Beth Bailey wants you to believe she is just a freelance writer who writes on subjects of interest to her. But when you examine her paper trail, you find it tracking what the Jewish High Command would want her to say at the time that she says it.
And so, she spoke on September
17 to inform the world that, “Lacking Holocaust
awareness just the surface of bleak anti-Semitism picture,” which was the title
of an article she wrote that made waves. This blog participated in the
discussion that followed with an article that came under the title: “Getting
ready to eat someone else's lunch,” published two notches below this one, on
September 20, 2020.
As it happened,
another article discussing the same subject was published two days earlier, on
September 18, 2020 under the title: “Stop fear-mongering. Holocaust education
is good – and it works.” It was written by Dr. Stephen D. Smith and published
in The Jewish Forward.
Unlike Beth Bailey who claims
she is just a freelancer Dr. Stephen Smith does not hide his credentials. He
doesn't mind that we tell he's Executive Director of the USC Shoah Foundation,
a professor of Religion and a theologian by training. He founded the UK
Holocaust Center in England and cofounded the Aegis Trust for the prevention of
genocide. He was the inaugural Chairman of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust,
the project director for the creation of the Kigali Genocide Memorial Center in
Rwanda, and trustee of the South African Holocaust and Genocide Foundation. He
holds the UNESCO Chair on Genocide Education.
To illustrate his points, Dr.
Stephen Smith quoted from a survey that was sponsored jointly by the
Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Yad Vashem and the USC Shoah Foundation. Its
purpose was to examine the effectiveness of Holocaust education in America.
In contrast, to illustrate her
points, Beth Bailey quoted from a survey that was sponsored by the Conference
on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. Its original purpose is obvious; it
was to serve as vehicle to level material claims against Germany, which is what
you see spelled out in the title of the Bailey article. But being who they are
at the Jewish High Command, they saw the opportunity to double-dip. And so,
they had Beth Bailey open another treasure chest for them, this time an
American chest.
Here is what Smith found in
the survey of the ADL/Yad Vashem/USC Shoah Foundation: “With the Holocaust
taught broadly throughout American high schools, 80% of US college students
reported receiving some Holocaust education, and knowing a lot or a moderate
amount about the Holocaust. In addition, 55% of those who received Holocaust
education met a survivor or watched video testimony.”
To put this thing in
perspective, he added the following: “The Claims Conference survey defined
'Knowledge' of the Holocaust as follows: A person has 'definitely heard of the
Holocaust' (78% said they had), can name at least one concentration camp, death
camp and ghetto (52% could name at least one), and knows that 6 million Jews
were killed in the Holocaust (37% did) … [on the other hand] How many Americans
can cite the number who died at Hiroshima? For how long the Vietnam War raged?
The racial terror known as Jim Crow? Let's say Jews were surveyed, and it was
found that a large number did not know the number of African slaves that were
brought to this continent. Would that make Jews racist?”.
Despite satisfying the
definition of the Claims Conference as described optimistically by Dr. Stephen
Smith, here is how Beth Bailey has pessimistically presented what she says she
found in the survey that was sponsored by that same Conference: “While 44% were
aware of Auschwitz, only 1% were aware of Buchenwald and Treblinka. About 23%
believed the Holocaust did not happen, were not sure whether the Holocaust
occurred, or thought that the number of victims was exaggerated. A startling
11% believe that Jews caused the Holocaust”.
To put this thing in
perspective, she added the following: “It doesn't seem privileged for Jews to
make up 2.2% of the nation's population and yet face 57.8% of its religiously
motivated hate crimes”.
Bailey's suggestion is that
the Jews have not been privileged in the past and they are not privileged now.
But she affirms that they are at a point where they need to be privileged over
everyone else because they are paying a price for being who they are. And this,
my friend, is a subtle way to call on the Federal and State governments to do
more for the Jews than they have already done.
Which forces us to ask a
serious question: Don't these people know that the more they are privileged,
the more they are resented by the public –– as would be anyone –– and the more
they’ll interpret that resentment as being manifestation of antisemitism?
Of course, they know. They
have been at it for hundreds of years, and they saw the death spiral play
itself out several times before. The problem is that those who appoint
themselves leaders over the Jews don't care what happens to the rank-and-file.
When they see that the day of
reckoning has approached, they'll protect themselves by the many ways they
developed to dodge the Holocaust while letting the little guys pay the price
for the resentment that society has built up watching the Jews pile up privileges
at the expense of its hardworking non-Jewish population.
In the past, the Jewish
leaders got away with their schemes because it was difficult for the
rank-and-file to know what was going on. Things have now changed due to the
progress achieved by the technology of communication. This is why the
rank-and-file has started to revolt, and may find a way to neutralize its
demonic leaders.
Also, given that the Jewish High Command has saturated the public square with the likes of Beth Bailey, it is urgent for governments around the world and their universities to encourage and protect the researchers who wish to work on digging out the real stories of the Holocaust, not those told by the likes of Beth Bailey.
