Today's Cultural Icon -"The SHJ"

Excellent article in this weeks JC by David Herman.
Once again highlighting this truly disturbing phenomenon, "The self hating Jew". With the award winning Howard Jacobson's novel "The Finkler Question" being one of the most talked about books of the moment, the "shj" is once again in the spotlight.
As Herman points put recent Jewish History is littered with the "SHJ", but today the problem is more serious today.
The anti-Israel bandwagon has very clever and well funded propoganda machinery and unfortunately a variety of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish, well funded organisations have sprung up, all with a common theme, those in charge, some of the biggest "SHJ" around.
This blog is not the place to "name names", but many of you will know who I am referring to. Only with good, clear, debate can we replace the publicity seeking "SHJ" with a positive pro-Israel and pro-Jewish alternative.

It is actually a misnomer. These people love themselves to bits.
"The self loving Jews" is more accurate. It is a deadly mix of Jewish arrogance combined with a hatred of Western civlization.

I haven't read Jacobson's novel but I really don't think that he has met enough of these Jewish anti-zionists. These people have no self-doubt. What they want is political power; they want to be in charge and they want to tell everyone
what to do. If they can torture and kill some Jewish opponents, so much the better. They are psychotic Jews. Not self-hating Jews.

Jon,
Take a look at this...

http://www.theaugeanstables.com/2010/08/11/not-self-hating-jews-but-jewi...

I was particularly inspired by Anthony Julius’s long two-part essay published at the American Jewish Committee site, Z Word. The piece was called Jewish anti-Zionism Unravelled: The Morality of Vanity. (Pt. 1 & Pt. 2). Julius also rejects the notion of such Jews as being “self-hating”. Instead he refers to them as moralisers who continually desire affirmation from the non-Jewish world as to their righteousness.

"The moraliser makes judgments on others, and profits by so doing; he puts himself on the right side of the fence. Moralising provides the moraliser with recognition of his own existence and confirmation of his own value. A moraliser has a good conscience and is satisfied by his own self-righteousness . He is not a self-hater; he is enfolded in self-admiration. He is in step with the best opinion."

Steve,
If you would care to communicate in English (with the odd bit of grammmar), I might be able to understand what you are on about. At present, I am flummoxed.

Steve,

Try English. I know it can be difficult what with all the stuff that you have to get right in order pass IGCSE, but it is worth perservering.

Remember... Michael Heseltine was dyslexic and he nearly got to become PM.

Once you can put a sentence together, the sky's the limit. Avi Reiss aint no intellectual, and you will be able to convince him in no time...

Of course, Hoffman might still pose problems? But "English" is worth a shot and it can be great fun putting sentences together. Look, I just wrote one. Is it really that difficult?

Thanks for the link.
Interesting stuff, but I still prefer "SHJ".
Avi Shlaim, Neve Gordon and the CiF contributors Naomi Klein, Richard Silverstein, Antony Lerman, Seth Freedman, Tony Greenstein,and their like.
Their vitriolic anti-Israel pronouncements are self loathing in its basest form, they mistakenly believe that by ingratiating themselves with our enemies in the way they do will make them "accepted", what they fail to realise is that behind their backs they are still sniggered at and pointed at as "those Jews". Very, very sad.

Jon,

It might be semantics, but I really do believe that "self-loving" is a lot more accurate than "self-hating". These guys are also getting massive adoration. So it plays to their enormous egos.

I dfefy you to find one of them who looks down in the dumps.

"This blog is not the place to "name names", but many of you will know who I am referring to."

Jon, well said. Remembering that the child-molester isn't Jewish, we know exactly to whom you refer.

There's nothing new about SHJ's, the innovation is their being exploited by the anti-Israeli groups. And it says something about the SHJ's that collectively they are to dumb to understand this.

I can't help wondering what their stand is on burkas? :-)
