The Chosen People and anti-Semitism

Most Jews are unable to adequately explain the concept of Jewish election to outsiders. Most Gentiles think Jews feel they are better than others because G-d chose them.

ed note–as we like to say here often, the ‘Jewish question’ is not as difficult to discern or deconstruct as we are led (by the Jews themselves) to believe. It really all boils down to a few basic protocols–

1. Jewish narcissism as characterized by the ‘we are the chosen people’ paradigm,

2. The elitist and narcissistic behavior (oftentimes criminal, violent, and irrational) that inevitably flows from the elitist and narcissistic mindset that embraces the notion of being ‘chosen’, and

3. The unwillingness on the part of these elitist and narcissistic elements to climb down from the exalted position they have created for themselves and deal fairly and squarely with others, or as famously put by Jesus Christ, the singular man most hated by the Chosen–

‘…Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.

As far as the piece itself, it is a typical, text-book case example of the thousands-of-years-old Judaic mental illness which we like to refer to here as ‘Jtosis’. However, just like a broken clock being right twice a day, our unesteemed Hebraic author does manage to hit the bulls-eye, although he fails to fully grasp the implications of just what he inadvertently blurted out in black and white letters for the entire world to see–

‘ this election (being ‘chosen’)  is probably one of the roots of anti-Judaism.’

Well, what more can we say about that other than–

WHAM, BAAM, THANK YOU MAAM.

In other words, Gentiles dislike of Jews throughout history–otherwise mis-named as ‘anti-Shemitism’–is not ‘racist’ in nature but rather–as our unesteemed Hebraic author states plainly–is due entirely to the elitist and narcissistic behavior (oftentimes criminal, violent, and irrational) that inevitably flows from the elitist and narcissistic mindset that embraces the notion of being ‘chosen’ and is therefore not some ‘irrational’ hatred as Jewish hasbaratchiks like to claim.

IN OTHER WORDS

‘Anti-Shemitism’ is brought on by the Jews themselves, and anytime they truly want it ‘eradicated’, the ball is in their court to do so simply by detoxifying themselves of their Judaism and of its elitist and narcissistic behavior  that is oftentimes criminal, violent, and irrational.

Israel National News

Two days ago I remarked to my 6-year old daughter that I love the God of Israel. She fumed and cried out “Not only people in Israel love God, but other people too!” This remark provoked an epiphany.

If a 6-year child who has been raised in a heavily philo-Semitic environment feels aggravated by God’s special relationship with the Jewish people, this election is probably one of the roots of anti-Judaism.

The rabbinical sages were conscious of this reality and thus drew parallels between the word Sinai and the Hebrew word “sináh” which means hatred. Their inference was that hatred of the Jewish people is rooted in God’s election of the Jewish people at Mount Sinai.

It would nevertheless be wrong to take this teaching at face value. The Chinese, Japanese, Hungarians and Armenians each believe in different ways they are chosen nations. The fact no other nation believes them saves them from the envy and resentment faced by Jews.

Historically Christians and Muslims claimed they replaced Jews as God’s chosen people. This implicit acknowledgement of Jewish election was crucial in turning many Muslims and Christians into anti-Semites.

Christians in the past hated Jews bitterly for their refusal to accept God’s “new Covenant”. It was only after Hitler murdered 6 million Jews that most Christians ceased hating Jews. Christian attitudes have been reformed by shame and guilt for the Holocaust taking place in Christian Europe. However it is no less true that after Auschwitz most Christians do not feel threatened by Jews’ special relationship with God.

Nowadays Muslims tend to hate Jews with a passion out of all proportion to Zionist actions. One of the reasons for this hatred is that Zionist success and Muslim failures discredit Islam’s claims to superseding Judaism. This threatens its doctrine that the Islamic Umma is God’s chosen community.

Secular totalitarian ideologies such as Nazism and Communism also hated Jews due to their rival narratives of election. The Nordic race and the international proletariat could not brook any competition from a Semitic nation of traders and merchants.

The roots of hostility towards Jews thus lie in Gentile recognition of the election of the Jewish people. This also explains why anti-Semitism is largely absent among Hindus and Buddhists, who ignore this election.

The fact anti-Judaism is partially motivated by a Jewish doctrine is encouraging. If anti-Judaism were solely due to social, political and economic factors extrinsic to Judaism, Jews could do little to remedy the situation. This is demonstrably untrue. The problem can be addressed by educating non-Jews on the genuine meaning of Jewish election.

Regrettably, most Jews are still unable to adequately explain the concept of Jewish election to outsiders. Jews therefore tend to downplay or deny this concept, fueling Gentile suspicions that Jews are not candid about their faith and pushing many Jews to abjure a key tenet of their religion.

Every Jew should be able to state that Jewish election was sealed between God and the Jewish people at Mt. Sinai, and involves Jewish obedience to numerous restrictions in return for divine blessings and protection. The fact these blessings have historically often not been forthcoming, bearing witness to how severely God punishes lax Jewish adherence to divine law.

Claims that divine election is racist must be countered by conversations on how Judaism welcomes sincere converts. Jews should also publicize the 7 Noahide Laws that enable ethical people outside the tent of Judaism to attain salvation. Jews could proudly point out that their religion does not restrict the afterlife to coreligionists.

These elements are essential to refuting the anti-Semitic libel that Jews view themselves as Übermenschen. Indeed, it is high-time the world realizes that no nation has embraced its spiritual mission with more abnegation and self-sacrifice than the Jewish people. Centuries of persecution have only cemented Jewish resolve to fight for global peace, freedom and justice. This is the reason the Chosen People’s relationship with God is, always was and will forever be a blessing for all humanity.
