I am sure you are as surprised as most of us that you got your say on Israeli television (the one place in the world the Jews really do control the media). Not only that, but the anchor was way too polite to you, considering your detestable views on Jews and other groups.
But I want to specifically address your calling yourself a White Zionist during that interview in the sense of claiming you care about “your people” (i.e. Whites) and want a secure homeland for yourselves.
Sure, there are those who think you have a point – even some fellow Jews. But I hate to break it to you – they don’t understand what Zionism – or even Judaism – is truly about.
As someone who does, allow me to educate you.
Zionism is nothing more than the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel. You see, since we were exiled thousands of years ago, we never gave up hope of returning. This is expressed in our Jewish prayers and religious observance.
Zionism is not about racial superiority or making life hell for others – despite the claims of your fellow antisemites and ignoramuses (including some of my fellow Jews). It is about our history, our religion, our beliefs. We are taught not to “oppress a stranger” – we are to live in peace with our fellow non-Jewish citizens. Except those who try to kill us – the Torah also gives us the mandate to defend ourselves. After all, the 10 Commandments say “Do Not Murder”, not “Do Not Kill” – an acknowledgement of killing in self-defense.
Sure, your ilk love quoting the fact we believe we are the Chosen People. But this is nothing to do with feelings of superiority over other peoples. It is about spreading the light of morality throughout the world. It is actually a heavy burden, for which we have paid a huge price over the centuries. Given the idea of one G-d and judicial systems is prevalent across the world, I’d say we have achieved this to a large degree. Of course, given the current state of the world – which includes people like you spreading your filth – we still have so much work to do.
Our non-Jewish citizens in Israel have equal rights. Sure, given the issue that many of them also want us destroyed, it does complicate things. But we continue to seek peace, and do the best we can. Anyone but the Jew hater and intellectually dishonest can see this.
You, on the other hand, have contempt for those you do not define as White. You want the US exclusively for White people. This is racism, plain and simple. Zionism is nothing like this – it is the opposite – but I am sure you are pleased your statement connecting the two is being used against us.
I have been very outspoken about the antisemitic Left, but that is not to say I do not consider you and your views utterly repugnant, and the actions of your fellow travelers dangerous and a real threat. It is just that I believe you will be consigned to the dustbin of history quicker than the antisemites on the Left, who currently enjoy more support by virtue of the fact they hide their Jew hatred behind the excuse of caring for human rights. You are, frankly, too dumb to do this.
You might have the smooth talk, pretty boy hair and veneer of respectability, but you are truly as ugly as they come. May this be the last we hear of you.
Very well said Dave. I can’t stand it when neo-Nazis (OK, they’re real Nazis, nothing neo about them) try to coopt Zionism or Judaism for their own twisted purposes. They are simply the other side of the coin to the extreme left who do the same thing (witness Linda Sarsour expressing her “solidarity with her Jewish brothers and sisters”.) It’s sickening.
As I have pronounced here before on the radical right and radical left, a pox on both your houses.
I share the sentiment.
And people who demand Trump apologize for telling the truth are guilty of perpetuating the very division they fear.
They are empowering the extremes to tear down a great country.
I don’t apologize for nationalism; I resent people who try to discredit it in the name of their ulterior and self-serving agendas.
I’d suggest a somewhat more nuanced approach.
Dear Richard Spencer:
$&#* off.
The main problem: who is white? Spencer doesn’t define it.
His nationalism is the mirror image of the black nationalists – it fails because it doesn’t bring people together; it divides them.
Even white South Africa isn’t exactly a role model: whites were unified by values that transcended race alone.
Without moral and ethical values, no nation can exist. This is something Spencer doesn’t grasp.
What this inbred, twisted, ignorant asshole does get, that the “intellectually elite” left don’t, is that Jews are not white!
Jews are the people of many colors. Like Joseph’s famous coat. Its not a term of reproach; just the opposite!
I meant that we are not white colonialists etc. I’m quite glad that this odious man and his ilk do not consider Jews as “White Americans”.
This will not stop hordes on the left from making countless memes showing Spencer and being plastered with “This is the face of Zionism,” or some other tripe.
Maybe it is time to move to Israel with anti Semitic talk and actions being accepted these days especially with some Jewish support for the wrong side like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS achor people…etc. Including the Dems and leftist groups. Backlash will come very soon.
It is ironic all of the Neo-nazis are against Zionism, when the need for Zionism really took charge after the nazis did what they did in the 40s
I think the C-ville mess was a blessing in disguise, as it showed both sides as the clowns they are. ANTIFA is more or less an already known quantity and quality (as in lack of), and seeing the clowns on the so-called “far right” has made them a known quantity that cannot be ignored any more.
As a Conservative-minded person, I am in support of Trump, but I have one nagging criticism about the alt-right: The infestation of antisemitic morons like Andrew Anglin, Richard Spencer and Christopher Cantwell and the fact that they were ignored (And those warning of their presence shouted down), or worse, given legitimacy while hiding behind the tenet of freedom of speech. Even worse, their presence gives conservatism’s foes ammunition to use against us.
Being represented by washed-up drug-dealers-turned-anarcho-fascist-loudmouths (Cantwell) and disgusting internet trolls (Anglin) is as counter-productive as it gets.
Note: I find it very hypocritical how types like Spencer hide behind Freedom of Speech, due to their obvious love of totalitarian regimes like Mussolini’s fascists or the Nazis. Lest we forget, those two regimes had the same level of love for Freedom of Speech as the Soviets did…
