You
Want to Understand Anti-Semitism? Just Look in the Mirror

Benjamin Weinthal, the Jerusalem Post’s correspondent
in Berlin wondered earlier this week whether Germany
has learned from its Nazi history? The question is in
itself very intriguing. Considering its past, one may
expect Germany to oppose any form of racist,
discriminatory, expansionist and nationalist ideology.
Bearing in mind Israelis are considered the ‘Nazis of
our time’ by more than just a few commentators, one
may expect the Germans to advise the Israelis what not
to do. One may also expect Germany to stand by the
Palestinians for the Palestinians are, de facto, the
last victims of Hitler.
Do not hold your breath. When Jpost’s writer Weinthal
refers to Germany learning from its history, he means
the complete opposite. What he seeks is German
subservience to the Zionist ideology and Jewish
national interests. Weinthal, wants to see a clear
diplomatic rift between Germany and Iran in the name
of the Shoa and its memory. “With regard to its more
future-oriented responsibility to prevent Iran's
acquisition of nuclear weapons and its threats to
obliterate Israel, critics say Germany is stumbling.”
Weinthal makes it transparent that as far as Zionists
are concerned, guilt-tripping the Germans is the way
forward.
Weinthal reports that the paths of Iran and Demjanjuk
crossed at the International Mideast Freedom Forum
Berlin conference ‘Time to Act’ last weekend. “The
Berlin conference's policy experts raised questions
about Germany's historic responsibility to Israel and
the lessons from the genocidal Nazi anti-Semitism.” In
case one is failing to understand, the Jewish lobby in
Germany is mounting pressure on German politicians and
academia to increasingly act against Iran in the name
of Jewish suffering.
In the conference Dr. Charles Small , the head of the
Yale ‘Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of
Anti-Semitism’ insisted that Germany had failed to
extract the necessary lessons from the Nazi period.
The Germans, according to this exceptionally lame
‘interdisciplinary’ academic Zionist do nothing to
prevent an “Iran-organized Shoah”.
Zionist academics are indeed amusingly innovative.
Interestingly enough, I myself never thought that Anti
Semitism is a subject for an ‘interdisciplinary’
study. I always believed that if Zionists and Jewish
tribal campaigners are interested in the origin of
anti Jewish feeling all they really need to do is to
look in the mirror. In fact Dr Small and the Jpost’s
Weinthal who promote the prospects of a new world
conflict in Germany should self-reflect so they
understand where the resentment to Jewish nationalism
and tribal activism are coming from. Once again, it is
Jewish activists who openly promote conflict. Once
again they do it in the name of Jewish suffering. This
is enough to make Jewish national politics a repugnant
concept.
“Holocaust denial is unlawful in Germany”, says
Weinthal, yet Iranian Holocaust-deniers are welcome in
German conferences. For a change Weinthal is almost
correct. There is indeed an element of discrepancy
here. But it can be resolved quite easily. Holocaust
denial laws in Germany and anywhere else must be
abolished immediately. It doesn’t make any sense that
a certain historical chapter within our living memory
should be legally restricted. Holocaust denial laws
are an assault against humanism and free thought.
Leave alone the fact that they make the Zionist Shoa
narrative look highly suspicious.
Weinthal concludes by posing a criticism of German
intellectual integrity. “Historical responsibility
unites Demjanjuk and the Islamic Republic”, yet he
continues, “the glacier-like pace at which the
connection is being understood is rather surprising in
a country that helped to develop philosophical
thinking based on connections.”
There is a Glimpse of truth in Weinthal’s argument. On
the face of it there is a discrepancy here between the
German legal action and the state’s attitude towards
Iran. Yet again, the solution is pretty simple: as I
argued in a previous paper, Demjanjuk should have
never been put on trial in Germany or anywhere else
for ‘accessory’ charges. If the Germans are interested
in Nazi ‘accessories’ they may start with the Jewish
Kapos, continue with the Judenrat and eventually
finish with the Zionist agencies that collaborated
with Nazis all along the war.
According to Weinthal, the Germans fail to ‘make
connections’. I would advise Weinthal that the Germans
are indeed famous for their superior philosophers. It
is also depressingly notable that Germany didn’t
produce a single major philosophical work or a great
symphony since the end of WWII. Due to its guilt and
the constant Zio-centric pressure, Germany is wary of
its own greatness or even greatness in general.
Instead of hosting some major academic conferences
that would elaborate on questions to do with Being,
Ethics or Metaphysics (following the tradition of
Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche and Heidegger), Berlin is
welcoming some of the shallowest ‘interdisciplinary’
Zionist minds, the likes of Dr. Charles Small. Germany
must immediately liberate itself of this pseudo
academic trend.
Unlike Weinthal, I do believe that Germans have not
lost their ability to think, to judge and to ‘make
connections’. Germans do grasp what is really going
on. In dismay they see the crimes that are committed
in Palestine by the Jewish state. Germans may be
confused by it all, but not for too long. Making the
necessary ethical connections is inevitable.
To conclude, I do not think that anyone except
Zionists doubt the fact that German people learned
their lesson. However, it is evidently clear that
Israelis, Zionists and Jewish Interdisciplinary tribal
activists fail to draw the necessary lesson from the
Shoa. Instead of making our planet a peace seeking
habitable place the Zionists and Jewish tribal
activists use Jewish suffering as an excuse for more
wars and world conflicts. Zionists had a chance to
open a new page in Jewish history. They obviously
failed completely. The images of Israel starving
Palestinians and dropping white phosphorus on
populated neighborhoods depict a total Israeli ethical
failure. Israel implements genocidal tactics. Israel
is the only state to practice Nazi like racist
discriminatory ideology and policies.
If Israel and its supporters want to tackle
anti-Jewish resentments they should stop chasing their
critics at once. They instead better look in the
mirror and understand once and for all that the
problem is inside.
