Antisemitism
This is an Israeli-made docu, titled "Defamation". I feel compelled to address the major point presented. The film-maker is examining the contrast between actual antisemitism, which of course exists, and the degree of its danger in the general societies observed, for example Poland or New York – and the industry of antisemite-hunting as projected and promoted by the enormous lobby of the ADL.

Case in point: to take children, youth, on travel excursions specially tailored to visit former Camps as an "obligation" toward "being Jewish" and passing on a pathological pattern older than the Shoah itself – to the point that the kids come away learning (if they're cooperative and trying to conform to what is expected of them) to suspect any non-Jew (whether in Europe or the U.S.) of "being an antisemite" - is an abuse of otherwise normal happy minors with their own futures before them, unencumbered (until now) with a constant self-conscious neurotic fear and doubt and mistrust concerning their own identity: "as Jews."
The Israeli film-maker points this out as well, or lets it present itself to the viewer. I doubt the ADL was pleased with the result, as it continually exercises a highly sacrosanct and instrumentalising pressure on the Polish government, which borders on unmitigated chutzpah in high gear.
This form of "education," reminding me of socialist reeducation measures, has reached monstrous proportions since the film-maker's own grwoing-up years. I still recall an AJC (not ADL, mind you) guest speaker some 20 years back at least, as he addressed this, one evening, at Berlin's major synagogue: he expressed the wish that Jews would for once stop identifying their Jewishness with the Shoah and with antisemitism altogether or generally – and just be confident and joyful being Jewish for its own sake, for the sake of a heritage independent of the persecutions which have accompanied it. If my parents were alcoholics or sadists, I should go to therapy and continue on with my life without looking back, or at least always, at that. And without looking for alcoholic and sadists at every turn. As to that guest speaker, I myself, still being somewhat of the former mentality at that time, which he was addressing, found it gave pause to reflect further, and I indeed saw his point. It was to be still some years before I got past my own hurdles concerning this.
The enforced "feeling" on these youths is akin to the demon "political correctness" of our day, which weakens. It strengthens nothing good in a person's character development. I am demonstratively against this kind of lobby and its effects. It maintains a vicious cycle to the advantage of no friends of the Jews – including Jews themselves. I've lived through this mindset, I gorged myself on it and took myself consciously through it and have digested it, am finished with it.
Exposing children to this in just such a manner as is observed here, shows no consideration whatsoever for the physionomic and psychological/ neurological effect on them, as this latter is definitely not addressed now or later in the "educational program"-ming – i.e., no therapy included. It disturbs the brain's protective membrane, and one stores impressions of trauma in the hypocampus of the victim – whereas these kids who are not victims, are being forcibly made into proxy-"victims" without the benefit of trauma therapy as follow-up. This non-recognized abuse is then given further as “inheritance“ to their own children, and on and on. And that is what passes for “heritage“ from the ADL's standpoint. Maintaining healthy happy children is evidently not in its interest. Main thing: antisemitism.
It's an unhealthy fixation, pushed by the ADL, with objectives and motivations I consider morally suspect, but that is my viewpoint – and was before I came across this docu some time back. I don't notice anyone trianing in Krav Maga, but certainly kvetching and driving the politically-correct agenda, for nauseatingly staged effect. The incredible exaggeration of "insult and injury" is rather akin to the demands Muslims are all now (thoroughly politcially-correct) permitted to level on behalf of "The-Religion-Of-Peace."
Actively searching for "antisemites" under every rock and in every corner will net equally insipid antisemitic reactions, and to what purpose – to feel better, to feel right?
Now if one REALLY wanted to find antisemitism today, i.e., anti-Jewish sentiments as such, one need look no further than the Left, the Greens, and of course "The-Religion-Of-Peace" and its adherents and (worse) all of its apologists.
But the sheer arrogance of jumping all over Poles today (I call it Pole-jumping, but that's my Yiddish humor) or Germans today, is a schande, and disgusting. Teaching the next generation, and the next and the next, this neurotic behavior loaded with a moralistic self-righteousness full of paranoia and clueless accusation, with "Nazis" everywhere – is for me an abomination.
I for one, define my Jewishness on something as old as Abraham, period. No, older yet: on my knowledge of Origin, that being my Creator – and not some “SS-guy“ out to get me. This speaks to neither "the Right" nor "the Left," – as they obviously have their agenda and I have my direction. These latter remain intact so long as this sick and ego-driven occupation with “Nazis“ and a self-fixating victim-superiority, this vacuous and strictly ideological Industry, holds sway.
If I had wanted to adhere to such a mentality I could have stayed in Denver, I could have remained home with Mommy and Daddy.
