Alongside Anti-Semitism, ‘Occupy Judaism’
Frontpagemag ^ | 10-19-11 | Arnold Ahlert

In a testament to the myopic quality of Jewish liberalism, a parallel movement known as Occupy Judaism (OJ) has sprung up amidst the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests in New York City and around the country. “We’re going global with this,” said Daniel Sieradski, a New York Jewish activist who took a lead role in organizing a Yom Kippur service close to the Occupy Wall Street protests. The myopia? Sieradski, along with his followers, is apparently oblivious to the historic reality that anti-capitalist movements have always had an element of anti-Semitism attached to them.

As New American columnist Daniel Sayani points out, the OWS, despite self-professed notions that they are leading a new movement “are merely perpetuating the socialist belief that Jews are to blame for ‘social injustice,’ an idea that began with Proudhon.” Proudhon was a self-professed anarchist who published What is Property? Or, An Inquiry Into the Principle of Right and Government in 1840. He inspired Karl Marx, who maintained a years-long correspondence with the author. In 1844, Marx himself wrote “On the Jewish Question,” (alternatively entitled “A World Without Jews”) in which he blames the Jews for the same “income inequality” and “dollar worship” that irks many of today’s protesters.

Furthermore, Sayani points out, the American Left’s favorite economist, John Maynard Keynes, whose economic policies “of bailouts, central banking, and massive governmental intervention to ‘stabilize’ output over the business cycle” was himself an anti-Semite who once stated, “It is not agreeable to see civilization so under the ugly thumbs of its impure Jews who have all the money and the power and brains.”

Sieradski acknowledges that there are elements of anti-Semitism among the demonstrators, but he considers them a small fringe element that has “chosen to co-opt the protests as an opportunity” to spread such prejudice.

Leftist dems like Pelosi, Conyers, and Waters LOVE to talk about “codewords.” Well, anytime you hear “protesters” say the words “Wall Street” or “banker” they are using their own code words for “JEWS!”

I’ve got a guy on Facebook calling them “Fake Jews” because they are Ashkenazi. His name is Frank Curcio. Look him up on Facebook and call him on it.

Actually, the American Nazi Party DOES publicly approve of OWS, as does the Communist Party (CPUSA), as does the Iranian Grand Ayatolla, as does Hugo Chavez, as does Nanci Pelosi, as does Barak Obama.

Birds of a feather.

The following planks of the Nationalist (Nazi) Party of Germany, adopted in Munich on February 24, 1920:

We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living.

The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all.

Therefore, we demand:

an end to the power of the financial interests .

We demand profit sharing in big business.

We demand a broad extension of care for the aged.

We demand. . . the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of the national, state, and municipal governments.

In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our system of public education. . . .

We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents. . . .

The government must undertake the improvement of public health — by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor — by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth.

We combat the . . . materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of " The Common Good Before the Individual Good ."

wow...that’s fascinating. Thanks for posting!
It does very closely parallel some of the demand lists dribbling out from OWS, doesn’t it?

Cursio is enraged because Ashkenazi Jews share the world’s highest intelligence, one standard deviation above the median, with an average 112-115 IQ. I find it hard to square this with the butt-stupid Leftist philosophy of my fellow American Jews.

If you spend any time reading through nazi writings you’ll see the “ The Common Good Before the Individual Good “ theme repeated a lot.

A nazi judge named Walter Buch often used the term “Public need before private greed” in his opinions. Hitler himself said “Society’s needs come before the individual’s needs.”

“Gold is not necessary. I have no interest in gold. We will build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set prices, let him be marched off to a concentration camp. That’s the bastion of money.”

-Adolph Hitler.

I asked him if he had been reading The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Several comments later after I told him I knew the Radio Operator on the Exodus 1947. He launched into a rage about Israel being a sham land grab perpetrated by the Rothchilds. So I guess the answer to my question was yes. Well there is a genetic test for Ashkenazi ancestry but he said he’s never taken it. So let’s just assume it came back negative.
