Dissension on the Right, Part II

Watching Carlson's interview with Fuentes, I thought that Fuentes came across as relatively controlled in his demeanor.  Not so, in separate videos I watched.  In a video shared with "Iron Dissent," we are told by the narrator (I've heard this before) that today's Jews are not the Jews of the Bible.  No?  We have the same Hebrew language.  We have the same Torah.  We have the same tefillin.  We have Shabbat.  We have the laws of Kosher.  True, we no longer have the Temple in Jerusalem, and therefore some of the ancient commandments cannot be done.  But none of that can explain the hatred directed at the Jews.  

Fuentes allegedly called conservative Jews such as Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Josh Hammer and Laura Loomer "despicable pieces of shit."  I say allegedly because some places say yes, others say no evidence.  He also is to have said that none of them will ever be American, and they should "get the fuck out of America and go back to Israel."  Notwithstanding they are not from Israel.  

I did see a clip showing Fuentes declaring that Jews are unlikeable people.  Fuentes:  "We don't care about your bitching, your whining, your squealing about antisemitism.  Nobody's listening anymore.  Nobody cares."  And this:  "You don't care about this country.  You don't respect this place.  You don't respect our ancestors.  You don't even worship our G-d."

Let's see.  Just in my family, my brother served this country in Vietnam, and was a Purple Heart recipient.  My uncle served in WWII, and was a POW.  My wifes's Dad served in WWII.  And a dear friend's Dad (also Jewish) was a Lt. Col. in the AF Reserves.  Countless Jews have served this country.  Jews don't respect this place?  Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro have frequently spoken of the greatness of America.  This blog has done the same.  Jews don't respect the country's ancestors?  Is this for real?

Levin knows far more than Fuentes does about the Founders, the Constitution and the Federalist papers.  Here was our second President, John Adams:  "The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation."  Here was George Washington, in a letter to the Jews of the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, the oldest synagogue in America:  "...the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support."  And this:  "May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants..."  Jewish people settled in Newport as early as 1658.  

Our Founders would not have thought very much of people telling the Jews to "get the fuck out."  Fuentes said:  "You don't even worship our G-d."  Who does not know anything about our Founders?  I would suggest Fuentes read the First Amendment to the Constitution:  "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."  I would also remind Fuentes that it was the Jewish people who brought to the world the belief that there is but one G-d - a belief in monotheism - and not all the false idols worshipped by many ancient peoples.

Then I heard Fuentes assert that "the Jews pushed us to this point."  Right.  Sort of like "I didn't want to beat my wife to a pulp - she made me do it."  Yes, the Jews pushed him, how?  "For opposing genocide?  (This is a lie.)  For not putting America first?  (Another lie.)  Because they are preoccupied with Israel? (You bet we are since the 10/7/23 terrorist attacks and subsequent two year war)."   

I don't see Fuentes as being any different from the Jew haters of the 1930's and 1940's.  We had the America First Committee back then.  Charles Lindbergh.  Father Edward Coughlin.  The various isolationists.  Even the German American Bund.  But the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor kind of burst the bubble of the isolationists.  

So here are a couple of questions for Fuentes and Carlson and their ilk.  Clearly, you do not agree with the Democrats on anything.  Yet, you are saying the Jews should get out of America.  Why not the Democrats?  Clearly, there are shared Judeo-Christian values.  Yet, you are saying the Jews should get out of America.  Why not the Muslims?  They do not share the Judeo-Christian values.  I think the answer to these questions is rather straightforward - you are simply old-fashioned antisemitic Jew-haters.  Nothing new there.
