Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

America’s Europeanizing Antisemitism

By

American leftists are going the suicidal way of Europe.

America’s decline was a generation behind Europe. Now we’re where Europe used to be.

Why are Hamas rioters running around major cities? American cities are now also populated by unemployed grad students who alternate between sitting in cafes and throwing firebombs at police in their hip districts and mobs of foreign migrants squatting entire neighborhoods. The native working class is sinking into despair and drug abuse in the rural and industrial hinterlands even as those areas are being overrun by third worlders who dominate the local economies.

The older generation still remembers a glorious past while the younger generation never knew it. It exists in a world of transnational pop songs and has been taught that nationalism is the greatest evil. Military service and religious belief have become fringe attitudes to deplore.

An insecure middle class despairing of economic success has embraced socialism along with every cultural leftist fetish, and is alternately enthused and terrified of what it has unleashed. Every new degeneracy is added to the dogma of the ‘In This House’ lawn sign that defines what they have left behind and what they are headed toward. The latest addition is Hamas.

Europeanization has brought with it the cringing antisemitism that used to baffle Americans when they saw it in London, Paris and Berlin. Why did European elites celebrate ‘Palestinian’ terrorism? How could formerly great nations live in terror of what some Imam in the European version of Dearborn, Michigan thought about Israel, Mohammed cartoons or the next election?

Now we know.

The elimination of Jews from public life that began among European elites after 9/11 has come to America. It’s playing out in much the same way with furious denunciations of Israel and the normalization of Hamas. American college students in New York or LA chanting for Islamic terrorists are acting much the way their counterparts in London were doing 25 years ago.

Muslim mass migration is only part of the story. As is campus radicalism. Campus culture has become campus monoculture because higher education is becoming pointless. College students don’t go to learn anything useful, but as a coming of age ritual for a social class. There was a time when the American educational system was producing the next generation of scientists, now it’s producing the next generation of HR specialists and consultants.

America used to be a rocketship with a bureaucracy tying it down, now, like Europe it’s a bureaucracy which is occasionally baffled when a rocketship manages to unexpectedly take off.

The student radicals know that they’re bureaucrats in-waiting. Disguise their titles however they may, their job will be to write memos explaining why people shouldn’t do things. And few things are more likely to make Marxists out of them. It’s a misnomer to think that radicalism comes from the working class. Lenin, Marx, Fidel and Mao are among the many examples that show it’s the inept children of the upper classes who go on to become tyrants.

A generation ago, Europeans had no hope for the future and embraced destruction. The last time American college students were persuaded that Camelot had fallen and there was no future, they went mad. The new generation has long since been persuaded of it and they’ve being megadosed with radical politics and pharmaceuticals while they wait for the world to end.

Getting blonde Ivy League co-eds to chant for Hamas is not a heavy lift after their foremothers chanted for the Viet Cong who were killing their brothers and cousins. What is more revealing is the degree to which social elites and suburbanite liberals are willing to join in the antisemitism. Western radicalism stopped being aspirational once the decline kicked in and became  cowardice and despair with white leftists outsourcing the violence to minority groups.

The leftists want someone to burn down society and take over, but they know it won’t be them. Whether it’s BLM or Islam matters less than living vicariously through the fall of the new Rome.

That timid radicalism could long ago be seen among Euros who loudly declared that America had it coming after 9/11 and then blamed their own governments when Muslim bombs tore apart their cities. Leftists have become Quislings whose only objective is finding an enemy willing to do the job of destroying capitalism and civilization that they no longer feel up to doing.

The tame liberal middle class applauds the spectacle with uncertain enthusiasm. They’ve been told that burning the cities and letting terrorists take over is the right side of history. Few of them are certain exactly how, but their unemployed kids and non-denominational clergy toting the rainbow symbols of their faith have assured them that this is the only way to redemption.

And at least all the rage, the carnage and the rallies make them feel like they’re winning.

Standing up to the foreign mobs assaulting their women, robbing them blind and taking over their countries is scary, but sneering at America and ranting about Israel is entirely safe. It’s even heartening because it makes them feel better about losing their countries to see some other civilized countries go down along with them. The peculiar thing about collaboration is that it’s rarely a shameful act. The collaborator feels a sense of pleasure and moral superiority.

Underneath it is that same sense of despair.

No one collaborates if they think they’re leaving a winning cause for a losing cause. The blonde co-ed chanting for Hamas in Boston or Brussels is attracted to what looks like the winning side. Islamic terrorists appear to have conviction and a plan to take over. To a lot of the future elites in a declining society that seems more appealing than the moral ambiguity all around them.

The pleasures of collaboration includes being able to participate in at least some of the shameful activities of the new movement. Aligning with Islamic terrorists licenses antisemitism. But then most radical causes do. Jews are an easy target, but only the first of many. The whole point of antisemitism is to normalize all the other horrible things that will come after.

Just ask Mohammed, Adolf and Joe. Or your average social media grifter who has rediscovered the wonders of Communism, National Socialism or a society based on human sacrifice.

Americans still mostly find this incomprehensible, but not nearly as much as they used to. The line between good and evil is often hope. The Brits, the Germans and the French used to believe that they were great peoples with a destiny to change the world. How many still do?

Obama wasn’t entirely wrong with his sneering dismissal of American exceptionalism. Every people does like to believe that it’s exceptional. But unfortunately only some are. The belief itself can keep a people going, but there comes a time when either the people or the belief become unsustainable. The British turned from the war to embrace socialism, to recede and decline, and you don’t have to squint to see America stumbling through government industrial subsidies, failed unionization, declining global power, loss of faith and finally all hope in the future.

Antisemitism is part of the package of decline. Societies on the upswing can be antisemitic, but  obsessive rises in antisemitism are symptomatic of people searching for someone to take it out on. A liberal middle class embracing socialism and abandoning the future turns blinkered and confuses its newfound enthusiasms for sexual fetishes and foreign radicalism for dynamism. It spends all its money, takes vacations, gets drunk, and lives in a fug of perpetual student politics.

Eventually, despite generous doses of local vintages, reality sets in. There’s no right side of history to be found at drag queen story hour or the latest Welcome Refugees rally. The closing act of radicalism is to bring down the curtain on the unfortunate infected society. That’s the point at which people either wake up or scream at their Jewish colleague to stop bombing Gaza. As ugly as this sort of hate is for the Jewish upper middle class that is shocked when fellow parents, professors and colleagues turn on them: it’s uglier still for the perpetrators.

The nice old liberal ladies holding up signs urging Hamas to bomb Tel Aviv are not there because they expect a happy future. Their wandering hysterical self-righteousness has soured into malice. They know not so much whom they hate as what and whom they fear. They’ve lost their countries, their causes and their futures to the very people they hope will kill off the Jews.

The growth of this toxic fungus here is not just bad news for Jews, it’s bad news for America. Aspirational liberalism has given way to defeatist radicalism, feverish conspiracy theories about Russians controlling Trump, Jews controlling Congress, rising oceans and Facebook disinformation alongside UFOs, flat earths and every other sort of madness. These are all various flavors of despair projected into excuses for imposing tyranny and terrorizing people.

The normalization of Hamas in upper class American liberal circles is just another death wish. The arrival of European antisemitism isn’t a shot in the arm for the Left: it’s a shot in the head.

Comments

  1. In every Leftist there’s something missing. I came to this conclusion decades ago and nothing has presented itself which has made me think I should change my mind about this.

    • I agree with you, the missing part is called a BRAIN , something that those lefty scum have been born without

      • This embrace of Jihad terror is even worse–they are also missing hearts in this case.

  2. this by Mr. Greenfield makes me think of one thing. An arsonist watching the building burn, his eyes glowing, his pulse racing, a large grin on his greedy lips.
    when there is nothing but ashes, blackened timbers reaching toward the rising smoke, fireman putting the last few embers out, the arsonist begins to feel his excitement and glee turn into despair.
    Until the next fire he lights.

    • Well said @SH my friend. A wise comment indeed.

      It is almost as if the satanic criminal ruling elites & the islamomarxist marching mob handed activists, would rather ignite the flames & see all burn to the ground around them, than the decent, safe, healthy & peaceful opposite.

      They are so filled with hate & evil. There societal arsonism actt is deliberate. As ‘normal’ folks of all colours & creeds are becoming more aware of their malignant intent, it seems their prefered option is a literal scorched earth policy.
      “If we can’t have a commie coloured caliphate then we would rather destroy it all.”

      Maybe with all the flames, they are preparing for what happens when they have failed?

      DANIEL 7:10 KJV
      ‘A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.’

      Flame on!

      • Thank you, Hudders, for putting my comment into plain language.
        And especially for the quote from Daniel; very fitting.

        • Your comments are always understandable & relatable.
          It is your passion, knowledge & plain speak that inspires me to reply.
          Thank YOU & God bless.

        • Thank you, Hudders. ‘that’s such a great compliment.
          May He bless you. I pray.

  4. Again, remember that young people (i.e. emotionally excitable, inexperienced, and under-informed people) think they are looking at just one thing when they are presented with a spectacle like October 7th. That is: a dispossessed people who were unjustly done out of their own native region and their own chance to become a country by white colonizers who have repeatedly used violence against them whenever they attempted to assert or regain their rights, who are making perfectly legitimate use of force to end the theft of their territory and achieve the statehood they should have had when the Lebanese, the Syrians, the Jordanians, and the Iraqis, got theirs.

    This poisonous parody of how Israel was actually created has the power of a spell with minds given to simplistic readings of complicated facts, and this spell has the power to obliterate the criminality of Israel’s enemies, shunt aside the role of religious fanaticism in organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, and make any cowardly outrage (like using torture and rape as among the weapons with which mass murder is perpetrated) look like heroic resistance to injustice.

    Whether the thinking part of the world can ever come up with enough corrective to this menace, and get the corrective out there and sufficiently influential, is doubtful, and I’m not sure that Hugh Fitzgerald’s constant appeals to the British Mandate are quite the ticket. I’ll say this though: I am constantly thankful the Jihadwatch is here to bring what light can be brought onto the subject, for those willing to look at it. I just wish something more could be done.

    • Israel’s coming into being in 1948 is not complicated. Israel is actually a decolonization project- in part. What Israel is in essence is what the world refuses to believe and understand. Understanding the story of Israel is understanding God’s relationship to humankind. Not many can deal with that truth!

  5. This is what happens when religion is lost and people are told to do whatever feels good.
    No purpose in life.
    Note that it is the religious communities in the US that are not the problem – that is, those that recognize G-d and not the Wizard of Wokeness.

  6. The good thing here is that unlike the mainstream “Right” wing parties in Europe, such as the Tories in UK or the CDU in Germany, the GOP has been taken back by people who reject the Bush message of “islam is good”. Some states, like Virginia & Michigan might still do muslim outreach simply due to the numbers involved, but just like the Bush doctrine has been discredited, so has the other Bush message that islam is good & peaceful

    We need to reinstitute the travel ban once Trump returns, and deport not only every foreign pro-Hamas demonstrator but also expand the ban to cover countries previously not covered eg Bangladesh, Pakistan, Qatar, Turkey, Kuwait, “Palestine”……

    • ࿗Infidel࿘ says,

      “We need to reinstitute the travel ban once Trump returns…”

      Yes.

      But this time around, he should not list the countries that are BANNED but, instead, list the countries whose people are ALLOWED into the United States – after comprehensive vetting.

    • Ok, just to clarify and I’m asking you to think, really think before replying…this has nothing to do with optimism or pessimism, but reality, so please don’t write back with that “you’ve given up shi*”. because…realistically, deporting ANY of them, from any country, that came here illegally and LEGALLY, and wish to do this country harm, will not happen, period. Not even counting the legals that wish us harm, ALL illegals (that’s 15M-20M+ and counting, with few token exceptions) have been given the funding, paperwork and approval to go underground and they will not emerge until it’s time for them to act, whatever that means to them at the time. Short of a civil war, the USA is going the way of most of Europe and will be there soon. We have lost this internal war because there is NO ONE fighting it, period, except in writing, on forums like this. These forums do NOT win wars, especially against this type of enemy. You think Trump can reverse anything? He cannot, it’s gone, we have lost and it’s time to accept that unless…again, SHORT OF A CIVIL WAR, we cannot (meaning won’t) even stop an individual from walking over the border and in to this country, or walking into a store and stealing everything they can, or some lunatic taking their warped agenda and getting “elected” on it, to now legally ensure their agenda is carried out. SHORT OF A CIVIL WAR, in the USA and most of Europe, we WILL NOT (and this is key) and thus cannot stop antifa, blm, cair, or any other anti-USA group from carrying out its’ mission, period. Trump will be lucky to save himself, much less this country. This unattended pot has been boiling too long, this frog is cooked, and the only variable as to why we’re not in the exact same situation and timeline as Europe now, is the fact that you and I have a gun…for now…so again without, say it with me, A CIVIL WAR, meaning DC is gone, uprooted, turned over, razed, obliterated, nothing changes and only gets worse!

  7. Maybe this is a non-sequitur but always on this planet anti-Semitism and self-hate are inextricably fused. Invariably, inexorably and inevitably. That might be my only scientifically empirical observation I ever make in my life but it appears irrefutable in my mind and beyond any doubt.

  8. No Ddaniel, I do not feel sorry for these perpetrators. Thev are doing evil and enjoying it.
    Screw them.

  9. It is Satanism unleashed! Globalist Western Elites, Marxism, and Islam are the system of the beast.

  10. America’s Europeanizing Antisemitism
    ………………………………………

    Deeply troubling. That so many of these thugs have been *inspired* by the Jihad terror attacks of 10/7–including beheading of babies and kidnapping of women and using them as sex slaves is especially alarming.

  11. Our governments and the mainstream media are the ones who should educate the public in telling the truth and history as it is writeen.
    The BBC in Britain is still not referring HAMAS as a terrorist group.
    Also ask the question where have the Billions in money and Aid given to the Palestinians all over the world for decades now being spent on?
    Not in building infrastructure and in the wellbeing of the Palestinian people, but in guns, rockets, ammunitions and in vast underground tunels to attack Israel citizens .
    Donating to Gaza is donating to HAMAS is funding terrorism.

    • If Hamas had used that money properly, instead of embezzling it and investing it in terrorism, they could have made Gaza as well-developed as Malaysia or Chile, if not Singapore.

      The problem though, is that they are supremely egocentric, hateful and greedy bigots, who mindlessly loathe Jews and Israelis, and don’t give a damn about regular Palestinians, except to use them as propaganda points against Israel.

  12. You are all missing the point.Hamas wants to defame the Jews in Israel.They managed by daily publishing how many women and children the Israelis kill every day for more than a year trying to eliminate Hamas terrorists embedded in schools , hospitals and in tunnels under the buildings that they COMMIT GENOCIDE which generates sympathy and support for Hamas around the world.
