Suicide as a Jewish Value

A month ago, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz sat down with the host of a Jewish television channel and could not name any reason for Jews to vote for Obama except for his support for abortion. Which is to say that the favorite muppet of the Democratic Party could not think of any reason to support B.O. except a mutual commitment that fewer Jews be born.

It is a little-known fact that Margaret Sanger, that pioneer of eugenic solutions to "racial, political, and social problems", began by targeting Jews, opening her first center in Brownsville, Brooklyn, complete with Yiddish and Italian flyers, aiming for the two immigrant groups whose high reproduction rates were considered a social problem.

Abortion as a Liberal Jewish value has been a stunning success. In New York City, where Sanger first set up shop, 74 percent of all Jewish children are members of the traditionalist Orthodox religious group. Liberal Jews are already panicking over the prospect of a future Jewish population in New York City that is staunchly conservative and religious.

A recent survey of New York City Jews also shows a nearly even split between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. 46 percent of New York Jews are planning to vote against Obama, and a majority of New York City Jews think that Romney would be better at fixing the economy than B.O. But it is only to be expected that the group for whom abortion isn't a Jewish value would come to outnumber the group for whom abortion is a Jewish value.

The problem with values is that you have to live with their consequences. When your values dictate that terrorists deserve all the protections of the civilian justice system, then you have to be ready to live with the explosions. If your values dictate minimal population growth, then you have to accept the consequences of extinction. Values that are contrary to survival carry their own natural cost. And when your values are at odds with your interests, then your values might as well be an open window, a loaded revolver or a dose of strychnine.

Liberal Jews like to talk about Jewish values rather than Jewish interests, because their values are incompatible with Jewish interests-- even as a matter of simple survival. The usual liberal grab bag of values that are represented by the Jewish hand puppets of liberalism, like Wasserman-Schultz, aren't just alien, they threaten the basic survival of the Jewish People.

When asked to justify what interests the Democratic Party and American Jews have in common, the Jewish liberal dives into a copy of the New York Times and comes up with illegal immigration, abortion, gay rights and support for peace in the Middle East.

That list of Liberal Jewish values not only fails to align with a single Jewish interest, but each of them threatens Jewish interests... that is if survival is to be considered a Jewish interest.

Peace in the Middle East means aborting Israel, dissecting it into small pieces and repeating the process until there is no country left. It's another case of liberal Jews trying to do to Israel what they have already done to themselves. To believe that pressuring Israel into making a non-stop roll of concessions to Muslim terrorists is a Jewish value is to believe that suicide is a Jewish value.

Illegal immigration, a cause that virtually every major Jewish organization has signed on to, means the mass migration of Mexicans to the United States. The ADL's own survey shows that nearly half of foreign-born Latinos rate as strongly Anti-Semitic, over three times the rate of white Americans. (Bad news for the glorious civil rights alliance; the ADL's strongly antisemitic ratings are 12 percent for white Americans, 35 percent for African-Americans and 44 percent for foreign-born Latinos.) The only way to make sense of this is that Liberal Jewish groups believe that increasing Anti-Semitism in America is actually a Jewish value.

But liberals of all creeds need more Mexican illegal aliens and immigrants from all across the Third World to compensate for the good work of Sanger. Liberal Christians fear the reproduction rates of Conservative Christians as Liberal Jews fear the reproduction rates of Orthodox Jews. The only way out of the demographic race is to import "ringers" who will have the children that they won't. The new eugenics is political eugenics. Birth control is no longer for the people that Sanger considered the "unfit", they're valued now for their reproductive rates which help the "fit" stay in power.

Growing Anti-Semitism is a small price to pay for the Liberal values of having people like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz sitting in Congress instead of selling tie-dyed t-shirts and hand-painted seashell bongs in a flea market. And like all the wages of liberalism, the price for it isn't paid by the people on top, but by those at the bottom. Those Jews living next to the 44 percent in New York City or on farms in the West Bank within firing range of their Palestinian Muslim peace partners. The Jews whom Sanger and Schultz consider "unfit".

There is a fundamental gap between the interests of those Jews and those of a liberal elite who claim that their Liberal values are our Jewish values. The values of the elite are linked to power while those of the population are linked to survival. The power of Liberal Jewish elites is inextricably linked to the decimation of Jewish populations, whether in the United States, Europe or Israel.

Jews who have grown up within the bubble of Liberal Jewish values are repeatedly asked to choose between their own interests, their physical, social and economic welfare, and the values that have been presented to them as Jewish values. They are encouraged to believe that betraying their own interests is a noble act of self-sacrifice for the greater good.

This is the same false choice between interests and values, between the low ground of survival and the high ground of moral superiority, that the left subjects all Americans and Europeans to on a regular basis. What all the lecturers on the theme of the moral high ground and the new value system have forgotten to mention is that a value system that is incapable of perpetuating itself is of very little use to anyone. It isn't even any good as an act of martyrdom because martyrs are remembered by the people who share their beliefs.

Martyrs that live on die for a faith, not for the extinction of a faith. And that is what Liberal Jewish values are. The extinction of a faith and a people in the name of a better faith in liberalism and a better people in the form of a multicultural rainbow of other people who have children, but still vote Democratic, because their religious values have not yet been submerged within a liberal identity.

The paradox of the multicultural alliance is that the political survival of the narrow wedge of liberals at the top depends on a larger wedge of non-liberals who vote for them but don't share their values. If the minority communities adopted the full panoply of liberal values, they would be on the same path to extinction as the people for whom they have been taught to pull the lever on Election Day.

That is what makes the multicultural alliance into a frighteningly unstable beast which is always at risk of either breaking left or breaking right and must be constantly replenished through fresh supplies of immigrants who are still economically liberal and socially conservative enough to keep the system going.

Jewish Liberals are stuck in a particularly hellish version of this paradox preaching an extinction based value system that is doomed to lose the race to traditionalists. And the only way out is to try and suborn and break down the values of Jewish traditionalists more aggressively in order to gain fresh recruits for their zombie army of the living dead.

Margaret Sanger at least understood that, " the unbalance between the birth rate of the "unfit" and the "fit"... can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes". Birth control teaching without eugenics would never be enough, but the age when the government can mandate a One Child Policy is not yet here. And even if it did arrive, it would still lead to a higher birth rate for couples in traditional marriages.

The race between traditional Jewish values and Liberal Jewish values must always end in the same way over and over again. Suicide can never become a Jewish value unless it is universalized and it can never be universalized until every traditional group is broken down. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has already lost and she probably knows it. If she doesn't, the Jewish Federations who are busy typing up the survey results certainly do. And while that will lead them to redirect more money to groups such as Yeshivat Chovevei Torah and Uri L'Tzedek which act as leftist outposts of the war on traditional Judaism-- that too is another race they cannot win.

In Israel and America, the proponents of Jewish suicide are successfully wiping themselves out, while the proponents of Jewish survival are filling up cradles. The race between the Jewish values of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and their values is already being won.

Which is to say that the favorite muppet of the Democratic Party could not think of any reason to support B.O. except a mutual commitment that fewer Jews be born.

And the enemies of Judaism will vote for him for the same reason. The world is a curious place.

For Jews, I don’t think abortion is a problem. I’ll bet the abortion rate among Jews is very, very low.

The problem is:
1. Low Jewish birth rates (not abortion related)
2. Low Jewish marriage rates — especially to other Jews
3. Lack of commitment among Jews to staying religious (a lot of young Jews revel in their athiesm)
4. Disproportional number of Jews who decide they’re gay

Excellent article!!! Please add me to the Sultan Ping list as well. Thanks in advance.

I knew Margaret Sanger was a eugenics proponent and I also knew that she opened her first abortuary/birth control mill in Brooklyn, but I had not fully made the connection that she was targeting the orthodox Jews/Catholics, etc. Very good point!!!

“For Jews, I don’t think abortion is a problem. I’ll bet the abortion rate among Jews is very, very low.

The problem is:
1. Low Jewish birth rates (not abortion related)
2. Low Jewish marriage rates — especially to other Jews
3. Lack of commitment among Jews to staying religious (a lot of young Jews revel in their atheism)
4. Disproportional number of Jews who decide they’re gay”

The net result is still suicide. How the liberal Jews want to self-destruct still gets the same result.

Liberal Jews are liberals first, Donkeys second, and Jews third. And in their topsy-turvey world view, a real, believing, practicing Jew is something to be denigrated and feared — unless loathed and despised will do.

I’ll bet the abortion rate among Jews is very, very low.

Do you have any data to back that up, or just bare intuition?

According to this source

http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/ab-israel.html

the abortion rate in Israel is about 1 in 10 pregnancies. It's improbable that those were all Jewish babies, but it's interesting that another word for 1 in 10 is "decimation."

the abortion rate in Israel is about 1 in 10 pregnancies.

The article was about the US, not Israel, but glancing at some worldwide stats, UK is 20-23% over the last decade; Canada roughly the same; Australia in the mid-20's. I could not find overal figures for the USA, but New York state was an astonishing 31.1% in 2009, down from 40% a few decades ago.

In that context I think it is fair to call the Israeli rate is low.

My point was not so much a comparison of rates, as simply trying to evaluate rbg81’s “very, very low.” Anyway, it’s not the key point.

There’s something strange, anyway, about secular Jews’ being so committed to free-abortion-on-demand, since it appears it is not they who are engaging in abortion. The same is true of homosexuals: what do they need abortion for? Why are these groups some of the most vociferous supporters of abortion, and some of the largest donors to Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities?

It’s a strange reversal of the usual “Do what I say, not what I do.” (Theodore Dalrymple and Charles Murray have also observed this.) Higher-income, better educated people generally don’t engage in promiscuous hookups resulting in children of various parentage. They divorce less often, have fewer abortions, get and hold jobs, and all that “how to be economically-successful stuff.

And yet, they tell others, with their money to back it up, “We want *you* to have abortions. We think it’s good for *you* to screw anything with a pulse. We think living in idleness on the dole is okay for *you*. Illiteracy, innumeracy, and cultural deprivation are okay for *you*.”

It puts me in a Confusion.

I would put the abortionists into four main camps:

1. Women who are scared to death they’ll get pregnant and fear the consequences (including social embarrasment & weight gain). This goes for their boyriends too.
2. People who [secretly] don’t want to see their “inferiors” have kids.
3. People who hate the human race (including themselves) and don’t want any babies being born—period.
4. Weak minded people who belive abortion is a good thing because their so called “enlightened” friends, colleagues, or mentors have told them so.
