Weaponizing Antisemitism: From Victim to Predator, by Alan Sabrosky

Back in 2010, I published a short essay on “The Complicated Faces of Anti-Semitism.” The genesis (if I may use that term in a secular sense!) was a conversation I had had with a Jewish friend – a judge – about why Jews had been the object of so much maltreatment and hatred throughout history, as she characterized the Jewish condition.

I responded (to briefly recapitulate) by asking her what was wrong with Jews? (I had never mentioned that I was Jewish on my father’s side, because that had never meant much to either him or me.) My question startled her, and she asked just what did I mean by that statement. So I proceeded to put it in personal terms. If a few people I met disliked me, I could easily put it down to some problem they had. But if virtually everyone I met hated my guts, it would be extremely difficult for me not to acknowledge – grudgingly or otherwise – that there was something fundamentally wrong with me or with how I behaved. Same thing applied to Jews on a macro level.


As you can imagine, that assessment did not exactly endear me to my soon-to-be-former friend. I compounded it by adding that Jews had made done many charitable works and made many notable achievements in many different fields, and spare me the hackneyed “but all Jews are….” nonsense. Those charities and achievements are a matter of historical record.


So are the darker things that some of them have done, and are doing today, here and abroad. This is especially true whenever Israel or anything associated with it enters the equation: then, those good qualities mostly fly out the window. On such occasions, most Jews, here and elsewhere, not only tolerated but extolled behavior by Israel as a country and by individual Israelis that they would never tolerate or celebrate here, or in any other country where they reside.


My Original Three Faces of Antisemitism


When I initially examined this topic, I identified three forms of historical antisemitism. One was a dislike of Jews as a people or Judaism as a religion, or both, usually because of some attributes they had or some way in which they behaved toward others. Another was opposition not so much to Jews and/or Judaism, but to an armed Jewish state (whatever it might be called). The third was the assertion by some Jews beginning in the late 1970s that any criticism of Israel, its leaders, its policies, its actions or anything any of its advocates and supports said or did, constituted the “new antisemitism.” In each of these instances, when I say “antisemitism” I mean allegations and/or accusations of antisemitism for any reason, not simply a blind, insensate hatred of Jews and/or Judaism, which historically is extremely rare.



The first has existed throughout recorded history. Part of it I suspect is simple envy, nut much of it is a reaction to an unusually bloody-minded view of others. Deuteronomy and Judges are awash in carnage, and the former (Chs. 5 & 7) gives scriptural justification for genociding people who simply worship differently. Some (all?) Jewish religious holidays (Hanukkah, Purim) have pretty sanguinary antecedents or overtones – I have seen many similar images from different places, and even Passover is predicated on mass infanticide. And that is Torah. To say that the Talmud (sort of a complementary commentary by notable rabbis) in its entirety is downright appalling is an understatement. Having read portions of it over the years, I can understand why Jews do not encourage the goyim (non-Jews) to do likewise.



Quite the contrary: Jewish disdain for Christians in particular (made explicit in the Talmud) is as great as their desire for political and financial support from them, and extends (or descends) from theology to cheap theater, as this clip from a long-running Israeli TV show suggests. I wonder if the people in CUFI (Christians United for Israel) know this?

Rome demonstrated the second form during its imperial days. The Roman Empire demanded obedience, expected taxes to be paid, and mandated religious tolerance to permit its diverse peoples to move and live therein. It finally tired of dealing with a rebellious and religiously intolerant people, and ultimately put its own “final solution” into effect: it razed Jerusalem and destroyed the Second Temple, dismembered the state encompassing it, and dispersed the inhabitants – but did nothing to Jews living, and often flourishing, throughout the rest of the Empire. Precisely why the Romans did not deal with the Jews within as completely as they did (e.g.) the Carthaginians without is something about which I have often wondered.


Antisemitism Militant


So far, so good – or bad, depending on one’s perspective. Theologically. Judaism isn’t quite a companion of that of the old Aztecs, but it has more than enough bloodshed and darkness within the books of the Torah that Christianity would have done better going from Genesis to the Gospels, and the Talmud is replete with outright nastiness. Combining that with the power of a state – any power, any state – is a mortal danger to that state’s neighbors, and any others it can reach.


Where I went wrong in my original discussion was to misunderstand the complexity of that “new antisemitism” and to underestimate its ramifications and sociopolitical reach. The third form of antisemitism was initially almost a passive defense mechanism, not widely shared and limited in application. Sometime between the end of the Reagan Administration and that of Obama, it spawned a more active and proactive variant. Together they now constitute the shield and sword of a militant hyper-Zionism, with Israel as its current home base and the United States as its enforcer of the moment.


This manifests itself in many different ways in many different countries, and an overview of its complexity is in Figure 4. Now, I am primarily concerned with the United States, but a bit of perspective is important. It needs to be understood that it is not at all clear whether communism was an outgrowth of modern Zionism, as depicted in the chart, or its precursor. Marxism (or communism, as we in the U.S. called it – and yes, I am aware of the distinctions then and now) predated modern Zionism, although the idea itself was not new. But Jews figured prominently in both movements virtually from their beginnings, with something verging on synergistic interdependence as the 20th century dawned.



For example, when Lenin left Switzerland for Russia in 1917, he took with him fifty-odd Bolsheviks who had also been in exile, all Jews, most of whom had leading roles in the first Soviet government. Marxist Jews elsewhere in Europe led uprisings (all ultimately failing) at the end and in the aftermath of the First World War. Moreover, as nearly as I can tell, every communist party in Europe, as well as the United States and apartheid-era South Africa (I am not sure about Canada, Australia and New Zealand) was founded and led by Jews. And in the aftermath of World War II, many of these and their Jewish members took a strongly pro-Zionist stance (I cannot find hard numbers on how many emigrated to Israel – I would appreciate it if someone has them) that did not extend to open support of Israel. This resulted in an odd inconsistency in both Soviet Russian and Israeli policy with regard to their international alignment and Jewish emigration from the USSR to Israel that I would like to explore further in the future.


The Rush to Radicalism



Over the centuries, Jews overall have acquired a well-deserved reputation for disruption, in addition to other more admirable qualities. Virtually every social disorder afflicting the West in general and especially he United States today, for example, appeared in the Weimar Republic of Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s. Cities like San Francisco now mirror Hamburg then. Pick your extremism or perversion, they had it then as we have it today. Then as now, Jews figured conspicuously in all of those movements (please ignore background image in Figure 5). And then as now, social and economic disorder was seen by its architects as something to be exploited to their own advantage, independent of its impact on the population as a whole.



Today, as before, the prevailing strains of political radicalism and societal perversion run strong and deep. Simply review the very long list of activities in which Jews have the lead and/or are principal financiers: radical feminism, the so-called “critical race theory,” the racist and destructive “Black Lives Matter” extortion scam, Antifa, promotion of gender dysphoria and pedophilia, are just a few of the entries on an appalling list of shame. Nor does the old affinity for communism give any evidence of waning – one wonders what a Hollywood dominated by (e.g.) Ukrainian expatriates from the 1`930s on would say about “Uncle Joe” and his minions?



The Pursuit of Power


As in the early Soviet Union, the quest for economic power extended to political power and influence in the greater society of all Western countries. I’ll only look here at the United States, but the situation is much the same throughout all of Western Europe and much of Eastern Europe, as well as Canada and Australia and New Zealand. Indeed, if it were not so destructive of everything whites – pagans and Christians alike – had built over the centuries, one could almost admire the single-minded Jewish determination to dominate – a determination in which some innate consensus almost eclipses the need for conspiracy and cabal (and the operative word is “almost”).


What Jews have done in America and in so much of the West is what they tried to do in Germany during the aforementioned Weimar Republic, but here they have been more patient and more circumspect until very recently. In Germany before, they openly identified in their numbers with the communists, and advocated practices such as gender dysphoria and pedophilia (led by Magnus Hirshfeld and his colleagues of the Frankfurt School) before they were in a position to stave off critics and attacks. (They ended up fleeing the country when Hitler and his party came to power in the early 1930s – theirs were the books that were famously burned).


Not so here. Jews here founded the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and later took the lead in radical movements such as the “Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)” and the “Free Speech Movement” during the combined militancy of the antiwar and civil rights movements of the 1960s. But when their hoped-for revolution did not materialize, they went – well, not so much underground, but into a form of low-key radicalism, as I have discussed elsewhere. In this phase, they emphasized initially infiltration of universities and from them the critical professions they staffed: education and law first, then business and the faculties of higher education themselves.


The end result was that they gained control of the mainstream media, much of academe, and prominence in many other areas. This, combined with the growing prominence of two Jewish-led organizations (the Anti-Defamation League or ADL, and the Southern Poverty Law Center or SPLC) as arbiters of political acceptability, had the intended effect of ensuring that the American people rarely heard, read or saw anything critical of Israel. Interestingly enough, the ADL in particular is now openly joining the chorus of anti-white voices, and declaring that criticism of Antifa (recall its heritage) to be “hate speech.” Both it and the SPLC have become much more adept at defaming and ruining critics of causes they support, then of defending themselves or others against slander and abuse – enriching themselves and their leadership in the process.




To those who might say I am exaggerating Jewish power, I would say (quoting an individual who will remain nameless for his own protection): “I’ll stop believing its the Jews when people can say its the Jews in public, without having their lives destroyed by powerful Jews.” I expect Kanye West and some others in the black community who dared mention something those “powerful Jews” did not appreciate could add to that.




But it was not simply power in the media, academe, finance and the courts. There was a significant growth in direct Jewish participation in the government, no matter which party is in power, wholly different from the situation 60-odd years ago. For decades, Jewish groups such as the ADL and the SPLC had increasingly vetted nominees for political appointments. They could not always get the ones they supported, but they had an effective veto over ones they did not support – I speak from personal experience.


At this point in time , no one in either party can be a serious contender for the presidency in the face of Israeli (or Jewish, perhaps a distinction without a difference) opposition. And that includes DeSantis and Trump as well as Biden. No serious contender for any national office, with the partial and very occasional exception of the House of Representatives, dares criticize Israel or mention directly the Jewish role in everything bad that is happening – they talk around them, but few say the “I or “J” words critically. Not even former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (whom I generally and genuinely admire) or Senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr. They know what will happen if they do. And the same holds for governors like Kristi Noem and Greg Abbott, who understand full well the extent to which the power of organizations like ADL and SPLC and their cohorts extends into state governments – especially state legislatures.


As for the administrations themselves, for the last thirty years or so, they have been so heavily Jewish that one could relocate them to Tel Aviv and not notice the difference. Trump talked about “Making America Great Again,” but he was a far better president for Israel than he was in fact – if not in words – for the United States. Figure 13 depicts the Jewish representation in his cabinet; Figure 14 lists some of the principal things he did for Israel. Biden’s administration is no different, as a list of his principal Jewish cabinet members and an overview of the overwhelming Jewish presence among those charged with overseeing the response (such as it was) to the Covid-19 plandemic.






It is only amazing that the blue field and white stars on our flag has not been replaced with Israeli flag, considering that almost all of these officials – as well as most Jewish members of both houses of the Congress and many of the senior civil service officials – also have dual Israeli citizenship, and speak poenly of their “dual loyalty” (which in practice means loyalty to Israel first).


Replacement and racism as Political Tools



But there is another element that did not exist before, that implies very clearly that these Marxist Jews – those I have called hyper-Zionists – are playing the end game now. This entails the deliberate replacement of white populations everywhere they have been a majority, with a growing influx from Africa, Latin America and the Middle East – the so-called “Great Replacement.” Until 1965, US immigration policy was intended to maintain the essentially white majority and character of the country unchanged. After 1968, that began to change, and it was the Immigration Act of 1965 – the “lifetime achievement” (his own words) of a Jewish Congressman from New York City that set that transformation into motion.


The details and implications of this sea change in our formal immigration policy, along with the unfolding – and essential failure, as far as blacks in America were concerned – of the Civil Rights movement, can only be touched on briefly here. Suffice to say that they provided fuel for the simmering fire that was, and is, black crime in America, capped by six months of urban upheaval in 2020 following the death in police hands of a black career criminal named George Floyd, whose just-released final autopsy shows he died of a drug overdose, having enough fentanyl (among other drugs) in his body to kill three adult males or two Stacey Abrams. The Democrats did nothing to check the riots, nor did President Trump. Biden took office in the wake of a deeply flawed 2020 presidential election and an unarmed non-insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 (about which I will write a good deal more in a subsequent article). Afterwards, millions of illegals swarmed into the country, perhaps 7-10 million so far. Even worse, these illegals are often aided and recruited from places as far away as central Africa not only by left-wing organizations, but also by the very Department of Homeland Security whose supposed mission was to keep that from happening. Just coincidentally, the Secretary of Homeland Security is Jewish.


It should be understand that Jewish leaders use blacks as both a foil and as a distraction from themselves. They use them to attack whites and Asians so that they themselves are not in the forefront. And they use accusations of racism and hateful “whatever” against the critics of black misconduct, because the same people who criticize (e.g.) huge black crime rates are often the same people who condemn Jewish influence over our government.


The Jewish role in the campaigns against racism and “white supremacy” serves three purposes: (1) it sets whites against blacks within the US; (2) it elevates blacks at the expense of whites, who are seen as the principal obstacle to their ambitions; and (3) it further disrupts and diminishes American society and the largely white culture on which its success has been based.


Until very recently, Jews and Jewish groups in the US have not been quite as blatant as they are in Europe about the goal of racially mixing people from Africa and the Middle East with ethnic Europeans, until white majority countries simply do not exist. What has been termed the “Kaligi Plan” has been around since 1925, and its author became the founding president of the European Union and served in that capacity for 49 years.



One of many Jewish advocates of this policy went from America to Israel and then to Sweden – where she helped facilitate the social disaster afflicting that country. And a refrain repeated endlessly by prominent Jews and Jewish-led organizations is their very accurate understanding of the end result of this practice.



Yet given that the same type of people (Jewish globalists and Marxists) and many of the same organizations and movements are involved on all sides, it is reasonable to assume the worst. Biden has said – does he even know what he said? _ that it will be a good thing when whites are no longer a majority in this country. He has also repeatedly said that “white supremacy” is the greatest threat facing the United States, and that those whites who object to his policies are “domestic terrorists.”


His entire administration, including all of the armed services and all of the intelligence services, are pushing the “DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) initiative intended to minimize white participation and artificially maximize participation of almost all other groups – again with the exception of East Asians, who apparently are considered “honorary whites” because of their “excessive” <sic.> success rate. Teachers unions, most colleges and universities, many corporations, and Democrat-led everything mirror this emphasis.


Biden’s growing senility is (or ought to be) self-evident by now. Sentient or not, it cannot be ignored that the current administration is pursuing domestic and immigration policies whose net effect is to demonize and demean whites and Asians. It will also shift the demographic makeup of this country to a multiracial stew (and thus measurably less intelligent, less educated and more malleable), and flip “red” (Republican) states to “blue” (Democrat) ones – assuming, of course, that elections still matter.



Coupled with this, there is a continual push from Jewish groups for whites to have fewer children, and from the five Western Jewish-owned advertising conglomerates and the Jewish-dominated entertainment industry for white females to mate with black and brown males to produce fewer white offspring and more racially mixed children. It is quite a witches’ brew, with a predictably ghastly outcome – for our culture. Our race and our country, if not for Jews.



And So?



So let’s see where we stand. Jewish-funded NGOs are pushing migrants into the US and Europe. Jews are prominent in the leadership of everything “woke,” LGBTQ+ + and radical feminist groups, as well as those “cultural Marxists” predominant in academe and elsewhere pushing CRT and child mutilation (sorry, “gender-affirming”) surgery. The Jewish-dominated media praise all of the above and suppress criticism of any of it and reports of its abuses. The Jewish-dominated social media platforms likewise censor criticism of their efforts, as well as keeping gruesome accounts of where these things went very, very wrong out of the public eye. The Jewish-dominated entertainment media glorifies everything Jews are pushing, and belittles whites – especially straight males. But noticing any of the foregoing constitutes “hate speech,” and even a whisper of criticism makes one a raging antisemite and a prime candidate for utter ruin.



The net effect is to paralyze opponents of the woke/radical agenda into inaction, . Why? Because Jews do figure so noticeably in virtually all such groups, any criticism of the groups is immediately denounced by the Jewish-owned media and the Jewish-heavy academic establishment as antisemitism, and virtually all of the critics shut up rather than be demonized and penalized as antisemites, even when it involves an insane belief in changing genders and harms the interests of biological women and girls. It is a neat strategy, and it almost always works – and I say “virtually” and “almost” because there may be a handful of exceptions.



On the surface, many progressive secular black people, Jewish people, LGBTQ activists and radical feminists seem united in their hatred of white people – especially white men. It’s a hatred of Western civilization, which was largely founded by white pagans in the Greco-Roman classical era and expanded later by white Christians, and shaped much of the modern world, that unites them. That hatred compels them to try to destroy anything that they created, including the patriarchy, Western civilization, and the United States of America. They are the barbarians within, under predominately Jewish leadership, and make no mistake: They are well on their way to bringing this edifice down. The one-time victim – actual or assumed – has become a full-fledged predator, intent on making Deuteronomy reality.


Author’s note: I am using more figures than usual, because I believe it is important here to let people understand what those we are discussing say for and about themselves. I also wish to extend my great appreciation to my editorial associate Cat McGuire for her excellent assistance.
