No, "Soros" Is Not Shorthand For "Jew."

twittersoros1.png

In fact, much of George Soros's activity is very, very bad for Jews, Judaism and Israel. It does help the sort of Jew who is a fan of leftist politics and the destruction of Western society, but those Jews' real religion is progressivism, not Judaism, so they don't count.

Oh...and another thing...just because someone has a Jewish name and has a passing acquaintance with Judaism does not make him an untouchable spokesman for the Jewish people.

***

The idiocy of this fake Jew is obvious, as is her rabid hatred of anything Trump. Conflating moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem (for many years a bipartisan effort derailed by partisan politics) with an increase in anti-Semitism or some evil trade for the deaths of American Jews is just nuts. The facts are clear; President Trump is a friend of the Jews and a friend of Israel. Will he always do what is best for them? No, he will not, but compared to his predecessors he is a "Just Man."

Dear Jen; Fvck you.

twittersoros3.jpg

There is one man responsible for the murders of 11 Jews in Pittsburgh yesterday. That this rancid bitch wants to blame me and the many other Jews who support President Trump is a disgusting libel, and one that flies in the face of the facts.

I wonder where this slattern was for the last decade, when virulent anti-Semitism ran unchecked through American universities? Or where she was two days ago, retweeting a clear suggestion that violence against Trump supporters was just fine.

The creation of the state of Israel changed the paradigm of the last two thousand years. No longer were Jews convenient scapegoats who could be bullied and blamed and murdered with impunity. Yes, there are many examples of Jews actively defending their interests, but in the main my statement holds.

If there is a lesson to be learned here, it is that the example of Israel can be extended throughout the world. I am saddened that the tone amongst many American Jews is still that others will be responsible for our defense, and that it is in some way unacceptable to bear arms and take active measures to defend ourselves, our families, our congregations and our religion.

Do I blame anyone in Pittsburgh? Of course not. We have free will, we make well-considered choices every day that can have catastrophic consequences. We live in a country that is remarkably free of religious violence, in spite of what the media want us to believe. So the assumption that we will be safe is a reasonable one. I would have made a different assumption, but that is not a criticism of anyone.

The PD for the county in which I live does seminars on that subject.

Does that mean Soros gets immunity (like Obama) from being held accountable based on the possibility that someone might overgeneralize and assume all people of <fill in the blank> are evil? It's stupid. You can't short circuit calling out evil people with this argument.

Sorry, gotta respectfully disagree. Soros exerts wildly disproportionate influence on those villagers through his extensive financial support for Red causes and candidates. The most nefarious: the Secretary of State project, to put committed Reds in charge of elections in various states, but it's only one of many examples.

Soro's bucks are spent on spreading disinformation to American voters, most of whom are not up enough on politics - busy with that living their lives business - to discern the extent to which they're being manipulated.

I once read some speculation on the underlying factors of the Holocaust that stated that the Jews were hated because they introduced the concept of morality thus throwing a wet blanket on the use of power to achieve wealth and pleasure. That may be why the left hates them as well.

I've been quite familiar with the slimy fascist mindset of the Soros people since long before the Secretary of State project.


And sorry, just as the insane murderer is responsible for his murder of people in Pittsburgh yesterday, voters are fucking responsible for their votes.

166 I would just like to ask this idiot assassin, "why do you think Israel is a greater threat to civilization than Islam? They are our best ally against Islam. Jews have been patriots who have helped keep communism at bay (scientists like Edward Teller). They've assimilated to such an extent that you have 99% more in common with most of them than you do than with most Muslims. What is wrong with you?"

I realize there is a traditional antisemitism in some aspects of western culture, but so much of traditional culture has been discarded and new norms have been adopted, I'd think that antisemitism would have long been discarded or forgotten by now. Adam Sandler is a cretin, but the Hannukah Song highlights the important point that nobody cares anymore.

The man just chose a prominent synagogue with unlocked doors for his crime.

And yes, I know plenty of people from my synagogue who have wasted no time in their condemnation of the President over this atrocity in Squirrel Hill.

I really don't think that's it. Islam has its own (twisted) morality, but they aren't the object of such relentless hatred.

I think it's the classics. Jews are comparatively insular, and far more successful than the average, thus making them "the other" and a source of shame and resentment for one's own shortcomings. Not a good position for a minority.

Jews have borne the brunt of many an asshole simply because they are a definable group that has often cherished it's unique identity and has at times either through it's reaction to others or by it's own hand separated itself from the main herd. Throw in that it has always been a minority (except regionally) and you have a ready made group that can be the target of morons.

Jews have been pretty well hated and scapegoated in lots of eras and contexts, not just the Holocaust. You've got Pogroms in Eastern Europe, Spain in the 1490s, England in whichever year that King had the thing.

And the secular-racial-religious debate is not new. Who is a Jew? The Jews in 1920s Germany thought they were assimilated. They were Germans first and Jews second.

And then came the Nuremberg Laws which defined Jewishness by specific increments and applied law in those increments.

So Jew is belief, practice, tradition, and family. It's also blood. It depends on who is looking and who is counting.

Modern Western Leftists are more motivated by self-hate and nihilism than by Marxism. Sure, they still want to take everyone's shit, but what they really want is to see the end of the West. It goes back to individual societies and guilt being used as the main self-control mechanism. Western Leftists are those damaged personalities that can't control the guilt mechanism and are consumed by disembodied, illusory guilt that they blame their fathers for and can only be alleviated with the eventual end of them and all they find familiar.

I think he might respond by pointing out that Marx was Jewish and that Communism/Leftism has been advanced disproportionately by Jews.

(Whether that is actually true or not I don't know, but I think it would be an easy argument to make - I certainly get the impression that a lot of folks in the hard left a century of so ago were of Jewish descent.

The left wants, no... demands power. Unfortunately when that happens 99% of Americans will be worse off. To the 1% who will be in power, that's an acceptable number. As long as they're in power.

We don't use guitars in services, We have a keyboard and sometimes some of the newer hymns, but the only time we have a guitar so far is. when we have different groups play in our fellowship hall These were our hymns for today
"Now thank we all our God". "Christ whose glory flls the skies" and Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing. First two hymns from the 17th and 18th century, The last one is a bit more recent. They like the hymns that one guy calls "the old time religion"

247 My daughter sings for one of those "plant" churches. It's full of young people, and they're very enthusiastic, which is great. Alas, they have the whole modern ensemble of acoustic and electric guitars, bass, amps, and drums. The drummer sits inside a plexiglass booth so as not to be too loud.

The one time I went, I found my mind wandering to whether the thing had airholes, and if so, how long the drummer would last in there if I shut them all up.

Actual practicing Jews (e.g. Orthodox) are thus not Jews. If you apply that framing, everything these idiots say makes an awful, perfect sense.

269 One interesting thing about church music is that it is just about the last place in Western culture where non-professional singers sing on a regular basis. Used to be that if you wanted to hear music, you made it yourself or went to where someone else was making it.

The older hymns were composed for congregations of folks for whom the singing was probably a daily activity, and thus were probably far better at it than are modern congregations.

Some of the Psalms would beg to differ. But I understand what you're saying. For me, music connects me to God in an additional way to the spoken word. I tend to like worship music. But some people connect through quiet reflection and traditional hymns. I get that. It's preference more than doctrine, I think.

Why Mexico is defying the US, attempting to humiliate Trump and inflame the situation, by failing to block the idiots already in Mexico is unknown. Just yesterday Mexican police had blocked the main route, but then cleared out after some kind of interaction with "caravan" leaders. Maybe Mexico has a strategy to delay and defuse the group, a "soft kill" approach.

I work in mental health and over the past 25 years I have had many dealings with jew hating patients, some have been quite ill, some have been addicts, and others have used an inpatient setting to hide from their PO or to try to get a diagnosis that would reduce the consequences of crimes. The most frequent "reason" given by these people is the idea that jews consider themselves "chosen" and thereby better. This is roundly resented and the idea that jews see non-jews as inferior is despised. In reality, I know few jews who would claim superiority, but I know plenty who wish to maintain a pretty closed community.

301 Don't think the timing will work out to help in the mid-terms (even though it would help, and even though I doubt any help is really needed), but my wish is for the "caravan" or some vestige of it to reach the US border zone, and for Trump to exercise his clear authority to close the border.


So many wonderful consequences of that, hard to even list them. The b-slap to so many businesses and people (on both sides) will be hilarious and salutory, as to appreciation of the need for returning order to the border.


But the wet dream is for a federal judge to attempt to enjoin the action. This would put Trump and team on the spot, and they would likely realize they dare not fail again (as in the "travel ban" situation), by allowing clearly illegitimate court interference to disrupt executive branch performance of lawful and constitutional duties. The long, long, long over-due repudiation of a lawless court would do more to help the country than every other Trump policy combined (though few will recognize it).

Mexico has been carrying out acts of war against us by pushing aliens through our border for decades. This is nothing new. Mexico has done everything it's capable of to antagonize us. Yes, it's retarded, but that's been Mexican policy for decades and they have never been made to pay - not even a little - for it. SO, it continues.

We all know that no collection of more than 3 aliens can make their way through Mexico without the full consent and aid of the Mexican government.

Does Trump trying to protect This countries interests over 'globalworldinterests;' make him a bigot? or someone doing the best for the citizens He is Supposed to represent. which are all people, of gender, and race.
Imagine that a President putting His citizens first!

321 My comment about Mexico was made in the context of the recent trade agreement, and left out something I've said several times already: I find it inconceivable that Trump did not insist on a very clear/hard side agreement on things like "caravans" as the price for the new trade deal. If true, stunning incompetence. But not plausible, given that he's been serious about this most important issue. And he made one, lonely, but intriguing off-hand comment linking the two, saying no trade deal was worth border lawlessness.


There are times I wish that the (jaw-dropping, unbelievable) leaking of presidential conversations with foreign leaders that occurred in Trump's first few weeks would return ..... only to find out what's going on diplomatically with this. Pompeo made a visit to Mexico City on his way back from the Mid-East - there can't be any doubt on the other side about our position .... I just want to know what that position is.

339 Jews were hated because they introduced the concept of morality

I really don't think that's it. Islam has its own (twisted) morality, but they aren't the object of such relentless hatred.

I think it's the classics. Jews are comparatively insular, and far more successful than the average, thus making them "the other" and a source of shame and resentment for one's own shortcomings. Not a good position for a minority.
Posted by: pep at October 28, 2018 03:06 PM (T6t7i)

========

My father (ethnic Jew) is a proponent of the "Jews are hated because they introduced morality" theory.

I'm starting to think it's an unfortunate consequence of 1st century Judea. There were many sects. Essenes (ascetics), Zealots (nationalists), Pharisees, Sadducees, Christians, etc.

Unfortunately there was a lot of bad blood and butthurt between the Christians and Pharisees and those wound up being the two most successful sects, the Pharisees forming the origin of modern Judaism and Christianity becoming popular among gentiles and eventually becoming dominated by them, with the result that they were perhaps misunderstanding an internecine quarrel that used overheated rhetoric.

I also think it has to do with what is behind resentment of "colonialism". Indigenous people resent foreign influence even when it is beneficial. Perhaps western gentiles were resentful at having a religion that originated with Jews (and in Matthew, Jesus is especially critical of gentiles), and then having Jews live there who didn't even believe that particular sect of religion.

David Goldman, aka Spengler, has written several essays over the years on this topic, and I can't possibly do justice to his thesis in this space. Thumbnail version is that he posits that Western European Civilization rose as a Christian Civilization out of the grave of Classical Civilization, and that it always had a great Will to Power and pride in itself. But being committed to their Christian writings, they could never get away from the fact that their belief system taught that the Jewish race were the "elder brothers" and first Chosen of God, and they never got away from a bitter resentment of the Jewish race and faith in general for that foundational wound to their pride. And they have been trying to supplant and eliminate the Jewish Race from the start.

Anti-semitism has never been as strong in America as it has in Europe, his theory goes, because those of us in this country has never been as tightly tied to the old cultural values of Europe. And curious that even as Europe slides into Atheism, the old ingrained hatred of Jews remains.

So I guess their argument is that because this guy is viciously against open borders, he shoots up a synagogue with random Jews? You know, instead of some event sponsored by the actual organization he threatened? Doesn't make any sense.

Being against open borders is certainly a Trump thing, but being an anti-Semite certainly ISN'T.

Grafting involves lopping off the old branches.

It is pretty much inherent in Christianity that Judaism without Christ is a dead end - it is through Christ, and only through Christ, that anyone can be saved. Judaism retains a special status because it follows the Law, however, the Law does not lead to salvation.

Actually you have hit upon one of the huge denominational splits and conflicts between the various Christian Churches. Although they may have lightined up lately, the first view, that Christians Believers have replaced Jews as "The Chosen" is the classic theological view of the RC Church, the old school Lutheran Church, the Episcopals, the Calvinists, especially the Presbyterians - most of the "mainstream" Christian churches. The ones that are dying and fading.

One of the hallmarks of the Evangelical movement, no matter what branch of Christianity it comes out of, is that Evangelicals believe that No, the Jewish Race is STI the Chosen Race of God, and the vehicle through which he will work His Will on this world. And that Christian believers are gentiles who have been grafted onto that vine, and to worship in a different way since they are different.

Which is why Evangelicals tend to be so fanatically supportive of Israel, while the old school mainstream Christians aren't so much.

That's the mainstream "orthodox" Christian view, certainly. However I know many evangelicals - I would dare to say most - who believe that no, the Jewish Race has a separate and older deal directly with God, than the one the Christians have, and in fact it is a much harder one, which is why they have been persecuted so much. And that it is Evangelicals call to support them, and as to whatever is going on between the Jewish Race and God, that's God's business and isn't a thing for anyone else to question or understand.

Of course the mainstream protestant Christians tend to say this just proves how ignorant the redneck evangelicals are, while they put their Beto bumper stickers on their Tesla's.

Of course the mainstream protestant Christians tend to say this just proves how ignorant the redneck evangelicals are, while they put their Beto bumper stickers on their Tesla's.

You might want to actually learn something about the differences between Mainstream denominations and actual non-Evangelical Christianity.

"no one comes to the Father except through Me"

Except that the Jews had already come to the Father, by having been chosen by the Father. Hence "covenant."

Covenants can be broken, of course, but it seems unlikely in this particular case.

400 Hebrews 11 - The Jewish Hall of Faith

401 If the Jews can be saved without believing in Christ, than Christ's death was unnecessary.

The whole idea that the Law can bring salvation makes a mockery of the central tenets of the Christian religion.

402 Hebrews 11 - The Jewish Hall of Faith

In which Paul remarks that the Jews persist in unbelief and have therefore been cut off from the vine. He goes on to hope that they will turn to Christ and be regrafted back on, and warns his Gentile audience not to grow arrogant lest they too be cut off.

Who said anything about the law providing salvation. My point as well as Billy Graham's is we know how to get into heaven but we should not believe we have the knowledge who God will keep out.

You did. Believe in Christ, get saved; don't believe in Christ, go to Hell. Pretty clear. Unless the Jews come to belief in Christ, they will not be saved. There is no second path.

I'm sure what Graham meant is that anyone is capable of being saved through Christ, even those that we might think are beyond salvation. That is not the same thing as saying that God may decide to let some random non-believers in the gate.

Posted by: Grey Fox at October 28, 2018 04:46 PM (bZ7mE)

408 We know the path into heaven but we can't be so arrogant to believe we know who God will deny entry into heaven. IMHO.

I don't know why you call it arrogance when a person reads the Scriptures and clearly sees the terms defined by God.

413 That is not the same thing as saying that God may decide to let some random non-believers in the gate.

To suggest that random non-believers can get to heaven is rather interesting in a number of ways.

What is also being said is that man somehow is entitled to eternal life, even those who reject/hate the Creator.

Second, it says that God is not just, not truth and not holy. Making those claims seems to be insulting - why would those who advocate that sort of thing be in heaven?

Posted by: Blue Bird of F'ing Joy at October 28, 2018 04:54 PM (lD3vL)

414 Also 11, 12 and 14.

The idea that those Jews that reject Christ have been cut off is pretty much the starting point for the whole passage. It makes no sense if that isn't the case.

415 Oh great. Now we're enacting the whole dispensational vs. amillennial thingy. And there's a food thread. Back before he went nuts, Harold Camping debated John Walvoord in an epic 5 hr debate. That hits all the highlights of the scriptural passages pro and con.

416 Grey Fox - are you by any chance confusing Hebrews 11 with Romans 11? Hebrews was probably nor written by Paul, and Romans Chapter 11 more closely supports your argument. Hebrews 11 is a listing of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, etc, and how they served the Lord by faith.

418 the Calvinists, especially the Presbyterians - most of the "mainstream" Christian churches.

That libel was totally unnecessary.

John MacArthur likes to hang that "Replacementarian" insult on Amillennials mainly because his reputation as a Dispensationalist demands it.

The doctrinal difference primarily relies on the "grafting in" and the "so all of Israel will be saved" (Ro 11:26) only makes sense if "Israel" is not meant in the congenital sense, but in the Elect of God. The Dispensationalists insist on a "Israel = Jews" interpretation and thus the two-track/Christ-less salvation plan has its place.

It is evil to make salvation a tribal thing when both OT and NT talk about Jews and Gentiles being among the Elect. Those who look down a man's pants and then make a determination on what path that will take to heaven are idiots.

I am. I was actually reading Romans 11 when you posted, and I missed the change in Epistle.

I have no disagreement with the idea that Jews from before the time of Christ were saved. Christ's sacrifice works for them, also - I don't know who would deny that. What I am saying is that anyone, Jew or Gentile, born after Christ's ministry who does not accept Christ will not go to heaven.

Christ is not the second-best way to salvation, as someone up-thread was claiming.

Posted by: Grey Fox at October 28, 2018 05:06 PM (bZ7mE)

420 I tend to side with the amillennials.

If Judeo-Christianity were true, all followers of God would have a duty to follow the latest revelation that there was.

Let's say Abraham were transported in time to Moses' day. Would he refuse to obey laws delivered to Moses and Aaron simply because they came after him? I doubt it. He'd have an obligation to obey those laws.

Acts 17:30-31 seems to indicate that people have a moral obligation to obey the most current revelation from God. So there are no "dispensations". You can't claim "I'm descended from a different dispensation so I can ignore God's commands at this point in time".

Acts 17: And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at October 28, 2018 05:18 PM (/qEW2)

421 There's also the Epistle of Barnabas, which lays it down how the Jewish dispensation is done.

'Course, that epistle is Sir Not Appearing In This Bible, currently.

422 I'm just glad I don't have to wait until heaven to experience God's presence and grace and power.
If heaven was all salvation was about, it would be abstract and kinda...something. Empty? Esoteric? I'm not sure of the word. Then again, my vocabulary seems to be on the fritz.

428 The modern American Left is culturally Marxist and rejects objective reality for higher truth. It makes perfect sense to them that women have penises and if you don't believe it you are a Nazi. So it's little surprise criticism of a literal Nazi collaborator villainous on all levels equals National Socialism because reasons.

429 Matthew 20: 1-16; the parable of the Landlord and the workers in the vineyard. An obvious lesson is that the First shall be Last shall be First - but all still get the reward they were offered. An only slightly less obvious lesson is that Not Everyone gets the Same Deal. And when the workers who think they weren't treated "fairly" complain to the Landlord (God) about him not treating everyone equally, the Landlord (God) says "Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am Generous?"


To put it in common language, God says "I made a deal with you, and I'm keeping the deal I made with you. Deals I make with anyone else are none of your business, so shut up about it." It's in the same vein as the big pronouncement at the end of Job - Why, Job asks, did you allow me to suffer so, God? And the only reply he gets is "Because I'm God, and You're Not." We can either be bitter about it, or accept that we are subservient beings who have to accept the things we will never understand.

I figured we probably were more or less in agreement.

I know some folks think that there is going to be a mass conversion of the Jews to Christianity at the End Times, and while I don't see much Biblical support for that certainty, I have no problem with it theologically and certainly hope that it does happen.
