ed note–as we say here often, one cannot understand the state of the world today without understanding the nature of Jewish power, and one cannot understand the nature of Jewish power until one understands the nature of Jewish thinking.
And, as with all things, this requires going back to the beginning, back to that ‘prime mover’ that set the whole ball a-rolling. As it pertains to the world today and how Jewish power is the product of Jewish thinking, the ‘spark’ that began the inferno that now threatens to engulf the entirety of God’s green earth is manifested in 2 portions of the ‘holy of holies’ as far as ‘Jewish literature’ is concerned, to wit–
‘I will bless those who bless thee, and curse those who curse thee…’ Genesis 12:3
And–
‘When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are to possess and casts out the many peoples living there, you shall then slaughter them all and utterly destroy them…You shall save nothing alive that breathes, for you are a holy people unto the LORD thy God and He has chosen you to be a special people above all others upon the face of the earth…’ Book of Deuteronomy
And while it is true that there are many, many other passages within said ‘literature’ that contribute greatly towards Jewish thinking that is then manifested in Jewish power, it is these 2 passages in particular that ‘set the stage’ for everything else, in that they represent the notion of self-worship, self-adulation, and unbridled narcissism, mental poisons that, once they work their way into the bone marrow of a person or a group of people, then becomes a green light for every conceivable act of depravity, criminality, and aberrant behavior, a ‘condition’ which Jesus Himself addressed the last few days of His life when He cursed the Pharisees saying–
‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are…You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every impurity…In the same way, you appear to be righteous on the outside, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.…’
Remember, to a self-worshipping person/people, no one else counts. Only their own suffering, their own pain, and their own inconvenience matter, and even if it is nothing more than a stubbed toe. Gentiles don’t count, because, as the rabbis teach and as Judah-ism itself makes Kristol clear, they are mere ‘donkeys in human form,’ created by yahweh to make the lives of Jews better.
Therefore, within the Judaic paradigm, it could be a million Gentiles, 6 million, a billion or all 8 billion of them slaughtered like sheep, but comparatively, it doesn’t even begin to add up to ‘one Jewish fingernail’, and for proof that indeed this is the case, one need look no further than what is taking place in the world right now, where every life hangs in the balance over one tiny, seemingly insignificant substratum of inhumanity who have forced the entire world to focus the totality of all human energy, time, resources, and attention on tending to their needs and ceding to their demands.
Bat-Zion Susskind-Sacks for the Times of Israel
As Jews in Israel prepare to commemorate the Shoah, AKA the “Holocaust,” I keep pondering about a very sad trend that we are witnessing. It is the growing disparagement of this most horrific chapter in human history, the one perpetrated against the Jews.
My sentiments were seconded by a person who is an expert on the subject, Amir Ben Dror. Amir conducted a tour and workshop, which I attended along with other teachers, in Yerushalayim recently. I spoke to him last night. This article is the product of that conversation.
Amir and I wish to make one point very clear lest some of the readers here may take offence with our stance. We are not proud that our Jewish people were the target of such heinous crimes committed by the Nazis and their collaborators. We do, however, believe that the growing number of groups religious, ethnic and other, who adopt the term “Holocaust” in order to describe crimes carried out against them, is unmerited and somewhat disrespectful towards us Jews.
Of course Amir and I are aware that millions of others who suffered and died unjustly in the hands of tyrants and butchers carry deep scars as a result of them.
Such actions, although maybe qualifying as genocides, nevertheless cannot be called a “Holocaust” or “Shoah.”
The term Holocaust is the term that Jews themselves have chosen to describe their fate during World War II and its etymological substratum interposes a specifically Jewish interpretation. The word derives from the Greek holokauston, the Septuagint’s translation for the Hebrew Olah, literally ‘what is brought up,’ rendered in English as ‘an offering made by fire unto the Lord,’ ‘burnt offering,’ or ‘whole burnt offering.’
Why then was the word “Holocaust” selected to describe what was done to the Jews?
According to Amir, it is precisely because of its unique nature. It was not just “another” genocide in the timeline of history, past present and future.
According to Amir, other genocides all occurred as a result of a conflict.
Not the Holocaust! The Holocaust, he claims, was carried out against the Jews for the mere fact that they were born. In Germany, where the Holocaust started and in Europe where it resumed, the Jews were in conflict with no one. They were never a threat to anyone. Hence there was a need to create a new term to describe such systematic massive killings which stemmed from pure, sheer hatred.
Personally, I am not in favor of the choice of term. The reason is twofold. The first is that I do not see the Jewish victims of the Nazi killing machine as a “sacrifice”, or a “burnt offering.” Sacrifice for what? Burnt offering for what? I am still searching for the answer.
Secondly, as before, I keep wondering why we Jews need to choose Hellenistic/heathen terms to describe what is unique to us only. For me, therefore, there is only one word to describe that ghastly episode in my people’s history. It is the Hebrew word “Shoah.”
It captures the pain, the suffering, the stories and the essence of the very distinctive nature of the event, and is not something to be cheapened by applying it to Gentiles.

Hmmm
There have been literally dozens of “holocausts” throughout history where entire races have been subjected to genocide. Certainly American Jews need look no further than the American Indians. Entire tribes were slaughtered including every man women and child.
The last time I looked the record books recorded that nearly 2 Million Jews requested aid in Germany and Austria in the immediate aftermath of the war. Not to mention that nearly half a million Jews turned up in Palestine during and after the war. Those numbers are living proof that whatever else may have happened to the Jews during WWII they did not suffer the same horrible fate of so many Indian Tribes in America.
And in terms of sheer numbers, even taking the Jewish numbers at face value pale in comparison to the nearly 80 Million Christians that died as a result of WWII. And if one were to apply the official well documented Red Cross records kept throughout the war providing detailed documentation that less than half a million people died in the various camps during the war the disparity is far greater. . Regardless of which perspective one chooses to apply here, Jewish deaths pale in comparison to sheer size and scope of Christian deaths. The bottom line is that the Jewish community is still trying to sell the rest of the world on the idea that a Jewish death is some how or another more important than a gentiles death. Furthermore, they continue to express outrage when the rest of the world to doesn’t share that view.
The world needs a new metric. Homicides per capita. That would be the number of civilians murdered by rogue state governments yearly. I am quite sure Israel and the US would be at the top of the list for any year you’d care to examine. I am getting sick of paying taxes to arm serial killers.
The Holocaust is just as real, and just as bad as the destruction of Princess Leia’s home world of Alderaan.
How revolting. That holohoax word.
