The notification at the bottom of
the article says that Jochen Bittner is a political editor for the weekly
newspaper Die Zeit. And the article he wrote came under the title “What's
behind Germany 's
New Anti-Semitism,” published in the New York Times on September 17, 2014.
Like every article written on the
subject of the phenomenon they call anti-Semitism, the thing is blamed entirely
on someone else ... not even partially on the Jews or those who speak in their
name. And the difference between one article and the next – if and when there
is a discernible difference – is that each writer seeks to find an angle
through which to portray those they blame as people who need to be educated on
the subject. And this requires that the state allocate a budget for the Jews to
take-up the task of educating the public, they say.
In essence therefore, if we begin
with the premise that the human species does not naturally suffer from a
genetic defect called anti-Semitism, but that the eruption of the phenomenon
must be shared at least partially by the behavior of the Jews, we must conclude
that those who blame the entire phenomenon on others, are doing nothing less
than try to cash-in on a misery they inflict on what they call their (Jewish)
people. And this, in itself, adds to the reasons why ordinary people respond to
the Jewish request in ways that the Bittners of this world interpret not as
being a normal human revulsion, but an act of anti-Semitism. And the cycle
starts again simply because it is never allowed to end.
This is what Jochen Bittner is
responsible for in his article. To understand the twisted nature of the angle
through which he tackles the subject, we must unpack and study two phenomena
having to do with normal social behavior. The first is that human beings are
wired to explore, discover and learn. But the moment they discover that the
learning to which they are being subjected from above has taken on the quality
of indoctrination, the people reject it, even revolt against it.
Second, the intensity of the
revolt is determined by something we all experience at one time or another in
real life. To see this, imagine yourself working in an office, a factory or a
construction site. You do your job well and the boss is happy with you. One
day, the boss starts telling you to do things in a way you know is incorrect
but he or she insists that you do. You feel upset, especially because your
rival said this would be the proper way to doing things and you responded by
telling him or her to take a hike.
But now that the order has come
from the boss, you swallow your pride and do things as told. And then, one
fateful day, you discover that the boss and your rival had become close chums,
whereupon the boss is now totally under the influence of your rival. What he or
she tells you to do is what your rival says must be done. And this is when your
upset turns into fury. You are not furious because you are anti-somebody; you
are furious because the natural order of things has been turned on its head.
Well, when in a so-called
democracy, the Jews do what they boast with great pride they have been doing
throughout history, which is to get close to the political bosses of the
nations they infiltrate and practically take control of them; they may upset
the population somewhat. But when the Jews start changing things so as to
mobilize the nation, and make it work solely in the service of their causes,
the population begins to revolt. And it is this revolt that characters such as
Jochen Bittner falsely call anti-Semitism.
There is no doubt that most people
in Europe have reached this point. What will
break the camel's back will be the attempt to turn education about tolerance
and acceptance of the other into indoctrination about excusing the Jews no
matter what they do or how they behave. Already, education about the Holocaust
has become mandatory in some places, and there is an effort to make it
mandatory everywhere. The worst part is that this so-called education is used
to justify every behavior displayed by the Jewish organizations, and every
crime committed by Israel .
