The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Anti-Judaism...anti-Semitic...they are distinctions without a difference, and taking seriously the academic parsing leads inexorably to arguments like, "I'm not an anti-Semite, I am an anti-Zionist!" Just take a look at the UN, which is second to none in its Jew-hate!

In 2017, 21 of 27 UNGA condemnatory country-specific resolutions (or 78%) exclusively targeted Israel. There was one resolution each on Iran, Syria, North Korea, Crimea, Myanmar, and the U.S., for its embargo on Cuba.

Sure. You just hate Jews in Israel, but the ones in America are fine.

Jew-Hatred's Many Strains

The historical truth is that one cannot make a distinction between anti-Judaism (meaning anti-Jewish) and anti-Semitism. The bias embedded in anti-Semitism is rooted in anti-Judaism. Anti-Semitism has multiple strains. Religious and cultural hatred of Jews goes back to Greek and Roman times. Racial anti-Semitism became the new strain in the 18th century. History is filled with a variety of anti-Jewish forms of hatred.

Yes, granted there are various forms of anti-Semitism, but so what? So you hate me and want to kill me because you think I killed Jesus or I took some camel-jockey's land or I have a hook nose or I lent your ancestors money or I don't go to church or....

It still means the same thing, and creating a hierarchy simply gives some people cover for their particular strian. The bien-pensents on the Upper West Side and Berkeley and the Labor Party and Norway and yes, the Democrats love to parse their Jew-hate. And it is long past the time when we do not allow it. So Israelis should be driven into the sea, but it's just A-Ok for a few pet Jews to live on West End Avenue?

Sorry, but that won't fly. And rest assured, they do it with others. Just look at the vitriol poured on Evangelical Christians and Catholics who are pro-life. But they like the other ones...promise!

41 This is the disturbing story of a convict named Freddie Downer and the judge who won't hold him accountable for what he's done.
No matter what trouble he's gotten into the past five years, Circuit Judge Olu Stevens has kept Downer on probation and out of jail.
Assault his sister? No problem. Participate in a robbery that ends in the victim's death? No big deal. Threaten to kill his mother and then get caught by a probation officer with a handgun in his home? Don't worry about it, buddy.
Stevens isn't new to controversy. In 2015, he was criticized for accusing parents of instilling racism in their young daughter after the mother wrote that the girl was still afraid of black men after two armed men broke into their home while she watched cartoons.

110 Wisconsin Spotlight's investigation found:

A former Democratic operative, Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein, served as a de facto elections administrator and had access to Green Bay's absentee ballots days before the election
Spitzer-Rubenstein asked Green Bay's clerk if he and his team members could help correct or "cure" absentee ballots like they did in Milwaukee.
Green Bay's clerk grew increasingly frustrated with the takeover of her department by the Democrat Mayor's staff and outside groups.
Brown County Clerk Sandy Juno said the contract stipulated that Spitzer-Rubenstein would have four of the five keys to the KI Center ballroom where ballots were stored and counted.
Brown County's clerk said the city of Green Bay "went rogue."
Election law experts said the city illegally gave left-leaning groups authority over the election.

In most societies in Europe, the Jews were always in the minority. A very visible minority. Because they were generally smarter than the social "average". They became jewelers, bankers, musicians, doctors. Very socially visible, yet still a minority.
So when anything "bad" happened, it was always "those Jews!". And of course, the ultimate calumny, "the Jews killed Jesus!!".
The World killed Jesus; and it was the Romans who had him nailed to a cross. Jesus came into the world knowing he would be killed. A handful (literally) of the Pharisees wanted him gone, but most of the regular Jews in Jerusalem (a Jewish city) were not for it.
Almost all the early Christians were originally Jewish.
Obviously, Saul, "Paul".

The Apostle Paul led the gentile portion of the early church which was opposed to this view. James, the brother of Jesus, and most of the other surviving apostles stayed based in Jerusalem, and were the leaders of the faction that held that Christianity was simply a subset of Judaism. (known as Judaizers)

When Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD, and killed all the inhabitants, it also wiped out all of the leadership of the Judaizer faction. Paul and his followers became the New Christian Church, because they were the last men standing.

Paul's letters, known as epistles, detail a lot of the arguments between the two sides.

153 I've been to Israel, and I live in the United States. You can find human rights violations in both places (for sure here, and I have a high degree of confidence regarding Israel, since it also exists in the real world).

Here's the thing, though: in neither place is it systemic or even widespread. It's like racism in that regard. That you meet a bigot does not mean that the system or society is bigoted. It just means you met a bigot. The system *could* be bigoted or oppressive, but the mere presence of bigots or oppressors does not necessarily imply that it is. In both the United States and Israel, the systems are not bigoted or oppressive.

It is, however, very convenient for international organizations, NGOs and power players who hate the United States, Israel and (often) Jews to assert that those two countries are systemically oppressive bigots because it suits their political and social goals for global control. There is no rational argument that the US or Israel are more oppressive than the DPRK, the PRC, Iran, the KSA, Japan, or virtually any other country on the planet regardless of the level of development. There are very easy political and power arguments, though.

154 Its depressing how often Jews end up being the target of attacks, hate, and murder over the centuries, usually without any direct connection to people's ire.

Peasants would revolt against the evils and cruelty of their lords and masters, and in the revolt... go and kill or burn out a bunch of Jews. Why? It was totally unrelated but the Jews were different and mobs are easily turned so some wealthy merchant type wanted the guys who they owed money to dead or at least their records destroyed, usually.

But its so often the case over the sad history of humanity, and Jews have tried everything they can to avoid this but always end up hated anyway.

My own take was that I could not imagine pulling a dog's tail. I'm surprised that he wasn't really bitten if he did so even with a very nice dog. I think some service dogs can be trained not to snap at tail pulling, but they are probably very rare and it only works for emergency situations.

I support Israel's right to exist within it's 1967 borders. They won it fair and square. I also understand why the people who lived their are upset*. However, they need to move on, so to speak.

*We aren't happy about letting in a bunch of people we have no say in letting in (who in the Federal gov't listens to us?). That was pretty much the Arab complaint in the mandate area. A bunch of new people show up and the UN tells them to form a government with them.

All of the key players in the impeachment WEREN'T Jewish and t phrase it that way sounds like Group-Blame.
That said, many of the most VOCAL Trump `anti-Trump politicians ARE Jewish--Schiff, Cohen, Raskin, Schumer, Blumenthal and many more.
None of them feel ANY pressure whatsoever to tone it down and none of them seem to be losing support among their constituents.

It's no secret that most Jewish voters--not counting Hasidim or Orthodox --have a problem with Republicans generally, and Trump specifically.

The story of corruption in institutions (Pharisees then, popes and other fakes now, not to mention BigGov) is of course instructive to this day, as we see the attacks on Christianity by fake Catholics (Biden, Pelosi, a long list). and now we have the commie pope, power structures are assaulted by evil. -- The structure of Judaism and Christianity give man a path to (voluntary) community strength, so any (religious) group that has strong adherence comes under strong attack by those seeking ultimate power. ...

The Apostle Paul led the gentile portion of the early church which was opposed to this view. James, the brother of Jesus, and most of the other surviving apostles stayed based in Jerusalem, and were the leaders of the faction that held that Christianity was simply a subset of Judaism. (known as Judaizers)

When Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD, and killed all the inhabitants, it also wiped out all of the leadership of the Judaizer faction. Paul and his followers became the New Christian Church, because they were the last men standing.

Paul's letters, known as epistles, detail a lot of the arguments between the two sides.

195 With reference to 1967, a really good book is "Six Days of War" by David Oren.

Does a very good job (in one volume) of dicussing the origins of the Six Day War, the war itself, and the aftermath.

Almost all the Israeli politicians of the time expected to give back the land won in the war, in exchange for a lasting peace treaty.
They eventually gave back Gaza to Egypt, and did get a peace treaty.
As for the West Bank, etc, there was never a peace treaty concluded, and that land will likely remain part of Israel forever, now.

They went to different parts of Europe where they were sometimes accepted and many times not. The Germans placed legal barriers against many jobs and some of the few that were left were Tax Collector (always popular) Money Lender, a few trades here and there.

So an already tribal people ( Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar, Persia, Greece, Rome, Muhammed the goat licker) became even more insular.

I did something similar fairly recently.

Its just 2 hours of her being empowered and then being more empowered. Its just boring trash.

Black Panther just doesn't make any internal sense. It wanted to make an SJW statement and the story suffers terribly as a result.

Yeah, it's hard, far from impossible. Making a cohesive 2 hour experience is easier than making a 6 hour one. That makes, to me, television a naturally inferior artistic medium in general because more of the output is going to be jagged bits of storytelling, however there's also greater potential within the medium to tell larger scoped and more emotionally investing stories there too.

It's an interesting medium with huge downsides and huge upsides. The funding, scheduling, and organizing mechanisms make it that much harder to fulfill, though.

223 213 I did something similar fairly recently. Putting aside the incredible wokeness of being that is Captain Marvel, I think the biggest flaw in the film is that there is never any genuine tension / conflict, because nothing ever is a serious threat to her. Its just 2 hours of her being empowered and then being more empowered. Its just boring trash.

Black Panther just doesn't make any internal sense. It wanted to make an SJW statement and the story suffers terribly as a result.

The bite was apparently severe enough to warrant treatment and removal of the canine.

227 "Practicing Jew", like "practicing Christian" is subject to definitional dispute. I know big lefties who keep kosher and attend services regularly, but yes the main focus of their religious fervor is Tikkun Olam and Racial Justice. I know Jews who don't give a crap about kosher who love leftism, too. Conversely I know some Trump supporting Jews who keep kosher and keep shabbat and some who do neither. I keep kosher, but am not particular about driving or typing or working (when I did) on shabbat.

One of the things I love about Justified is there was precious little "filler" in each season. Each season was its own story and there was one overarching story.

You could say the cases of the week eps were filler, but you're talking about 8 hour seasons. There were a couple subplots that are generally hated, but for the most part everything was relevant. And they didn't dig into the personal lives of any non-main character which is probably my favorite thing of all.

That was always Paul's position, and as I posted above, Paul's Church ended up becoming THE Church. The Roman Catholic hierarchy did a really brilliant bit of politicking when they claimed to be founded by Peter, who was at best on the fence about the issue. By claiming a link to Peter's supposed authority, while in fact being the embodimentand heirs of Paul's theology, they laid a claim to represent All Christians, of any theological persuasion. They knew what they were doing.

With the everything gun related shortage, I've been wondering about the use of X powder in Y cartridges. Something with data for rifle cartridges like .308 and 30-06 but nothing for pistols. I know we had the luxury of boutique usage in the past, but I was thinking about people loading their weapons in the old west. Did they have rifle and pistol powder, or just "powder", with it wildly varying from one town to the next where the different chemists made it.

I know pistol burns faster, but beggers and choosers might be our only option at some point in the future.

Are there any websites that discuss these dark arts?

290 Daredevil, like all the Netflix Marvel shows, has a lot of padding. Some more than others. Daredevil had the least, but it was still there, you could trim each show by at least a third and still have a solid story. Each MCU Netflix show had too much time to tell each story they had, so they had to pad each episode out considerably.

And I agree that the first Star Trek film has a lot of padding in it as well. I very much prefer tight, direct storytelling where everything in a book or show serves the story, but that's a newer style. Old books have a tone of padding because it was about the journey for the reader, not the destination.

292 Contrary to popular belief, Jesus never advocated the abolishment of the Jewish religion. A short quote fixes that:

"Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.


Exactly where is that passage in the NT?

"The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath". - Mark 2:27

Also, Jesus said that the physical Jewish temple would be torn down and that it would be replaced by a Temple not made by human hands.

Have the Jews, since 70 AD follow the ceremonial law with respect to anything related to the Temple?

Jews aren't under the jurisdiction of the Church so the entire focus of the Inquisition was crypto-Jews and heretics(people claiming to be Catholics). Naturally some of those targets weren't actually crypto-Jews or heretics. But the expulsion of the Jews and expulsion of the Moriscos was a separate policy by the Crown, which also ran the Spanish Inquisition, and was not directly related to the Inquisition.

By the time of the expulsion though most of the population had already converted at some point, and when the expulsion occurred many opted to convert.

I've not seen Endgame yet (I've seen all the others so far, its the last one for me). But what you describe sounds again like a tension problem. They can't put her in earlier because she's so strong, it kills the tension with the villain. And they put her in danger, because that would mean that she might lose to a male.

Peter Jackson had a similar problem (sans the feminism) with the army of the dead in ROTK -- once they arrive, the Battle of the Pellennor fields is robbed of its tension because Jackson made the army of the dead effectively invulnerable / unstoppable. So they could only come in at the very last minute, to preserve tension.

"Keeping to yourself" was often a result of kashrut or fear on both sides. If you need certain products, kosher ones, you had to live in proximity to kosher butchers and suppliers. My MIL's neighborhood in Queens had an eruv surrounding it. This might be a hard sell in a large "diverse" neighborhood.

It had a ton of flaws, but yeah the Mary Sue nature of the character made her kind of dull to watch. You can work around that (they've done it with Superman for over 80 years now) but the writers of Captain Marvel were not up to the task. They wrote a lot of lame scenes, lacked drama or tension, the character was unlikable, and worse, they didn't make it fun. Of all the MCU films, its the poorest, even worse than Iron Man 3, which had some good moments.

Son thinks that Kubrick was a very fine director (Barry Lyndon is one of his favorite films) and he thinks "Napoleon" would have been interesting to see, but I guess it wasn't made because the earlier movie by somebody else was a flop. He said Kubrick considered Jack Nicholson for Napoleon (I can't, myself, see that casting) or David Hemmings-whom I don't really know of, except that he's English, yes and was he connected the movie "Camelot"?

Anyway, I told son he should chime in on the movie thread, but so far he just reads and thinks. Thanka for your time and effort with it.

345 "IIRC, There's text in Acts and/or Romans to the effect that adherence to
strict Judaic law was not required by Christ for salvation!" Hrothgar --

"making the law of none effect"? Or "For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. --
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:--
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another ----
Romans 2 is interesting on this. "Salvation" imo is Biblically different for the "born again" Christian, and the Resurrection of the Just. Old Testament, some works were required (there is also Resurrection of the unjust). But the "Make Jesus Lord" thing is no one night emotional decision, a deep audit of the heart is performed first, I'd guess.

350 TJM if you're wasting time on things like WandaVision, you really need to make time for Justified.

Although I gotta say I liked the WandaVision TV theme openings I saw. They were well done.

352 That, and the writers were often writing for periodicals so they had an incentive to drag it out.

And really, the reading public was just happy to not be dying of cholera.

353 I have not watched any Wandavision (don't have Disney) so I do not know but I have heard starkly contrasting reactions, either that its a horrible disaster or that its super clever and great. Its either obscure and some people don't get it, or so niche that some love it and others find it lousy, I don't know.

Didn't sound interesting to me, though. I don't like the character and the actress does nothing for me.

He also didn't think much of Dr. Zhivago. Is he a commie?

359 344 They really haven't done it successfully with Superman either. They keep making these films, and they keep sucking.

The comics have pulled it off many times over the years, and the first Superman film actually worked great because it was an intro: see what he can do! And his inability to stop both missiles (despite being able to fly at the speed of light) created dramatic tension.

But yeah, the rest were pretty much a fail.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 09, 2021 12:14 PM (KZzsI)

The animated movies have actually done Superman pretty well. Several have had his origin story. Others have been comic adaptations. The two part movie of death of Superman and Reign of the Superman did far better with his death by Doomsday and resurrection than Zak Snyder could ever hope for. That goes double for Whedon.

360 The drivers have to load the trucks themselves. It's actually a pretty crummy job with impossibly high expectations for deliveries. Not even time to pee.

I've considered letting them in for bathroom breaks, but I'm just not quite comfortable enough. I do let them refill their water bottles with our drinking water dispenser outside and let them park their vans at the end of the drive if they need a break.

364 I am so fucking tired of Jews being the center of the universe. Even what is called the far right focuses on Jews, just negatively. I pray the day may come when hear as little about the Jews as I hear about the Vietnamese.

Yes. Precisely.

The OP is a perfect example of jews provoking precisely the reaction they claim to fear.

And they never, ever learn.
