Anti-Semites, The Nation of Priests

Anti-Semites cite the following passage from Genealogy of Morals to enlist Nietzsche into their cause:

All the world’s efforts against the “aristocrats,” the “mighty,” the “masters,” the “holders of power” are negligible by comparison with what has been accomplished against those classes by the Jews—the Jews, that priestly nation which eventually realized that the one method of effecting satisfaction on its enemies and tyrants was by means of a radical transvaluation of values, which was at the same time an act of the cleverest revenge. Yet the method was only appropriate to a nation of priests, to a nation of the most jealously nursed priestly revengefulness. It was the Jews who, in opposition to the aristocratic equation (good = aristocratic = beautiful = happy = loved by the gods), dared with terrifying logic to suggest the contrary equation, and indeed to maintain with the teeth of the most profound hatred (the hatred of weakness) this contrary equation, namely, “the wretched are alone the good; the poor, the weak, the lowly, are alone the good; the suffering, the needy, the sick, the loathsome, are the only ones who are pious, the only ones who are blessed, for them alone is salvation—but you, on the other hand, you aristocrats, you men of power, you are to all eternity the evil, the horrible, the covetous, the insatiate, the godless; eternally also shall you be the unblessed, the cursed, the damned!” We know who reaped the heritage of this Jewish transvaluation.

Nietzsche of course, wrote before the emergence of the modern Zionist movement, which is the attempt by Jews to transvaluate themselves into Hebrews. Much more so than National Socialism, Zionism can rightfully claim to be the most successful Nietzschean political movement of modern times. Nietzsche's description of "knightly-aristocratic values" are indistinguishable from Zionist pioneer values:

The knightly-aristocratic "values" are based on a careful cult of the physical, on a flowering, rich, and even effervescent healthiness, that goes considerably beyond what is necessary for maintaining life, on war, adventure, the chase, the dance, the tourney - on everything, in fact, which is contained in strong, free, and joyous action.

Contrast with "priestly values":

Yet the priests are, as is notorious, the worst enemies - why? Because they are the weakest. Their weakness causes their hate to expand into a monstrous and sinister shape, a shape which is most crafty and most poisonous. The really great haters in the history of the world have always been priests, who are also the cleverest haters - in comparison with the cleverness of priestly revenge, every other piece of cleverness is practically negligible.

National Socialism, and anti-Semitism more broadly, is of the priestly spirit because it is based on hatred. The "cleverness" of the priestly anti-Semites is to devalue Jewish-aristocratic success by attributing it to conspiracy and exploitation of the underclass.

Nietzsche writes in The Will to Power:

Aryan influence has corrupted all the world - A lot is said today about the Semitic spirit of the New Testament: but what is called Semitic is merely priestly - and in the racially purest Aryan law-book, in Manu, this kind of "Semitism," i.e., the spirit of the priest, is worse than anywhere else.

If only Nietzsche had read Mein Kampf! The failed artist Hitler is the poster-boy of the sickly, resentful priestly type.

Compare Hitler or any other morbidly Jew-obsessive with the italicized part of this passage from Genealogy of Morals:

It likes to make itself heard all the way into the consecrated rooms of science, that hoarse, booming indignation of the pathologically ill hound, the biting insincerity and rage of such "noble" Pharisees (once again I remind readers who have ears of Eugene Duhring, that apostle of revenge from Berlin, who in today's Germany makes the most indecent and most revolting use of moralistic gibberish - Duhring, the pre-eminent moral braggart we have nowadays, even among those like him, the anti-Semites). They are all men of resentment, these physiologically impaired and worm-eaten men, a totally quivering earthly kingdom of subterranean revenge, inexhaustible, insatiable in its outbursts against the fortunate, and equally in its masquerades of revenge, its pretexts for revenge.

Anti-Semites justify their hatred by claiming that Jews are really the hateful ones - but where is the evidence? I see streams of anti-Semitic invective wherever there's a Comments section on a website, but all the anti-Semites can muster for proof that Jews hate Gentiles are obscure Talmudic passages few Jews even know about.

Nietzsche defines priests as the greatest haters in history. The Nazis were by any measure the greatest haters in history.

Again, from The Will to Power:

The anti-Semites do not forgive the Jews for possessing "spirit"—and money. Anti-Semites—another name for the "underprivileged."

What is the "White Racialist" movement but an attempt to portray whites as the new underprivileged class? Unlike Zionism, which actually sought to build, White Racialism worships men like Kevin MacDonald, who provide ready excuses and scapegoats for failure.

And does not the extreme anti-Zionist argument go something like this?

The wretched [Palestinians] are alone the good; the poor, the weak, the lowly, are alone the good; the suffering, the needy, the sick, the loathsome, are the only ones who are pious, the only ones who are blessed, for them alone is salvation — but you [Jews], on the other hand, you aristocrats, you men of power, you are to all eternity the evil, the horrible, the covetous, the insatiate, the godless; eternally also shall you be the unblessed, the cursed, the damned!

Anti-Semites are as free as anyone else to take Nietzsche out of context for their own purposes, but they should bear in mind what the man thought of them when they do so.
