Here’s another quote from Horowitz that is very relevant today. Horowitz is talking about the Black Panthers with whom he worked closely:
A strain of anti-Semitism had developed in the Party during the years [Huey Newton, the founder of BP] was in prison. Of course, the Panthers were not alone among black radicals in their attacks on Jews. In 1966, Stokeley Carmichael and the leaders of SNCC had expelled whites from the civil-rights organization, accusing them of being a fifth column inside the movement. Since Jews were a near majority of the whites in these organizations, and had played a strategic role in organizing and funding the struggle, it was clear to everyone that they were the primary target of the assault.
First, Jewish intellectuals create these organizations and then they are shocked, just shocked that their own creations invariably want to destroy them.
Whoever recommended the book did the right thing.
\ First, Jewish intellectuals create these organizations and then they are shocked, just shocked that their own creations invariably want to destroy them.
Are there any examples of the same happening in Right wing orgs? I suppose, most American Jews are Left wing, so such examples may not be on the ground in USA, but in other countries.
Found this:
Lets ask this differently then: wouldn’t the same have happened with Right wing orgs, had Jews started contributing to them?
Is this not the usual fate of Jews outside Israel?

One comes to mind that’s the opposite: Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO).
They work alongside right-wing organisations to preserve firearms ownership in the US, and membership in the organisation is open to “all law-abiding citizens”.
You’ll also probably never hear of them in the mainstream US press.

There are much bigger things at work here for which comments are too short a format …
But consider what you may have regarded as perhaps a boast: our people did in fact lose a university system.
The hollowed out skeleton still clambers around, but the thing-in-itself is essentially dead and has been for over a century.
Despite that, when people encounter it, they often do so with all seriousness.
What kind of choice, or more precisely what most horrible of choices, would motivate our people to have done such a thing at a huge expense to us?
Don’t for a moment believe it was because we saw a better world: it’s far more likely that we were trying to prevent an even more horrible one.

Class confers memory, so how much class do you think confers … oh, say, about 1450 years?
