The Jhmoon (Jewish Shmoon), aka Jews for a Second Holocaust

Al Cap's L'il Abner comic strip featured a plump and armless creature known as a Shmoo (plural Shmoon). The Shmoon were so accommodating that, if a person looked at it with an expression of hunger, it would cook itself as whatever kind of meat the person desired.

The Shmoon are purely fantasy but, as shown by Michael Lerner's Tikkun.org and Eric Yoffie's Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), there seem to be plenty of Jhmoon who would be delighted to turn themselves into lampshades and soap for the sake of political correctness. They are also known as the JudenRAT (Jews for Rapproachment and Appeasment of Terrorists), aka JudenRats, aka Jews for a Second Holocaust, aka Jewish DHIMMIs (Dupes, Helpful Idiots, and Misguided Morons for Islamofascism).

To understand the true meaning of Jhmoon, imagine Jews who would vote for Adolf Hitler and then jump into the cattle car if it was the politically correct thing to do.

In last year's election, for example, Democratic candidate John Kerry, a moral albeit not legal traitor to our country's Armed Forces, knew he could count on the Jhmoon to vote for him even while he consorted openly with a proven racist and anti-Semite. Kerry welcomed Al "Juden Raus" Sharpton of Krystallnacht, excuse me, Crown Heights riots and Freddy's Fashion Market arson fame to give a major speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention: the moral equivalent of inviting the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. The Jhmoon even voted for him after he embraced the support of America-hater Michael Moore, who described the terrorists who are murdering our soldiers as "Minutemen," and of billionaire international financier, convicted inside trader, and Israel-hater George Soros, who also called the United States a "threat to world peace."

Recall that the Islamofascist enemy often slanders pro-Israel Jewish-Americans as having "divided loyalties." This is strange because one will find few if any pro-Israel Jewish-Americans who call terrorists who murder American soldiers "Minutemen," slander American soldiers with phony war crime allegations, call our country "a threat to world peace," or consort with those who do. Less-than-loyal Jewish-Americans like Soros camp with their own kind, namely less-than-loyal Gentile-Americans like Moore and Kerry. They find common ground with the idea that there is no moral difference between Judeo-Christian Civilization (as represented by the United States and Israel) and Islamofascist barbarism.

Now we come to Jhmoon like Rabbi Eric Yoffie of the URJ. As described by Mona Charen,

The Union for Reform Judaism thus makes common cause with those who object to Israel's attempt to defend herself, even to prevent suicide murderers from entering the country. The security fence has already saved countless Israeli lives, while offering the Palestinians their first opportunity for total self-rule in Gaza. Furthermore, two of the URJ's chief Jhmoon wasted no time in blaming the United States for the problems in Iraq, as if Saddam's shredding his political opponents alive while his son Uday threw woman to attack dogs for entertainment were not problems:

In a letter to President Bush alerting him to the URJ's action, Robert Heller and Rabbi Eric Yoffe lost no opportunity to flaunt their supposed moral sensitivity. Calling the war a "major tragedy" that has "discredited … America in the international community" and "contributed to the growth of terrorism..." Now I seem to remember seeing the URJ's chief Jhmoon somewhere before. Actor Donald Sutherland portrayed Eric Yoffie, Robert Heller, Tikkun Magazine's Michael Lerner, Noam Chomsky, or Judenrat leader Adam Czerniakow (it's so difficult to tell them apart) in the movie Uprising, about the Warsaw Ghetto resistance of 1944. Had it been up to Yoffie, of course, the Warsaw Jews would have had no weapons whatsoever.

In May 2000, many Reform Jews traveled to Washington for the Million Mom March, where Rabbi Eric Yoffie called gun control a religious obligation. "Our gun-flooded society has turned weapons into idols," he said, "and the worship of idols must be recognized for what it is--blasphemy." I don't know which Torah calls weapon control a religious obligation, unless Yoffie was reading messages on a music roll in a stall in the Brady Campaign's (formerly Handgun Control Inc.'s) restroom. If so, I can understand his confusion because the Torah also comes in rolls, although it is parchment instead of soft perforated paper and it is written in Hebrew. In any event, Yoffie is doing his best to disarm all Americans during a time in which his Islamofascist counterparts are proclaiming another "religious obligation" as described in Mortimer Zuckerman's "A Fulcrum Moment" (U.S. News & World Report, December 19 2005).

In a country [Palestinian-controlled areas] where... the killing of Jews is presented as a relgious obligation-- labeling them the enemies of Allah, all to be annihilated. So Jhmoo-in-Chief Eric Yoffie proclaims that Jewish-Americans have a relgious obligation to attack their own Second Amendment rights and those of their their Christian neighbors (known to the enemy as Kafirs, Infidel Pigs, and Dhimmis) while his Palestinian counterparts proclaim a religious obligation to kill Jews. The latter statement, in conjunction with the well-known Islamofascist position on what is to be done with Christians, is a strong argument for not one but two or more guns in the home of every "infidel" in the United States as well as Israel.

Yoffie is of course far from the only Jhmoo in the United States. Michael Lerner's Tikkun.org also seems to consider terrorists and those who fight terrorists to be at the same moral plane, and of course we have Noam Chumpsky and Rabbis for Human Rights as Long as the Humans Are Palestinians and not Israeli Civilians Who Merely Want to Exercise Their Natural Human Right to Not Be Blown Up by Nail Bombs. ("Rabbis for Human Rights" for short.)

If the Jhmoon want to gas themselves or turn themselves into lampshades and soap, it is of course their right to do so as long as they don't drag our country down with them. The instant they try to do the latter as URJ has done, they become every bit as much an enemy as a fifth column organization like the International Solidarity Movement and must be attacked with whatever legal and nonviolent methods are applicable and available.

Had it been up to (Rabbi Eric) Yoffie, of course, the Warsaw Jews would have had no weapons whatsoever.

Had Yoffie's kind been armed at Warsaw they would've meekly surrendered their weapons and marched themselves into cattle cars headed to death camps rather than fight.

I've been driven to using the term "invincible ignorance" on the Darwin threads, and I'm greatly tempted to use it here.

But maybe "self-hating" is more apt, because I believe these attitudes are connected with the academic malaise that has decended upon the formerly civilized world.

Basically, it's a kind of cheerful nihilism. Nothing has any meaning, there are no basic principles, life is a product of accidental material forces, love is nothing but sex with illusions. Strip away the mask and you are left with--nothing.

You don't really feel anything for other people, so you have to find some ideological system to tell you what to do.

So, who wouldn't hate himself if those were his basic beliefs? What seems to remain is what Harold Bloom has called the lemming instinct. Leftists feel a basic urge to run in herds, like lemmings, and if the head leftists are taking them over a cliff, who is to question them? Far be it from any leftist to draw back from the herd for a minute and think for himself.

If a leftist parts company with the rest of the lemming herd over a single point of ideology, he will be driven out of the warm, comfortable herd and have to fend for yourself. That possibility frightens them worse than anything else, because thinking for themselves when they believe in nothing but a vast empty darkness beyond the small region lit by ideological memes is not something they can face.

Just how does that relate to this rubbishy article? Someone could disagree with the author for the best of moral reasons, and he'd call them Nazis or self-haters, and you'd label him a nihilist.

This is the "nuclear option" applied to differences of opinion -- if you disagree with me you believe in nothing, have a death wish, or are just plain evil. That sort of argument doesn't lead anywhere.

It's not just leftists who have that problem. There are lemmings and would-be head lemmings elsewhere in the political spectrum as well. Once you believe that those who see things differently believe in nothing, you're set to become another lemming. To believe that people who disagree are bent on your destruction or their own is a good way to be comfortable in the herd as you rush to the cliffs.

Evidently you haven't had many dealings with academic leftists.

I don't know many people like that. The peacenik kids I knew pretty much grew out of it. Obnoxious liberal teachers were obnoxious in so many ways that politics certainly wasn't at the root of their troubles. A religious or political conversion might have made them better, but more likely it would just have given them new targets for their anger.

I don't know much about Michael Lerner and the others attacked in the article, but I doubt they want a "Second Holocaust." People who write that way aren't making a rational argument. They're looking for a lemming-like emotional response. What the author says may be true or may not, but he hasn't proven his case. Therefore, I don't encourage his way of argument.

Now is the time for all good Jews to come to the aid of Israel--

Scream, holler, confront--do anything you can to persuade the liberal Jews to listen to reason and turn their faces back toward Jerusalem.

I think there's a distinct possibility--I'd even call it a probability--that with GW we have seen our last pro-Israel president.
