Antisemitism Isn’t About the Jews by Daniel Greenfield

Almost Heaven

Well-known
Antisemitism is about many things, but it’s usually about much bigger things than the Jews. That is one of the things that makes antisemitism different from any of the conventional bigotries.

Marxists and Communists, beginning with Marx himself, used antisemitism to define capitalism as an evil and oppressive ideology. “Money is the jealous god of Israel before whom no other god may exist,” Marx argued. “The god of the Jew has been secularized and has become the god of the world.” Marx disliked the Jews, despite his ancestry, but he hated capitalism more.

And he wanted everyone else to hate it by associating capitalism with the Jews.

The Nazis, who borrowed much from the Marxists, used the same attacks on capitalism, but they also had a larger cultural agenda and made use of an even more militant antisemitism to replace the moral principles of Christianity with a neo-pagan racial modernism in which the disabled would be killed, marriage would be swapped for genetically compatible breeding programs to create a ‘master race’ and Jesus would become an Aryan warrior myth.

Like many modernist radicals, including Marx and Voltaire, Hitler believed that the best way to get at Christianity was by going after its biblical roots to make the Jews the objects of contempt and hatred, and to ridicule everyone opposed to his program as being in thrall to the Jews.

The current antisemitism is also rarely about the Jews. Both the woke left and the woke right are using antisemitism to sideline party establishments by painting them as complicit with Israel.

And any other policies they don’t like.

Greenfield is his usual insightful and brilliant self. But the entire thing he uncovers is absolutely spiritual in nature. And it is only through the Holy Spirit that we can fight it. Christians need to make these things matters of intentional, focused prayer. Sure, we pray for ourselves and our families. And we pray for those we know who are in need. But do we pray for these things? We need to. Our being salt and light is vitally important, of course, in the physical world; but it is also critical in the spiritual world.
 
I have an Egyptian Jewish friend who i jokingly say that he's a modern day Moses whose a believer , however, he astonishingly is blaming the Jews for deceiving the world based on the general jewish conspiracy theories with Hollywood, the Rockefellers etc.

He also thinks that God has taken yhe kingdom away from the Jews.

I keep showing him scriptures to counter his views but he keeps geting caught up on these dumb instagram and yt videos that ate anti semitic.

It gets on my nerves and i keep asking why are you haying on your own kind ?????

He's not alone. Its the brainwashing. The "good" Jews agreed with their murderers just as they did in Germany- follow the rules, it'll be ok, it'll pass. George Soros's father made money selling his own people to the gas chambers. Egypt has a lot in common with Hitlers Germany.

It's that spiritual battle. He needs a lot of prayer to break free from that brainwashing. That he and his people somehow deserve the punishment they get.

I watched a clip of Mayim Bialik today (she's a former child actress now a doctorate of something or other) and a Jewish leftist American. She's not saved, but she is struggling with a similar type of brainwashing. Only she believed in the goodness of people in America, who wouldn't let Antisemitism rise again. Never again they said in school, but she's in shock because now "never again" is proved a lie, even in America, her home. Her beloved nation.

She was pouring out her grief over the fact that Anti Semitism doesn't care whether she's for Israel or for the Palestinians, they just want to kill her and her kind, and the reality of the Jew hatred exploding around the world since Oct of /23 has shocked her to the core.

But worst for her is the antisemitism at home in the USA where she used to feel safe. By the very party (Dems) that she as a good leftist supports.

Her now 18 year old son is ready to go to university but where to send him? Because none of the ones she thought were good have the ethics to say no to those campus mobs demanding Jewish blood.

- YouTube It's titled How it Feels to be a Jew in America in 2025. My heart goes out to her.

The ideals she based her life on have failed her and her people. Leftist Democrats and even some Right wing people are siding with the anti semites. Some call for killing Jews right alongside the Islamic mobs.

I look and see disillusion -America is not a refuge for the Jews anymore. America is not a friend they can count on at home in the USA or in Israel.

God is removing that option. Just as He did before WW2. Discouraging them from leaning on anyone but Him.

Removing their hope and trust in the goodness of humanity, in the American dream, in the hope of the USA to defend them within America or Israel.

We are getting so close.

God is preparing the Jews to stand alone, and turn to Him for salvation.
