THE BEST NEWS TO COME OUT OF EUROPE IN A LONG WHILE
Reliapundit and I have had our differences on this subject (as I have had my differences with just about every other anti-Jihad blogger in the blogosphere on this subject, save Epaminondas, Midnight Rider, and Always on Watch - all featured bloggers at Infidel Bloggers Alliance).
Reliapundit, along with people like Atlas Shrugs, Gates of Vienna, and many others, believes we can ally ourselves with parties such as the Vlaams Belang, the British National Party, and the French National Front, as long as they are in support of Israel.
I say, "No." Why? Because, this support, coming from Ethnic Nationalists, contains within it the seeds of Israel's destruction. The support coming from the VB, BNP and others, is based upon the Hitlerian notion that to be a Jew is to be a member of a race. It is not. Anyone can be a Jew.
If the Jewish people allow Ethnic Nationalists to define Israel as an Ethnic Nationalist nation, then the United Nations, and a whole host of other organizations, and world leaders, will use that notion to support their "Israel-is-an-Apartheid-state" assertions. And, that will be the beginning of the end for Israel on the world stage.
Once again, Israel is NOT an Ethnic Nationalist state, because Judaism is an ideology not a race.
Israel, as a nation, is based upon the ideology of Judaism, making Israel the only nation on Earth, other than the United States of America, to be founded upon ideas, rather than Ethnicity.
Blood lineage is, quite literally, a backward way of looking at things in which one's identity is defined by the past, whereas, to be a nation born of ideas is to be a nation born of dialectic, which is an ever-evolving process, and is, thus, a forward-looking worldview.

ac tually jews are a race of sorts: those of us born jews must have mothers who were jews.
ReplyDeleteaccording to a big dna study of MITOCHINDRIAL DNA (which comes excluysively from the mother and not 50/50 from mother and father), most jews are all descended from four women going back a few thousand years.
"coincidentally", jews have four matriarchs.
also: jews who self-identify as COHANIM have been DNA-tested and found to share a gene.
sure: gerntiles can convert and there are many mised marriages - many of which have jewish children - through the mnother or through conversion .
but most jews today are descended from the jews of thr HOLY LAND.
in this sense, we are as much a race as anyone is.
ALSO: I DO NOT HAVE LITMUS TEST FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN IN THE COUNTER-JIHAD:
people like glennreynolds who favor sodomy and queer marriage are fine with me.
those who favor abortion roghts are welcome too.
so are the bnp - which BTW have not killed ANYONE while abortionists have killed 30 million.
i ahve always favored the liberation of iraqw tho' most iraqis hate israel.
I HOPE THIS SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
in the future: don't put words in my mouth.
also
please avoid the use of cusswords in the title.
Sorry about the cuss word in the title. I should have known to put some sort of blank in there.
ReplyDeleteAs far as putting words in your mouth, I don't think I did. I just said you and I have differences. You favor allying with parties like the BNP, and I don't.
I think that's true.
Your expansion of the point is fine. But, the basis of my point was true.
Also, I'm with you. I favor allying with pro-abortionists, pro-Creationists, pro-Leftists (like Hitchens), etc.
Infidel Bloggers Alliance defines an Infidel thusly:
Anyone who is hated by Muslims, for whatever reason.
That being said, I will not personally approve of racism, because it is counter to the Western ideal and particularly to the American Tradition.
As our masthead says over at IBA:
THE PARALLEL GOVERNMENT
OF THE ENTIRE WORLD
All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same inalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
THEREFORE, IF THE BNP WERE TO GAIN POWER
REGIME CHANGE WOULD BE NECESSARY.
See what I mean?
Why ally with someone your going to have to destroy inevitably?
ReplyDeleteWe don't have to destroy Abotionists. Because Abortion is not the platform of a party. It is an issue.
The BNP has an entire platform, an entire ideology. It is almost as sick as Communism. In fact, it almost is Communism, with racism thrown in for good measure.
Why ally with someone your going to have to destroy inevitably?
ReplyDeleteTO WIN.
ALSO: JEWS ARE A RACE IF ANYONE IS.
REMEMBER: RACE IS AN ARBITRARY CONSTRUCT, A HEURISTIC DEVICE; IF YOU ASCRIBE IT AN ONTOLOGICAL REALITY YOU HAVE COMMITTED WHAT A.N. WHITEHEAD CALLED "THE FALLACY OF THE MISPLACED COPNCRETENESS."
BY NORMAL USAGE, MUSLIMS ARE NOT A RACE. ARABS ARE. JEWS ARE. CHRISTIANS ARE NOT.
