‘Globalist’ doesn’t mean ‘Jew’

Drawing a comparison between anti-Semitic slurs from Tsarist Russia or Henry Ford's fervid ruminations, and today's analysis of the postwar world order is facile in the extreme. At the recent Jewish Leadership Conference, held in New York the day after the killings in Pittsburgh, Yoram Hazony, an Israeli philosopher whose recent book The Virtue of Nationalism defends vigorously the traditional nation-state, responded in an interview to the argument that criticism of "globalism" is anti-Semitic. "The word 'globalism,'" explained Hazony, "has been used for the last generation both in academic settings to describe a technical worldview that has nothing to do with Jews, and also in the public sphere to describe a broad political and intellectual vision that likewise has nothing to with Jews." Hazony continued: "There are always going to be bigots and haters who are twisting words and using them in all sorts of strange ways. . . . So many terms that have clear and normal meanings—and 'nationalism' and 'globalism' are just a few of them—are being interpreted as though their principal valence is about race and bigotry, that you cease to be able to have an intelligent conversation about the central ideas."

It is unsurprising that the Left has sought to tie the murderous hatred of Robert Bowers—who said explicitly that he thinks of President Trump as a "globalist" stooge of Jewish puppet-masters—to Trump's agenda of promoting American interests above a nebulous vision of global progress, because the Left is committed to pursuing that latter vision at all costs. Its hatred of Trump and his millions of deplorable supporters is so intense, and at this point so beyond reason, that it pounces on a savage act of hatred as an opportunity to score political points.

Me too. And I don’t like the U.N. or E.U. but I understand why, for example, my grandparents and relatives overseas flipped when Brexit happened. A united, war-less Europe is their dream. There are many reasons why the E.U. is unsuccessful. Personally, I believe Pope Benedict XVI explained it well:

I have not thought of globalism as meaning a single world government, but rather a world where no government interferes with the progress of global corporate entities.

Perhaps the world corporate entities that imagine they can call the shots would look a lot like a world government.

However I agree this has nothing to do with Judaism.

I was reading some article the other day, and they spoke of globalism in terms of the UN agencies being in charge of the world’s activity in their particular area. It seemed to me to be just a short step to promoting everything being combined under one global UN government.
