• Jews and the Western Civilization

    From Ilya Shambat@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 17 20:38:49 2023
    Someone on the Internet once wrote that there are two kinds of Jews: Money-loving Jews and idea-loving Jews.

    Plato said that there were three kinds of men: lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor and lovers of gain. I joked, “There are also men who are lovers of ‘wine, women and song – especially song.’”

    What this person said about the Jews, was said about humanity as a whole 2000 years earlier.

    I am sick of Jews being attacked for what everyone else is doing. The Muslims accuse Israelis of imperialism, but their imperialism was far greater. The Jews are accused of arrogance or thinking themselves to be special, when Americans, Germans and
    French do the same thing. The Jewish women are accused of promiscuity. This is not limited to the Jews and extends to many women in Europe and America.

    In 1930s, the Jews, who were liberal pacifists at the time, were accused of being cowards. Now, as Israelis, they are accused of being brutes. Both Europe and the Muslim world have had many incidences of both cowardice and brutality; and it is wrong for
    Jews to be accused of such things by people whose sins in both direction were far greater.

    It is easy to attack the Jews. It is not as easy to deal with one’s real enemies. There are places in the world where the West is hated, and people want to go on an all-out war against the West. Whereas the Jews have been the most highly contributing
    population to the Western civilization. Jewish inventions saved billions of lives. Jews won over 100 Nobel prizes in science and medicine. And they did so without engaging in slavery or colonialism at nearly the scale of their enemies.

    The Western civilization owes a lot to the Jews; and the people who see Jews as being an enemy of the Western civilization or the white race are idiots. If they really want to advance the Western civilization, then they would be contributing to it in a
    positive way. There are many things that need to be done. Attacking the Jews is not one of them. Actually do something valuable for your civilization, then claim to have its best interests at heart.
