90-95 percent of American Jews identify as<br \/>\nNon-Hispanic Whites (Note: \u201cNet Jewish\u201d means \u201cAll<br \/>\nJews\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The renowned writer, filmmaker, and social critic<br \/>\nSusan Sontag once wrote: \u201cThe white race is the<br \/>\ncancer of human history; it is the white race alone\u2013\u2013its<br \/>\nideologies and inventions\u2013\u2013which eradicates<br \/>\nautonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which<br \/>\nhas upset the ecological balance of the planet, and<br \/>\nwhich now threatens the existence of life itself.\u201d [27]<\/p>\n<p>Gentiles rarely write in such harsh terms. It is therefore<br \/>\neasy to believe that Jews have no sense of kinship<br \/>\ntowards whites, and are hostile towards them.<br \/>\nHowever, survey data suggest that most Jews do not<br \/>\nshare these sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>How should one gauge the emotional closeness Jews<br \/>\nfeel towards whites? The General Social Survey asked<br \/>\nJews and gentiles whether they felt \u201cvery close\u201d to<br \/>\nwhites, \u201cnot at all close\u201d to whites, or \u201cneither one nor<br \/>\nthe other.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>&#8230;When Jews and gentiles were asked if they feel<br \/>\nemotionally close to blacks, supermajorities of both<br \/>\ngroups say they have no feelings one way or the other.<br \/>\nJews were slightly more likely than gentiles to say they<br \/>\nhad no feeling towards blacks one way or the other,<br \/>\nand there was little difference in the share of gentiles<br \/>\nand Jews who felt \u201cvery close\u201d or \u201cnot at all close\u201d to<br \/>\nblacks. All in all, Jews were four to five times more<br \/>\nlikely to say they felt \u201cvery close\u201d to whites than they<br \/>\nwere to have similar feelings towards blacks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Problem 9: Jewish Tolerance of \u201cRacists\u201d<br \/>\nSome white advocates imagine the typical Jew as<br \/>\nsomeone like a Marxist sociology professor\u2014<br \/>\nsomeone who actively opposes any person who<br \/>\ncontradicts his anti-white narrative.<br \/>\nHowever, combining several years of GSS data shows<br \/>\nthat Jews are equally (or more) likely than most white<br \/>\nethnic groups\u2014and more likely than most non-white<br \/>\ngroups\u2014to think \u201cracists\u201d should be allowed to make<br \/>\npublic speeches, to oppose firing teachers for \u201cracist\u201d<br \/>\nattitudes, and to think \u201cracist\u201d publications should be<br \/>\nallowed in public libraries. [32]<\/p>\n<p>Jews, therefore, appear<br \/>\nto be some of the strongest defenders of individual<br \/>\nexpression, even of views they may find distasteful&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Concluding Remarks on the Separatism Hypothesis<\/p>\n<p>Some white advocates argue that Jews lack the white<br \/>\nidentity and emotional closeness to gentiles required<br \/>\nto support European civilization. They argue that<br \/>\nJewish ethnocentrism and zero-sum-game competition<br \/>\nwith whites are so strong and constant that Jews have<br \/>\nno place in white societies.<\/p>\n<p>The evidence suggests that while Jews may be<br \/>\nmoderately ethnocentric, they are not uniquely so<br \/>\ncompared to other white ethnics. Jews are increasingly<br \/>\nintegrating with whites, and appear to have a white<br \/>\nidentity. Rather than a separatist mentality, Jews<br \/>\nappear to have a sense of loyalty, kinship, and<br \/>\nemotional feeling towards whites that is similar to the<br \/>\nway whites feel about each other&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Canadian Jews were no more likely than<br \/>\ngentiles to report having a left-wing ideology.<br \/>\nSurprisingly, Jews were more likely than gentiles to<br \/>\nidentify with the political right. They were also equally<br \/>\nlikely to identify as moderate. The evidence suggests<br \/>\nthat, contrary to what some may think, gentiles in<br \/>\nCanada are more leftist than Jews. [38]<br \/>\nIt is not only in Canada that Jews identify with the<br \/>\nright. During the 2010 British Elections, Jews were<br \/>\nnearly twice as likely as gentiles to vote Conservative,<br \/>\nthey were less likely to vote for Labour, and were<br \/>\nequally likely to support the Liberal Democrats. On<br \/>\nthe whole, Jews were more likely than any other ethnic<br \/>\ngroup in Britain to vote for a right-wing party in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Jewish politics in other English-speaking countries<br \/>\nalso fit the British pattern. According to Kenneth<br \/>\nWald, a professor of political science at the University<br \/>\nof Florida, \u201cFrom the late 1970s on, Australian Jews<br \/>\ndeveloped and exhibited a strong preference for the<br \/>\ncountry&#8217;s conservative party, the Liberals, giving the<br \/>\nparty&#8217;s candidates roughly three-fifths of their support<br \/>\nin most elections.\u201d [ 45 ] The somewhat misnamed<br \/>\nAustralian Liberal Party has historically offered more<br \/>\nresistance to mass immigration than any other<br \/>\nmainstream Australian party. If Jews in the West were<br \/>\nuniformly bent on promoting open borders, we would<br \/>\nexpect Australian Jews to favor the Labor party and its<br \/>\nsupport for open borders.<br \/>\nData on French Jews suggests that they, too, are<br \/>\nattracted to right-wing politics&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a variety of independent studies of Jews in<br \/>\nEuropean countries conducted between the late 1970s<br \/>\nand late 2000s have found that Jews in white countries<br \/>\nhaven\u2019t been significantly more leftist than gentiles,<br \/>\nand that European Jews tend to fall to the right or<br \/>\ncenter of the political spectrum. [52] Thus, contrary to<br \/>\nthe stereotype of Jews being liberal everywhere<br \/>\noutside of Israel, Jewish liberalism appears to be more<br \/>\nthe exception than the rule.<\/p>\n<p>In recent decades,<br \/>\nAmerican Jews have increasingly identified with the<br \/>\nRepublican Party. According to several Gallup polls<br \/>\nconducted between 2008 and 2014, Jewish<br \/>\nidentification with the Democratic Party declined from<br \/>\n71 percent in 2008 to 61 percent in 2014. By contrast,<br \/>\nJewish support for the Republican Party increased<br \/>\nseven points from 22 percent to 29 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to the<br \/>\nassumptions of many white advocates, a reduction in<br \/>\nthe Jewish population of Europe, Canada, and<br \/>\nAustralia would entail an immediate shift to the left.<\/p>\n<p>However, even if the evidence shows that a small<br \/>\nnumber of Jewish elites dominate our media, and even<br \/>\nif there is reason to think that these elites have<br \/>\npromoted anti-white views, these facts alone do not<br \/>\njustify belief in the Fifth Column Theory. This is<br \/>\nbecause although Jewish media elites may promote<br \/>\nthese toxic ideologies, it could also be true that Jewish<br \/>\nelites act independently of the Jewish public.<br \/>\nIf there were a Jewish Fifth Column that extended all<br \/>\nthe way to the public, we would predict that Jews<br \/>\nshould be more likely than any other racial group to<br \/>\nexpress high levels of confidence in higher education,<br \/>\ntelevision, and the press. There is no question that<br \/>\nAmerican television, media, and universities have<br \/>\npromoted anti-white ideologies. If Jews<br \/>\ndisproportionately support those ideologies, they<br \/>\nshould have greater faith than gentiles in these<br \/>\ninstitutions. Moreover, Jews have been highly<br \/>\noverrepresented among college admissions officers<br \/>\nand university faculty for many years. As a result, the<br \/>\nFifth Column Theory predicts that Jews should have<br \/>\nmore confidence than gentiles in higher education.<br \/>\nGSS data show this is not the case.<br \/>\nDr. Tom Smith\u2019s analysis of the General Social Survey<br \/>\nfound that between 1990 and 2002, Jews were no more<br \/>\nor less likely than any other European ethnic group to<br \/>\nhave confidence in television, the media, and higher<br \/>\neducation. [67]<br \/>\nJews were also less likely than Blacks,<br \/>\nHispanics, and Asians to express confidence in<br \/>\ntelevision and higher education, and were less likely<br \/>\nthan Hispanics and Asians to express confidence in the<br \/>\nmass media.<br \/>\nI re-aggregated GSS data in order to compare gentiles<br \/>\nto European Jews in two separate time periods, 1973 \u2013<br \/>\n1989 and 1990 \u2013 2014. [68] During the 1970s and 80s, I<br \/>\nfound that Jews were just as likely as gentiles to have<br \/>\nconfidence in the media, but were slightly less likely<br \/>\nto say they had \u201chardly any\u201d confidence. On the other<br \/>\nhand, after 1989, Jews were just as likely as gentiles to<br \/>\nexpress large, moderate, and low levels of confidence<br \/>\nin the American media&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, there is little support for the Fifth<br \/>\nColumn theory. There is a great deal of international<br \/>\nvariation in Jewish voting patterns and political<br \/>\nideologies. Jews in the West are becoming less liberal,<br \/>\nand Jews have no more trust than gentiles in Jewishdominated<br \/>\ninstitutions. These results suggest that the<br \/>\nanti-white behavior of certain Jewish elites does not<br \/>\nreflect the views of ordinary Jews. [71]<\/p>\n<p>III. Jews and the Gates of Europe<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the strongest evidence against Jews involves<br \/>\nthe systematic efforts by Jewish elites to promote mass<br \/>\nimmigration into white countries. The Culture of<br \/>\nCritique outlines these efforts in striking detail, and<br \/>\nthey may lead one to conclude that: (1) the Jewish<br \/>\npublic overwhelmingly supports open borders and<br \/>\nmassive Third-World immigration, (2) that far more<br \/>\nthan any other group, Jews want to open the West\u2019s<br \/>\nimmigration floodgates, and (3) that Jews in general<br \/>\nare responsible for opening the West to non-white<br \/>\nimmigration. I call this the Floodgate Theory. Here are<br \/>\nfour reasons why the theory is probably false.<\/p>\n<p>British Jews were just as likely as British whites to vote for Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, however, there is no denying that<br \/>\nJews display a tendency towards liberalism on<br \/>\nimmigration. Yet how large a group difference must<br \/>\nbe in order to be thought of as \u201csubstantial\u201d is a<br \/>\nsubjective question.<br \/>\nIf whites and Jews are as likely to share the same<br \/>\nattitudes on nearly 70 percent of immigration-related<br \/>\nissues, it does not seem fair to single out ordinary Jews<br \/>\nfor their role in supposedly opening the floodgates.<\/p>\n<p>On foreign policy, Jewish Republicans have views<br \/>\nanalogous to their gentile counterparts and generally<br \/>\nagree on how to pursue US interests abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Jewish Republicans do not appear to be markedly prowar,<br \/>\nand their views on appropriate levels of military<br \/>\nspending are identical to those of gentile Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, while there appear to be a few Jewish<br \/>\nRepublicans who support a hawkish US foreign policy<br \/>\nout of a desire to help Israel, Jews in the GOP largely<br \/>\nsee eye to eye with gentiles.<\/p>\n<p>Reason 3: No Correlation Between Mass<br \/>\nImmigration and the Size of the Jewish Population<\/p>\n<p>If the Jewish public were responsible for opening the<br \/>\nimmigration floodgates, we would expect countries<br \/>\nwith more Jews to have larger shares of immigrants. If<br \/>\nwe look at data on 39 white countries in which there<br \/>\nwas information on the size of the country\u2019s immigrant<br \/>\nand Jewish populations, we see a positive (but<br \/>\nstatistically insignificant) correlation between the<br \/>\nnumber of Jews per 100,000 people, and immigrants<br \/>\nas a percentage of the population.<\/p>\n<p>In layman\u2019s terms, so long as white countries are<br \/>\nequally wealthy, they are just as likely to have high or<br \/>\nlow levels of immigrants (on average), no matter how<br \/>\nmany Jews live in them. Prosperity rather than Jewish<br \/>\ninfluence appears to be the main reason why the Third<br \/>\nWorld immigrates to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, there was no correlation between the<br \/>\nnumber of Jews per 100,000 people within a white<br \/>\nnation, and percentage changes in the number of<br \/>\nimmigrants (as a percentage of a country\u2019s population)<br \/>\nbetween 1990 and 2013. Put simply, white countries<br \/>\nwith large Jewish populations are no more or less<br \/>\nlikely to gain more immigrants over time compared to<br \/>\ncountries with small Jewish populations. By the same<br \/>\ntoken, there was no association between increases or<br \/>\ndecreases in a white country\u2019s Jewish population, and<br \/>\nchanges in its immigrant population.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, since<br \/>\nthe overall size of the Jewish population is a proxy for<br \/>\nthe number of Jewish elites within a nation, these<br \/>\nfindings suggest that reducing the number of Jewish<br \/>\nelites (or Jews generally) within a nation would not<br \/>\ndecrease its level of support for open borders.<\/p>\n<p>So far I have found one survey on whites and Jews that<br \/>\ncould be used to estimate the proportion of race realists<br \/>\nwithin each group. From 1988 to 2014, the General<br \/>\nSocial Survey asked its respondents \u201cAre Black\/White<br \/>\ndifferences in income, housing, and jobs partly due to<br \/>\nthe fact that most Blacks have less of an inborn ability<br \/>\nto learn?\u201d During the 1988-1998 and 2000-2014<br \/>\nperiods, Jews were just as likely as the general white<br \/>\npopulation to agree with this statement (unfortunately<br \/>\nonly about one in 10 people in both groups agreed). [90]<br \/>\nAs such, GSS data suggests that, proportionately, there<br \/>\nare as many Jewish race realists as gentile race realists.<br \/>\nStill, the extent to which Jews are represented in the<br \/>\nWA movement remains an interesting question. When<br \/>\nit still published a monthly magazine, American<br \/>\nRenaissance conducted a survey of its readership. It<br \/>\nfound that approximately 3.3 percent of readers were<br \/>\nJewish. [91] Since Jews are roughly 2 percent of the<br \/>\npopulation, this suggests that Jews are slightly<br \/>\noverrepresented among supporters of pro-white<br \/>\nidentity politics.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, after researching the backgrounds of 75<br \/>\nof the most prominent race realists, several colleagues<br \/>\nand I discovered that about 13 percent could be shown<br \/>\nto have Jewish ancestry. [93]This means that Jews were<br \/>\nroughly seven times more likely to be prominent race<br \/>\nrealists than would be expected by chance alone.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, although one of the basic assumptions of<br \/>\nWAs\u2014myself included\u2014is that Jews have certainly<br \/>\nbeen pioneers in promoting anti-white thinking, are<br \/>\nelite Jews today really that much more anti-white than<br \/>\nelite gentiles? There may be some way to answer this<br \/>\nquestion empirically, but until that research is done, it<br \/>\nis worth pointing out that it has become almost as easy<br \/>\nto find sick, anti-white statements from elite gentiles<br \/>\nas from Jews.<br \/>\nBill Clinton looks forward to the day when the United<br \/>\nStates has no majority race. [201] The Army\u2019s chief of<br \/>\nstaff, General George Casey, says he believes that \u201cthe<br \/>\nstrength of our Army comes from our diversity.\u201d [202]<br \/>\nJoschka Fischer, the former foreign minister and vice<br \/>\nchancellor of Germany says his country should be<br \/>\n\u201ccontained from outside and heterogenized from the<br \/>\ninside by influx, \u2018diluted\u2019 so to speak.\u201d [ 203 ]<br \/>\nJohn<br \/>\nGorton, the former Prime Minister of Australia says<br \/>\n\u201cif we build up gradually inside Australia, a proportion<br \/>\nof people without white skins, then there will be a<br \/>\ncomplete lack of consciousness that it is being built up<br \/>\n. . . . [W]e will [then] . . . have a multi-racial country<br \/>\nwithout racial tensions, perhaps the first in the world.\u201d<br \/>\n[ 204 ] Thomas Eriksen, a professor of social<br \/>\nanthropology at the University of Oslo says, \u201cThe<br \/>\nmost important blank spot exists now in<br \/>\ndeconstructing the majority so thoroughly that it can<br \/>\nnever be called the majority again . . . . Something like<br \/>\nthis could contribute to both understanding and<br \/>\nliberation.\u201d [205]<br \/>\nSyndicated columnist Maggie Gallagher says, \u201cI hate<br \/>\nthe idea of being white. I never think of myself as<br \/>\nbelonging to the \u2018white race.\u2019 Those who do, in my<br \/>\nexperience, are invariably second-raters, seeking<br \/>\nsolace for their own failures. I can think of few things<br \/>\nmore degrading than being proud to be white.\u201d [206]<br \/>\nPeter Sutherland is a former attorney general of<br \/>\nIreland, and the UN\u2019s Special Representative for<br \/>\nInternational Migration. He says: \u201cThe United States,<br \/>\nor Australia and New Zealand, are migrant societies<br \/>\nand therefore they accommodate more readily those<br \/>\nfrom other backgrounds than we do ourselves, who<br \/>\nstill nurse a sense of our homogeneity and difference<br \/>\nfrom others. And that\u2019s precisely what the European<br \/>\nUnion, in my view, should be doing its best to<br \/>\nundermine.\u201d [207]<br \/>\nThis list could be much longer. It is increasingly less<br \/>\ndefensible to single out Jews for special criticism<br \/>\nbecause of their anti-white vitriol.<br \/>\nAnother reason I can imagine for promoting BANs<br \/>\nwould be to protect any future white institution,<br \/>\ncommunity, or ethnostate that we might establish.<br \/>\nBANs would build up support for excluding Jews<br \/>\nearly so there will already be political support for<br \/>\nexcluding them from whatever was established.<br \/>\nPurveyors of BANs fear that if Jews remain in an<br \/>\nethnostate, for example, they will subvert it from<br \/>\nwithin. Jewish elites have historically been good at<br \/>\npromoting dissent and exerting negative influences on<br \/>\npopular culture. Elite Jews have also been able to<br \/>\naccomplish these things far out of proportion to their<br \/>\nnumbers. The risk of permitting a Jewish fifth column<br \/>\nto remain within an ethnostate would therefore be too<br \/>\ngreat.<br \/>\nIn my view, this view errs on two fronts. As I have<br \/>\nargued above, there is good reason to think that the<br \/>\ngeneral Jewish public is not a fifth column within<br \/>\nwhite societies. Also, setting aside the moral issue of<br \/>\nexcluding Jews, such a policy makes sense only if one<br \/>\nmakes two assumptions: First, that Jews cannot be<br \/>\nsuccessfully brought into a white consciousness<br \/>\nmovement, and second, that Jews would want to stay<br \/>\nin a white community or ethnostate.<br \/>\nI think the first assumption is wrong given the wealth<br \/>\nof evidence presented above. However, if Jews<br \/>\nremained extremely anti-white uber-leftists, and even<br \/>\nif they couldn\u2019t be brought into our movement, they<br \/>\nwould surely leave an ethnostate or community once it<br \/>\nwas established.<br \/>\nFrom this point of view, trying to influence people<br \/>\nwith broadly anti-Jewish narratives is not a productive<br \/>\nuse of time. After all, if the \u201canti-Semites\u201d are wrong,<br \/>\nthey\u2019re wrong, and if they\u2019re right (and if they win),<br \/>\nthey gain nothing by peddling BANs given that what<br \/>\nthey want is something that would happen anyway.<br \/>\nFinally, some WAs may think the real benefit of BANs<br \/>\nis not to build support for excluding Jews, but that they<br \/>\nare an effective tactic for persuading more people of<br \/>\nRace Realism, the ills of diversity, and the need to<br \/>\ndefend white interests. <\/p>\n<p> Moreover, there are several prominent Jews who have tirelessly<br \/>\npromoted our cause, often at great personal expense.<br \/>\nThese include people such as Byron Roth, Mayer<br \/>\nSchiller, Michael Levin, Paul Gottfried, and Robert<br \/>\nWeissberg. These men have all spoken at American<br \/>\nRenaissance conferences. What do we gain by<br \/>\nalienating them and the community they represent?<br \/>\nMore recently, other Jews have helped promote racerealist,<br \/>\nanti-orthodox thinking. Steven Miller, Donald<br \/>\nTrump\u2019s senior policy advisor and warm-up speaker at<br \/>\nhis rallies, is Jewish. [208] Although he is certainly not<br \/>\nan open race realist, many of his statements seem to<br \/>\nreflect a level of understanding of race that is more<br \/>\nadvanced and sophisticated than that of Mr. Trump,<br \/>\nand more closely aligned with WA views. Whether he<br \/>\nwould see himself in that role or not, he is doing more<br \/>\npractical good for whites today than any of the<br \/>\npresumed \u201cleaders\u201d of our movement.<br \/>\nMilo Yiannopoulos, the flamboyant Breitbart writer<br \/>\nand campus speaker, is Jewish on his mother\u2019s side.<br \/>\n[209] Although his goal often seems to be to provoke<br \/>\noutrage any way he can, his open assault on taboos is<br \/>\nvery helpful in breaking down resistance to WA ideas.<br \/>\nWe hurt our own cause if we refuse to cooperate with<br \/>\nsuch people or create an aura around our ideas that<br \/>\nscares away other Jews who might play similar roles.<br \/>\nAt the same time, I have never seen a WA point out a<br \/>\nJewish angle on some issue in a way that persuaded a<br \/>\nnormal person of anything he was not already inclined<br \/>\nto believe. I fully agree with Jared Taylor when he<br \/>\nsays, \u201cI don&#8217;t think that in the United States you gain<br \/>\nany points if you&#8217;re in a debate with someone, and you<br \/>\npoint out the Jewish element.\u201d [210]<br \/>\nI would go further.<br \/>\nPointing out the Jewish element to the unconvinced is<br \/>\ncounterproductive. Most people see any mention of<br \/>\nJews as a crackpot conspiracy theory that is unworthy<br \/>\nof consideration. Although I have seen exceptions, the<br \/>\npattern seems to be that bringing up the Jewish<br \/>\nQuestion in the manner WAs do reduces our<br \/>\ncredibility.<br \/>\nFinally, attacking Jews plays into the hands of people<br \/>\nwho accuse us of being \u201cNeo-Nazis.\u201d Any accusation<br \/>\nof \u201cNazism\u201d that a reasonable person would find<br \/>\nplausible marks someone as an unhinged fanatic<br \/>\nwhose opinions can be ignored. Nothing is better<br \/>\ncalculated to drive away potential comrades than siegheiling<br \/>\nand swastikas, and anyone who doesn\u2019t realize<br \/>\nthis has such bad judgment he probably cannot be<br \/>\ntrusted to get much of anything right.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: Our goal is to advance our own interests.<br \/>\nWe need not work against the interests of others unless<br \/>\ndoing so advances our own. Some anti-Jewish WAs<br \/>\nbecome so fixated on \u201cthe enemy\u201d that they act as if<br \/>\nthwarting the interest of Jews were more important<br \/>\nthan advancing our own. For example, they are<br \/>\npleased by any setback for Israel; they are pleased<br \/>\nbecause Jews support Israel and they oppose anything<br \/>\nJews support.<br \/>\nWAs should support Israel insofar as it is a shining<br \/>\nexample of an ethnostate, of the kind of ethnic selfdetermination<br \/>\nwe want for ourselves and for all<br \/>\npeople. This is one of the reasons the successful<br \/>\nEuropean nationalist parties such as the Danish<br \/>\nPeoples Party, the Sweden Democrats, and the French<br \/>\nNational Front support Israel. There may well be<br \/>\ngrounds to criticize the behavior of the government of<br \/>\nIsrael and there may be legitimate reasons to oppose<br \/>\nAmerican policies as they relate to Israel, but these are<br \/>\ndifferent questions.<br \/>\nThere may also be reasons to notice and criticize<br \/>\nAmerican Jewish support for pro-Israel foreign policy<br \/>\nmeasures that may harm our relations with other<br \/>\ncountries or may not be in American interests. The<br \/>\nsame standards would apply to efforts by Americans<br \/>\nof Irish or Pakistani origin, for example, to influence<br \/>\nAmerican foreign policy in narrowly partisan<br \/>\ndirections. The concept of a Jewish state, however, is<br \/>\none that all WAs should support.<br \/>\nBANs lead to another danger. To paraphrase a friend,<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s always more fun for delinquents to hate the<br \/>\npeople above them than it is to hate those below them.\u201d<br \/>\nIf we keep advancing BANs, we will attract unsavory<br \/>\nwhites. They will not be people with a carefully<br \/>\nconsidered view of Jews, but dimwits who think in<br \/>\nsimple slogans. Hate, intemperance, and passion will<br \/>\ndrive many of them, and, when they inevitably make<br \/>\nbad decisions, this will confirm the negative<br \/>\nstereotypes our enemies peddle about us.<\/p>\n<p>While we should never fail to criticize anyone who is<br \/>\nanti-white, we should focus on those specific antiwhite<br \/>\nthings the offender said or did, not who he is.<br \/>\nUnless there is a very good reason to do otherwise, we<br \/>\nshould ignore the fact that an opponent may be a Jew.<br \/>\nIf we bring up the Jewish question, ordinary white<br \/>\npeople will find it at least distracting and probably<br \/>\ndistasteful. They will not think this is a legitimate<br \/>\nattack on anti-white behavior. Instead, they will see it<br \/>\nas an attack on Jews in general, which means our<br \/>\nmessage gets bogged down and loses focus. Also,<br \/>\nanyone who is attacked in this way can turn the tables<br \/>\nby portraying himself as a victimized Jew rather than<br \/>\nan anti-white.<\/p>\n<p>Oswald Mosely: \u201cI am not an anti-Semite. Anti-Semitism is hatred of<br \/>\nJews on account of their race. I attack some Jews on<br \/>\naccount of what they do, but I never attack any Jew on<br \/>\naccount of his birth. I never attack a man on account<br \/>\nof his race or religion. If a Jew does something against<br \/>\nthe interests of Britain or of Europe, he should be<br \/>\nattacked like anyone else. He should not be attacked<br \/>\nbecause he is a Jew, but equally he should not be<br \/>\nimmune from criticism because he is a Jew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Suggestion 2: Meet Prof. MacDonald\u2019s standards or<br \/>\nkeep your ideas of Jews to yourself<br \/>\nRegardless of your views on the Jewish question, all<br \/>\nof us should be able to agree that some people in our<br \/>\nmovement needlessly alienate normal people by using<br \/>\nextreme language about Jews. Prof. MacDonald<br \/>\nhimself has said the following: \u201cI agree with the point<br \/>\nthat a lot of people who don\u2019t like Jews express their<br \/>\nviews poorly. I have often thought that anyone who<br \/>\nhasn\u2019t read a lot in the area and has an IQ of less than<br \/>\n120 should not be allowed to discuss Jewish issues.\u201d<br \/>\n[215]<br \/>\nI do not wish to interpret Prof. MacDonald\u2019s statement<br \/>\nunfairly, but 91 percent of the white population has an<br \/>\nIQ of less than 120. Of the remaining 9 percent,<br \/>\nprobably fewer than one in five has \u201cread a lot about<br \/>\nJewish issues.\u201d This means that very few people are<br \/>\nqualified, by Prof. MacDonald\u2019s standards, to discuss<br \/>\nJewish issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PDF-FOR-RYAN I argue that the conventional wisdom among WAs [White Advocates] on the \u201cJewish Question\u201d is mistaken.
