Ashkenazi Schizophrenia:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=ashkenazi[All%20Fields]%20AND%20%28%22schizophrenia%22[MeSH%20Terms]%20OR%20%22schizophrenia%22[All%20Fields]%29&cmd=DetailsSearch&log$=details
Okay, I am going to venture that the
probability that a person who is
hearing evil voices (assume we are
only talking of only one of the four
definitions of the term - which means
the term itself is schizophrenic, but then
so is the term neologism a neologism),
if while genetically linked, that that
socioemotiogenetic liability, also
demonstrated by the experience of David
Brooks in his own homeland:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/opinion/17brooks.html
"The most emotionally intense experiences are national ones, so the
public-private distinction was bound to erode. Moreover, the status
system doesn’t really revolve around money. It consists of trying to
prove you are savvier than everybody else, that above all you are
nobody’s patsy,"
might compromise the claim that a
certain race is overall, intellectually
superior to the rest of us.
And I am going to parse it once more:
Let us wonder why the hearing-of-voices
are always *evil* voices. Who has heard
of the subclass of the subclasses of
the schizophrenic term schizophrenia,
wherein one hears voices, being GOOD
voices?
(This fact is not mentioned in the literature
but then again not a thing psychiatry
claims is followed through to its logical
end.)
If there are persons with an innate
ability to pass physical barriers (Lorraine
Warren is one of them and there are several
others who appear in them ghost-hunter shows)
do they have the same genetic programming
as schizophrenics?
Are the Lorraine Warrens of the world,
and the psychics, the channelers, the people
who speak with "Pleaidians"... and the Israeli
schizophrenics, the same as the alleged Indigos?
If overall, there are more Israeli
schizophrenics than in the rest of
various, what we would call, races,
populations, does that dilute the claim
that Israelis are intellectually superior
to the rest of us?
If there are more schizophrenic Israelis
than the rest of us, is that a genetic effect
from their inbred isolation within European
populations? (There are several known
Ashkenazi genetic diseases.)
I am trying to get at the essence of the
claim that Israelis are intellectually superior
to the rest of us, like the Aryans were. The
Aryans turned out to be real, real bad
guys, as we all recall.
Even if Einstein, who had high-functioning
autism, would be factored into the claim
that Israelis are smarter than the rest of us,
I wonder if the total schizophrenic population of
Israelis would inhibit their statistical claim.
AND if it did, would they investigate
why the voices heard by the subschizophrenics
are always evil and nasty?
Because I would like to know.
Maybe the very, very smart Israelis
can tell us. In the end I would like
to know what intelligence means.
We can't go to the self-alleged
brain diseases experts:
http://www.actionlyme.org/BRAIN_PERMANENT.htm
Nobody ^^^ told them what happened to
the Syphilis General Paresis patients
yet. (It happened in Paul Ehlich's lab
over 100 years ago, and then the same
technology was applied in Africa
http://www.actionlyme.org/FOR_EUROLYME.htm
to, I guess, demented chickens.)
Then, when we're done with that
argument or inquiry, we can move on.
We can pick another peoplepuzzle abandoned
by the Modernists or the self-alleged
Enlightened Ones...

Israeli Racists and the Demographic Demon
A Religious Scoundrel
By URI AVNERY
WHEN THE TV news starts with a murder, people are relieved.
This means that no war has broken out, no suicide bomb has exploded,
no Qassam rocket has been launched at Sderot. Ahmadinejad has not test-
fired a new missile that can reach Tel Aviv. Just another murder.
Not that Israel is the world’s murder capital. We shall have to work
much harder to reach the heights of New York or Moscow, not to mention
Johannesburg. Statistics even show our murder rate is declining.
But lately Israel has been shocked by a series of exceptionally brutal
murders. A husband took revenge on his wife by killing his little
daughter and burying her in a forest. A man who lived with the wife of
his son killed her daughter, his own granddaughter, put her little
body in a suitcase and threw it into Tel Aviv’s Yarkon river. A son
who quarreled with his wife killed her and her mother, cut up both
bodies and dispersed the parts in garbage bins. A young man who had a
quarrel with his mother killed her, and then went off to kill his
brother, too. A man in his 70s killed his wife in her sleep with a
hammer.
In recent weeks, there were two cases that trumped even these
atrocities.
Damian Karlik, an immigrant from Russia who worked as head waiter in a
Russian restaurant, was dismissed for theft and decided to take
revenge on the owners, Russian immigrants like him. He went to their
apartment and stabbed to death six people, one after another – the
owner and his wife, their son and his wife and their two small
grandchildren.
An immigrant from the US called Jack Teitel, an inhabitant of one of
the most extreme West Bank settlements, has now confessed to the
killing some years ago of two random Palestinians. He returned briefly
to America, and, after coming back, put bombs into police cars. Why?
Because the police were protecting gays and lesbians. He is also
suspected of killing two traffic policemen for the same reason. He
also claimed responsibility for the mass killing of gays in a Tel Aviv
club (though that may be empty bragging). He planted a bomb in the
home of some Messianic Jews (Jews who regard Jesus as the Messiah) and
grievously injured a 15-year-old. He tried to kill the leftist
professor Ze’ev Sternhell with another bomb which wounded him.
* * *
WHAT IS so special about these two cases is that they involved new
immigrants who were allowed into Israel in spite of already being
under investigation for crimes in their homelands.
The Law of Return accords every Jew the right to immigrate (“make
Aliyah”) to Israel, where he or she automatically receives Israeli
citizenship on arrival. But even according to this law, the Minister
of the Interior can reject people suspected of serious crimes.
This makes the case of Karlik especially interesting. He was suspected
in Russia of armed robbery, but the organization in charge of issuing
Israeli immigration permits in Russia asserts that they did not know
about it.
This organization, Nativ (“path”), was active in the Soviet Union as
one of the Israeli secret services, like the Mossad and Shin Bet. Its
particular job was to infiltrate Jewish communities and induce Jews to
come to Israel.
Apart from this, Nativ was also engaged, of course, in espionage. It
is no secret that for decades immigrants arriving from the Soviet
Union were interrogated exhaustively by the Shin Bet about military,
economic and other installations in their former homeland. The
precious information thus gathered ensured Israel a high standing in
the Western intelligence community.
After the collapse of the Communist regime, Nativ was to be disbanded,
but like every threatened organization it fought for its life. It was
decided to leave it intact and put it in charge of immigration to
Israel from all the former Soviet republics. They now have to make
sure that immigrants are kosher Jews according to religious law.
The religious credentials of the immigrants interest Nativ much more
than any criminal record they may have. It seems Nativ has no contacts
with the Russian police, who probably suspect it of other activities.
Thus it happens that a person like Karlik, a man under investigation
for robbery with violence, was found suitable for immigration. His
ethnic pedigree was impeccable. After his arrival in Israel, the
Russian authorities officially applied for his extradition for
robbery, but the request was denied. The escaped robber was issued a
license for a gun and allowed to work as a guard.
Teitel’s case is similar. True, in the US there is no Nativ, but the
logic of those in charge of emigration to Israel is the same: to bring
immigrants without asking unnecessary questions. According to
religious law, a Jew remains a Jew even if he sins.
* * *
THESE AFFAIRS shine a spotlight on one of the guiding principles of
the Zionist establishment: to bring Jews to Israel, whatever the
price. Statistics must show that this year – or any other year – a
record number of Jews have “made Aliyah”. In many communities, the
bottom of the barrel is scraped in order to bring more Jews.
Emissaries find “lost tribes” of Jews in Peru and Ethiopia, India and
China.
In this situation, there is an understandable temptation to overlook
the criminal past of would-be immigrants. So what if somebody, a
kosher Jew, has robbed a bank or mistreated children? In Israel he
will perhaps mend his ways. Or if somebody was put on trial abroad for
illegal arms deals, money laundering and/or selling blood-stained
diamonds – he is welcome, and if he brings his millions with him, the
leaders of the state will be happy to be photographed in his company.
That is true, of course, only for an immigrant who is a Jew according
to the Halakha (religious law). If he is a Goy, the story is quite
different. That is the province of the leader of the Shas party, Eli
Yishai.
* * *
IN THE present Israeli government there are several candidates for the
title of Racist in Chief. An objective jury would be hard put to
choose between them.
The favorite is the Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, a certified
racist whose entire career in Israel is built on hatred towards Arabs
and foreigners. It was he who appointed as Minister of Justice the
kippa-wearing lawyer Ya’akov Ne’eman, who is now busily engaged in
securing the all-important position of Legal Advisor to the Government
(practically the Attorney General) for a judge educated in a Yeshiva
(Orthodox school), who lives in one of the more extreme settlements
and who has become notorious for several rightist judgments. Binyamin
Netanyahu himself, of course, is also an excellent candidate.
But the King of Racists is the Minister of the Interior. He is more
dangerous than his colleagues because he has absolute power over the
civil status of every person in Israel, immigration and emigration,
the Register of Residents and the expulsion of foreigners. In this
position he is now doing to foreigners what others have done to Jews
in many countries. He is untiring in his efforts to guard the real
Israel – not the “Jewish and democratic state” as it is officially
defined, but rather the “Jewish and demographic state”. For this
purpose he has recently created a special para-police force for the
detection and deportation of illegal foreigners.
It is difficult to decide whether Yishai is an extreme fanatic or a
complete cynic, or some strange combination. As matter of fact, when
Shas was still a moderate party, in those distant days when its guru,
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, ruled that it is permissible to give back the
occupied territories, and its former leader, Aryeh Deri, was the
darling of the left, Yishai, too, declared “Yes to Oslo, Yes to the
evacuation of Jews from Hebron, Yes to Arafat!” But since then much
dirty water has flowed down our polluted rivers, Shas has turned into
a radical right-wing party and Yishai is now the most extreme rightist
in the government.
His unshakable devotion to the purity of the race arouses admiration.
Hardly a day passes without some shocking news about his activites. He
fights like a tiger for the expulsion of 1500 children of foreign
workers who were born in Israel, who speak Hebrew and attend Israeli
schools, who have no other homeland. Yishai is ready to lay down his
life for their deportation.
The Interior Ministry prevents the entry of American and European
citizens who bear Arab names. Officials of the UN and the EU in charge
of projects for the Palestinians are normally unable to enter from
Jordan (or anywhere else outside Israel), and if they somehow do
obtain permission – they are then forbidden to cross the Green Line
into Israel. Foreign women married to Israelis are expelled without
mercy. There is no end to the examples.
In the eyes of Yishai, every son of a Thai is an enemy of the Jewish
state, every daughter of a Colombian worker is a threat to the purity
of the Jewish people. He has declared that the foreign workers are an
“infection”, and warned that Tel Aviv is “becoming Africa”. He has
disclosed that the foreigners carry frightening diseases, such as
AIDS, tuberculosis and such. (And in this respect they resemble gays
and lesbians, who, according to Yishai, are “sick people”.
Such a person would not remain a minister in the cabinet of the US or
most European countries. In the homeland of the Nuremberg laws he
would not even come close to a government position.
Recently, during the operation “Cast Lead”, Yishai demanded that we
“bomb thousands of houses, to destroy Gaza” – which does not hinder
him from denouncing Judge Richard Goldstone as an abominable anti-
Semite. He himself, by the way, never risked his skin as a combat
soldier – this national hero served as an NCO for religious services
in a transport unit.
800 years ago, Rabbi Moshe Ben-Nahman, called Nahmanides, coined the
phrase “Scoundrel with the permission of the Torah” - meaning a
person who does despicable things which are not expressly forbidden in
the Bible. I am not sure if even this appellation would fit Yishai,
since the Bible forbids more than once the mistreatment of strangers –
“Ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless and the widow” (Jer.
7:6), “He…loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment” (Deut.
10:18) and many other commandments to this effect.
* * *
BUT More important than Yishai himself is the phenomenon that he
represents: the invocation of the demographic demon, which terrifies
the country.
62 years after its foundation, the State of Israel is still living in
fear of the “demographic danger”. It is afraid of its Arab citizens,
and therefore discriminates against them in every sphere. It is afraid
of the 400 thousand Russians who have come to this country with their
Jewish relatives in accordance with the Law of Return, but whose
mothers were not Jewish. Here is a built-in contradiction: while the
Nativ operators are interested in maximizing the number of immigrants,
Yishai and his people deny these very same immigrants the right to
marry Jews or to be buried in Jewish graveyards. They serve in the
army, but if they fall in action they cannot be buried next to their
comrades.
Practically all Hebrew Israelis want a state with a Hebrew majority,
where the Hebrew language, culture and tradition are cultivated. But
many of us do not want a man-hunting, woman-hunting and child-hunting
state, closed to asylum-seekers, where foreign workers who outstay
their welcome must live in permanent fear, like our ancestors in the
ghettoes.
In order to exorcise the demographic demon, my friends and I have
applied to the courts and requested that the registration “Nation:
Jewish” in the Ministry’s Register of Residents be replaced with
“Nation: Israeli”. Our application was rejected by Judge Noam Solberg
– the very same person the Minister of Justice is moving mountains to
get appointed as Attorney General.
