Jewish values undermine Jewish interests
Suicide as a Jewish Value
by Daniel Greenfield, FPM
A month ago, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz sat down with the host of a
Jewish television channel and could not name any reason for Jews to
vote for Obama except for his support for abortion. Which is to say
that the favorite muppet of the Democratic Party could not think of
any reason to support B.O. except a mutual commitment that fewer Jews
be born.
It is a little-known fact that Margaret Sanger, that pioneer of
eugenic solutions to “racial, political, and social problems,” began
by targeting Jews, opening her first center in Brownsville, Brooklyn,
complete with Yiddish and Italian flyers, aiming for the two immigrant
groups whose high reproduction rates were considered a social problem.
Abortion as a liberal Jewish value has been a stunning success. In New
York City, where Sanger first set up shop, 74 percent of all Jewish
children are members of the traditionalist Orthodox religious group.
Liberal Jews are already panicking over the prospect of a future
Jewish population in New York City that is staunchly conservative and
religious.
A recent survey of New York City Jews also shows a nearly even split
between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. 46 percent of New York Jews are
planning to vote against Obama, and a majority of New York City Jews
think that Romney would be better at fixing the economy than B.O. But
it is only to be expected that the group for whom abortion isn’t a
Jewish value would come to outnumber the group for whom abortion is a
Jewish value.
The problem with values is that you have to live with their
consequences. When your values dictate that terrorists deserve all the
protections of the civilian justice system, then you have to be ready
to live with the explosions. If your values dictate minimal population
growth, then you have to accept the consequences of extinction. Values
that are contrary to survival carry their own natural cost. And when
your values are at odds with your interests, then your values might as
well be an open window, a loaded revolver or a dose of strychnine.
Liberal Jews like to talk about Jewish values rather than Jewish
interests, because their values are incompatible with Jewish interests
— even as a matter of simple survival. The usual liberal grab bag of
values that are represented by the Jewish hand puppets of liberalism,
like Wasserman-Schultz, aren’t just alien, they threaten the basic
survival of the Jewish People.
When asked to justify what interests the Democratic Party and American
Jews have in common, the Jewish liberal dives into a copy of the New
York Times and comes up with illegal immigration, abortion, gay rights
and support for peace in the Middle East.
That list of liberal Jewish values not only fails to align with a
single Jewish interest, but each of them threatens Jewish interests…
that is if survival is to be considered a Jewish interest.
Peace in the Middle East means aborting Israel, dissecting it into
small pieces and repeating the process until there is no country left.
It’s another case of liberal Jews trying to do to Israel what they
have already done to themselves. To believe that pressuring Israel
into making a non-stop roll of concessions to Muslim terrorists is a
Jewish value is to believe that suicide is a Jewish value.
Illegal immigration, a cause that virtually every major Jewish
organization has signed on to, means the mass migration of Mexicans to
the United States. The ADL’s own survey shows that nearly half of
foreign-born Latinos rate as strongly anti-Semitic, over three times
the rate of white Americans. (Bad news for the glorious civil rights
alliance; the ADL’s strongly anti-Semitic ratings are 12 percent for
white Americans, 35 percent for African-Americans and 44 percent for
foreign-born Latinos.) The only way to make sense of this is that
liberal Jewish groups believe that increasing anti-Semitism in America
is actually a Jewish value.
But liberals of all creeds need more Mexican illegal aliens and
immigrants from all across the Third World to compensate for the good
work of Sanger. Liberal Christians fear the reproduction rates of
Conservative Christians as liberal Jews fear the reproduction rates of
Orthodox Jews. The only way out of the demographic race is to import
“ringers” who will have the children that they won’t. The new eugenics
is political eugenics. Birth control is no longer for the people that
Sanger considered the “unfit”; they’re valued now for their
reproductive rates which help the “fit” stay in power.
Growing anti-Semitism is a small price to pay for the liberal values
of having people like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz sitting in Congress
instead of selling tie-dyed t-shirts and hand-painted seashell bongs
in a flea market. And like all the wages of liberalism, the price for
it isn’t paid by the people on top, but by those at the bottom: Those
Jews living next to the 44 percent in New York City or on farms in the
West Bank within firing range of their Palestinian Muslim peace
partners. The Jews whom Sanger and Schultz consider “unfit.”
There is a fundamental gap between the interests of those Jews and
those of a liberal elite who claim that their liberal values are our
Jewish values. The values of the elite are linked to power while those
of the population are linked to survival. The power of liberal Jewish
elites is inextricably linked to the decimation of Jewish populations,
whether in the United States, Europe or Israel.
Jews who have grown up within the bubble of liberal Jewish values are
repeatedly asked to choose between their own interests, their
physical, social and economic welfare, and the values that have been
presented to them as Jewish values. They are encouraged to believe
that betraying their own interests is a noble act of self-sacrifice
for the greater good.
This is the same false choice between interests and values, between
the low ground of survival and the high ground of moral superiority,
that the left subjects all Americans and Europeans to on a regular
basis. What all the lecturers on the theme of the moral high ground
and the new value system have forgotten to mention is that a value
system that is incapable of perpetuating itself is of very little use
to anyone. It isn’t even any good as an act of martyrdom because
martyrs are remembered by the people who share their beliefs.
Martyrs that live on die for a faith, not for the extinction of a
faith. And that is what liberal Jewish values are. The extinction of a
faith and a people in the name of a better faith in liberalism and a
better people in the form of a multicultural rainbow of other people
who have children, but still vote Democratic, because their religious
values have not yet been submerged within a liberal identity.
The paradox of the multicultural alliance is that the political
survival of the narrow wedge of liberals at the top depends on a
larger wedge of non-liberals who vote for them but don’t share their
values. If the minority communities adopted the full panoply of
liberal values, they would be on the same path to extinction as the
people for whom they have been taught to pull the lever on Election
Day.
That is what makes the multicultural alliance into a frighteningly
unstable beast which is always at risk of either breaking left or
breaking right and must be constantly replenished through fresh
supplies of immigrants who are still economically liberal and socially
conservative enough to keep the system going.
Jewish liberals are stuck in a particularly hellish version of this
paradox preaching an extinction-based value system that is doomed to
lose the race to traditionalists. And the only way out is to try and
suborn and break down the values of Jewish traditionalists more
aggressively in order to gain fresh recruits for their zombie army of
the living dead.
Margaret Sanger at least understood that “the unbalance between the
birth rate of the ‘unfit’ and the ‘fit’ … can never be rectified by
the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes.”
Birth control teaching without eugenics would never be enough, but the
age when the government can mandate a One Child Policy is not yet
here. And even if it did arrive, it would still lead to a higher birth
rate for couples in traditional marriages.
The race between traditional Jewish values and liberal Jewish values
must always end in the same way over and over again. Suicide can never
become a Jewish value unless it is universalized and it can never be
universalized until every traditional group is broken down. Debbie
Wasserman-Schultz has already lost and she probably knows it. If she
doesn’t, the Jewish Federations who are busy typing up the survey
results certainly do. And while that will lead them to redirect more
money to groups such as Yeshivat Chovevei Torah and Uri L’Tzedek which
act as leftist outposts of the war on traditional Judaism — that too
is another race they cannot win.
In Israel and America, the proponents of Jewish suicide are
successfully wiping themselves out, while the proponents of Jewish
survival are filling up cradles. The race between the Jewish values of
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and their values is already being won.
