No such thing as empathic pain of the collective

Jonathan Deluty is a character that never served in the US military but served in the Israeli military. Still he wants you to believe he is as much an American as he is an Israeli. He earns his living not by producing something, but by making big bucks flipping real estate in America. He takes the profit and flies by night to Israel where the money is used by others to build more settlements for Jews on stolen Palestinian lands.

Jonathan Deluty is unhappy about something these days, and he is talking about it publicly. In fact, he wrote an article to express his sorrow under the title: “Don't compare the Situation on the Border to the Holocaust,” and the subtitle: “Doing so shamefully downplays the scale of the 20th century's worst horror.” It was published on July 16, 2019 in National Review Online.

This is just one of dozens of articles written mostly by Jews, “warning” gentiles about using language or certain expressions or certain words that the Jews have appropriated for themselves. In fact, the use of the word warning in this context is not an exaggeration when you consider the scandal that has erupted in Montreal some 25 or 30 years ago. It's the story of a judge that was hounded off the bench because he compared the suffering of a man whose vengeful wife tied him up and slowly cut his throat with a dull knife to make him suffer as much as possible while in the process of bleeding to death.

Well, those who hounded that Montreal judge did not have to explain themselves. They were herded like sheep into expressing horror without knowing what they were supposed to be horrified about. Unlike them, however, we know what we're supposed to be horrified about because we have an eyewitness account of what happened during the Holocaust of the 20th century. It is a letter that “grandfather Moshe” wrote to his relatives. Its content is revealed to us, courtesy of grandson Jonathan Deluty. Here it is:

“‘They expelled us in cattle cars to Auschwitz. My brother and I were sent to a concentration camp.’ Moshe and David were starving slave laborers for more than two years in a concentration camp, after which they were forced on a death march. When he finally escaped the Nazis by jumping off a transport train and running through the forest several weeks before the end of the war, my grandfather weighed roughly 100 pounds. That is what an actual concentration camp does to a person”.

Was that suffering more painful than the man whose vengeful wife tied him up and slowly cut his throat with a dull knife to make him suffer as much as possible while in the process of bleeding to death? Was it more painful than the suffering of children that died while aching physically and psychologically as they called out for their mothers and fathers who weren't there to comfort them because the authorities had decreed that the children must be separated from their parents?

Surely, the Jews that write articles similar to that of Jonathan Deluty know they are not going to persuade anyone that every Jew of yesteryear's concentration camp had suffered more than any gentile can possibly suffer today. So, why do they keep fishing from the archive examples of Jews whose suffering in the past pales compared to the suffering of thousands of gentiles today? Worse, they mindlessly discuss these examples as if they were the winning trump card of their argument. What are these Jews up to now?

Well, there is no escaping the conclusion that the Jews seek to establish the concept of collective empathy. They want to make it so that every past example will come to represent the collective pain and destruction of all the Jews. And here is the catch: It is not only the pain and destruction of the six million that perished in the twentieth century; it is also the pain and destruction of all the Jews alive today and those who will be tomorrow and thereafter. Well, whatever scheme this is, it's ambitious. But what's the utility in all of this?

When you come down to it, you'll find that the utility is hidden in two convoluted concepts.

First, they want to bestow the power of victimhood upon every Jew to wear on their chest like a medal of honor from cradle to grave. They want all Jews –– be they paupers in Israel living on Christian charity or pedophile billionaires running shady financial schemes –– to have a claim on society they can monetize anytime they need to. And they want to make the expression, “I am a Jew” the password that opens all doors into which the Jew can walk and get what he or she desires without being asked to explain their actions.

Second, they want to make it so that the Jews can automatically claim ownership of every precious art object or what have you that's discovered in some neglected warehouse anywhere in the world. And they want to take possession of that treasure if no one else can conclusively establish ownership of it.

All of this says that the time has come for society to tell these Jews, they can no longer claim they feel the pain of those who suffered decades ago, and ask to be treated preferentially simply because those who suffered then were thought to be Jews, and those who live the good life today claim to be Jews.
