Critique of the Charge of
Anti-Semitism:
Their biggest defensive
weapon
The pathetic label of
"Anti-Semitism"

There is no label more feared by prominent Gentiles than "anti-Semite." To receive this label is to kiss one's career goodbye. Well, sometimes a good old-fashioned, Marlon-Brandoesque retraction might save a career, but not without permanent damage. All politicians, journalists, stock brokers, lawyers, etc., had better know which side their bread is buttered on. Most of them do, which is how they make it to such positions in the first place. Many revisionists, even, preferring to remain apolitical, will simply deny anti-Semitic motives, and move on. This is legitimate, so long as one does not give tacit recognition to the absurd concept in the process. We at the SRRS choose to challenge this hollow accusation head-on.
We have recently discovered Paul Grubach's excellent article "A Critique of the Charge of Anti-Semitism," which perfectly outlines the problems we have with the concept.[...]
Also, the following is a passage from Neil Camberly's John Stuart Mill, Speech Prohibition, and "Neo-Nazism."
"Anti-Semitism" is a word the
Jews have developed to describe speech that is critical of Jewry. It
is used in almost exactly the same way the word 'scapegoating' is
used: to render Jews immune to criticism.
By assigning this one label to all speech regarding the Jews, which
the Jews don't like, they have created an atmosphere in which
everybody assumes that there is some old, familiar, ugly,
psychological illness which causes people to say negative things
about the Jews.
I have even heard it said by a Jew, about an Arab critic of Israeli
politics, that said critic suffers a "pathological hatred toward(of)
Jews." And that was for simply asking why Israel receives so many
billions of dollars from the US government!
We have all been led to think that there has been some enormous
history of frivolous accusations made against the Jews. We have all
heard some comedian or some professor or some author, jokingly refer
to the idiotic notion that the Jews are to blame for everything. This
has gone on endlessly for the last fifty years, and has had an
awesome impact on us all.
These respected comedians, professors, authors, etc., are virtually
invariably Jewish, or on a Jewish payroll. Well, there are some who
parrot this joke in order to be fashionable, as well. Of course it is
true that the Jewish nation is not to blame for everything. But it is
to blame for an overwhelmingly disproportionate amount of it.
This has been the case for hundreds of years, but only now has
pointing this out come to constitute "Anti-Semitism." True or not,
any detail pointed out is therefore indicative of malicious
intentions, or, at least, psychological illness. When things like the
things I am saying now are said, most people who read them become
disgusted. They feel sorry for the Jews, and feel that I am adding
insult to injury by saying these things.
I totally understand this feeling. I am the sort of person who feels
sorry for others and wants to help them. But this compassion
tendency, which is concentrated in my own race far more than it is in
others, can be taken advantage of very easily. I balance mine with
careful skepticism.
That's why I don't give my food or money to those guys standing by
the onramp with their cardboard signs, and that's why I don't buy
into the Hollywood-perpetuated idea that the Jews are some sort of
great victims. People don't understand that this
Hollywood-perpetuated idea of Jews being victims, (of all things!) is
a very new one.
It contrasts sharply with the experience of hundreds of years of our
forefathers. Its obtaining corresponds directly with the Jewish
nation's total victory in World War Two, and its introduction of
television to the Western world.
With experience of the Jews gotten only from Hollywood, it is
extremely easy to feel sorry for them. With a little bit of detailed
research into their actual role in history and their current role in
world affairs, it is extremely difficult to feel sorry for them.
