Shouldn’t Jews Know Better?

I can understand how a genuine pacifist could so strongly deplore the inherent tragedy of war that the reasons for its prosecution are deemed unworthy and a generic sympathy for civilians caught in the middle is natural for all. What is harder to understand is how people purportedly motivated by such sentiments readily dismiss culpability for the horrific, inhumane acts of Oct 7 in which brutal civilian casualties were not incidental to a military objective but entirely intentional.

The woke moral framework is a strange beast.

Under the new order now oozing out of the moral open sewers that persist in calling themselves universities, only white people have agency and moral responsibility. And the new order is even retroactive. Columbus and Cortez, as white males, had to know that colonialism was wrong. In contrast, Montezuma, as ruler of an about-to-be oppressed people was not culpable for oppressing surrounding tribes and using them as slaves or human sacrifice. Similarly, Jews (officially white oppressors) should know better than to resist, much less cause any injury to victim people. Hamas (officially a non-white victim class) has no such moral awareness or responsibility

Islam promises an afterlife of sensual pleasures (at least for guys). Wokeslam promises that membership in a gnostic elite grants its members temporal freedom from the moral and social constraints of their heritage. The truly woke no longer have to listen to parental admonishments about deviant sexual practices, useless college majors or repugnant ideology because those parents are hopelessly tainted by the historic crimes of whiteness. Ozzie and Harriet might as well have owned slaves and personally shot a Cherokee child. They have no moral standing to impose all that traditional morals and family nonsense that is simply a deceptive form of cognitive bondage.

We need to grasp that under the new doctrine, human beings exist on two planes. There is the higher plane in which enlightened white people fight the evil white people who want to drag all white people down into the lower plane where their very presence disrupts native cultures, nature, and even the climate. The lower plane is the natural realm of victimized peoples. Their oppression is largely internalized and even in the unlikely event of its complete discontinuance, they can never get to the higher plane because as innocents they have no crimes to disavow.

Victimhood means perpetual dependence on the largesse of enlightened white people, like being a guilt-free Blanche Dubois ever dependent on the kindness of strangers. Kendi X’s vision of a supreme Panel of Experts to divvy up all wealth and resources without any checks and balances is almost a perfect projection of the new order—victims enjoying a perpetual stream of reparations and the illusion of power but with no actual ownership of the skills or specialized knowledge required to produce anything. [Presumably, there would need to be a national backroom with a disproportionate number of Asian and Jewish guys doing the actual calculations, planning, and production management because public schooling for black and other victim-class kids would continue to devolve into achievement-free victimhood training.]

In the perfect political incarnation of the new order, the still-systemically-oppressed-but-not-as-much-as-before victims would honor the good white people with their votes, gratitude, and admiration. The victim peoples would have lots of festivals, music, dances, and crafts within their plane that the enlightened white people (who have transcended their own culture) could benevolently visit and enjoy on weekends though without any appropriation.

That hierarchical arrangement is not slavery but a benevolent dependence in which positions and possessions are a gift from the higher plane. Substitute that arrangement for “slave” and John C. Calhoun would sound pretty woke:

But I take higher ground. I hold that in the present state of civilization, where two races of different origin, and distinguished by color, and other physical differences, as well as intellectual, are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding States between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good - a positive good. - John C. Calhoun, speaking in the Senate in 1837

People in an actual national territory with actual national interests and actual citizen obligations with actual dangers from actual enemies is a dystopian nightmare for the truly woke. Wokedom can really only exist with physical safety, tenure, and a guaranteed income to support the illusion of moral transcendence. Being hauled down into being merely on one side when one’s country is threatened is more terrifying than whatever the nation's enemy might do. White people should never have to be on that lower plane where they have to struggle to exist as the lesser peoples do. It is tacky and uncool. That whole Israeli survival thing is offputting and just needs to stop. Why don't they get it?
