American\European Jews = Book Smart but incredibly naive and ignorant. Comes from being cloistered, narrow-minded and a culturally matriarchal culture(Feminized). How with rare exception they passively walked into the gas chambers. Post-war Israeli Sabra Jews, more in lines of Old Testament As* kickers and the toughest kid on the block. My relatives fought in the Pacific and at Normandy and my Father was a fighter pilot. Then again my relatives were old Irish\English Jews, a very rare breed, we had more in common with our Catholic neighbors then sniveling book worm pacifist in places like Austria and France.
I was raised Catholic but my ancestors - going back to my great-grandfather on my mother’s side were British Jews out of Holland.
Dear pburgh,
There is a difference between those ‘who build walls with a spear in their hand’, and those who sat and bemoaned of what was, once the Assyrians came and did what they did.
I do agree with your assessment, which in the very recent past, were called “J.A.P.’s”, and i don’t mean Asians.
(In quoting Spaceballs ...:Funny, she doesn’t look Druish?!?”)
The 1948 vintage Israelis knew what was what, and who was who, and what was needed to do.
I salute your Father and relatives, who knew what ‘freedom’ really meant, and the price it just might demand of oneself.

That is an interesting point. I just read a different explanation the other day. You might read this and tell me what you think of it. Here is an excerpt.
In this mentality, it’s always 1881 and we’re still in Russia. The Jews are cowering behind their doors in fear as the Cossacks rampage through the town, or Christian peasants with pitchforks and flaming brands march on the Jewish quarter.One side effect of this mentality: an unblinking vigilance, a hyper-sensitivity, towards the slightest tendency of the Gentile majority to drift Cossack-wards. This easily and often slops over into—and I am speaking of a subset of a subset of American Jews—into a generalized dislike, a prejudice, against white Christians.
Another side effect: the feeling that, for an oppressed minority—we’re still in 1881, remember: it’s always 1881—for an oppressed minority there is safety in courting and joining with other outsider groups for solidarity against the dangerous, dominant Goyim. The great dream of this mentality, in fact, is to get enough of a coalition of outsiders together to outnumber the Goyim, the white Christians. That’s why so many Jews are so passionately committed to mass Third World immigration.
