The core Jewish populations (excluding Ethiopian Jews, Yemeni Jews, etc.) and Palestinians share a genetic origin in the Levant. One could say the same about Lebanese and Syrians. However, the recent autosomal genetic studies make clear that the average group genetic profiles of Jews and Palestinians are not identical. The Palestinians have experienced admixture from Arabia as well as a mild degree of relatively recent (within the last 1000 years) sub-Saharan admixture. The Ashkenazim and Sephardim demonstrate evidence of admixture with (predominantly southern) Europeans, and all Jewish groups demonstrate less sub-Saharan admixture than the Palestinians (exact degree is a matter of dispute given methodologic deficiencies pointed out by Dienekes in a 2011 paper that treated the subject as well as subsequent discovery of East Asian-like admixture in the North European reference population). <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-48071767780892917762012-09-21T14:26:20.707-07:002012-09-21T14:26:20.707-07:00Largest open air concentration camp?

Become equally part of the whole while maintaining their separateness. Jews have been like this. Use universalism to be part of the larger community but maintain their separateness in terms of tribal interest and identity. Jews, instead of melting with White America--as did most white ethnic groups--, chose to guard their Jewishness even as they, more than any other group, pushed for even more radical universalism. So, Jews have been radical universalist tribalists. Since it worked for Jews to weaken white power, why not expand it to other non-white groups(and make sure those groups don't melt with whites either)? <br />Demand from whites that they treat non-whites as equals and as the 'same people', all the while maintaining special identities and privileges for non-whites(and gays). <br /><br />Haven't we had enough of Jewish foulness? <br /><br />Napoleon told the Jews: "Everything as Frenchmen, nothing as Jews." In other words, if Jews were to become equal citizens of the French republic, they must be French foremost and not Jewish. Equal rights, not special privileges. <br />But Jews have turned this around: "Everything for Jews as Jews, nothing for whites as whites." As Jews, Jews not only all the universal rights but all the special privileges as a 'minority'.

I'll admit that I...Anon 6:27: <br /><br />Okay, thanks. <br /><br />I'll admit that I find the idea of arresting people for recording politicians' speeches without permission even more offensive than the other way I've ever heard of these laws being used--to arrest people for recording the cops beating someone up. (It should be obvious, but in case it isn't: I do feel the same way regardless of what politician is being recorded.) <br /><br />My guess is that this is a change in the world as a result of technology. Once, even most speeches by most people would not have a videotape of them taken and made available to anyone. A speech by a prominent author or journalist or politician was heard by the people present, and maybe recorded or at least reported on by some local reporter, but wasn't going to show up on YouTube, partly because videocameras were expensive and big and obvious. And that meant that speeches could have more interesting content--the NYT columnist could say stuff in his speech at Duke that he wouldn't be able to get past the editors, and this wouldn't cause him any trouble later. Politicians could say radically different things to different audiences without much cross-contamination of messages. <br /><br />That's gotten harder, and probably will continue to get harder. Short term, I imagine this will make it even harder to get anything out of a national-level politician that isn't processed through their PR department to the point where it's flavorless mush. I'd like to think this will eventually lead us to stop wanting politicians to lie to and BS us, but that's wishful thinking--most people don't pay much attention to politics, even most voters don't, and so it will continue to pay to BS the public. It just won't be easy to BS different bits of the public differently.
