States of Exile

Mark's Jesus is a lonely and restless, mysterious stranger. His mission is dark and obscure. Everything he tries fails. By the end there is no God, no loyal followers, just torture by crucifixion, climaxing in a colossal death-scream. The story closes without a resurrection from the dead. There is just an empty tomb, and three women fleeing in terror. - John Carroll, The Existential Jesus As yet had he known only tears, and the melancholy of the Hebrews, together with the hatred of the good and just—the Hebrew Jesus: then was he seized with the longing for death. - Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra Look on his works, ye mighty, and despair.

Assyrians: Fellow Semites who already use the Hebrew alphabet. Black Hebrew Israelites : In honour of the Queen of Sheba. Dönmeh : Messianic Jews (Sabbatai Zevi, not Yeshua) of Anatolia. Messianic Jews: Jews who worship a Jew are still Jews. Palestinians: Just kidding. Syrian Malabar Nasrani : O.G. Hebrew Christians of India. Roma: Fellow recipients of Aryan hospitality.

In a mostly uninsightful article on why Jews vote liberal, Norman Podhoretz writes: Mr. McCain's long history of sympathy with Israel should have given him a distinct advantage over Mr. Obama, whose own history consisted of associating with outright enemies of the Jewish state like the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the historian Rashid Khalidi. Nevertheless, Mr. Obama beat Mr. McCain among Jewish voters by a staggering 57 points. Except for African Americans, who gave him 95% of their vote, Mr. Obama did far better with Jews than with any other ethnic or religious group. Thus the Jewish vote for him was 25 points higher than the 53% he scored with the electorate as a whole; 35 points higher than the 43% he scored with whites; 11 points higher than the 67% he scored with Hispanics; 33 points higher than the 45% he scored with Protestants; and 24 points higher than the 54% he scored with Catholics. Podhoretz misses a major part of the story. Jews did not vote againt McCain; they voted ag

This consciousness of being separate is a constant feature of our spiritual history. Separation is sometimes experienced as a wound that marks an internal division, an anguished awareness that invites self-examination; at other times it appears as a challenge, a spur that incites us to action, to go forth and encounter others and the outside world. It is true that the feeling of separation is universal and not peculiar to Spanish Americans. It is born at the very moment of our birth: as we are wrenched from the Whole we fall into an alien land. This experience becomes a wound that never heals. It is the unfathomable depth of every man; all our ventures and exploits, all our acts and dreams, are bridges designed to overcome the separation and reunite us with the world and our fellow-beings. Each man's life and the collective history of mankind can thus be seen as attempts to reconstruct the original situation. An unfinished and endless cure for our divided condition. . . . It may se

Nativists who claim Jews are out to conquer the world face two difficult questions: the question of theo-political motivation and the question of logistical capability. Theologically, Judaism tends toward nationalism, not imperialism; isolationism, not expansionism. If communism was to be seen as a front for Jewish world domination, the fact that Judeo-communists repudiated Judaism had to be explained away: thus the origin of the modern conspiracy theory. Anti-Semites had to forge the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to provide an imperialist theology for their enemy, because it could not be found in the enemy's own writings. As Raymond Ibrahim writes in Conflating History with Theology : Yahweh clearly ordered the Hebrews to annihilate the Canaanites and surrounding peoples. Such violence is therefore an expression of God's will, for good or ill. Regardless, all the historic violence committed by the Hebrews and recorded in the Old Testament is just that—history. It happened; G

White nationalists, you harp on about everything but your own backyard. Race in the narrow sense is useless. Jews know this. Put in the work and you can "join" the Jewish race. Circumcision is your marker. Blood is thick but spirit is thicker. And eventually the two commingle. People used to join the white race all the time: Irish, Italians and Jews in America. They still do. But whites have also started to join the black race. If you white nationalists really cared about your race's future, you'd work to rejuvenate a culture attractive enough to stop bleeding members. Stormfront shit won't do it unless you're content attracting cro-magnon men and Columbine types. Dress and act like classic white gentlemen and maybe your youth will quit dressing and acting like black hustlers. From a "racial realist" perspective, the smart way to deal with miscegenation is to accept mulattoes as white if they want to be. The smart way to deal with mass immigration i

Antonio Vieira, a Jesuit missionary, one of the greatest writers of Portugal . . . believed that the Jews should be recalled to his country (which between 1580 and 1640 lost its dynasty and freedom and became a Spanish kingdom) because they could re-create the wealth and greatness of his much-suffered and beloved land. He also believed that the Jews could be converted and that the Ten Tribes could be found in America. Vieira persuased King John IV in 1649 to found a Jewish company, exempt from the Inquisition and provided with a fleet which would ultimately recover Brazil. In a truly Messianic work he prophesied that the new pro-Jewish kingdom of Portugal would be the Biblical fifth universal monarchy and rival the power of the ancient Babylonian kings. - Paul Tabori, The Anatomy of Exile Is it too late to make this happen?
