Australian columnist cleared of 'anti-Semitic' writing

September 19, 2010

SYDNEY, Australia (JTA) -- An Australian newspaper columnist who accused the pro-Israel lobby of being "a ferocious beast" that "lunges from its lair, fangs bared" was cleared of breaching press standards.

A complaint against Mike Carlton, who writes a weekly column in the Sydney Morning Herald, was dismissed last week by the Australian Press Council after a reader took umbrage at his columns in June following the Gaza flotilla incident.

The complainant, Judy Maynard, accused Carlton's columns of containing ''anti-Semitic elements" that "bring opprobrium on Jews through the use of racist imagery [and] factually incorrect statements.''

In his June 5 column, Carlton also described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "an unprincipled thug addicted to the use of military force."

The Sydney Morning Herald denied allegations of anti-Semitism. The Press Council, acknowledging that Carlton's work was strongly critical, ruled that he did not breach its principle that material should avoid placing gratuitous emphasis on a particular ethnicity, religion or nationality.

In e-mail correspondence at the time with Executive Council of Australian Jewry president Robert Goot, Carlton said he was "entirely content" that Israel exists "as a free and independent Jewish homeland."

But he added, "What I do object to is Israel's brutal and unconscionable oppression of the people of Gaza. And the attempts, in this country and around the world by people like yourself, to silence those who speak out about it."

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro

An antisemite condemns people for being Jews, I am not an antisemite.--Michael Santomauro

Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish.
Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro

Young Israelis moving to Berlin in droves

City from which Hitler unleashed genocide of six million Jews now attracting small but growing community of Jews from Israel for whom it embodies freedom, tolerance, anything-goes spirit
Associated Press

Nirit Bialer, granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, welcomes listeners in Hebrew to a one-hour radio show of music, talk and interviews. The setting isn't her native Israel but a radio station in the heart of the German capital – and hundreds of Israeli Berliners are tuning in.

 

The city from which Hitler unleashed the genocide of 6 million Jews is now attracting a small but growing community of Jews from Israel for whom it embodies freedom, tolerance, and an anything-goes spirit.

 

"Berlin has become a real magnet for Israelis – everybody wants to move here," said Bialer, 32, whose Friday noon "Kol Berlin," Hebrew for "the voice of Berlin," started three years ago and is something of an institution for young Israelis in Berlin.

 

Nobody knows exactly how many Israelis have moved here in recent years; unofficial estimates suggest 9,000 to 15,000 – far fewer than the 120,000 Jews who lived in Berlin before the Nazis came to power in 1933.

 

But their presence is a powerful symbol of generational change. Years ago, Israelis viewed emigration from their country as a betrayal of the Zionist cause, and moving to Germany was reviled as the worst betrayal of all.

 

Many wouldn't set foot in Germany even as tourists. Today, Israelis make up the second-largest group of non-European tourists coming to Berlin, after Americans. The streets of Tel Aviv feature billboards featuring Berlin's landmark Brandenburg Gate as a tourist attraction.

The Israelis who come to stay are looking to work, study, party and make art, and don't seem to care much about the Nazi past. They arrive on student visas, overstay tourist permits or have German or other European ancestry that entitles them to citizenship. Many start families with German partners, far from the tensions of the Middle East.

 

"I love Israel, but I just couldn't live there anymore - it's like a small village and so militaristic," explained Lea Fabrikant, a photography student who arrived two years ago.

 

"Most of all, I needed freedom and space, and I found it here."

 

Fabrikant, 26, said she lived through the many suicide bombings in Jerusalem, her home town, during the 1990s, and loves Berlin's tranquility, relaxed spirit and affordability for students and artists.

 

Germany's past, she said, "doesn't affect me at all."

 

New Jewish community

On the other hand, Asaf Leshem, a 36-year-old travel guide, said his move three years ago had much to do with his family's past in Germany.

 

He has walked through the Schoeneberg neighborhood where his grandfather lived as a child before emigrating in 1938, and visited the family plot at the Jewish cemetery in Weissensee.

 

Leshem thinks his grandfather, were he alive, would have supported his decision.

 

"The Nazis ruled Germany for 12 years and many German Jews felt like the Nazis abducted the country from them," Leshem said. "They also had good memories, especially from their childhood in Germany, how they used to go on trips to the Baltic Sea or go for a swim in Berlin's Grunewald forest."

 

Leshem grew up in Israel but says he feels a bit German himself and appreciates German culture.

 

For those who miss the flavors of home there are Israeli delicatessens, bakeries, bars and child care groups. Berlin is friendly to gays, and the Israelis among them throw a monthly party, called "Meshuggah" – Yiddish for "crazy."

 

Udi Cohen, 32, wandered around the US and Europe for years before settling in Berlin. He opened "Luigi Zuckermann," a bistro in Berlin's Mitte district where he sells sandwiches and salads with an Israeli twist.

 

"In Israel, I couldn't function, I couldn't find a job, but here I'm fine and enjoy the vibe and energy of the city," he said.

 

Gal Bar-Adon, 27, learned trombone in Berlin and produces dancefloor music that he said is played in clubs across the city and beyond. "Israel is simply too small," he said. "There's not enough of an audience for my kind of music."

 

Bialer said that despite Berlin's attraction, living here also means coming to terms with Germany's past. She notices that sustained conversation with Germans inevitably shifts to the Nazi era.

 

"It can be exhausting, it can be liberating – but it is a sure thing that at some point we will talk about the Holocaust," she said.

 

When the grandchildren of the victims and of the perpetrators meet for the first time, the experience can be sensitive and guilt-ridden.

 

Living here has also made Bialer more aware of her Jewishness.

 

"In Israel you don't think about what it means to be Jewish because everybody is celebrating Shabbat or the Rosh Hashana" (Sabbath and Jewish New Year), she said. "In Germany, you suddenly realize who you are as a Jew and you're different from everybody else around you."

 

In the end, Bailer said, an Israeli influx could start to fill the void left by the Holocaust.

 

"I think there's something growing here: A new Jewish community in Berlin."

BraveHeart: The "Persecution" of the Jews in Soviet Russia [1 Attachment]

Subject: The "Persecution" of the Jews in Soviet Russia
To: billguru1@gmail.com




THE "PERSECUTION" OF THE JEWS IN SOVIET RUSSIA

 

The amount of information coming out of university presses on the flourishing of Jewish culture in the early Soviet Union, meaning the 1920's and 1930's, is amazing. The latest example is "Jewish Renaissance in the Russian Revolution" by a professor Kenneth Moss. Professor Moss is emphatic that the Russian revolution allowed Yiddish culture to flourish in the former Czarist Empire. The Jewish religion was suppressed but anti-Semitism was proscribed, job opportunities for Jews in the Soviet bureaucracies were everywhere and Yiddish was recognized as an "official" national language. A vast publishing industry in Yiddish flourished under the Soviet regime with major publishing centers existing in Kharkov, Minsk and Moscow. All this Communist Yiddish publishing attracted a vast return to the Soviet Union of Communist Yiddish scribes from abroad. Moshe Olgin from the United States and David Bergelsen from Berlin were good examples. Communist Jews from Argentina and Brazil were also among the returnees. 

The Soviet Union in those days was regarded more or less as the Messiah of Jewish aspirations world wide. This thesis is acknowledged not just by Jewish scholars like Moss, Gennady Estraikh and David Schneer, but also by well-informed journalists like the Englishman Geoffrey Wheatcroft in his book, "The Controversy of Zion". Communism, in the pre-World War Two days, was "good for the Jews". One indication of just how popular Communism was with the Jews is that in the 1920's the circulation of the Yiddish language "Morning Freiheit" newspaper exceeded the readership of the English language "Daily Worker". Even in the late 1940's/early 1950's the circulation of the "Freiheit" and the "Daily Worker" was roughly equal. Jewish culture also flowed to the Hollywood film industry where the Hollywood Communist Party was over 50% Jewish. These preachers of proletarian culture wrote in English rather than Yiddish but their message was the same. The Soviet Union was very popular with the Hollywood "in crowd" the same way that the Soviet Union was very popular with the Yiddish literati. It would be difficult to distinguish "Song of Russia" and "Mission to Moscow" from the paeans of praise to Communism by Peretz Markesh, Itzhik Fevel, Chaim Bialik, Dir Nister, Leyb Kivitko, Moshe Litvikov and others.  

Today, Jews have conned people into thinking that the Soviet Union persecuted Jews. Anyone who believes this should read Eugene Lyons classic work "The Red Decade". The reader will find Jewish name after Jewish name among the well-wishers of Soviet Communism. The investigations of Senator Joseph McCarthy also dragged into the open a plethora of Jewish names with Communist connections. Yet despite seventy years of Marxist agitation, 1880-1950, Jews have buried the past and convinced the world that Communism was an anti-Jewish movement. The dread figure of Joseph Stalin and the rise of the state of Israel have played a key role in this historical reversal of provable facts. Today Stalin is remembered as the man who purged "rootless cosmopolitans" at the end of his political career. But he is not remembered as the man who appointed one Jew after another to do his killing, 1930-1950. Thus, the "anti-Semitic" Stalin appointed Jews like Simon Firin, Mattvei and Boris Berman, Gregory Afanasjew, Eugene Kogon, Isaac Rottenberg, Moishe Trilliser, Aaron Solts, Lev Inzhir, Gregory Zhuk, Naftaly Frenkl, Leonard Reichmann, Herschel Yehuda and many others, to run his dread secret police and murderous gulag system. When he invaded Eastern Europe after World War Two, his "willing executioners" were Jacob Berman and Hersh Smolar in Poland, Hilda Benjamin and Marcus Wolf in East Germany, Rudolf Slansky in Czechoslovakia, Ana Pauker in Rumania and a quartet of Jews in Hungary, Matyas Rakosi, Ernest Gero/Singer, Joseph Revai/Moses Kahane and Michael Fakas/Benjamin Auschpitz. The secret police in all three countries were 75% Jewish. 

The rise of the state of Israel has further complicated the Jewish Communist connection. Israel, in the public mind, is identified with anti-Communism. But that is a distortion of the facts. The Soviet Union and the Zionist state had much in common ideologically. The basic issue was whether Communism was to be established in Palestine or Russia. Competent scholars all agree that the left wing Zionists were all ideologically closely related to the Russian Marxists. During the 1920's and 1930's there was considerable traffic between the Jewish Communist agricultural colonies in the Crimea on the north shore of the Black Sea and the Labor Zionist colonies in British Mandatory Palestine. Red Jews moved constantly between the two locations, under the watchful eyes of the suspicious British authorities. Stalin originally supported the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, hoping to create a Jewish Communist ally of the Soviet Union. The Soviets allowed the transfer of Czech airplanes to the Zionists in the 1948 war. Those Stalinists hopes were dashed in 1953 when David Ben Gurion, himself a Marxist, aligned Israel with the United States to gain access to the wealth of Diaspora Jewry. Today, Soviet ideological opposition to Zionism is used to promote the myth of Soviet anti-Semitism. As William Mandel and many other authorities have shown, Jews lived very well in the Soviet Union long after they had ceased to be the leading commissars. They heavily dominated the professions, particularly law, medicine and engineering, and dominated the Soviet computer and military technology industries. The Soviet authorities of course attempted to prevent them from going to Israel, which would have constituted a "brain drain" on Soviet society. 

Such are the facts on the rise and slow decline of the Jews under the Communist system they largely created and controlled. These facts show the real Jewish connection to Communism, a subject that is distorted for many reasons of political manipulation. This brief survey covers the essential facts devoid of the distortion, in the hope of laying bare the truth about the Jewish involvement in history's greatest crime.

BraveHeart: "Lecturer Of Truth" [1 Attachment]

Response to a critic.

      LECTURER OF TRUTH

 

A Mr. Joseph Welch of Counterknowledge.com has frequently accused this writer of distorting historical facts, in particular of falsely describing Communism as a Jewish movement. He accuses this writer of lacking proper academic credentials and of not having his writings subjected to "peer review. He then concludes that the Jewish Communist charge is bogus and that those who advocate it are intellectual charlatans, not to be listened to. Mr. Welch is inordinately proud of his own credentials as a university lecturer. He therefore reasons that he possess a wisdom above that of those who merely reason from facts to sustainable conclusions. Thus, Joseph Welch flies the PhD. of stupidity as the flag of his own invincible ignorance.  

When this writer posted excerpts from a State Department document entitled "The Power and Aims of International Jewry" Mr. Welch's response was to deny the authenticity of the document. At the same time he was denouncing this writer for failure to do archival research, he was supremely unaware of an actual archival document bearing on the very topic he was denying, the connection of Jews with Communism. Homer Lea once wrote a book, "The Valor of Ignorance". He was hardly thinking of Joseph Welch, although the appellation could hardly be better placed. Just to show how incredibly ignorant and uninformed Joseph Welch is, we shall quote in extenso from a volume entitled "Dark Times, Dire Consequences: Jews and Communism", edited by Jonathan Frankel and Dan Diner and published in 2004 by Oxford University Press as part of the "Studies in Contemporary Jewry" series. This volume contains a wealth of information on just how deep and world wide the Jewish connection with Communism once was. We shall begin with the introduction on pp. 9-10. 

"Beyond these questions involving empirical historiography, there remains the ethical issue of collective responsibility. Given that, at some times and in some places, Jews were disproportionately involved in the massive crimes committed by the Communist regimes in Europe (emphasis added), did they in the process morally 'contaminate' the Jewish people as a whole? Did they act solely as individuals whose origins happened to be Jewish or was there a linkage, however construable, between their Jewish extraction, their Communism, and their participation in atrocities?" 

"If, for no other reason, this question cannot be avoided because the argument is so often made in Eastern Europe today (in Poland and Lithuania, for example) that the large number of Jews within the Soviet security agencies who took a leading role in the years 1939-1941 both in the deportation of hundreds of thousands of innocent victims to the deadly Siberian labor camps and in numerous executions – and, by so doing, opened the way to acts of vengeance visited on the Jewish people by their Gentile neighbors from the moment the Red Army was forced back by the Wehrmacht. If, for example, the entire Polish people is to be held in some way responsible for the Jedwabne massacre carried out by Polish villagers, does it follow that the Jewish people should share in the guilt incurred by the murderous acts of Jewish NKVD/MVD operatives?" 

Let us examine these paragraphs closely. They admit the basic fact denied by university lecturer Joseph Welch. Jews were disproportionately involved in Communism – and there is indeed an issue of Jewish collective guilt. This is admitted by two world class Jewish scholars – but denied by their intellectual superior – university lecturer Joseph Welch. Now let us proceed to various choice quotations that document the Jewish involvement Joseph Welch denies. In his essay, "Jews and the Communist Movement in Interwar Poland" Jaff Schatz of the Institute for Jewish Culture, Lund writes, pp.20-21: 

"As previously suggested, throughout the interwar period, Jews did constitute one important segment of the Communist movement. According to both Polish sources and Western estimates, the proportion of the Jews in the KPP was never lower than 22 per cent countrywide, reaching a peak of 35 per cent (in 1930). According to some available data, the level of Jewish members of the Communist movement then dropped to no more than 24 per cent for the remainder of the decade. Other data, however, indicate that Jewish involvement actually went up in the large cities; in Warsaw, for example, Jewish membership rose from 44 per cent in 1930 to more than 65 per cent in 1937. In the semi-autonomous KPZU and KPZB, the percentage of Jewish members was similar to that in the KKP. The number and proportion of Jewish members in the youth movements was even higher, ranging from 31 per cent to a high of 51 per cent." 

"Working on the assumption that Polish Jewish Communists constituted between a quarter and a third of the Communist movement during the 1930's, the total of Polish Jewish Communists (including youth group members but excluding political prisoners) ranged between 5,000 and 8,400. If prisoners are included, the numbers range between 6,200 and 10,000. In addition, Jews comprised the overwhelming majority of the legal front organizations, the Polish-based International Organization for Help to the Revolutionaries (MOPR)…which collected money for and channeled assistance to imprisoned Communists. In 1932, out of 6,000 members of the MOPR, about 90% were Jews." 

"Perhaps even more significant was the Jewish representation among the Communist leadership. Although party authorities consciously strove to promote classically proletarian and ethnically Polish members to become leaders and party functionaries, Jews accounted for 54 per cent of the field leadership of the KPP in 1935 and 75 per cent of the party'stechnika – those responsible for producing and distributing propaganda materials. Communists of Jewish origin also organized a majority of the seats on the Central Committees of both the…KPRP and the KPP." 

Here, once again, we have a clear factual rebuttal of university lecturer Joseph Welch, who trumpets his credentials to the world while ignoring readily available secondary source literature which proves him wrong. Mr. Welch needs less peer review and more old fashioned objectivity to temper his thinking. Now let us examine what Istvan Deak says in his essay "Jews and Communism: The Hungarian Case". On p.38 he writes: 

"Jews, or rather, persons of Jewish origin but not of the Jewish religious persuasion, occupied decisive positions in the Hungarian Communist Party and, in general, the Hungarian socialist movement. Moreover, because the Communist party was in power in Hungary for 133 days in 1919 and again, roughly, from 1947 to 1989, it is no exaggeration to say that political personalities of Jewish origin played a decisive role in 20th-century Hungary." 

"To take matters a step further, one can state with confidence that Jews held a near monopoly of political power in Hungary during the 133 days of the Soviet republic in 1919 and again from, roughly, 1947 to 1955, and then again from 1955 to the fall of 1956. Because nowhere else in Europe did persons of Jewish origin ever share in such large numbers in similar long-term dictatorial power, it is clear that Hungary's was a unique situation…" 

"The truth was that it was of very great consequence from the point of view of Hungarian, Jewish and Communist history that Bela Kun and the dozens of others people's commissars who dominated the Hungarian republic of Soviets in 1919 were of Jewish origin. Or as an American historian has put it: 'The Jews were highly visible in the revolutions of Russia and Germany; in Hungary, they seemed omnipresent.'" 

Thus, Joseph Welch is condemned as an ignoramus on the basis of Jewish admissions alone. What sort of university lecturer is it who has not consulted the most basic of facts while trumpeting his "wisdom" to his students? Turning now to Gennady Estraikh's essay, "The Yiddish Language Communist Press" we read on p.66: 

"In the 1920's and 1930's, millions of people, including a considerable number of Jews outside of Russia, revered Moscow as the future capital of a just and democratic civilization. Yiddish Communism formed a distinct subculture in the international Communist movement, being overseen, in one way or another, by the apparatus of the Comintern, the Communist International…regardless of their country of domicile, the Communists of East European vintage represented a relatively homogeneous group of people who were devoted to the Soviet Union – that faraway proletarian fatherland…Through the blur of distance, time, and utopian expectations, the Soviet Union became a dream land of freedom and equality. Many Jewish Communists went so far as to regard themselves as 'Soviet foreigners', to borrow a term provided by Hirsh Bloshtein, an Argentinian and later Soviet Yiddish poet." 

And what says Joseph Welch to these amazing admissions of international Jewish sympathy for Bolshevism? Why, he doesn't. In his mind, Jewish admissions of guilt equal "Nazi propaganda".  

In his essay "The Moscow State Yiddish Theater as a Cultural and Political Phenomenon" Jeffrey Veidlinger writes: 

"Soon after the revolution of 1917, the Communist Party in Russia realized that in order to create a base of support among the non-Russian minority nations, it would need to encourage the communication of Soviet ideals in local languages and discourses. Thus, Bolshevik thinkers and activists created Communist literary unions, films, and theaters in the languages of the minority nations. The hope was that these institutions would provide effective Communist education, such that national distinctions and aspirations would eventually be replaced by a supranational class consciousness. It was in this context that the Communist party, and particularly its 'Jewish section', (Evsektsiia), supported the establishment and promotion of Yiddish theater. The Evsektsiia believed that theater, with its mass appeal and revolutionary associations could reach working-class Jews in a way that no other medium could." (p.84) 

Ezra Mendelsohn provides further evidence of the Jewish involvement in revolutionary art in his essay "Jews, Communism, and Art in Interwar America". He writes: 

"All this provides ample evidence for the existence of large numbers of left-wing Jewish artists in interwar America. The substantial Jewish presence on the left was, of course, nothing new – Jews had been prominent in the European and American socialist movements before the First World War and in the wake of the Russian Revolution, many had joined the Communist movement. During the 1920's, the American Yiddish-language Communist daily newspaper, Di Frayhayt  (later Morgen frayhayt) had a larger readership than did the English language equivalent, The Daily Worker, while at least one third of the members of the Central Committee of the party were Jews." (p.100) 

At least three prominent Communist cartoonists of the Depression era were Jews, Louis Lozowick, William Gropper and Hugo Gellert. Mendelsohn concludes his essay with the following amazing words: 

"…the alliance of some Jews with Communism has much to tell us about a central dilemma in modern Jewish life: that of finding one's way between the utopian, messianic, and often dangerous urge to change the world, on the one hand, and the natural wish to identify with one's own people, with its sufferings and achievements, on the other. Whether or not they explicitly acknowledged it, American Jewish artists' choice in favor of the former alternative was, at least in some ways, a Jewish choice." (p.127) 

As always, the erudite Joseph Welch, confronted with these and similar damning admissions on the Counterknowlefge.com debate site, has nothing to offer by way of rebuttal. He can only snarl about lack of peer review and published articles (publication in The Nationalist Times obviously does not count). It would be idle to continue quoting from "Dark Times, Dire Consequences". If the above does not suffice to convince, further quotations would hardly reinforce the already established. "Dark Times, Dire Consequences" is only one of dozens of research volumes establishing the truth of Jewish Communism beyond any reasonable doubt. Joseph Welch, a minor figure on campus, is of no consequence himself. But he is an all too typical example of the intellectual corruption of the academy. As a lecturer, he is entrusted with the education of the students. Yet he cannot even educate himself on a suppressed truth he dare not face. Mr. Welch's intellectual cowardice on the dread subject of Jews and Communism typifies the intellectual cowardice of the professors who employ him. These professors also quail before the reality of Jewish Communism, just as they run in terror from technologically impossible "gas chambers", a kangaroo court at Nuremberg and six million "lost and found". Recently a major university in Canada was threatened with the loss of a large yearly donation by a Jew irate over a little objective examination of the state of Israel's odious policies. The university quickly back tracked. That is the reality of intellectual freedom on campus. The brave and intrepid seekers after truth on campus, secure in their ivory towers, know who signs their paychecks. They may insult the values of their students and their parents, but they bow down before Zion. That is why, like Joseph Welch, they deny the most firmly established facts to be found in their own reference volumes, while genuflecting before missing ashes.

Gordon Duff: Israel Opens Door For New Look At Holocaust

 

Gordon Duff: Israel Opens Door For New Look At Holocaust

June 7, 2010 posted by Gordon Duff · 39 Comments 

GOVERNMENT VIDEO MOCKING FLOTILLA DEAD "THE LAST STRAW"

PROPAGANDA "STEAMROLLER" FROM ISRAEL PUTS DOUBT ON HOLOCAUST CLAIMS

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

Israel's release, direct from government sources, of a comedy video mocking Freedom Flotilla members executed by IDF recruits, clearly opens the door to reexamination of the holocaust and Israel's history of deception for gain.  With a current Israeli government that has created an apartheid state based on issue of racial orgin and has even funded "junk science" racial research meant to prove Jews to be a "unique race" among the people's of the earth, parallels are easy to draw.  Every Gestapo office in Hitler's Germany had charts and equipment used to differentiate "Aryans" from untermenschen, Slavs and Jews.

Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish.

The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro
