Thoughts on Poddy

Steve Sailer here brings up an important point.

Part of the reason that neoconservatives, particularly those who are Jewish and/or particularly suportive of Israel, are disliked is because so many of them seem to have no problem with the US having ethnically suicidal policies and Israel not having them.

John Podhoretz and Tamar Jacoby both seem to think that because their forbears immigrated to the US in the early 20th century, that it is necessary for us to allow Mexicans and others to immigrate in the same ways. There is also a sense in some of the writing that the concern is to reduce the relative population of Gentile whites in the country in order to prevent there from being a dominant culture, other than that of tolerance and diversity, because of a fear that, not being the dominant community, any dominant community will persecute them.

As Jewish people are the dominant community in Israel, there is no such concern, so they have no problem with Israel having more restrictive immigration laws. All of which, of course, breeds resentment, of course, among American whites who feel that their culture is being degraded in a dishonest ploy.

Which is not to say that this is a strategy or a tendency among all Jews. Don Feder and Paul Gottfried are both very concerned with maintaining the cultures of Europe and America as well as Israel; and there are plenty of Jews who have decided that Israel needs to lose its identity and become multi-culti as well.

But to the extent that neoconservatism is associated with Jewish people, the dislike of it is more due to a sense of double standards and to a lack of conccern for American culture and interests than it is to any resentment of Jews per se.

That is all.
