THE LEMMING
The lemming looks like a sensible enough animal, but its
habit of drowning itself in the sea has long puzzled scientists. The lemming is a small animal, about the size
of a rat. The lemming is a strange
animal with a very strange custom. The
lemming, every few years, gathers together with a great many other lemmings,
and they all march together – to the sea.
The lemming and all the other lemmings march shoulder to shoulder and
when they reach the sea they do a very strange thing: They jump in and drown. The lemming is a very strange animal and no
one can understand it.
There are various categories of lemmings and last Saturday
night, the Hebrew lemmings gathered in Jerusalem, some several thousand of
them, small creatures, the stature of rodents.
And they marched. Shoulder to
shoulder down the road of madness, inexorably moving to the sea of
destruction. The march of the lemmings, “Suicide Now”.
The Hebrew lemming is a strange animal undoubtedly the most
irrational of all. Psychologists and
sociologists and anthropologists and biologists and students of irrational
behavior from far and wide gathered to study the march of the Hebrew
lemmings. “Peace Now”, was what
they carried as their slogan as they marched to the sea of suicide to
partake of the most permanent of peace. “Leave Lebanon” was etched on
their banners as they marched in preparation of leaving the world. “Stop Jewish settlements in the Occupied
Territories” they proclaimed as they began their uprooting of their
settlement on this earth.
The Hebrew lemming is a strange animal and it is said that
no one can understand it. That is not
really true. I understand the small
Hebrew lemming, the stature of the rodent, who seeks to leap into the sea to
die. And if the sociologists and
psychologists and anthropologists and biologists and students of irrational
behavior will gather together, I will describe for you what makes the Hebrew
lemmings – run – to commit suicide.
The issue is not and never was “Lebanon”. The issue was never the “occupied territories
of 1967”. What strikes terror into the
hearts of the Hebrew lemmings of the stature of the rodent, is an immense cancer
called guilt, that grows inside of them until it gives them no rest.
The lemming of guilt is the Hebrew-speaking rodent who is
haunted by the thought that he is not only an oppressor and aggressor in the
“occupied lands of 1967” but he is also a thief and robber of a people he calls
“Palestinians”, and really has no right to any of the land that was once
“Palestine”. The Hebrew lemming of Suicide
Now is haunted by the thought that his family had no right to come from
Russia or Poland or Galicia or England or Canada or Argentina or the United
States to create a “Jewish State” on lands that were owned by others.
But since the lemming is the size of a rat, who lacks the
courage to honestly follow up his convictions, stand up before the
“Palestinian” and say: “I am a thief and
I hereby return my kibbutz to you” – he must, instead, fight all the harder for
the poor “Palestinian” in Judea, Samaria, Gaza, Lebanon. His weakness and inability to give up his
houses in Kibbutz Mishmar Ha’Emek or the artist’s colony of Ein Hod or the
tennis courts of Ramat Ha’Sharon or villa in Savyon, drives the Hebrew lemming
into even greater depression of guilt and self-hate. His need to prostrate himself before the poor
Arab of any other area except his own house becomes an all-consuming, obsessive
one.
And, of course, the guilt goes much further. The Hebrew lemming, who is a small animal
about the size of a rat, deeply despises with a psychopathic passion everything
that smacks of Judaism and the curse of fate that made him Jewish. In his little heart the lemming knows that
Judaism’s values are at odds with everything that he wishes his life to consist
of. The separateness and exclusivity of
Judaism vis-à-vis other peoples is anathema to his universalistic desire to
intermarry, assimilate, amalgamate with all the goyim and thus find love
and escape in their midst. The concept
of Chosenness repels him for he seeks anything that will enable him to
eliminate the barriers between Jews and others.
The holiness that decrees discipline and sanctity and abstinence and
personal limitations are all diametrically opposed to his materialistic need
for total freedom, anarchy, and limitless right to license. He sees in Judaism racism, primitiveness,
parochialism, concepts that he abhors because he seeks to be a universal
rodent. And faced with this Judaism, he
is faced, too, with the fact that he is a Jew.
This is the horror that he cannot abide.
From guilt emerges self-hate, black and ugly self-hate. The lemming must escape. His escape is through the sea. The Sea of Suicide, Suicide Now.
Let the state that he feels to be a robber state, go under. Let the people and faith that he sees as
reactionary and fascist and abominable, cease to exist. “Let my soul perish with the Philistines! The cry of the Hebrew lemmings of Suicide
Now.
The tragic
story of the Hebrew lemmings. But, if it
must be, it would be sufficient if they leaped into the sea themselves. The real tragedy is that while ordinary
lemmings take the plunge themselves, the Hebrew ones seeks to take all of us
with them.
And that
cannot be. That is why the lemmings of
Israel must be fought. Because they have
become more than an interesting zoological phenomenon. They threaten the existence of normal,
healthy, true Jews who are not small animals the size of a rodent.
THE GREAT DANGER (excerpt)
The great danger and most powerful weapon of the
Hebrew-speaking gentiles and lemmings of Israel, is their ability to so instill
guilt and doubt in us, that we close our mouths and minds and fear to say what
we know is to be true.
The small circle of leftists and guilt-ridden liberals,
intellectuals and frustrated artistic type, possesses a weapon of overwhelming
power, and it is this that enables them to march toward victory. Their control of the news media affords them
the opportunity, daily, to influence, indoctrinate, pervert, corrupt, an entire
generation that is their captive audience.
They decree the gentilized foreign culture that becomes the passion of
the masses. They decree the ideas and
perverted gentilized values that are heard and propagated over the waves. An entire generation of youth is in their
hands. And they are aided by the
frustrated spiritually sick, lost artists who join them in parody of championing
of “peace and love”. They din their message of perversion into our
ears every day, every hour, every minute.
