The Judenrat.

In WW2 there was the phenomenon of the Judenrat, Jewish councils installed by the Germans everywhere they occupied to administer the Jews through their own leadership. Usually the members of this council were recognized leaders from the community. The Germans figured rightly that people who get told the bad news by their own are less likely to rebel than when told by the Enemy. At the same time you can manipulate a small group of seemingly privileged people by appearing to make them part of the decision-making process, by sharing information with them that makes difficult measures easier to accept, while at the same time making it clear that the ordinary people are incapable of digesting that info. It makes the council feel more elite still. Apart from this psychological mechanism, there was always the hope that, being a member of the Council, you had better chances of survival, or could hustle and arrange things that ordinary people could not.

Wether they realized it or not, members of the Judenrat were traitors. They aided the Europeans in general and the Germans in particular in their Final Solution. No matter what they told themselves the benefit would or might be, no matter what small advantages they gained through their actions, they were a powerful tool in the Germans' quest for the destruction of the Jews.

Even if all the members of all the Judenrats were murdered, their spiritual descendants are among us. Jews are among the worst enemies of the Jewish people. Jews belonging to the category I refer to are all the more evil because other Jewhaters still regard them as Jews, and use their opinions and attitudes to show that even Jews themselves are repulsed by Jews.

The Jews I speak of all have certain traits in common:

They regard themselves more as members of the general community they live in than as part of the Jewish community

They value (their idea of) morality higher than the welfare of the Jews.

They greatly value being regarded as objective, or neutral, in any conflict. They place great importance on the opinion of non-Jews where their own position is concerned. They will do everything they can to avoid siding with Israel or the Jews, because they know siding with Israel by Jews is taken for granted by non-Jews.

They have all (in spite of the horrible losses they have ALL suffered in their families) neglected to learn the most important lesson: Israel, the Jews, have very few friends. They have many great and powerful living and thriving enemies, that rejoice at the death of every Jew, past, present and future. They see the Holocaust as a fluke, an event separate from history and separate from presentday events. They are wrong.

The Jews I refer to make many of the same mistakes that non-Jews make when they try to form an opinion on the current situation in Israel. This is in itself understandable. But Jews have a far greater responsibility when openly criticizing Israel. Jews are so few. Jews have been persecuted for as long as history records. Jews now have a tiny country, that most of the world is ready to split, and give one half away to an implacable enemy, one of many.
The Jews don't need another critical voice, there are literally billions of those. They need more friends and allies, not the type that claim to be by "criticizing constructively", but by unconditional support.

If Jews don't stand by each other this way, history IS bound to repeat itself.
