不喜欢某些种族是种族主义;平等地看待犹太人是反犹主义的

了解反犹太主义的特殊性

我们需要感谢乌比·戈德堡(Whoopi Goldberg)和许多人,他们重新认识到反犹太主义是种族主义。

犹太人并没有被赋予特权。就像生活在散居地的亚洲人一样,犹太人只是非常努力地工作,试图处理压迫。那不是特权,那是汗水、鲜血和眼泪。

然而,有一个很好的理由不要仅仅称反犹太主义只是种族主义的一种形式。它是一种有非常具体规则的动物,因为没有像犹太那样的文化或宗教。虽然所有民族都是独一无二的,但有些民族比其他民族更特别。这并不意味着,尽管我们很可爱,但我们比别人更有价值。具体来说,当G^d称我们为他眼中的苹果时,他并不意味着他会偏袒我们。相反,他的意思是他会以更高的标准要求我们。但是,首先,当偏执狂以更高的标准要求犹太人时,这就是——你猜对了——偏执。当我们犹太人发挥自己的潜力时,我们就等于发挥自己潜力的外邦人。(如果后者能达到犹太人的标准,他们被邀请加入我们犹太人。

“种族”其实就是文化。我们都是智者智者:一个种族。西方种族主义者(纳粹)痴迷于遗传、体格和肤色。但非西方种族主义者往往不关心血统,只关心宗教习俗、忠诚和身份。

考虑到一个种族,一种文化比其他所有文化更好或更差,那就是种族主义。没有人完全由他们的背景或身份来定义。在所有糕点中,你有坏饼干。不要歧视。

然而,猶太人是唯一不僅基於實踐、地點或信仰的國家。犹太人是唯一基于任务的人。他们神圣命定的任务是成为全人类的榜样。成为G^d在地球上的大使,为每个人的利益而战。

这意味着,当一个人说犹太人和其他人一样时,你就是一个偏执狂。你不需要看不起犹太人才能成为反犹主义者。

当我们的父母说他们想成为我们的朋友时,这很好。但我们最好也尊重他们作为老师。完全平等他们就是贬低他们和傲慢我们。當猶太人說他們想成為每個人的朋友和盟友時,這很好。但外邦人最好也尊重他们作为他们的老师。完全平等他们就是贬低他们和傲慢。注意:我们不是基督徒的“哥哥”。希伯来圣经中有太多的哥哥被弟弟忽略了。我们是他们的父母。

而且,犹太人应该与外邦人没有什么不同的想法已经意味着反对犹太人。好像他们应该适应大多数人的规范,融合,并同化。

反对异族通婚是种族主义。一对夫妇中的两种文化丰富了双方。但许多犹太人嫁出去会帮助犹太人消亡。这也意味着伴随着自我憎恨,就好像任何非犹太人都会让个人安全离开反犹太主义危险区一样。欧洲和阿拉伯犹太人结婚就足够了。这在以色列以前所未有的程度发生。在以色列以外,我们找不到如此比例的白人与非白人结婚。

说N字是种族主义的。它弄脏了你的嘴。但是,在讨论反犹太主义时,最好列出所有的刻板印象,因为对犹太人的压迫的一部分是否认它。

对家园的偏见会伤害散居海外的少数民族。对非洲人的偏见(“原始人”、“头脑发热”)贬低了世界各地的黑人移民。对亚洲人(“神秘人”)的偏见使世界各地的亚洲移民失去人性。但是,针对以色列的宣传像其他少数民族一样伤害了散居海外的犹太人。犹太复国主义之于犹太人,就像女权主义之于女性一样。“喜欢女人但不喜欢女权主义者”的男人表明他们不喜欢女人;相反,他们喜欢被服务。“喜欢犹太人但不喜欢犹太复国主义者”的犹太人和外邦人表明他们喜欢犹太人,只要他们一直感到害怕,这样他们就可以纵来服侍和安慰外邦人的力量;但不是当他们独立和为自己感到自豪的时候。

犹太教奠定了世界上所有一神论(One G^d)、科学(一个宇宙)和民主(平等)的大部分基础。这就是为什么对犹太人的仇恨是最终的忘恩负义,向亚伯拉罕、摩西、耶稣、爱因斯坦和赫茨尔泼泥巴。因此,大屠杀无法与包括亚美尼亚在内的任何其他种族灭绝相提并论 - 尽管它们都是可怕的。

交叉性似乎是为了促进反犹主义而设计的。它主张比较压迫,看看它们是如何交织在一起的。因为反犹太主义是如此独特,而且因为犹太人被社会高层扣为人质(并被指责为所有弊病负责),它往往最终将所有受压迫的群体联合起来反对犹太人,犹太人是最古老的仇恨的受害者。

因此,你会看到有理由不把反犹太主义仅仅视为种族主义的一种形式。犹太人的压迫太具体了。这是一种特殊的偏执。

Understand the specialty of Antisemitism

We need to thank Whoopi Goldberg and the many who answered her so well with the renewed realization that Antisemitism is Racism.

Jews are not overprivileged. Just like Asians living in their Diaspora, Jews just work super hard to try and get a handle on the oppression. That’s not privilege—that’s sweat, blood, and tears.

However, there is a good reason not to just call Antisemitism only a form of Racism. It’s an animal with very specific rules since there is no culture or religion like the Jewish one. While all Peoples are unique, some are more special than others. Which doesn’t mean, as adorable as we are, that we’re more worthy than others. To be specific, when G^d calls us the Apple of His Eye, He doesn’t mean He’s going to treat us with favoritism. Instead, He means that He will hold us to a higher standard. But, to make things complicated for starters, when bigots hold Jews to a higher standard, that’s—you guessed it—bigotry. When we Jews live up to our potential we are equal to Gentiles who live up to their potential. (If the latter could live up to the Jewish standard, they are invited to join us Jews.)

‘Race’ is actually culture. We’re all homo sapience sapience: one race. Western racists (Nazis) got obsessed with genetics, build, and skin color. But non-Western racists often don’t care about lineage, only about religious practice, loyalty, and identity.

Considering one ethnicity, one culture better or worse than all others is Racism. No one is completely defined by their background or identity. And among all pastry, you have bad cookies. Don’t discriminate.

Yet, Jews are the only Nation not just based on practice, location, or beliefs. Jews are the only People based on an assignment. And their Divinely ordained task is to be exemplary to all of humanity. To be G^d’s ambassadors on earth, fighting for the good of everyone.

That means that when one says that Jews are just like everyone else, you’re a bigot. You don’t need to look down on Jews to be Antisemitic.

When our parents say they want to be our friends, that’s nice. But we better also respect them as teachers. Totally equalizing them is demeaning them and arrogant of us. When Jews say they want to be everyone’s friends and allies, that’s nice. But Gentiles better also give them respect as their teachers. Totally equalizing them is demeaning them and arrogant. NB: We are not Christians ‘Older brother.’ Too many older brothers in the Hebrew Bible were passed over by younger sibs. We are their parents.

And, the idea that Jews should be no different than Gentiles already implies opposing Jews. As if they should adjust to majority norms, integrate, and assimilate away.

Being against mixed marriages is racist. Two cultures in one couple enrich both partners. But many Jews marrying out helps Jews to die out. It also means going along with self-hatred as if anything non-Jewish would give a personal safe passage out of the Antisemitic danger zone. European and Arab Jews marrying each other is enough marrying out already. And that happens in Israel to an unprecedented degree. Outside of Israel, nowhere do we find such a percentage of Whites marrying non-Whites.

Saying the N-word is racist. It dirties your mouth. But, when discussing Antisemitism, it’s good to list all the stereotypes because part of the oppression of Jews is to deny it.

Bias against homelands can hurt minorities in the Diaspora. Prejudices against Africans (‘primitives,’ ‘hotheads’) devalue Black migrants around the world. Prejudices against Asians (‘mystical people’) dehumanize Asian migrants the world over. But propaganda against Israel hurts Jews in their Diaspora like no other minority. Zionism is to Jews what feminism is to women. Men who ‘like women but not feminists’ show they don’t like women; rather, they like being served. Jews and Gentiles who ‘like Jews but not Zionists’ show they like Jews as long as they feel scared all the time so that they can be manipulated to serve and comfort the Gentile powers to be; but not when they are independent and proud of themselves.

Judaism laid much of the foundation of all Monotheism (One G^d), Science (One Universe), and Democracy (Equality) in the world. That’s why hatred of Jews is the ultimate ungratefulness, throwing mud on Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Einstein, and Herzl. And therefore, the Holocaust doesn’t compare to any other genocide, Armenian included—though they are all horrific.

It seems that Intersectionality was designed to promote Antisemitic. It advocates comparing oppressions and seeing how they are all interwoven. Because Antisemitism is so unique, and because Jews are kept hostage by the top level of societies (and blamed for all ills), it often ends up uniting all oppressed groups against the Jews, the victims of the oldest hatred.

And so, you see there is reason not to just regard Antisemitism as one of the forms of Racism. Jews-oppression is too specific. It’s a special bigotry.

ABOUT THE AUTHORMM is a prolific and creative writer and thinker, an almost daily blog contributor to the Times of Israel, and previously, for decades, he was known to the Jerusalem Post readers as a frequent letter writer. He often makes his readers laugh, mad, or assume he's nuts—close to perfect blogging. He's proud that his analytical short comments are removed both from left-wing and right-wing news sites. None of his content is (partly) generated by AI. * As a frontier thinker, he sees things many don't yet. He's half a prophet. Half. Let's not exaggerate. He doesn't believe that people observe and think in a vacuum. He, therefore, wanted a broad bio that readers interested can track a bit about what (lack of) backgrounds, experiences, and education contribute to his visions. * If you don't know the Dutch, get an American peek behind the scenes here: https://youtu.be/QMPp6h6r72M * To find less-recent posts on subject XXX among his 2000 archived ones, go to the right-top corner of a Times of Israel page, click on the search icon and search "zuiden, XXX". One can find a second, wilder blog, to which one may subscribe, here: https://mmvanzuiden.wordpress.com/. * Like most of his readers, he believes in being friendly, respectful, and loyal. Yet, if you think those are his absolute top priorities, you might end up disappointed. His first loyalty is to the truth. He will try to stay within the limits of democratic and Jewish law, but he won't lie to support opinions or people who don't deserve that. He admits that he sometimes exaggerates to make a point, which could have him come across as nasty, while in actuality, he's quite a lovely person to interact with. He holds - how Dutch - that a strong opinion doesn't imply intolerance of other views. * Sometimes he's misunderstood because his wide and diverse field of vision seldomly fits any specialist's box. But that's exactly what some love about him. He has written a lot about Psychology (including Sexuality and Abuse), Medicine (including physical immortality), Science (including basic statistics), Politics (Israel, the US, and the Netherlands, Activism), Oppression and Liberation (intersectionally, for young people, the elderly, non-Whites, women, workers, Jews, LGBTQIA+, foreigners and anyone else who's dehumanized or exploited), Integrity, Philosophy, Jews (Judaism, Zionism, Holocaust, and Jewish Liberation), the Climate Crisis, Ecology and Veganism, Affairs from the news, or the Torah Portion of the Week, or new insights that suddenly befell him. * His most influential teachers (chronologically) are his parents, Nico (natan) van Zuiden and Betty (beisye) Nieweg, Wim Kan, Mozart, Harvey Jackins, Marshal Rosenberg, Reb Shlomo Carlebach, and, lehavdil bein chayim lechayim, Rabbi Dr. Natan Lopes Cardozo, Rav Zev Leff, and Rav Meir Lubin. * One of his rabbis calls him Mr. Innovation [Ish haChidushim]. Yet, his originalities seem to root deeply in traditional Judaism, though they may grow in unexpected directions. In fact, he claims he's modernizing nothing. Rather, mainly basing himself on the basic Hebrew Torah text, he tries to rediscover classical Jewish thought almost lost in thousands of years of stifling Gentile domination and Jewish assimilation. (He pleads for a close reading of the Torah instead of going by rough assumptions of what it would probably mean and before fleeing to Commentaries.) This, in all aspects of life, but prominently in the areas of Free Will, Activism, Homosexuality for men, and Redemption. * He hopes that his words will inspire and inform, and disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. He aims to bring a fresh perspective rather than harp on the obvious and familiar. He loves to write encyclopedic overviews. He doesn't expect his readers to agree. Rather, original minds should be disputed. In short, his main political positions are among others: anti-Trumpism, anti-elitism, anti-bigotry and supremacy, for Zionism, Intersectionality, and non-violence, anti those who abuse democratic liberties, anti the fake ME peace process, for original-Orthodoxy, pro-Science, pro-Free Will, anti-blaming-the-victim, and for down-to-earth, classical optimism, and happiness. * He is a fetal survivor of the pharmaceutical industry (https://diethylstilbestrol.co.uk/studies/des-and-psychological-health/), born in 1953 to parents who were Dutch-Jewish Holocaust survivors who met in the largest concentration camp in the Netherlands, Westerbork. He grew up a humble listener. It took him decades to become a speaker too. Bullies and con artists almost instantaneously envy and hate him. * He holds a BA in medicine (University of Amsterdam) – is half a doctor. He practices Re-evaluation Co-counseling since 1977, is not an official teacher anymore, and became a friendly, empowering therapist. He became a social activist, became religious, made Aliyah, and raised three wonderful kids non-violently. For a couple of years, he was active in hasbara to the Dutch-speaking public. He wrote an unpublished tome about Jewish Free Will. He's being a strict vegan since 2008. He's an Orthodox Jew but not a rabbi. He lives with his library in Jerusalem. Feel free to contact him. * His writing has been made possible by a (second-generation) Holocaust survivors' allowance from the Netherlands. It has been his dream since he was 38 to try to make a difference by teaching through writing. He had three times 9-out-of-10 for Dutch at his high school finals but is spending his days communicating in English and Hebrew - how ironic. G-d must have a fine sense of humor. In case you wonder - yes, he is a bit dyslectic. If you're a native English speaker and wonder why you should read from people whose English is only their second language, consider the advantage of having an original peek outside of your cultural bubble. * To send any personal reaction to him, scroll to the top of the blog post and click Contact Me. * His newest books you may find here: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AMoshe-Mordechai%2FMaurits+van+Zuiden&s=relevancerank&text=Moshe-Mordechai%2FMaurits+van+Zuiden&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1
