On Some Motivations for Jewish Behavior

Polar Bear: Some Jews act like total victims for being ghettoized and badged. It’s interesting that many Jews want to be distinguished and isolated.

Jewish humor is said to come from little Jew towns, shtetls, in Poland.

Jews often take both sides. Many Jews backed Napoleon but at the same time many Jews backed Russia. Seems like a theme, Jews always take both sides.

The big Russian bear seems to spew Jews out after awhile. I know at least one Tsar wanted them sent back to Poland and later on Stalin wasn’t a fan either.

Bit by bit.

Some Jews act like total victims for being ghettoized and badged.

I dunno. How would you like to be forced to wear a yellow star badge? I don’t think I would like that very much.

It is interesting that they built some of those ghettos themselves! Apparently to keep Jewish women from having sex with Gentile men. They didn’t care too much about Jewish men having sex with Gentile women. Any offspring would be simply lost to the Jews, as the kid would have a Gentile mother and he couldn’t be Jewish. The man would keep on living with the Jews.

This is actually correct. And do you know how poor those Jews were? They were very poor and their villages were basically overpopulated. Supposedly people hate Jews for being rich, but these Jews were as poor as dogs. And they got murdered just the same as all the others! You wonder what motivated murderous antisemites.

They killed the rich Jews. They killed the poor Jews.

They killed the degenerate Jews. They killed the deeply religious Jews.

They killed the nation-sellers and dual loyalists Jews. They killed the deeply patriotic Jews.

Basically if you were a Jew, you were screwed. Screwed from birth all because you chose the wrong parents.

You know, in their defense, I will say that a persecuted minority might do well to hedge their bets in any conflict. That way whoever wins, you can always say you supported the winners. A group like that doesn’t want to be seen as backing the losing side because there is often retribution against losing sides in wars.

A lot of people are fence-sitters in wars. In the Salvadoran Civil War, 1/3 supported the government, 1/3 supported the rebels, and 1/3 were sitting on the fence with their finger to the wind. My Mom said that the Revolutionary War was the same. 1/3 were with the Americans, 1/3 were with the British, and 1/3 were hedging their bets by being neutral.

I’m told you need a minimum of 1/3 support for any revolution to be successful. And you will need to turn the army. In successful revolutions, the state soldiers drop their guns and go join the rebels. When that starts happening, it’s all over!

Morals and values aside, in a war, a civilian mostly just wants to survive. And that might just mean siding with whichever side wins, whether they are good guys or bad guys or your guys or their guys, none of it matters. A lot of people reasonably just want to support whoever wins.

I saw a photograph taken when ISIS was attacking Ramadi in Iraq. There was a large group of young men who were still in the city who apparently had not been drafted. Most countries don’t draft all their young men, you know. They were posing in a wild, ragged group, and some of them had automatic weapons. They said they were ready to support whichever side was winning, either ISIS or the state. I was shocked that they were so honest about it.

Soldiers are like that too. Once one side starts getting its butt kicked and losing badly, often a lot of the soldiers and even officers will go over to the other side. Soldiers switch sides in wars a lot, especially when one side is losing badly.

I think one of the Czars in the ~1880’s was like that. He was very bad for the Jews. I think he tried to throw a lot of them out of country, even the ones who were living in his own Pale. This is where the phrase “beyond the pale” comes from. I think he organized a lot of pogroms against Jews too. He was big-time bad news for Russian Jews.

I recently read an account of a British journalist who went to cover the Russian Civil War on the side of the Whites or the Royalists. He was stunned at their obsessive and conspiratorial antisemitism. He thought their antisemitism was so extreme that they were crazies. If you want to know why Russian Jews went over to the Bolsheviks, there you go. And if you want to know why Jews outside of Russia were opposed to the Whites in the Civil War, there you are. The Royalists were antisemites!

It’s also a lie to say that Russian Jews were Bolsheviks. Sure, a lot of the Bolsheviks were Jews but not as many as people say, and there were just as many Latvians as Jews in the high ranks. Yeah. Latvians! So go start a pogrom against Latvians then.

In 1917 in the last election before the October Revolution, 70% of Jews voted for the Zionist political party, not even for socialists, much less Communists. The Rightists say that rich Jewish bankers outside Russia backed Bolshevism, but that’s got to be BS. No rich anyone anywhere backs Communists! Why would they?

I do believe that the rich Jews outside Russia supported the more socialist or social democratic formations in play at the time though. Those parties were quite popular. One was called the Mensheviks.

A lot of those Czars had been antisemites or at the very least, antisemitism flourished under the Jews.

I’ve heard the Czars used antisemitism as a scapegoat so whenever popular resentment against the state developed, the Czars, instead of addressing the issues in one way or another, simply tried to distract people towards the Jews. It’s like peasants are mobbing some landlord demanding his head and he stops them and points in the distance, pointing out some Jews, and says, “Look, Jews! Your enemies! Go get them!” As in, go get them instead of me. Politicians use this sleazy distraction method all the time.
