In the modern world, being a victim gives you status points. So “owning” the Holocaust is like a jackpot – the Germans gave the Jews lemons in 1941-45, and then the Jews made lemonade.

Unfortunately, not all Jews are partial to sharing the lemonade stand:

Pro tip: This is the part you’re meant to say quietly.

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to deny any genocide and come out of it looking sympathetic. Claiming a monopoly on the Holocaust erases the lived (and prematurely ended) experiences of millions of East Europeans. Just look at the ratio on Noga Tarnopolsky’s Tweet. This is the power of the politics of memory.

Putin went further in his rhetorical masterstroke in Israel, equating anti-Semitism with Russophobia:

Here, as in Russia, people understand the lessons of World War II, and do not allow the world to forget the consequences of national egoism, strife, and support for any form of chauvinism, anti-Semitism, and Russophobia.

In the modern West, especially the US, mere accusations of anti-Semitism are enough to ground the most promising careers, while Russophobia is not just tolerated but officially sanctioned.

If it is true that those who would deny genocides are laying the grounds for new genocides, then it is incumbent upon Russians to make Russophobia just as socially toxic as anti-Semitism.

***

PS. This is not the first time that some Jewish journalists have had a bad reaction to what they see as Putin’s attempts to “appropriate” the Holocaust.

Translation:

Putin visited a Jewish museum on the anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation and said: “Of course, the main burden was borne in the fight against fascism by the Russian people, 70% of the Red Army’s soldiers and officers – were Russians. And Russians constituted most of the victims on the altar of Victory.”

And they say that Putin isn’t an anti-Semite.

So far as Julia Ioffe is concerned, talking about non-Jewish, and in particular Russian, contributions to the Allied victory is anti-Semitic.

    For 20 years now Putin has been the most philosemitic politician of Europe (although Putin is not so philo-Israeli compared to American politicians). I don't think any other European politician is like that.

    At the same time, on this website, for two years, I've already read many people are writing about Putin's "fight with Jews".

    It's understandable people can be a bit confused when they read about foreign politicians - but there is something lacking in the observation of the real world when the claim become the opposite of ordinary reality.

    Also Putin is not like Republican politicians in America, who love Israel - some of them because they are interested in the real country itself -, while do care about Jews. Putin view is pro-Jews, while he is only moderately warm to Israel often against his interest, and this warm attitude more like part of his attitude to Jews, rather than any interest in Israel the real country.


    -

    Putin's latest kindness today was that after meeting the mother in Israel, he obviously going to intervene in the legal system, to overturn the sentence of an Israeli girl who was carrying cannabis in the briefcase in the airport in Russia.

    Cannabis is harmless, so rationally this girl should never have been punished, let alone in jail - at the same time, it is bit "banana republic president" to overturn even incompetent judges after a meeting the mother of a prisoner in a foreign country.

    No-- just the "Elite" powerful ones who have instituted the Kalergi Plan (and other "plans") to destroy Western Civilization and Christianity and who think "Goyim"/non-Jewish (especially Christian) lives are worthless compared to "the Chosen"? There is zero doubt that her statement is fully in line with the ADL and "Elite" Jewish "thought" and propaganda-- you deny this?

    Please--Your comment is just such total bs, at the very least most coming here have clued in to what is up from what I have seen of the comments and articles here...-- yes there are many "good" Jews (I've worked with some) who are like most trying to do the right thing, make an honest living etc. -- but to deny the other side which comes thru this Jewish "agent" and the "Elite" who back her -- this agenda of denigrating non-Jewish lives? The US Government as basically an "Occupied Government" taking orders from the ADL types? Billions flowing out to Israel and endless wars on their behalf? You don't know about that?

    How about Ron Unz' article here -- on his well reasoned/educated view finally-- after weighing the clear evidence for years of who actually did 911? "Who benefited?" You know those "folks"? The ones who run the NYSlimes, the Mainslime Media, the Satanic "Entertainment" Industry (https://vigilantcitizen.com/ ) who are behind all things Masonic (using useful idiots for that massive anti-Christian Luciferian agenda)--who "Thru Deception Wage War"-- you don't know about any of that? You don't get out much?

    A very learned friend of mine calls the dichotomy "Big Jews and Small Jews" -- the "Big Jews" are running this agenda and the "small Jews" are those getting assaulted and killed by the Black thugs in NYC who are being told by the others to shut up about it because "White Supremacy" and their "common enemy"--there has been at least one article here on this and I have seen a brave Jew speak up about it otherwise https://www.takimag.com/article/suicide-final-solution/ --the pathology at issue of so much hatred against "Whites"(Christianity/Western Civilization) that they are good with "sacrificing" some "small" Jews on this Altar so as to destroy "whitey"/Christianity/Western Civilization-- which they have done a fine job at if you look around (with more to come obviously)-- Soros? Mass immigration as "the Great Replacement"? Behind it all who always pops up? Coincidence? Who is managing this and funding it? https://sovereignwales.com/2016/09/20/the-genocidal-kalergi-plan-to-destroy-the-indigenous-nations-and-peoples-of-europe/

    Try being honest maybe? The Globohomo agenda and the NWO--Rothschild "specials" for us all aiming at our destruction -- with their current "front man" Soros but lots of others? To point out reality is not antisemetic-- to not do so is insanity at this point! --Here you go, how about this?: "former Israeli Education Minister Shulamit Aloni confessed to Amy Goodman about this name-calling Hasbara tactic: “Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country [the US] people are criticizing Israel, then they are antisemitic.” -- seems we have the truth right here? You should try some-- "Truth -- It's The Real Thing!"

  14. Russophobia is 100% a Jewish project, motivated out of hatred of Christ, Christians, and white people.

    I’ve read a lot of success books. Old and new. In none of them have I read about the importance of toeing the kosher line. You’d think in Charles Murray’s book The Curmudgeon’s Guide to Getting Ahead: Dos and Don’ts of Right Behavior… he’d devote even a few lines to the importance of not pissing off the Jews (La Kosher Nostra), on how Jews are devoid of any sense of proportionality, and how anti-Semitism used to mean someone who didn’t like Jews but now means anyone whom the Jews don’t like (to borrow from the late Joe Sobran).

    Chas. Murray has done very well for himself toeing the kosher line and pushing Jewish fables. Yet he doesn’t mention anything about toeing the kosher line. So I guess the first rule of toeing the kosher line is to not talk about toeing the kosher line.

    Btw, for any budding shabbos goy here’s a good reading list to bone up on Jewish fables and the acceptable narrative:

  15. This was the default stance about jew deaths in ww2 up until the 70s-they were one group among many that suffered. A lot of jews were unhappy to have the holocaust invented because they thought it made jews seem effeminate and it gave the default condition of jews as one of suffering.
    But the $ and political power were too hard to resist and, besides, the big talmudic jews understand they must always fan the flames of jewish paranoia lest jews become normal people and disappear.

    I think this is one of those "citations needed" claims.

    Putin's not the raving anti-Semite the more ethnocentric Jews/neocons portray him as, but he doesn't go out of his way to do them favors either.

    Foreign policy is not exactly much in sync with Jewish interests (rescued Assad; neutrality in Palestine debate; recent military exercises with China and Iran). British Conservative politicians/mainstream are easily far more pro-Jewish than Putin, so is Orban, so was Salvini, etc.

    I thought you were all thumbs down on taking pride in the Great Patriotic War victory. You didn’t switch because the criticism is coming from (them), did you? That would be bad, don’t go there AK.

  18. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to deny any genocide and come out of it looking sympathetic.

    The Holocaust is bullshit, and was invented in the USSR. It has been shown to have been physically incapable to have happened. The “deniers” don’t deny Jews and others were treated badly, they deny there was a planned genocide of Jews or anyone else, by Germans. There were more Jews claiming reparations from Germany, post war, than there were Jews under German control, during the war. That in itself demonstrates that there was no genocide. The Holocaust was the scam used to create Rothschild’s Israel and world government.
    Yes, the Soviet Union was instrumental in defeating “fascism”, but to what end? The Soviet Union was a much worse fate for those who felt the wrath of Stalin and his gangsters.
    Let’s cut the bullshit. NS Germany were no choirboys, but they were pushed into war by their economic rivals France and Britain. Joe Stalin didn’t have the largest army ever assembled, at Germany’s border, then cut through it’s defensive lines, because he was “defending”. Half a million volunteers outside Germany, from across Europe and the Middle East didn’t volunteer to fight on the Eastern Front because they were rabid fascists. They were fighting to prevent a communist invasion of Europe. As Leon DeGrelle said, had it not been for Germany, Stalin would have been standing in Calais looking toward Britain and planning his invasion.

    Just as Germany attacked the USSR to prevent the largest army ever assembled, from invading Germany and Europe.

    I have, since the start of the Zundel trials in 1985, read more "alternative" history about WWII, than most. My interest was piqued, not because of his alleged denial, rather my outrage that someone would be prosecuted for expressing an opinion that contained no suggestion of violence.
    My father and four uncles served in WWII. My father used to talk about "old Ben Freedman", which meant nothing to me, until after both my parents had died and discovered a few short books on several topics, long out of print, that you weren't going to find in libraries. I grew up with kids who had fathers serving in all of the forces, including ones who had been involved in bombing German cities, and a couple who had been Japanese POWs. Other than a couple of drunks, most would never talk about their experiences, but it was safe to say that when it came to the anti-German narrative, most didn't buy into it, as the German immigrants that came in the 50s and 60s were usually welcomed into the neighbourhood and helped to adjust.
    There is plenty of information out there about the political machinations involved in herding Germany into WWII, Hitler's peace proposals, and reality of NS Germany as opposed to the narrative. I concluded long ago that all wars are economic wars. Figure out the economic threat to (((globalists))) and their useful idiots, irrespective of alleged political affiliation, and you have sorted the reason for the war, whether or not there is actual shooting. I'm not suggesting that NS Germany was an ideal any more than Mussolini's Italy, Franco's Spain, or Salazar's Portugal were, or for that matter, Stalin's USSR. There are benefits and drawbacks in every political ideology put into practice, including finance capitalism. The questions are always the same: who, what, why and how, along with do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks short and long term?
    An off topic equivalent is someone like Trump. There is a lot not to like about him, but there are positives. The positives and the negatives should be weighed against each other and stand on their own merits, not buried in bullshit narratives.
  25. This is a cuck lite tactic that will not work. Jews want to destroy Russia that should be very clear to everyone here, no amount of “we saved jews” narratives is going to change that fact.

    Calling it "rhetorical cover" suggests the whole point of it is to get a rise out of Jews. In fact, those statements are perfectly reasonable in their own right. Jews are just hypersensitive to anything that might even potentially threaten their interests.

    Your list of ten supposed jews who reject the Holocaust Lie includes Gerard Menuhin, a goy son of famous jewish violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Jewish lineage is matrilineal and Gerard was the son of Yehudi's non-jewish second wife, the famed British ballet dancer Diana Gould.

    Norman Finkelstein did indeed write the book The Holocaust Industry but he's criticizing mostly the money-grubbing to capitalize on the story to gain both dollars and also to have the claims of moral supremacy that justify Israeli's flagrant violation of international laws. He doesn't say the Holocaust itself didn't happen.

    And David Cole/Stein has recanted his claim to fame of the 90s challenging the Auschwitz fable after going into hiding for many years fearing assassination by the JDL only to reemerge saying that he'd been mistaken and that while it may not have been 6 million, it was a large number killed both intentional and systematic.

    The term "Holocaust Denier" is a hugely successful psyops tool the jews adapted from the CIA's greatly beneficial use of "conspiracy theorist" to denigrate anyone who had an interest in what really happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

    The New Chronology Theory is just another stupid and baseless conspiracy theory. The eminent Mr. Peabody thoroughly debunked the idea that human history began somehow during the medieval period, by traveling back in time using his ingeniously crafted WABAC time machine. In this short documentary (left for posterity's sake), Mr, Peabody and his pet boy Sherman travel back to China in 214 B.C. to witness the building of the Great Wall of China. Not to be missed:

    The New Chronology and proponents of similar theories, most of whom are Russian, seem to rather conveniently always put Russia at the centre of the "real history".

    Their take on British history is not very positive, they usually argue that British history is just a copy of ancient Russian history and that Britain doesn't really have any ancient history, it's all Russian history or something like that. The New Choronology and similar is certainly an interesting insight into the Russian mentality.

    How can an informed person say this with a straight face?

    Trump is groveling. His actions speak louder than his words, or lack thereof. Everything that he could possibly do to Israel, other than going to war with the latter's foes, he has done.

    Putin neither supported the thrashing of the Iran deal nor endorsed Israeli territorial grab. Trump has been so submissive to Israeli interests that for many of his history-savvy supporters (or former supporters), "MIGA" is a more appropriate election slogan.

To point out reality is not antisemetic– to not do so is insanity at this point! –Here you go, how about this?: “former Israeli Education Minister Shulamit Aloni confessed to Amy Goodman about this name-calling Hasbara tactic: “Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country [the US] people are criticizing Israel, then they are antisemitic.” — seems we have the truth right here? You should try some– “Truth — It’s The Real Thing!”

    For 20 years now Putin has been the most philosemitic politician of Europe (although Putin is not so philo-Israeli compared to American politicians). I don't think any other European politician is like that.

    At the same time, on this website, for two years, I've already read many people are writing about Putin's "fight with Jews".

    It's understandable people can be a bit confused when they read about foreign politicians - but there is something lacking in the observation of the real world when the claim become the opposite of ordinary reality.

    Also Putin is not like Republican politicians in America, who love Israel - some of them because they are interested in the real country itself -, while do care about Jews. Putin view is pro-Jews, while he is only moderately warm to Israel often against his interest, and this warm attitude more like part of his attitude to Jews, rather than any interest in Israel the real country.


    -

    Putin's latest kindness today was that after meeting the mother in Israel, he obviously going to intervene in the legal system, to overturn the sentence of an Israeli girl who was carrying cannabis in the briefcase in the airport in Russia.

    Cannabis is harmless, so rationally this girl should never have been punished, let alone in jail - at the same time, it is bit "banana republic president" to overturn even incompetent judges after a meeting the mother of a prisoner in a foreign country.

    You can research yourself about Putin - you should be able to synthesize information:

    1. Criminalization of antisemitism - I haven't counted exactly, but my impression of skimming list of extremist material, is the mode component of the criminalized material relates to antisemitism. (the result of almost reversed attitude or "leniency" to this material, which had been all in the 1990s). Before Putin, antisemitic material was quite common and easily distributed.

    2. Judaism is promoted positively on television, as if it is 5-10%, rather than its reality of 0,1% of the population. You have a class on Judaism as part of the school curriculum. But since 2012, they created an official school "fundamentals of Jewish culture" course that schools (probably Jewish schools) can choose to teach to fulfill the component.

    3. Jewish schools, community centres, cultural events - established with government support. All kinds of "Hannukah in the Kremlin". (Again it like a reversal of a pre-Putin situation and attitude to Jews). Schools with Israeli directed syllabus opened in Russia since 2009.

    Of course, this is just symbolic, and not important because of a collapse of Jewish demographics - but the intention and attitude has a reversal after Putin.

    4. Putin's childhood milieu, and friends promoted, and who became wealthy, include disproportionate numbers Jews. This is more like explanation of his attitude.

    5. Putin had married a woman with Jewish roots; one of his daughter marries probably some kind of Mountain Jew.

    6. Putin has open and regular expression of his feelings of Jews.

    7. Putin has some kind of warm attitude to Israel, probably explained as sentimental symptom of above. There are regular concessions for Israel, while not for other Western countries. Israel is married to America, so this is a pointless area.

    In Lenin In Zurich Solzhenitsyn goes out of his way to emphasize Lenin's un-Russianness, depicting him as pretty much a Germanophile and admirer of efficiency and order and not of alleged Russian sloth. He also tends to play up the non-Russian elements of his environment - he has Parvus writing to Lenin a letter that alternates Russian and German sentences. It was only later that it struck me this was absurd - if Parvus communicated with Lenin it would be in one language or the other but not both - but as a way of presenting Parvus and others as "not really Russian" it is rather clever.
    In his comments on the radical historical characters at the end of the book, Solzhenitsyn is a little more favourable to the ethnic Russians than to the ones with Jewish or other backgrounds. For example, Shlyapnikov and Potresov come off better than the others in his assessments.
    Solzhenitsyn at times teeters on the brink of saying the Bolsheviks and the left in Russia were basically Jews, but perhaps mindful of Western patronage, he never quite gets there. But he does play up un-Russian elements.

    I am aware of most of that. I would still submit that the UK has most of that, and more in other departments. And there are nuances, e.g. yes, anti-Semitism partially criminalized under general hate speech laws (although they were recently decriminalized - HAIL PUTLER), but in practice most prosecutions were for insulting Caucasians. COG > ZOG in Russia. Sure, Jews prevalent amongst oligarchs - but that was the case from the start. Putin doesn't want to make enemies of the Jews (all Jews at any rate) and makes nice with the Chabad faction. Sure, Putin makes concessions for Israel, but Israel makes concessions for Russia too. Didn't impose sanctions on Russia like most of the West over Crimea, often takes neutral stance in the UN on our various disputes (US & Co. vote against us), has visa free regime with Russia, etc. So that's more reciprocity than concessions. Finally, many Russians have some Jewish ancestry (even I do) especially in SPB/Moscow... and Putin's daughter divorced Shalimov. The other one didn't marry a Jew. Reading too much into this IMO.

    Your list of ten supposed jews who reject the Holocaust Lie includes Gerard Menuhin, a goy son of famous jewish violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Jewish lineage is matrilineal and Gerard was the son of Yehudi’s non-jewish second wife, the famed British ballet dancer Diana Gould.

    Norman Finkelstein did indeed write the book The Holocaust Industry but he’s criticizing mostly the money-grubbing to capitalize on the story to gain both dollars and also to have the claims of moral supremacy that justify Israeli’s flagrant violation of international laws. He doesn’t say the Holocaust itself didn’t happen.

    And David Cole/Stein has recanted his claim to fame of the 90s challenging the Auschwitz fable after going into hiding for many years fearing assassination by the JDL only to reemerge saying that he’d been mistaken and that while it may not have been 6 million, it was a large number killed both intentional and systematic.

    The term “Holocaust Denier” is a hugely successful psyops tool the jews adapted from the CIA’s greatly beneficial use of “conspiracy theorist” to denigrate anyone who had an interest in what really happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

    For 20 years now Putin has been the most philosemitic politician of Europe (although Putin is not so philo-Israeli compared to American politicians). I don't think any other European politician is like that.

    At the same time, on this website, for two years, I've already read many people are writing about Putin's "fight with Jews".

    It's understandable people can be a bit confused when they read about foreign politicians - but there is something lacking in the observation of the real world when the claim become the opposite of ordinary reality.

    Also Putin is not like Republican politicians in America, who love Israel - some of them because they are interested in the real country itself -, while do care about Jews. Putin view is pro-Jews, while he is only moderately warm to Israel often against his interest, and this warm attitude more like part of his attitude to Jews, rather than any interest in Israel the real country.


    -

    Putin's latest kindness today was that after meeting the mother in Israel, he obviously going to intervene in the legal system, to overturn the sentence of an Israeli girl who was carrying cannabis in the briefcase in the airport in Russia.

    Cannabis is harmless, so rationally this girl should never have been punished, let alone in jail - at the same time, it is bit "banana republic president" to overturn even incompetent judges after a meeting the mother of a prisoner in a foreign country.

    You can research yourself about Putin - you should be able to synthesize information:

    1. Criminalization of antisemitism - I haven't counted exactly, but my impression of skimming list of extremist material, is the mode component of the criminalized material relates to antisemitism. (the result of almost reversed attitude or "leniency" to this material, which had been all in the 1990s). Before Putin, antisemitic material was quite common and easily distributed.

    2. Judaism is promoted positively on television, as if it is 5-10%, rather than its reality of 0,1% of the population. You have a class on Judaism as part of the school curriculum. But since 2012, they created an official school "fundamentals of Jewish culture" course that schools (probably Jewish schools) can choose to teach to fulfill the component.

    3. Jewish schools, community centres, cultural events - established with government support. All kinds of "Hannukah in the Kremlin". (Again it like a reversal of a pre-Putin situation and attitude to Jews). Schools with Israeli directed syllabus opened in Russia since 2009.

    Of course, this is just symbolic, and not important because of a collapse of Jewish demographics - but the intention and attitude has a reversal after Putin.

    4. Putin's childhood milieu, and friends promoted, and who became wealthy, include disproportionate numbers Jews. This is more like explanation of his attitude.

    5. Putin had married a woman with Jewish roots; one of his daughter marries probably some kind of Mountain Jew.

    6. Putin has open and regular expression of his feelings of Jews.

    7. Putin has some kind of warm attitude to Israel, probably explained as sentimental symptom of above. There are regular concessions for Israel, while not for other Western countries. Israel is married to America, so this is a pointless area.

    I don't think Trump is joking - Putin thinks he will be helping Israel.
    https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1019029758938701827

    icy is not exactly much in sync with Jewish interests (rescued Assad; neutrality in Palestine debate

    Until 1999, the foreign policy was pro-Palestine. Putin has shifted to this "neutral", and adds a lot of concessions to Israel.

    Another thing which I've seen in my lifetime. Television became pro-Israel, so it is now more sympathetic to Israel than television you can see in Western European countries. (For example, television in the UK has the much more negative attitude about Israel).

    British Conservative politicians/mainstream are easily far more pro-Jewish than Putin, so is Orban, so was Salvini, etc.

    I can't see how being "more pro-Jewish", of British or Salvini. Putin has hit all "pro-Jewish" targets that are within the scope of his job. So he has pushed as far as he can in that area,

    He can't save the Jewish birthrate (Jews are probably the lowest fertility rate nationality in Russia), or attract any Jewish people to repatriate. But neither will Salvini magically recreate a dying Jewish community in Italy.

    Historical context is the opposite.

    In the UK, I doubt there is a socially popular, politically popular, atmosphere of antisemitism until around 2000, that is suppressed after a change of a particular president/prime minister. A single man does not change or reverse a previous situation in the UK. And neither in the UK, is there a reversed policy to state or financial support for reviving a Jewish community, after many decades in the opposite direction.

    Influence of Putin cannot be underestimated in this area.

    Russia was a comparatively (compared to the West) less pleasant social atmosphere for Jews until Putin. Putin is the person who is most responsible for changing it to an opposite situation (although it could probably reverse after he leaves).

    Also Russia had a bad relationship with Israel before Putin. Putin reversed it to a good relationship.

    Notice the reversed attitude of Knesset/Jerusalem to the Kremlin, has also happened. It's not just Netanyahu that loves Putin. Also Shimon Peres loved Putin, Ariel Sharon loved Putin. Ehud Barak (leftwing Prime Minister of Israel), loves Putin which seems like RT is embarrassed because their policy is to reduce support for Israel in English speaking countries.

    My father and four uncles served in WWII. My father used to talk about “old Ben Freedman”, which meant nothing to me, until after both my parents had died and discovered a few short books on several topics, long out of print, that you weren’t going to find in libraries. I grew up with kids who had fathers serving in all of the forces, including ones who had been involved in bombing German cities, and a couple who had been Japanese POWs. Other than a couple of drunks, most would never talk about their experiences, but it was safe to say that when it came to the anti-German narrative, most didn’t buy into it, as the German immigrants that came in the 50s and 60s were usually welcomed into the neighbourhood and helped to adjust.
    There is plenty of information out there about the political machinations involved in herding Germany into WWII, Hitler’s peace proposals, and reality of NS Germany as opposed to the narrative. I concluded long ago that all wars are economic wars. Figure out the economic threat to (((globalists))) and their useful idiots, irrespective of alleged political affiliation, and you have sorted the reason for the war, whether or not there is actual shooting. I’m not suggesting that NS Germany was an ideal any more than Mussolini’s Italy, Franco’s Spain, or Salazar’s Portugal were, or for that matter, Stalin’s USSR. There are benefits and drawbacks in every political ideology put into practice, including finance capitalism. The questions are always the same: who, what, why and how, along with do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks short and long term?
    An off topic equivalent is someone like Trump. There is a lot not to like about him, but there are positives. The positives and the negatives should be weighed against each other and stand on their own merits, not buried in bullshit narratives.
