He is a particular brand of Jew, which I call a “Judenrat”, after the “Jewish committees” set up by the Nazis in occupied Eastern Europe, as intermediaries between the Jewish populations targeted for extermination and the Nazi authorities.

I like the way the word rolls off the tongue like “Jew rat”, and the historical reference.

Those who served on the Judenrats had many reasons for doing so. They may have thought they were really helping out their fellow Jews. Or, they may have only been interested in “cutting a deal” for themselves and their own families. Whatever the reason, it amounted to the same thing: Selling out one’s fellow Jews within the context of a tacit admission of impotence in the face of our enemies.

The example of modern Israel is supposed to “cure” Jews of this disgraceful mindset, and for many, it does. But for some, you can take the Jew out of the shtetl, but you can’t take the shtetl out of the Jew. For some Jews, the whole concept of Jewish identity is antithetical to participation in a national project such as Israel. These Jews believe that the role of the Jew should be limited to that of a permanent minority, a perennial “martyr” class, that plays a specialized role of “social conscience”, and with that, maintains an unassailable status of moral superiority that comes with the position of being a martyr.

Rolling up one’ sleeves and defending a nation state involves getting one’s hands dirty in ways that such Jews abhor. It means, among other things, – literally or figuratively – donning a uniform and shouldering a rifle. Oh my! That is for the “goyim”; Jews should be “above” such crass pursuits!

Such is the kind of Jew George Soros represents. That is also the kind of Jew who populates J-Street. They are made for each other. They are minority within a minority, but just like “Uncle Tom” blacks who are fabled for kissing whitey tuchas for reasons of self-preservation rooted in assumptions of powerlessness, they are a very useful minority to our enemies, hence their influence that goes well beyond their numbers.

This is the worst enemy we fight, the enemy within. I wish we could literally tar and feather such people.
