Blaxit: Tired of Racism, Black Americans Try Life in Africa

February 16, 2024 in News

Jes’ka Washington lives in a six-bedroom house on a hill with avocado trees and a spectacular view, not far from the rabbit farm she runs. For less than $50,000, Shoshana Kirya-Ziraba and her husband built a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house on family farmland with goats, turkeys and about a thousand chickens. Mark and Marlene Bradley now call themselves islanders and the owners of three homes cooled by ocean breezes.

All of them are Black Americans who found their new homes in Africa. They are enjoying the substantially lower cost of living and, more important, they said, the absence of the racism and discrimination they experienced in the United States.

The Covid pandemic and the racial reckoning in the wake of the murder of George Floyd led some Black Americans to seek a different way of life abroad, in a movement that some are calling Blaxit.

Those moving to Africa are also looking for an ancestral connection. Their migration is less about money and more about acceptance, a path that many intellectuals and artists have taken before.

I strongly doubt if this will become a big thing. Still, as more African immigrants show up in the United States, more African-Americans will likely find themselves with a spouse who wants to move back home to Africa.

But I’d like to see more analytical/investigative articles about questions like:

Which type of African-Americans find happiness in Africa and which types give up and come back? I’m guessing the best prospects are pensioners who are fairly young, like 40-somethings newly retired from the military. And African-Americans who grew up on farms and like doing some farming and have a lot of do-it-yourself skills.

I doubt if your more “urban” black Americans are happy in Africa.

Which African countries work out best for African Americans? Botswana? Rwanda? Ghana? Kenya? Which are the most English-speaking? Which have reasonable levels of competence and not too much corruption and crime? And where can you be reasonably confident about the long term. E.g., Rwanda has had a talented dictator for the last 30 years, Paul Kagame. But he’s getting old. What happens next?

    This is a non-trend, or, ok, a micro-trend. It is utterly dwarfed by the--utterly depressing--millions of new Africans in the US.

    However, it is useful in one respect. I've already noted "No reparations without repatriation". Extending ...

    Conservatives should stop being pussies and answer all minoritarian whining with a generalized: "Don't like it here ... ok make aliyah."

    The plain truth is the "coalition of the fringes" is essentially parasitic upon America's white gentile core. They did not come here to settle the land or for a great climate. They came--and still come ---because my ancestors created a better nation, than wherever they are from. They are short--some way, way, way short--integration and loyalty. They are not making America better for us.

    Blacks (Africans), Jews (Israelis), Muslims, Latinos, Indians, Chinese .... keep on coming and coming and coming ... running toward their supposed "oppression".

    Conservatives should answer all the "racism!", "anti-Semitism!", "Islamophobia!", "Xenophobia!" whines with a simple "GTFO." "Ten thousand and a ticket" has a nice ring to it. Of course, that only really starts solving the problem, once you do the basic and stop the invasion.

    She’s black, but that’s an interesting given name, isn’t it? (Her maiden name appears to be McKinney.)

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/shoshana-mckinney-kirya-ziraba-b1910793

    She’s the Executive Director of Tikvah Foundation Uganda according to the LinkedIn profile. What is Tikvah?

    https://tikvahfund.org/

    Tikvah is a non-profit ideas institution committed to supporting the intellectual, religious, and political leaders of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Tikvah runs and invests in a wide range of initiatives in Israel, the United States, and around the world, including educational programs, publications, and fellowships. We invite you to explore some of these initiatives through the links on this page.

    Our animating mission and guiding spirit is to advance Jewish excellence and Jewish flourishing in the modern age. Tikvah is politically Zionist, economically free-market oriented, culturally traditional, and theologically open-minded. Yet in all issues and subjects, we welcome vigorous debate and big arguments. Our institutes, programs, and publications all reflect this spirit of bringing forward the serious alternatives for what the Jewish future should look like, and bringing Jewish thinking and leaders into conversation with Western political, moral, and economic thought.

    Nah, these are completely different organizations. McKinney's organization is Tikvah Hadasha (Tikvah means hope, hence New Hope.) It's a mom and pop shop in Uganda

    This is blurb from website of Tifereth Israel synagogue (Conservative shul, LGBT friendly blah blah etc.) in San Diego where she was scholar in residence once.

    "Shoshana McKinney is the executive director of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda, a community-based non-profit organization she founded with her Ugandan Jewish husband. Like many of you, Shoshana was born and raised in Southern California. She is a religious Jewish mom and stepmom living in Uganda full-time since 2021.

    The mission of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda is to permanently eliminate grinding poverty through providing opportunities to earn a livelihood. The organization creates, equips and stocks sustainable chicken farms for poor Jewish women who are trained with the knowledge to leave day labor in the vegetable fields behind. Tikvah Chadasha Uganda also breaks down barriers to education for disabled children in Uganda in many ways; these include providing crutches, wheelchairs and sign language training to hearing parents and teachers of deaf children."
     

    Her husband is evidently 'abayudaya' or something similar (Not exactly but sort of Ugandan version of Ethiopian Falash-Mura ). Tikvah Fund on the other hand is super slick high powered Jewish philanthropy org. with lots of resources , A-list donors etc. The 2 organizations share little in common outside the word tikvah.

    From the original article:


    Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba, who is Jewish, said that when she moved to Uganda to join her husband, Israel Kirya, she went from being “a minority within a minority” to being surrounded by those who share her race and faith. Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba, who worked for a commercial real estate company in Texas, now runs Tikvah Chadasha Foundation, a nonprofit supporting Ugandan women and disabled children. She and her husband live in Mbale, a small city that is home to the Abayudaya Jewish community, which has about 2,000 members.

    In the United States, Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba said, her identity came with qualifications: “Other Black people try to qualify my Blackness because I’m Jewish, and other Jews try to qualify my Judaism because I’m Black.”
     
    Looking up “Abayudaya” one finds a Wikipedia entry for them:

    The Abayudaya (Abayudaya is Luganda for "People of Judah") are a Jewish community in eastern Uganda, near the town of Mbale. They are devout in their practice, keeping kashrut and observing Shabbat.

    There are several different villages where the Abayudaya live. A community that converted to Judaism in the 20th century, most community members are affiliated with the Reform and Conservative movements of Judaism. In June 2016, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin led a Beit Din that performed an Orthodox conversion for the Putti community of Abayudaya.

    How about American Blacks and Jews getting together so that they can create a new homeland in Uganda where they can miscegenate into a new Afro-Zionist man. This would help the Jew lacking in the area of athletic ability and help the Negro who severely lacks in the area of intelligence. It could also go the other way creating a new race that's smart, absolutely crazy and insanely violent. Oh, we've already got that in Israel with no African genetic input.

    Could be a lot to this. The United States was a world leader when it was able to develop in the second phase of the industrial revolution and had almost unlimited natural resources and land.

    With the construction of the interstate road system from the 1960s onwards, the United States was able to develop and expand based on the idea that everybody had a car, every store and every restaurant had a parking lot, and the United States practically invented suburbia in which every freestanding house stood in the center of a lot, usually with a lawn made of super green grass.

    But now many countries that were left behind have skipped over the interstate highway, parking lot, and suburbia age.

    Now that natural resources are running out and pollution is a major issue, and the internet is everywhere, densely populated historic cities are coming back, and quick clean and fast public transportation is developing much faster than in the United States, which has boxed itself into a corner.

    This may not be the case in all parts of Africa, but any place where you have internet communications or satellite dishes, you can build your own enclave and live well on an income which might only be in the middle range in the United States. Part of the reason for this is that almost everywhere else healthcare is much, much cheaper.

    You are cheapening the word genocide. This is being done intentionally in order to blur actual genocides (such as that committed against the Jews) from fake ones so as to deprive Israelis of their moral standing as the chief victims of genocide (by white Europeans), upon which the legitimacy of the state of Israel rests in part.

    I can understand that people are unhappy with the level of civilian casualties in Gaza (although 600,000 dead in Syria didn't seem to bother them much) but calling that a "genocide" is just a propagandistic lie. A genocide is a specific thing and this ain't it. There are billions of Muslims and millions in Gaza and they are in no danger of being exterminated.

    Europeans are in much greater danger due to lack of fertility. The Gaza fertility rate is 3.38, well above replacement. In Greece it is 1.34, well below. We will run out of Greeks long before we run out of Gazans. Even with the current war, more Gazans are being born than are dying so their population is only going up.

    At least 1,500 African Americans have moved to Ghana since 2019, following a campaign by Ghana's government. The campaign, dubbed the "Year of Return," became a catalyst for many descendants of Africans in the diaspora to embark on a spiritual journey.

    The nation state of Liberia was expressly established by the ‘American Colonization Society’ as a reparation – in the truest sense of the word – to right the wrong of chattel slavery as practised in the USA by returning freed slaves to their ancestral home and ancestral way of life.
    An excellent and laudable proposition, the real tragedy is that the project was never properly seen through to completion.

    The only trouble was that the American blacks, once on Liberian soil, started behaving in a haughty and aggressive manner to the local blacks, incurring the hatred of the locals, and centuries of warfare.

    I think a fairer characterization is that the ACS sought to solve the perceived problem of free blacks in the US by incentivizing slaves to earn freedom by agreeing to colonize Liberia. The story of the hostility of northerners to migrating freed slaves is an important and mostly embargoed part of the Civil War/abolition story. The ACS sought to repeat the earlier British expulsion of blacks who were removed to the UK from North America following the Revolution. The British expelled this population by relocating them to Sierra Leone.

    CP Scott was onto something when he said nothing good can come of a Latin-Greek bastardization. He was talking about television, specifically, but it fits as well sociology, homosexual, hypermarché, and now genocide. It's like the ancients have put a curse on such words. (Mea culpa. Even I used hyperinflation in a recent comment. Hyper- just sounds more, well... hyper, than ultra.)

    the chief victims of genocide
     
    Jews are near the top, yes, but are they "chief" by any of various standards? Armenians predated them, Ukrainians outnumbered* them, Rwandan Tutsis suffered a higher proportion of losses. (Though Burundi's Tutsis were mostly untouched.) Come to think of it, Lemkin was talking about Armenians when he coined the word in 1943.

    "We suffered" can invite sympathy, but "we suffered the worst" just invites "Oh, yeah, well what about...?" Such one-upmanship works against your case, not for it. (Does it even work in a court of law?)


    There are billions of Muslims and millions in Gaza and they are in no danger of being exterminated.
     
    Not even "ethnic cleansing". But religious cleansing is pretty much complete in once-Christian Gaza, which has a nice but mostly empty cathedral. Gaza has the approximate size and population of the City and County of Philadelphia, but her Christian population is about half that of just the Armenian-born in Philly.

    One of the better, if little-used, points for the Israeli case is that there are about 20 Arabic-speaking Christians in Israel proper for every one left in Gaza.

    *As did Chinese under Mao, but that was done to his own people, so wouldn't count as "genocide". Perhaps "autogenocide". As is the case in the West and, in a different way, the Orient.

This is being done intentionally in order to blur actual genocides (such as that committed against the Jews) from fake ones so as to deprive Israelis of their moral standing as the chief victims of genocide (by white Europeans), upon which the legitimacy of the state of Israel rests in part.
     
    Agree there is no "genocide" in Gaza. (A fair amount of killing, that I'm dubious is going to do much in solving the fundamental problem that the Jews and Palestinians should be in completely separate viable nations ... but both claim the same real estate.)

    However--I know this is deeply offensive to minoritarian ideology--there is no "moral standing" that comes from being somebody's victim, much less historical victim. (Individually or as a group.) You're just a victim. (A separate issue: Jews are not the "chief victims" of genocide. The chief victims of genocide no long exist. Nor is it clear how German oppression of Jews would somehow give Jews some sort of right to colonize Arab land. That's some bizarro ethics.)

    Moral standing--well people obviously argue about it. But most people see all humans as inherently having some sort of moral standing from being humans. And then you may forfeit it or improve upon it by your actions. Robbers breaking into your house and killing some members of your family, doesn't improve your moral standing. Maybe being a good-neighbor does? Jews are smart, and they do not tend to shoot up super-bowl parades, but they are not renown for the sort of qualities/virtues--neighborliness, fair-dealing, honesty--that might conceivably raise moral-standing above "default human".

    The Jews have murdered 1.5% of the civilian population of Gaza in the last four months. You are trying to tell me that 30,000 babies got born in Gaza in the last four months when Jews were murdering pregnant women trying to go to hospitals? When Jews were pulling the plugs on babies' incubators (How evil can these Jews get)?

    No, 30,000 babies did not get born in Gaza in the last four months, you (((congenital liar))).

    OT -- Begining in mid-2021 embalmers in advanced countries started finding massive numbers of weird long white amaloid clots in dead people. 30% of corpses had the clots in 2022, declining to 20% in 2023.

    Coincidentally, excess deaths are running 10-15% above normal as well. But official health organizations and public intellectuals are uninterested, so I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

    Why Yes, JD, that occurred to everybody, since fake "long COVID" is the favorite excuse of every Pfizer shill. During COVID in 2020 there were even a very few clots showing up since they are apparently caused by the spike protein. But it was only the vax rollout in 2021 that really started the phenomenon.

    The mRNA vax programs your own tissues to bathe you with spike proteins so it's basically like having the "long COVID" that the vax apologists invent in their minds.

    From the original article:

    Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba, who is Jewish, said that when she moved to Uganda to join her husband, Israel Kirya, she went from being “a minority within a minority” to being surrounded by those who share her race and faith. Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba, who worked for a commercial real estate company in Texas, now runs Tikvah Chadasha Foundation, a nonprofit supporting Ugandan women and disabled children. She and her husband live in Mbale, a small city that is home to the Abayudaya Jewish community, which has about 2,000 members.

    In the United States, Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba said, her identity came with qualifications: “Other Black people try to qualify my Blackness because I’m Jewish, and other Jews try to qualify my Judaism because I’m Black.”

    Looking up “Abayudaya” one finds a Wikipedia entry for them:

    The Abayudaya (Abayudaya is Luganda for “People of Judah”) are a Jewish community in eastern Uganda, near the town of Mbale. They are devout in their practice, keeping kashrut and observing Shabbat.

    There are several different villages where the Abayudaya live. A community that converted to Judaism in the 20th century, most community members are affiliated with the Reform and Conservative movements of Judaism. In June 2016, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin led a Beit Din that performed an Orthodox conversion for the Putti community of Abayudaya.

However, as long as the American has money they can enjoy the privilege of expat status.

    One can't be absolutely certain of such a thing but there is really no prima facie reason to think so. As an example, there are more than 10,000! charities in the USA with the word "hope' in their name/s. Is there any reason to think that one is affiliated with another absent other evidence? Of course with 'tikvah' we are dealing with a vastly smaller universe of charities but the principle is the same. Furthermore, there are several reasons why a relationship between Tikvah and Tikvah Hadasha is unlikely.

    1 - While Tikvah is not exactly an Orthodox institution, it does have an Orthodox-leaning bias ( It was conceived of and endowed by the late Sanford Bernstein who was a mid-life returnee to Orthodox Judaism) and the dubious halachic status of the Abayudaya would make Tikvah Hadasha an unlikely beneficiary of Tikvah largesse.

    2 - Tikvah is very West/ White collar/ Academic focused. This kind of retail, hands dirty, dealing with live chickens kind of work is really not their thing.

    3 - Conversely, slicksters that they are, if they were funding this, they would be trumpeting it from the rooftops to demonstrate their 'inclusivity' etc., etc. You would search their annual report in vain for any mention of this or similar programs
    https://tikvahfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Tikvah_2024_web.pdf

    In summation, while one can't be completely positive, I find it extremely unlikely that the two entities have any relationship other than a similar name.

    This happens an awful lot with Jamaicans returning home from the UK.

  26. Colonization, i.e. repatriation to Africa, was the most popular solution to the slavery problem in antebellum America. Contrary to myth, the relatively few who had misgivings about slavery did not wish to allow blacks to live among them as social or political equals. The chief opponents of the scheme were the small but vocal communities of free blacks in the northern states. They formed mutual interest societies and issued periodic public “memorials” on their position. They attempted to appeal to whites by reminding them of their natural desire to remain in the land of their birth. They regarded Africa as a dangerous alien land populated by savage tribesmen and wild beasts, and they wanted no part of it. (This was also largely the attitude of world Jewry to Zionism in its first four decades, but that’s another story.) It’s a sad commentary on human nature that slaves who were purchased by the American Colonization Society and sent to Liberia soon formed a caste over the native people, whom they treated with disdain and often cruelty.

    I can understand that people are unhappy with the level of civilian casualties in Gaza (although 600,000 dead in Syria didn't seem to bother them much) but calling that a "genocide" is just a propagandistic lie. A genocide is a specific thing and this ain't it. There are billions of Muslims and millions in Gaza and they are in no danger of being exterminated.

    Europeans are in much greater danger due to lack of fertility. The Gaza fertility rate is 3.38, well above replacement. In Greece it is 1.34, well below. We will run out of Greeks long before we run out of Gazans. Even with the current war, more Gazans are being born than are dying so their population is only going up.

    ...is basic common sense. Slaves have no place in a free republic. Or a free monarchy, for that matter.

    As for buying off the planters, with what? Weren't they already the richest men in the land? The ratio of slave to free man was five to ten times higher in the US than in the British Empire-- and their slaves were already abroad. (There were thousands of black servants in England in the 19th century, but under arrangements other than ownership.)

    On the other, the real problem that plagues moderately to very successful blacks are other blacks in America, not society at large. Unlike basically every other group, blacks do not look down on/shun their most dysfunctional members - in fact, they are quite unified with them politically to mitigate the consequences of their behavior. As long as this is the case, members of this group will be judged by the typical behavior of their lowest common denominator.

    I think a fairer characterization is that the ACS sought to solve the perceived problem of free blacks in the US by incentivizing slaves to earn freedom by agreeing to colonize Liberia. The story of the hostility of northerners to migrating freed slaves is an important and mostly embargoed part of the Civil War/abolition story. The ACS sought to repeat the earlier British expulsion of blacks who were removed to the UK from North America following the Revolution.

    The story of the hostility of northerners to migrating freed slaves

    …is basic common sense. Slaves have no place in a free republic. Or a free monarchy, for that matter.

    As for buying off the planters, with what? Weren’t they already the richest men in the land? The ratio of slave to free man was five to ten times higher in the US than in the British Empire– and their slaves were already abroad. (There were thousands of black servants in England in the 19th century, but under arrangements other than ownership.)

    It would have been easier and cheaper to declare slaves in the US illegal aliens, and deport them.

    That's why Parliament finally passed laws vs this kind of worker exploitation. It's why the Labour Party in the early 20th century got off the ground and post WW2, gave the nation Clement Atlee.

    “…is basic common sense. Slaves have no place in a free republic. Or a free monarchy, for that matter.”

    The hostility in the North was more ethnic, crime concerns and competing labor. The topic is covered at http://slavenorth.com/. This is an extensive database, you may need to do some searching. Northerners never viewed freed blacks as anything but an unwanted nuisance. No doubt some objected on philosophical grounds that you suggest, but the majority didn’t want or like Blacks generally.

    The British population had the same concerns. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/2020/06/27/british-founding-sierra-leone-slave-trade/

    “In 1772, a large number of slaves brought to England to work in domestic households were liberated, largely from the homes of absentee British plantation owners in the Caribbean. They were termed London’s ‘Black Poor’, along with African-Americans who served the British Army in the American Revolution (Black Loyalists), living in London in difficult conditions. Although no reliable data exists, it seems that around 15,000 black people were living at the time in Britain.”

    “In 1786, the Committee for the Relief of the Black Poor proposed a scheme for repatriation to a territory in Africa where they could be free and govern themselves. High hopes were set, and the British Treasury fronted the project and provided other materials such as clothes, tools and weapons for the settlers. Though the effort received official support from the British authorities, the reasons impelling it were probably a ‘poisonous combination of hypocrisy and bigotry’. Accordingly, the objective was to rid Britain of black people, as they were seen as a threat to the purity of the white race.”

    Note the PC explanation. Blacks in London had become criminals and a social burden.

    You ask: “As for buying off the planters, with what?”

    A large plantation was established in Alabama by a wealthy southern family called Hopewell that were also officers of the ACS where slaves could earn income in exchange for labor that could be used to finance resettlement to Liberia. The first black immigrants from the US were associated with Hopewell. Further it is a fiction that slaves never earned money. Many did as incentives for high level skills. Many earned their freedom this way. Jefferson Davis had a slave who acquired a patent on an invention that provided money with which freedom could be purchased. Much home construction was performed by skilled slaves who earned income. Not all slaves were cotton pickers.

    You are cheapening the word genocide. This is being done intentionally in order to blur actual genocides (such as that committed against the Jews) from fake ones so as to deprive Israelis of their moral standing as the chief victims of genocide (by white Europeans), upon which the legitimacy of the state of Israel rests in part.

    I can understand that people are unhappy with the level of civilian casualties in Gaza (although 600,000 dead in Syria didn't seem to bother them much) but calling that a "genocide" is just a propagandistic lie. A genocide is a specific thing and this ain't it. There are billions of Muslims and millions in Gaza and they are in no danger of being exterminated.

    Europeans are in much greater danger due to lack of fertility. The Gaza fertility rate is 3.38, well above replacement. In Greece it is 1.34, well below. We will run out of Greeks long before we run out of Gazans. Even with the current war, more Gazans are being born than are dying so their population is only going up.

    From the original article:


    Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba, who is Jewish, said that when she moved to Uganda to join her husband, Israel Kirya, she went from being “a minority within a minority” to being surrounded by those who share her race and faith. Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba, who worked for a commercial real estate company in Texas, now runs Tikvah Chadasha Foundation, a nonprofit supporting Ugandan women and disabled children. She and her husband live in Mbale, a small city that is home to the Abayudaya Jewish community, which has about 2,000 members.

    In the United States, Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba said, her identity came with qualifications: “Other Black people try to qualify my Blackness because I’m Jewish, and other Jews try to qualify my Judaism because I’m Black.”
     
    Looking up “Abayudaya” one finds a Wikipedia entry for them:

    The Abayudaya (Abayudaya is Luganda for "People of Judah") are a Jewish community in eastern Uganda, near the town of Mbale. They are devout in their practice, keeping kashrut and observing Shabbat.

    There are several different villages where the Abayudaya live. A community that converted to Judaism in the 20th century, most community members are affiliated with the Reform and Conservative movements of Judaism. In June 2016, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin led a Beit Din that performed an Orthodox conversion for the Putti community of Abayudaya.

For example, even though Stalin killed a lot of Ukrainians, there were a lot left over, enough to still form a country. However, by the time Hitler got done, you could go from one end of Poland to the other and not meet a single Jew. And keep in mind that the big cities of Poland were 30% or more Jewish before the war. Imagine Detroit or New Orleans without a single black person being left. Nor was this population just displaced like the Greek community of Turkey - they were mostly murdered. The Armenian genocide was bad but the numbers involved were a lot smaller. And the Holocaust had unique features such as the construction of death factories not found in others.

    Not one still affiliated with the religion perhaps. Are you suggesting that Poland is bereft of conversos? FWIW, I know a Polish Catholic second generation immigrant, Catholic schools and all, with a surname where the internet provides lists of Rabbis and other persons of Jewish heritage as the most notable possessors of that surname. Is that a function of Jewish achievement, Jewish management of notables lists on the internet or an converso phenomenon? I’ve no idea.

    You are cheapening the word genocide. This is being done intentionally in order to blur actual genocides (such as that committed against the Jews) from fake ones so as to deprive Israelis of their moral standing as the chief victims of genocide (by white Europeans), upon which the legitimacy of the state of Israel rests in part.

    I can understand that people are unhappy with the level of civilian casualties in Gaza (although 600,000 dead in Syria didn't seem to bother them much) but calling that a "genocide" is just a propagandistic lie. A genocide is a specific thing and this ain't it. There are billions of Muslims and millions in Gaza and they are in no danger of being exterminated.

    Europeans are in much greater danger due to lack of fertility. The Gaza fertility rate is 3.38, well above replacement. In Greece it is 1.34, well below. We will run out of Greeks long before we run out of Gazans. Even with the current war, more Gazans are being born than are dying so their population is only going up.

    She’s the Executive Director of Tikvah Foundation Uganda according to the LinkedIn profile. What is Tikvah?

    https://tikvahfund.org/
     

    Nah, these are completely different organizations. McKinney's organization is Tikvah Hadasha (Tikvah means hope, hence New Hope.) It's a mom and pop shop in Uganda

    This is blurb from website of Tifereth Israel synagogue (Conservative shul, LGBT friendly blah blah etc.) in San Diego where she was scholar in residence once.

    "Shoshana McKinney is the executive director of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda, a community-based non-profit organization she founded with her Ugandan Jewish husband. Like many of you, Shoshana was born and raised in Southern California. She is a religious Jewish mom and stepmom living in Uganda full-time since 2021.

    The mission of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda is to permanently eliminate grinding poverty through providing opportunities to earn a livelihood. The organization creates, equips and stocks sustainable chicken farms for poor Jewish women who are trained with the knowledge to leave day labor in the vegetable fields behind. Tikvah Chadasha Uganda also breaks down barriers to education for disabled children in Uganda in many ways; these include providing crutches, wheelchairs and sign language training to hearing parents and teachers of deaf children."
     

    Her husband is evidently 'abayudaya' or something similar (Not exactly but sort of Ugandan version of Ethiopian Falash-Mura ). Tikvah Fund on the other hand is super slick high powered Jewish philanthropy org. with lots of resources , A-list donors etc. The 2 organizations share little in common outside the word tikvah.

    I incorrectly and erroneously attributed Shoshana Kirya-Ziraba's employer to the larger Tikvah Fund, but no conspiracy of any kind was stated, suggested or implied. Or did you just assume so, because I wrote critical things about Jews in the past?

    To the extent I implied anything, it was that the person in question was not your garden-variety black person (or even a garden-variety upper middle class black person) returning to Mother Africa, but rather a Jewish or Jewish convert married to the same working for a Jewish non-profit in Uganda - a highly unusual circumstance.

    Indeed, the Jewish Federation of San Diego explains thusly: https://www.jewishinsandiego.org/san-diego-jewish-community-calendar/shoshana-mckinney-of-tikvah-uganda-scholar-in-residence-at-tifereth-israel-1688903068/

    Did it ever occur to you that these clots (and excess deaths) are a result of Covid itself and not the vax?
     
    Why Yes, JD, that occurred to everybody, since fake "long COVID" is the favorite excuse of every Pfizer shill. During COVID in 2020 there were even a very few clots showing up since they are apparently caused by the spike protein. But it was only the vax rollout in 2021 that really started the phenomenon.

    The mRNA vax programs your own tissues to bathe you with spike proteins so it's basically like having the "long COVID" that the vax apologists invent in their minds.

    I agree that "my genocide was bigger than yours" is a stupid game - who wants to win that dubious prize? But I think it's safe to say that the genocide of the Jews in Europe was AMONG the biggest ones of the 20th century and that there is nothing going on that merits that name in Gaza right now.

    If you really want to quibble, some of these other events are not entirely comparable. For example, even though Stalin killed a lot of Ukrainians, there were a lot left over, enough to still form a country. However, by the time Hitler got done, you could go from one end of Poland to the other and not meet a single Jew.

    Larger charities often provide grants and seed money to smaller ("mom-and-pop") charities, especially overseas (or in geographic regions where they themselves do not operate). The chance that some among the 60 Jewish charities have something in common more than the name is a lot higher than the chance that "all 10,000" charities do (I am reasonably sure, though, that some among that 10,000 are related in some way).

    And, again, what is this "conspiracy" nonsense? What conspiracy did I claim here?

    Are you certain though that her mom-and-pop operation is not underwritten by the more powerful Tikvah outfit?

    One can’t be absolutely certain of such a thing but there is really no prima facie reason to think so. As an example, there are more than 10,000! charities in the USA with the word “hope’ in their name/s. Is there any reason to think that one is affiliated with another absent other evidence? Of course with ‘tikvah’ we are dealing with a vastly smaller universe of charities but the principle is the same. Furthermore, there are several reasons why a relationship between Tikvah and Tikvah Hadasha is unlikely.

    1 – While Tikvah is not exactly an Orthodox institution, it does have an Orthodox-leaning bias ( It was conceived of and endowed by the late Sanford Bernstein who was a mid-life returnee to Orthodox Judaism) and the dubious halachic status of the Abayudaya would make Tikvah Hadasha an unlikely beneficiary of Tikvah largesse.

    2 – Tikvah is very West/ White collar/ Academic focused. This kind of retail, hands dirty, dealing with live chickens kind of work is really not their thing.

    3 – Conversely, slicksters that they are, if they were funding this, they would be trumpeting it from the rooftops to demonstrate their ‘inclusivity’ etc., etc. You would search their annual report in vain for any mention of this or similar programs
    https://tikvahfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Tikvah_2024_web.pdf

Even I used hyperinflation in a recent comment. Hyper- just sounds more, well... hyper, than ultra.)

    the chief victims of genocide
     
    Jews are near the top, yes, but are they "chief" by any of various standards? Armenians predated them, Ukrainians outnumbered* them, Rwandan Tutsis suffered a higher proportion of losses. (Though Burundi's Tutsis were mostly untouched.) Come to think of it, Lemkin was talking about Armenians when he coined the word in 1943.

    "We suffered" can invite sympathy, but "we suffered the worst" just invites "Oh, yeah, well what about...?" Such one-upmanship works against your case, not for it. (Does it even work in a court of law?)


    There are billions of Muslims and millions in Gaza and they are in no danger of being exterminated.
     
    Not even "ethnic cleansing". But religious cleansing is pretty much complete in once-Christian Gaza, which has a nice but mostly empty cathedral. Gaza has the approximate size and population of the City and County of Philadelphia, but her Christian population is about half that of just the Armenian-born in Philly.

    One of the better, if little-used, points for the Israeli case is that there are about 20 Arabic-speaking Christians in Israel proper for every one left in Gaza.

    *As did Chinese under Mao, but that was done to his own people, so wouldn't count as "genocide". Perhaps "autogenocide". As is the case in the West and, in a different way, the Orient.

    Bernard Lewis wrote of Arab "infiltration" into Gaza even before Mohammed's time. The Great Mosque of Gaza started out as a Byzantine church, was captured by the Moslems, recaptured by the Crusaders for a short time, then destroyed and rebuilt as a mosque. The Church of St Porphirius also dates to the fifth century (AD!!), and was also Islamicized for a time, but is back to her roots today. It is of course Orthodox. So there has been a lot of back-and-forth over the years.

    There is also a small Roman Catholic parish in Gaza, Holy Family. Both this and St Porphyrius are under their respective churches' Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

You’re just a victim. (A separate issue: Jews are not the “chief victims” of genocide. The chief victims of genocide no long exist. Nor is it clear how German oppression of Jews would somehow give Jews some sort of right to colonize Arab land. That’s some bizarro ethics.)

    Moral standing–well people obviously argue about it. But most people see all humans as inherently having some sort of moral standing from being humans. And then you may forfeit it or improve upon it by your actions. Robbers breaking into your house and killing some members of your family, doesn’t improve your moral standing. Maybe being a good-neighbor does? Jews are smart, and they do not tend to shoot up super-bowl parades, but they are not renown for the sort of qualities/virtues–neighborliness, fair-dealing, honesty–that might conceivably raise moral-standing above “default human”.

    Consider Israel to be Western Civilization's reparations award to the Jewish people. Germany expressly acknowledges this and has paid billions in reparations to Israel.

    Now, the Palestinians might object and say that Israel was not England's or the UN's to give in the 1st place. Legally it was the land of the defunct Ottoman Empire so it didn't belong to the Palestinians either (they never had their own country). The part that the British gave to the Hashemite kings (today called Jordan) was not theirs to give either (nor was it the Hashemites - the hereditary rules of Saudi Arabia - Jordan was a consolation prize), nor for that matter were any of the countries constructed by the victors out of the land of the defeated powers of WWI and WWII, so Israel's claim is no better or worse than a lot of other countries that no one questions, only Israel.

    Ultimately Israel exists and will exist because Israelis are willing to defend it with their lives. The UN Partition and everything else would have meant (and still mean) nothing unless Israel defended itself from attack and that is what it is doing in Gaza right now. The situation in Gaza, where Hamas would periodically bombard Israel with rockets, was already insane BEFORE Oct. 7, but the Israelis put up with it as the best of the alternatives, all of which were bad. But after Oct. 7 it reached its logical culmination (not only rocket attacks but physical invasion) and became TRULY intolerable. No sovereign country can tolerate such attacks without a definitive response and continue to exist as a nation.

    Are you certain though that her mom-and-pop operation is not underwritten by the more powerful Tikvah outfit?
     
    One can't be absolutely certain of such a thing but there is really no prima facie reason to think so. As an example, there are more than 10,000! charities in the USA with the word "hope' in their name/s. Is there any reason to think that one is affiliated with another absent other evidence? Of course with 'tikvah' we are dealing with a vastly smaller universe of charities but the principle is the same. Furthermore, there are several reasons why a relationship between Tikvah and Tikvah Hadasha is unlikely.

    1 - While Tikvah is not exactly an Orthodox institution, it does have an Orthodox-leaning bias ( It was conceived of and endowed by the late Sanford Bernstein who was a mid-life returnee to Orthodox Judaism) and the dubious halachic status of the Abayudaya would make Tikvah Hadasha an unlikely beneficiary of Tikvah largesse.

    2 - Tikvah is very West/ White collar/ Academic focused. This kind of retail, hands dirty, dealing with live chickens kind of work is really not their thing.

    3 - Conversely, slicksters that they are, if they were funding this, they would be trumpeting it from the rooftops to demonstrate their 'inclusivity' etc., etc. You would search their annual report in vain for any mention of this or similar programs
    https://tikvahfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Tikvah_2024_web.pdf

    In summation, while one can't be completely positive, I find it extremely unlikely that the two entities have any relationship other than a similar name.

    Nah, these are completely different organizations. McKinney's organization is Tikvah Hadasha (Tikvah means hope, hence New Hope.) It's a mom and pop shop in Uganda

    This is blurb from website of Tifereth Israel synagogue (Conservative shul, LGBT friendly blah blah etc.) in San Diego where she was scholar in residence once.

    "Shoshana McKinney is the executive director of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda, a community-based non-profit organization she founded with her Ugandan Jewish husband. Like many of you, Shoshana was born and raised in Southern California. She is a religious Jewish mom and stepmom living in Uganda full-time since 2021.

    The mission of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda is to permanently eliminate grinding poverty through providing opportunities to earn a livelihood. The organization creates, equips and stocks sustainable chicken farms for poor Jewish women who are trained with the knowledge to leave day labor in the vegetable fields behind. Tikvah Chadasha Uganda also breaks down barriers to education for disabled children in Uganda in many ways; these include providing crutches, wheelchairs and sign language training to hearing parents and teachers of deaf children."
     

    Her husband is evidently 'abayudaya' or something similar (Not exactly but sort of Ugandan version of Ethiopian Falash-Mura ).

The British put in a very good and fair system of laws there and after independence it was left largely in place and some think this may account for the more civilized behavior of these folks.

    This is very much true - even IQ can change rapidly (e.g. South Korea where IQ went up by 7.7 per decade for two decades of birth cohorts, but even in that case, bulk of the gains was among the downscale; the upscale portion didn't change).

    Even though most American blacks descend from the West African stock, that doesn't mean there has been no selection effect operating on the former.

    Moreover, blacks coexisting in societies with whites and Asians are always* going to experience problems competing cognitively with the latter, which inevitably results in resentment and demand for "equity." So, there will be what I call "oppositional culture" that will make the presence of large number of blacks in non-black societies highly problematic to say the least.

    "Safe and effective" implies a context -- as in "safe and effective COMPARED TO...". So if we take HCQ, which the truthers assured us is very safe and effective, it is actually neither, when it comes to COVID but it is assuredly a lot more safe and effective than dealing with malaria. So that's how the label got attached to the drug, at which point the truthers mistakenly assumed it applied everywhere.

    The whole point of vaccines is to give you a smaller, more manageable exposure to the virus (or something so close to that virus that the antibodies produced work against both). So spike proteins from the vaccine can cause, e.g., myocarditis -- but the likelihood is about seven times less than what one would experience with the virus itself. The vaccine also gives you flu-like symptoms for a day or so, and can mess with menstrual cycles, and such, but again, it does all that to a far lesser extent than COVID itself. So relative to the virus, the vaccine is indeed safe and effective.

    As for long COVID, the vaccine reduces the likelihood of that by by a factor of 2-4, depending on the study. I'm not sure to what extent the vaccines can cause symptoms of long COVID, but even there, I expect you're better off with that than the virus itself.

    Could be a lot to this. The United States was a world leader when it was able to develop in the second phase of the industrial revolution and had almost unlimited natural resources and land.

    With the construction of the interstate road system from the 1960s onwards, the United States was able to develop and expand based on the idea that everybody had a car, every store and every restaurant had a parking lot, and the United States practically invented suburbia in which every freestanding house stood in the center of a lot, usually with a lawn made of super green grass.

    But now many countries that were left behind have skipped over the interstate highway, parking lot, and suburbia age.

    Now that natural resources are running out and pollution is a major issue, and the internet is everywhere, densely populated historic cities are coming back, and quick clean and fast public transportation is developing much faster than in the United States, which has boxed itself into a corner.

    This may not be the case in all parts of Africa, but any place where you have internet communications or satellite dishes, you can build your own enclave and live well on an income which might only be in the middle range in the United States. Part of the reason for this is that almost everywhere else healthcare is much, much cheaper.

    Next, the researchers separately compared the rates of myocarditis in those who received the vaccines to those in unvaccinated individuals. According to the findings, the rates of myocarditis in people who were vaccinated against COVID-19 were only twofold higher than in unvaccinated people.
     
    They could figure out everything they needed to know about the vax if they would just match up individual health records with vax records and see if -- all else being equal (and that's the key) -- the vax was a net benefit or harm to outcomes.

    “Safe” is not the same as “effective”, no matter how much Covid Inc. conflated the concepts to avoid having to argue either issue. Is chicken soup safe? Is it effective?

    The efficacy/inefficacy of HCQ for Covid has nothing to with its efficacy for malaria, despite your non sequitur. The SAFETY of HCQ and ivermectin FOR HUMANS has been proven for many decades, despite the Left’s unwarranted assumption that Covid somehow changed that, with no evidence. Their sudden insistence that ivermectin could only be used for equine heart worm was equally novel and unsupported

    The conflation of safety with effectiveness was a useful way to short circuit counter arguments in favor of HCQ and ivermectin, as were Anderson Cooper’s stern visage and penetrating gaze also very persuasive, but his repeated concern trolling about them not being “safe for Covid”was a tell that he was actually worried about the safety of Covid, not the safety of humans who might be harmed by either the virus or the jab

    To the extent I implied anything, it was that the person in question was not your garden-variety black person (or even a garden-variety upper middle class black person) returning to Mother Africa, but rather a Jewish or Jewish convert married to the same working for a Jewish non-profit in Uganda – a highly unusual circumstance.

    Indeed, the Jewish Federation of San Diego explains thusly: https://www.jewishinsandiego.org/san-diego-jewish-community-calendar/shoshana-mckinney-of-tikvah-uganda-scholar-in-residence-at-tifereth-israel-1688903068/

    Shoshana McKinney is the executive director of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda, a community-based non-profit organization she founded with her Ugandan Jewish husband. Like many of you, Shoshana was born and raised in Southern California. She is a religious Jewish mom and stepmom living in Uganda full-time since 2021.

    The mission of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda is to permanently eliminate grinding poverty through providing opportunities to earn a livelihood. The organization creates, equips and stocks sustainable chicken farms for poor Jewish women who are trained with the knowledge to leave day labor in the vegetable fields behind. Tikvah Chadasha Uganda also breaks down barriers to education for disabled children in Uganda in many ways; these include providing crutches, wheelchairs and sign language training to hearing parents and teachers of deaf children.

    Watch this powerful video to learn more about the Women’s Program:

    Shoshana is excited to share aspects of the beautiful culture of this community called Abayudaya translated as the People of Juda. She will be speaking about the history of Judaism in Uganda, her experiences with the community, and how you can get involved. Shoshana will be teaching Ugandan melodies and drumming and answering your questions. She’s looking forward to getting to know you all and to see you there!

    Friend her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/shoshana.mckinney?mibextid=ZbWKwL

    My erroneous attribution to a wrong Jewish charity earlier doesn’t change the original point.

    It makes no difference - Judaism is ALL one BIG conspiracy. After Kaganovitch showed that the 2 organizations just share the name "Tikvah" , Twinkie asked him to PROVE that they were not related anyway.

    Tikvah means hope - the Israeli national anthem is entitled HaTikvah - The Hope. It's about the hope of the Jews to have their own nation again. To name your charity Hope Something or Something Hope ("Project Hope", etc.) is not a big reach.

    When I put "hope" into Charity Navigator, it spits out 10,000+ results. I'd like Twinkie to PROVE that all 10,000 of these charities are not related to each other.

    There are also 60 charities with Tikvah in their name:

    Larger charities often provide grants and seed money to smaller (“mom-and-pop”) charities, especially overseas (or in geographic regions where they themselves do not operate). The chance that some among the 60 Jewish charities have something in common more than the name is a lot higher than the chance that “all 10,000” charities do (I am reasonably sure, though, that some among that 10,000 are related in some way).

    And, again, what is this “conspiracy” nonsense? What conspiracy did I claim here?

    Yes, I made a mistake and I was too hasty in attributing the woman’s employer to a different Jewish non-profit. I don’t have a problem admitting so – indeed I am grateful to commenter “kaganovich” for correcting me here.

    You crowing about my error is rather rich, considering that dozens (and probably more) of your assertions have been contradicted over the years and not once have you acknowledged or admitted so. You just disappear, reappear on other threads and repeat the same stuff. Recently, you even went as far as to fudge/make up numbers/compare across different categories to make Jewish support for the left seem less egregious than is actually the case. Just because you have dishonest motives and deceptive methods, don’t project those tendencies onto others.

    I've spent time in West Africa. Away from tourist zones (where I'v seen a trinket dealer get American college girls to buy his junk by accusing them of racism), people are quite decent and friendly. I lived in a lower-class urban neighborhood without fear (because the community vigilantly watches and deters wrongdoers). Most people are regulated by close family, village or neighborhood, clan, and by one or another ancient Islam sect (not Saudi). Some people drink, but the Islamic prohibition means that most people don't, and that helps. People also differ by ethnic group, sometimes considerably, one group being renowned for lazy men, another for skill at commerce, or for religious piety, and so on. They love to joke about each other's ethnicity (like Americans did in the 1950s).

    Most do not have a chip-on-the-shoulder attitude towards whites. The few that do are in the intelligentsia. Africans are black in a black country, and that makes for confidence. An African-American in America, in the absence of any bad vibrations, still may feel uncomfortable surrounded by whites; and feel more relaxed in an all-black country.

    The middle-class African-Americans going to Africa I suppose are peaceful and prosperous. But West Africans despise American black feral culture and people. Africans do not celebrate or excuse murder, robbery, rape. I was at a street market that suddenly exploded in cries of Thief! Thief! A crowd of stall owners and customers chased him down, beat him bloody, and left him half-dead on the pavement.

    The experience tells me that a lot of the problem in the U.S. is cultural, and culture can be changed. Sadly, discussion of positive cultural change is prohibited now and for the indefinite future.

    This is very much true – even IQ can change rapidly (e.g. South Korea where IQ went up by 7.7 per decade for two decades of birth cohorts, but even in that case, bulk of the gains was among the downscale; the upscale portion didn’t change).

    Even though most American blacks descend from the West African stock, that doesn’t mean there has been no selection effect operating on the former.

    Moreover, blacks coexisting in societies with whites and Asians are always* going to experience problems competing cognitively with the latter, which inevitably results in resentment and demand for “equity.” So, there will be what I call “oppositional culture” that will make the presence of large number of blacks in non-black societies highly problematic to say the least.

    *Unless there is a radically different comparative selection operating in mixed societies going forward.

    Been studying the Flynn Effect forever. I'm probably an expert on it by now. In fact, I used to send my articles on it to Jim Flynn himself to look over and critique, as Jim was an acquaintance of mine. I've been studying the US versus African Black IQ issue forever, and I am absolutely certain that there has been a strong rise in Black IQ here in the US. Black IQ in the US is ~85.

    In Africa and the Caribbean it is ~70. Black Americans probably had 70 IQ's when they showed up. I'm not sure when they started rising, but studies of skulls show that both Whites and Blacks have been selecting for more progressive skull features since Revolutionary times. That would mean selection for less prognathism for instance.

    In fact, Black and White skulls are converging such that we look more like present day Blacks than we look like our Revolutionary ancestors! Whites of 1776 were much more prognathous than Whites of today, believe it or not. Same with Blacks. They look more like us than they like their revolutionary ancestors. Maybe the convergence is some sort of "future man." I am thinking the convergence is towards a "neotenous" human.

    Most of the Black change towards progressive skull features occurred after the Civil War in the First Liberation of the Blacks. With this Liberation, Blacks could now work in professions and make some money. Perhaps women were selecting more for men who made money as they had higher IQ's. And progressive features and IQ tend to be linked. There also may have been an effect towards men selecting women with Whiter, more progressive features, as we know well that they do that even now. Why they didn't select for this in slave days is not known.

    It's well known that the 15 point rise cannot be explained by the 25% White genes US Blacks have. That only accounts for half of it. So that leavers 7-8 points unexplained. There may also have been epigenetic effects. The effects were not environmentally based and in Blacks did not seem to be fully explained by White admixture. Instead it appeared to be an effect of genetic selection.

    Blacks here in the US, as much as they bitch, have benefited in many ways from living here. A full 15 point IQ gain is nothing to shake a stick at. US Blacks are the largest most intelligent and accomplished Blacks on Earth. They cry all the time, but maybe they should be proud of this. Also they have become dramatically more civilized culturally via 300 years exposure to White Christian culture. When they first came here, many were little more than animals.

    Consider Israel to be Western Civilization's reparations award to the Jewish people. Germany expressly acknowledges this and has paid billions in reparations to Israel.

    Now, the Palestinians might object and say that Israel was not England's or the UN's to give in the 1st place. Legally it was the land of the defunct Ottoman Empire so it didn't belong to the Palestinians either (they never had their own country). The part that the British gave to the Hashemite kings (today called Jordan) was not theirs to give either (nor was it the Hashemites - the hereditary rules of Saudi Arabia - Jordan was a consolation prize), nor for that matter were any of the countries constructed by the victors out of the land of the defeated powers of WWI and WWII, so Israel's claim is no better or worse than a lot of other countries that no one questions, only Israel.

    Ultimately Israel exists and will exist because Israelis are willing to defend it with their lives. The UN Partition and everything else would have meant (and still mean) nothing unless Israel defended itself from attack and that is what it is doing in Gaza right now. The situation in Gaza, where Hamas would periodically bombard Israel with rockets, was already insane BEFORE Oct. 7, but the Israelis put up with it as the best of the alternatives, all of which were bad. But after Oct. 7 it reached its logical culmination (not only rocket attacks but physical invasion) and became TRULY intolerable. No sovereign country can tolerate such attacks without a definitive response and continue to exist as a nation.

    "But it is funny that you believe natural spike proteins can cause long term effects but that human-induce spike protein infection is 'safe and effective.'”.

    "Safe and effective" implies a context -- as in "safe and effective COMPARED TO...". So if we take HCQ, which the truthers assured us is very safe and effective, it is actually neither, when it comes to COVID but it is assuredly a lot more safe and effective than dealing with malaria. So that's how the label got attached to the drug, at which point the truthers mistakenly assumed it applied everywhere.

    The whole point of vaccines is to give you a smaller, more manageable exposure to the virus (or something so close to that virus that the antibodies produced work against both). So spike proteins from the vaccine can cause, e.g., myocarditis -- but the likelihood is about seven times less than what one would experience with the virus itself. The vaccine also gives you flu-like symptoms for a day or so, and can mess with menstrual cycles, and such, but again, it does all that to a far lesser extent than COVID itself. So relative to the virus, the vaccine is indeed safe and effective.

    As for long COVID, the vaccine reduces the likelihood of that by by a factor of 2-4, depending on the study. I'm not sure to what extent the vaccines can cause symptoms of long COVID, but even there, I expect you're better off with that than the virus itself.

    If you want to be really safe, get an extra long conference table and some body doubles to handle travels beyond your fortress -- like your boy in Moscow.

    How about compared to doing nothing. From your study . . .

    Next, the researchers separately compared the rates of myocarditis in those who received the vaccines to those in unvaccinated individuals. According to the findings, the rates of myocarditis in people who were vaccinated against COVID-19 were only twofold higher than in unvaccinated people.

    They could figure out everything they needed to know about the vax if they would just match up individual health records with vax records and see if — all else being equal (and that’s the key) — the vax was a net benefit or harm to outcomes.

    The story of the hostility of northerners to migrating freed slaves
     
    ...is basic common sense. Slaves have no place in a free republic. Or a free monarchy, for that matter.

    As for buying off the planters, with what? Weren't they already the richest men in the land? The ratio of slave to free man was five to ten times higher in the US than in the British Empire-- and their slaves were already abroad. (There were thousands of black servants in England in the 19th century, but under arrangements other than ownership.)

    “…is basic common sense. Slaves have no place in a free republic. Or a free monarchy, for that matter.”

    The hostility in the North was more ethnic, crime concerns and competing labor. The topic is covered at http://slavenorth.com/. This is an extensive database, you may need to do some searching. Northerners never viewed freed blacks as anything but an unwanted nuisance. No doubt some objected on philosophical grounds that you suggest, but the majority didn’t want or like Blacks generally.

    The British population had the same concerns. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/2020/06/27/british-founding-sierra-leone-slave-trade/

    “In 1772, a large number of slaves brought to England to work in domestic households were liberated, largely from the homes of absentee British plantation owners in the Caribbean. They were termed London’s ‘Black Poor’, along with African-Americans who served the British Army in the American Revolution (Black Loyalists), living in London in difficult conditions. Although no reliable data exists, it seems that around 15,000 black people were living at the time in Britain.”

    “In 1786, the Committee for the Relief of the Black Poor proposed a scheme for repatriation to a territory in Africa where they could be free and govern themselves. High hopes were set, and the British Treasury fronted the project and provided other materials such as clothes, tools and weapons for the settlers. Though the effort received official support from the British authorities, the reasons impelling it were probably a ‘poisonous combination of hypocrisy and bigotry’. Accordingly, the objective was to rid Britain of black people, as they were seen as a threat to the purity of the white race.”

    Note the PC explanation. Blacks in London had become criminals and a social burden.

    You ask: “As for buying off the planters, with what?”

    A large plantation was established in Alabama by a wealthy southern family called Hopewell that were also officers of the ACS where slaves could earn income in exchange for labor that could be used to finance resettlement to Liberia. The first black immigrants from the US were associated with Hopewell. Further it is a fiction that slaves never earned money. Many did as incentives for high level skills. Many earned their freedom this way. Jefferson Davis had a slave who acquired a patent on an invention that provided money with which freedom could be purchased. Much home construction was performed by skilled slaves who earned income. Not all slaves were cotton pickers.

    Bernard Lewis wrote of Arab “infiltration” into Gaza even before Mohammed’s time. The Great Mosque of Gaza started out as a Byzantine church, was captured by the Moslems, recaptured by the Crusaders for a short time, then destroyed and rebuilt as a mosque. The Church of St Porphirius also dates to the fifth century (AD!!), and was also Islamicized for a time, but is back to her roots today. It is of course Orthodox. So there has been a lot of back-and-forth over the years.

    There is also a small Roman Catholic parish in Gaza, Holy Family. Both this and St Porphyrius are under their respective churches’ Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

    I agree that "my genocide was bigger than yours" is a stupid game - who wants to win that dubious prize? But I think it's safe to say that the genocide of the Jews in Europe was AMONG the biggest ones of the 20th century and that there is nothing going on that merits that name in Gaza right now.

    If you really want to quibble, some of these other events are not entirely comparable. For example, even though Stalin killed a lot of Ukrainians, there were a lot left over, enough to still form a country. However, by the time Hitler got done, you could go from one end of Poland to the other and not meet a single Jew. And keep in mind that the big cities of Poland were 30% or more Jewish before the war. Imagine Detroit or New Orleans without a single black person being left. Nor was this population just displaced like the Greek community of Turkey - they were mostly murdered. The Armenian genocide was bad but the numbers involved were a lot smaller. And the Holocaust had unique features such as the construction of death factories not found in others. Again, it's stupid to argue that you are #1 in being holocausted but when you add up all the factors it's certainly up there among the worst.

    "There were thousands of black servants in England in the 19th century, but under arrangements other than ownership.)"

    Ok, some of this is total bullshit. The chimney sweepers, factory workers were more or less owned by the capitalists of the time. The UK had its own exploitation of workers problems.

    That's why Parliament finally passed laws vs this kind of worker exploitation. It's why the Labour Party in the early 20th century got off the ground and post WW2, gave the nation Clement Atlee.

    Robbers breaking into your house and killing some members of your family, doesn’t improve your moral standing.

    Consider Israel to be Western Civilization's reparations award to the Jewish people. Germany expressly acknowledges this and has paid billions in reparations to Israel.

    Now, the Palestinians might object and say that Israel was not England's or the UN's to give in the 1st place. Legally it was the land of the defunct Ottoman Empire so it didn't belong to the Palestinians either (they never had their own country). The part that the British gave to the Hashemite kings (today called Jordan) was not theirs to give either (nor was it the Hashemites - the hereditary rules of Saudi Arabia - Jordan was a consolation prize), nor for that matter were any of the countries constructed by the victors out of the land of the defeated powers of WWI and WWII, so Israel's claim is no better or worse than a lot of other countries that no one questions, only Israel.

    Ultimately Israel exists and will exist because Israelis are willing to defend it with their lives. The UN Partition and everything else would have meant (and still mean) nothing unless Israel defended itself from attack and that is what it is doing in Gaza right now. The situation in Gaza, where Hamas would periodically bombard Israel with rockets, was already insane BEFORE Oct. 7, but the Israelis put up with it as the best of the alternatives, all of which were bad. But after Oct. 7 it reached its logical culmination (not only rocket attacks but physical invasion) and became TRULY intolerable. No sovereign country can tolerate such attacks without a definitive response and continue to exist as a nation.

    She’s the Executive Director of Tikvah Foundation Uganda according to the LinkedIn profile. What is Tikvah?

    https://tikvahfund.org/
     

    Nah, these are completely different organizations. McKinney's organization is Tikvah Hadasha (Tikvah means hope, hence New Hope.) It's a mom and pop shop in Uganda

    This is blurb from website of Tifereth Israel synagogue (Conservative shul, LGBT friendly blah blah etc.) in San Diego where she was scholar in residence once.

    "Shoshana McKinney is the executive director of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda, a community-based non-profit organization she founded with her Ugandan Jewish husband. Like many of you, Shoshana was born and raised in Southern California. She is a religious Jewish mom and stepmom living in Uganda full-time since 2021.

    The mission of Tikvah Chadasha Uganda is to permanently eliminate grinding poverty through providing opportunities to earn a livelihood. The organization creates, equips and stocks sustainable chicken farms for poor Jewish women who are trained with the knowledge to leave day labor in the vegetable fields behind. Tikvah Chadasha Uganda also breaks down barriers to education for disabled children in Uganda in many ways; these include providing crutches, wheelchairs and sign language training to hearing parents and teachers of deaf children."
     

    Her husband is evidently 'abayudaya' or something similar (Not exactly but sort of Ugandan version of Ethiopian Falash-Mura ). Tikvah Fund on the other hand is super slick high powered Jewish philanthropy org. with lots of resources , A-list donors etc. The 2 organizations share little in common outside the word tikvah.

    From the original article:


    Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba, who is Jewish, said that when she moved to Uganda to join her husband, Israel Kirya, she went from being “a minority within a minority” to being surrounded by those who share her race and faith. Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba, who worked for a commercial real estate company in Texas, now runs Tikvah Chadasha Foundation, a nonprofit supporting Ugandan women and disabled children. She and her husband live in Mbale, a small city that is home to the Abayudaya Jewish community, which has about 2,000 members.

    In the United States, Mrs. Kirya-Ziraba said, her identity came with qualifications: “Other Black people try to qualify my Blackness because I’m Jewish, and other Jews try to qualify my Judaism because I’m Black.”
     
    Looking up “Abayudaya” one finds a Wikipedia entry for them:

    The Abayudaya (Abayudaya is Luganda for "People of Judah") are a Jewish community in eastern Uganda, near the town of Mbale. They are devout in their practice, keeping kashrut and observing Shabbat.

    There are several different villages where the Abayudaya live. A community that converted to Judaism in the 20th century, most community members are affiliated with the Reform and Conservative movements of Judaism. In June 2016, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin led a Beit Din that performed an Orthodox conversion for the Putti community of Abayudaya.

    The experience tells me that a lot of the problem in the U.S. is cultural, and culture can be changed.
     
    This is very much true - even IQ can change rapidly (e.g. South Korea where IQ went up by 7.7 per decade for two decades of birth cohorts, but even in that case, bulk of the gains was among the downscale; the upscale portion didn't change).

    Even though most American blacks descend from the West African stock, that doesn't mean there has been no selection effect operating on the former.

    Moreover, blacks coexisting in societies with whites and Asians are always* going to experience problems competing cognitively with the latter, which inevitably results in resentment and demand for "equity." So, there will be what I call "oppositional culture" that will make the presence of large number of blacks in non-black societies highly problematic to say the least.

    Israel was founded without America's help. Prior to the 1970s, Israel's main military supplier was France and they got a lot of economic assistance from Germany. Essentially nothing from the US government. Israel's nuclear program exists as a result of French help. (Then at some point de Gaulle changed his mind and soured on Israel.)

    The US gov. only got involved as a result of Cold War politics. The Soviets began backing the Arabs (Egypt and Syria) strongly and so we had to counter them according to Cold War logic.

    Fast forward to today. Israel is a major weapons producer and has a strong economy. It receives some military assistance from the US but if this were to stop, it would change nothing.

    The Jews aren't leaving. Quit your idiotic fantasies. These are precisely the fantasies that have gotten so many Gazans killed. The Palestinians and you have to accept that Israel is not going away, that it is not going to be defeated militarily by them and that any attempt to make them go away is only going to result in more suffering of the Palestinians.

    If Hamas had accepted that they could have spent the last couple of decades building infrastructure and an economic base instead of tunnels and rockets and the people of Gaza would have been infinitely better off.

    No problem!

    FWIW, before the gigantic October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, some right-wing Israeli Jewish jackass politicians wanted to repeal or at least amend the Grandchild Clause of Israel's Law of Return, thus preventing people with Jewish grandfathers but without Jewish grandmothers from immigrating to Israel. These plans of theirs appear to have been indefinitely postponed as a result of October 7. I just hope that these plans of theirs will never get revived.

    It would be at the height of repulsiveness to allow people with a single Jewish grandmother and three gentile grandparents to immigrate to Israel even if they spent their entire lives identifying as gentiles but not to allow people with one or two Jewish grandfathers but no Jewish grandmothers to likewise immigrate to Israel.

    , @Curle
    @The Alarmist

    You are confusing your timeline.

    Carpet baggers came after the war and the repatriation exercise began long before the war at a time when there were still slaves in the North. These were slaves that northern states such as Illinois ensured were purchased by southerners as opposed to liberation in state or elsewhere. The relevant law prohibited selling anything less than all of one’s slaves. In other words, the law disincentivized giving Illinois slaves their freedom unless one was willing to take a bath on all of their slave property. Few enough in either the North or the South were willing or able to do so because slaves constituted collateral for loans.

    That few could dispose of their slave collateral helps explain the genesis of the earned freedom program at Hopewell in Alabama.

    The majority of Northerners, to the extent they thought about slaves at all and didn’t own any, were interested in seeing slaves relocated out of their states but they made no greater effort to pay to remove them than did southerners. Maybe less. And when they did dispose of them they tended to keep them enslaved by selling them to southerners. In other words, many southern slaves were the issue of former northern slaves or were the relocated slaves themselves.

    Israel's air force staged a raid on Baghdad in 1981 (demolishing a power plant) and one on Tunis in 1985 (demolishing the PLO HQ, not a Tunisian asset); they've had occasional dogfights with the Syrian air force. Otherwise, they haven't been at war with an Arab state in 50 years. The last occasion was in 1973, when they were attacked by Egypt and Syria. The time prior to that was in 1969/70, because Egypt wished to amuse itself firing artillery at Israeli forces. The time prior to that was in 1967, when Egypt ordered UN buffer forces out of the Sinai, closed the Straits of Tiran, set up a makeshift 'alliance' with Syria and Jordan, and moved its troops to the border. It's not that difficult to avoid being invaded by Israel.

    All of Israel's violent conflicts over 50 years have been with paramilitaries, which actually would largely evaporate if Iran, various Arab states, and the UNRWA quit supplying them. One set of paramilitaries is ensconced in Lebanon. All they have to do to avoid armed conflict with Israel is to quit sending artillery shells and kidnappers over the border. Ditto the other two sets, which have, by the way, been on five separate occasions been offered amended institutional arrangements and twice been offered an Arab state on the West Bank and Gaza. They don't have their state because they did not want that. They want dead Jews. For some strange reason, the Jews are unwilling to co-operate with that.

    https://globalaffairs.org/bluemarble/how-us-has-used-its-power-un-support-israel-decades

    The U.S. has vetoed resolutions critical of Israel more than any other council member – 45 times as of December 18, 2023, according to an analysis by Blue Marble. The U.S. has vetoed 89 Security Council resolutions in total since 1945, meaning slightly over half of its vetoes have been used on resolutions critical of Israel. Of the vetoed resolutions, 33 pertained to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories or the country’s treatment of the Palestinian people.

    The first time the U.S. used its veto to support Israel was in September of 1972, when it vetoed a resolution that called on Israel to cease its aggression in Lebanon. This was the second time the U.S. had ever used its Security Council veto; the first was on a resolution regarding Southern Rhodesia.
     
    It is interesting how before 1972 excessive use of the Security Council veto was seen as a Soviet evil.

    The veto was used sparingly until 1972

    Before 1972, most permanent council members used their veto power sparingly. The U.K. used its veto five times, France used its four times, and the U.S. and China used theirs once each. Russia (which was the Soviet Union at the time), on the other hand, used its veto power 109 times between 1946 and 1971. That means in those 25 years, Russia used its veto an average of more than four times every year – more than the U.S. or China used in the entirety of the same period.

I read the breakdown of the IQ by either educational or income cohorts sometime ago and the top cohort didn’t change at all, middle changed slightly, and the bottom tier was where most of the gain was.

    If the land didn’t belong to the Palestinians who have always been there, it sure doesn’t belong to Jews from Europe and elsewhere.

    I worked on a “founder’s kibbutz” in the northern Galilee, and once found a bunch of pottery and debris while digging holes for citrus trees. I though it could be old artifacts, but the Israelis casually stated that we were digging in the ruins of an old Arab village. All of those early kibbutzim are built on the ruins of Arab towns and villages. The Israelis don’t deny that.

    And foreign Jews bought very little of the land that was taken from the Palestinians.

    The U.S. has vetoed resolutions critical of Israel more than any other council member – 45 times as of December 18, 2023, according to an analysis by Blue Marble. The U.S. has vetoed 89 Security Council resolutions in total since 1945, meaning slightly over half of its vetoes have been used on resolutions critical of Israel. Of the vetoed resolutions, 33 pertained to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories or the country’s treatment of the Palestinian people.

    The first time the U.S. used its veto to support Israel was in September of 1972, when it vetoed a resolution that called on Israel to cease its aggression in Lebanon. This was the second time the U.S. had ever used its Security Council veto; the first was on a resolution regarding Southern Rhodesia.

    It is interesting how before 1972 excessive use of the Security Council veto was seen as a Soviet evil.

    The veto was used sparingly until 1972

    Before 1972, most permanent council members used their veto power sparingly. The U.K. used its veto five times, France used its four times, and the U.S. and China used theirs once each. Russia (which was the Soviet Union at the time), on the other hand, used its veto power 109 times between 1946 and 1971. That means in those 25 years, Russia used its veto an average of more than four times every year – more than the U.S. or China used in the entirety of the same period.

    This extreme Semitophilism from Angloid goyim is weird. Israeli politicians would sacrifice your money and your children without hesitation. The Saudis are very similar. Absolute sense of entitlement.

    This goes beyond cold calculation. Certainly, Putin or President Xie don't have our best interests at heart, but I doubt they operate with the sense of absolute certainty that American lives and money are theirs to command.

    Not blaming Netanyahu or the Saudis, it's in their nature. The blame lies entirely on Angloids who are excessive in their support and infatuation of the Israeli state for whatever reason: Dispensationalist heresy, misplaced nationalism, American century nostalgia, neoconservatism. It's ok to not like Sunni Islamists and want to kill them and still think Israel is evil here.

    These slavish Semitophile sorts, you included, bear the blame for every penny we send driving up our debt and inflation and every action the Israelis take. Every toddler in Gaza who dies in pain and misery is a weight on your soul. God is just. Think about that.

These plans of theirs appear to have been indefinitely postponed as a result of October 7. I just hope that these plans of theirs will never get revived.

    It would be at the height of repulsiveness to allow people with a single Jewish grandmother and three gentile grandparents to immigrate to Israel even if they spent their entire lives identifying as gentiles but not to allow people with one or two Jewish grandfathers but no Jewish grandmothers to likewise immigrate to Israel.

This is being done intentionally in order to blur actual genocides (such as that committed against the Jews) from fake ones so as to deprive Israelis of their moral standing as the chief victims of genocide (by white Europeans), upon which the legitimacy of the state of Israel rests in part.

    I can understand that people are unhappy with the level of civilian casualties in Gaza (although 600,000 dead in Syria didn't seem to bother them much) but calling that a "genocide" is just a propagandistic lie. A genocide is a specific thing and this ain't it. There are billions of Muslims and millions in Gaza and they are in no danger of being exterminated.

    Europeans are in much greater danger due to lack of fertility. The Gaza fertility rate is 3.38, well above replacement. In Greece it is 1.34, well below. We will run out of Greeks long before we run out of Gazans. Even with the current war, more Gazans are being born than are dying so their population is only going up.

    Hamas accused Israel of bombing a hospital in the opening days of the war. Video evidence showed that a rocket fired from Gaza fell short and landed in a hospital parking lot. Hamas has been lying about this, claiming 500 dead, when in fact no one died and in any case they fired the rocket.

    The experience tells me that a lot of the problem in the U.S. is cultural, and culture can be changed.
     
    This is very much true - even IQ can change rapidly (e.g. South Korea where IQ went up by 7.7 per decade for two decades of birth cohorts, but even in that case, bulk of the gains was among the downscale; the upscale portion didn't change).

    Even though most American blacks descend from the West African stock, that doesn't mean there has been no selection effect operating on the former.

    Moreover, blacks coexisting in societies with whites and Asians are always* going to experience problems competing cognitively with the latter, which inevitably results in resentment and demand for "equity." So, there will be what I call "oppositional culture" that will make the presence of large number of blacks in non-black societies highly problematic to say the least.

    Even though most American blacks descend from the West African stock, that doesn’t mean there has been no selection effect operating on the former.

    Been studying the Flynn Effect forever. I’m probably an expert on it by now. In fact, I used to send my articles on it to Jim Flynn himself to look over and critique, as Jim was an acquaintance of mine. I’ve been studying the US versus African Black IQ issue forever, and I am absolutely certain that there has been a strong rise in Black IQ here in the US. Black IQ in the US is ~85.

    In Africa and the Caribbean it is ~70. Black Americans probably had 70 IQ’s when they showed up. I’m not sure when they started rising, but studies of skulls show that both Whites and Blacks have been selecting for more progressive skull features since Revolutionary times. That would mean selection for less prognathism for instance.

    In fact, Black and White skulls are converging such that we look more like present day Blacks than we look like our Revolutionary ancestors! Whites of 1776 were much more prognathous than Whites of today, believe it or not. Same with Blacks. They look more like us than they like their revolutionary ancestors. Maybe the convergence is some sort of “future man.” I am thinking the convergence is towards a “neotenous” human.

    Most of the Black change towards progressive skull features occurred after the Civil War in the First Liberation of the Blacks. With this Liberation, Blacks could now work in professions and make some money. Perhaps women were selecting more for men who made money as they had higher IQ’s. And progressive features and IQ tend to be linked. There also may have been an effect towards men selecting women with Whiter, more progressive features, as we know well that they do that even now. Why they didn’t select for this in slave days is not known.

    It’s well known that the 15 point rise cannot be explained by the 25% White genes US Blacks have. That only accounts for half of it. So that leavers 7-8 points unexplained. There may also have been epigenetic effects. The effects were not environmentally based and in Blacks did not seem to be fully explained by White admixture. Instead it appeared to be an effect of genetic selection.

    Blacks here in the US, as much as they bitch, have benefited in many ways from living here. A full 15 point IQ gain is nothing to shake a stick at. US Blacks are the largest most intelligent and accomplished Blacks on Earth. They cry all the time, but maybe they should be proud of this. Also they have become dramatically more civilized culturally via 300 years exposure to White Christian culture. When they first came here, many were little more than animals.

    "But it is funny that you believe natural spike proteins can cause long term effects but that human-induce spike protein infection is 'safe and effective.'”.

    "Safe and effective" implies a context -- as in "safe and effective COMPARED TO...". So if we take HCQ, which the truthers assured us is very safe and effective, it is actually neither, when it comes to COVID but it is assuredly a lot more safe and effective than dealing with malaria. So that's how the label got attached to the drug, at which point the truthers mistakenly assumed it applied everywhere.

    The whole point of vaccines is to give you a smaller, more manageable exposure to the virus (or something so close to that virus that the antibodies produced work against both). So spike proteins from the vaccine can cause, e.g., myocarditis -- but the likelihood is about seven times less than what one would experience with the virus itself. The vaccine also gives you flu-like symptoms for a day or so, and can mess with menstrual cycles, and such, but again, it does all that to a far lesser extent than COVID itself. So relative to the virus, the vaccine is indeed safe and effective.

    As for long COVID, the vaccine reduces the likelihood of that by by a factor of 2-4, depending on the study. I'm not sure to what extent the vaccines can cause symptoms of long COVID, but even there, I expect you're better off with that than the virus itself.

    If you want to be really safe, get an extra long conference table and some body doubles to handle travels beyond your fortress -- like your boy in Moscow.

    “Safe” is not the same as “effective”, no matter how much Covid Inc. conflated the concepts to avoid having to argue either issue. Is chicken soup safe? Is it effective?

    The efficacy/inefficacy of HCQ for Covid has nothing to with its efficacy for malaria, despite your non sequitur. The SAFETY of HCQ and ivermectin FOR HUMANS has been proven for many decades, despite the Left’s unwarranted assumption that Covid somehow changed that, with no evidence. Their sudden insistence that ivermectin could only be used for equine heart worm was equally novel and unsupported

    The conflation of safety with effectiveness was a useful way to short circuit counter arguments in favor of HCQ and ivermectin, as were Anderson Cooper’s stern visage and penetrating gaze also very persuasive, but his repeated concern trolling about them not being “safe for Covid”was a tell that he was actually worried about the safety of Covid, not the safety of humans who might be harmed by either the virus or the jab

    Now, the Palestinians might object and say that Israel was not England’s or the UN’s to give in the 1st place.
     
    They're right.

    Legally it was the land of the defunct Ottoman Empire so it didn’t belong to the Palestinians either (they never had their own country).
     
    This matters to no one. Normal people feel that the land "belongs" to who is there. The Arabs think the Jews invaded and took it from them. That's basically accurate.


    Ultimately Israel exists and will exist because Israelis are willing to defend it with their lives.
     
    On this we agree. All this historical "we was robbed" stuff--like all the tired slavery and holocaust stuff--is moot. The Jews won, have built Israel, ain't giving it up and have nukes making the point extra clear.

    The experience tells me that a lot of the problem in the U.S. is cultural, and culture can be changed.
     
    This is very much true - even IQ can change rapidly (e.g. South Korea where IQ went up by 7.7 per decade for two decades of birth cohorts, but even in that case, bulk of the gains was among the downscale; the upscale portion didn't change).

    Even though most American blacks descend from the West African stock, that doesn't mean there has been no selection effect operating on the former.

    Moreover, blacks coexisting in societies with whites and Asians are always* going to experience problems competing cognitively with the latter, which inevitably results in resentment and demand for "equity." So, there will be what I call "oppositional culture" that will make the presence of large number of blacks in non-black societies highly problematic to say the least.

    *Unless there is a radically different comparative selection operating in mixed societies going forward.

    You are cheapening the word genocide. This is being done intentionally in order to blur actual genocides (such as that committed against the Jews) from fake ones so as to deprive Israelis of their moral standing as the chief victims of genocide (by white Europeans), upon which the legitimacy of the state of Israel rests in part.

    I can understand that people are unhappy with the level of civilian casualties in Gaza (although 600,000 dead in Syria didn't seem to bother them much) but calling that a "genocide" is just a propagandistic lie. A genocide is a specific thing and this ain't it. There are billions of Muslims and millions in Gaza and they are in no danger of being exterminated.

    Europeans are in much greater danger due to lack of fertility. The Gaza fertility rate is 3.38, well above replacement. In Greece it is 1.34, well below. We will run out of Greeks long before we run out of Gazans. Even with the current war, more Gazans are being born than are dying so their population is only going up.

    As to Israel surviving if we yanked her off the American teat — oh, I don’t think so.
     
    I think you are overestimating the financial aspect and underestimating the political aspect.
    https://globalaffairs.org/bluemarble/how-us-has-used-its-power-un-support-israel-decades

    The U.S. has vetoed resolutions critical of Israel more than any other council member – 45 times as of December 18, 2023, according to an analysis by Blue Marble. The U.S. has vetoed 89 Security Council resolutions in total since 1945, meaning slightly over half of its vetoes have been used on resolutions critical of Israel. Of the vetoed resolutions, 33 pertained to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories or the country’s treatment of the Palestinian people.

    The first time the U.S. used its veto to support Israel was in September of 1972, when it vetoed a resolution that called on Israel to cease its aggression in Lebanon. This was the second time the U.S. had ever used its Security Council veto; the first was on a resolution regarding Southern Rhodesia.
     
    It is interesting how before 1972 excessive use of the Security Council veto was seen as a Soviet evil.

    The veto was used sparingly until 1972

    Before 1972, most permanent council members used their veto power sparingly. The U.K. used its veto five times, France used its four times, and the U.S. and China used theirs once each. Russia (which was the Soviet Union at the time), on the other hand, used its veto power 109 times between 1946 and 1971. That means in those 25 years, Russia used its veto an average of more than four times every year – more than the U.S. or China used in the entirety of the same period.

The blame lies entirely on Angloids who are excessive in their support and infatuation of the Israeli state for whatever reason: Dispensationalist heresy, misplaced nationalism, American century nostalgia, neoconservatism.

    https://globalaffairs.org/bluemarble/how-us-has-used-its-power-un-support-israel-decades

    The U.S. has vetoed resolutions critical of Israel more than any other council member – 45 times as of December 18, 2023, according to an analysis by Blue Marble. The U.S. has vetoed 89 Security Council resolutions in total since 1945, meaning slightly over half of its vetoes have been used on resolutions critical of Israel. Of the vetoed resolutions, 33 pertained to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories or the country’s treatment of the Palestinian people.

    The first time the U.S. used its veto to support Israel was in September of 1972, when it vetoed a resolution that called on Israel to cease its aggression in Lebanon. This was the second time the U.S. had ever used its Security Council veto; the first was on a resolution regarding Southern Rhodesia.
     
    It is interesting how before 1972 excessive use of the Security Council veto was seen as a Soviet evil.

    The veto was used sparingly until 1972

    Before 1972, most permanent council members used their veto power sparingly. The U.K. used its veto five times, France used its four times, and the U.S. and China used theirs once each. Russia (which was the Soviet Union at the time), on the other hand, used its veto power 109 times between 1946 and 1971. That means in those 25 years, Russia used its veto an average of more than four times every year – more than the U.S. or China used in the entirety of the same period.

    "Satisfactory"

    Art Deco, If the soldiers of any other country behaved the way Israelis did. If the leaders of any country made public statements like Israel's have, would you call them "satisfactory."

    This extreme Semitophilism from Angloid goyim is weird. Israeli politicians would sacrifice your money and your children without hesitation. The Saudis are very similar. Absolute sense of entitlement.

    This goes beyond cold calculation. Certainly, Putin or President Xie don't have our best interests at heart, but I doubt they operate with the sense of absolute certainty that American lives and money are theirs to command.

    Not blaming Netanyahu or the Saudis, it's in their nature. The blame lies entirely on Angloids who are excessive in their support and infatuation of the Israeli state for whatever reason: Dispensationalist heresy, misplaced nationalism, American century nostalgia, neoconservatism. It's ok to not like Sunni Islamists and want to kill them and still think Israel is evil here.

    These slavish Semitophile sorts, you included, bear the blame for every penny we send driving up our debt and inflation and every action the Israelis take. Every toddler in Gaza who dies in pain and misery is a weight on your soul. God is just. Think about that.

    Israel was founded without America's help. Prior to the 1970s, Israel's main military supplier was France and they got a lot of economic assistance from Germany. Essentially nothing from the US government. Israel's nuclear program exists as a result of French help. (Then at some point de Gaulle changed his mind and soured on Israel.)

    The US gov. only got involved as a result of Cold War politics. The Soviets began backing the Arabs (Egypt and Syria) strongly and so we had to counter them according to Cold War logic.

    Fast forward to today. Israel is a major weapons producer and has a strong economy. It receives some military assistance from the US but if this were to stop, it would change nothing.

    The Jews aren't leaving. Quit your idiotic fantasies. These are precisely the fantasies that have gotten so many Gazans killed. The Palestinians and you have to accept that Israel is not going away, that it is not going to be defeated militarily by them and that any attempt to make them go away is only going to result in more suffering of the Palestinians.

    If Hamas had accepted that they could have spent the last couple of decades building infrastructure and an economic base instead of tunnels and rockets and the people of Gaza would have been infinitely better off. All they have to show for their tunnels and rockets is a ruined country that will take decades to rebuild and it's entirely their own fault.

    https://theweek.com/politics/israel-gaza-hamas-postwar-netanyahu-palestine

    This week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his clearest proposal for what a post-war Gaza might look like, delivering a “day after” plan to his war cabinet on Thursday. Netanyahu described a scenario in which Israel maintains indefinite military control over the compact Palestinian territory, while delegating civil authority to residents that will “not be identified with countries or entities that support terrorism and will not receive payment from them.” [Boldface mine.]

    FWIW, before the gigantic October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, some right-wing Israeli Jewish jackass politicians wanted to repeal or at least amend the Grandchild Clause of Israel's Law of Return, thus preventing people with Jewish grandfathers but without Jewish grandmothers from immigrating to Israel. These plans of theirs appear to have been indefinitely postponed as a result of October 7. I just hope that these plans of theirs will never get revived.

    It would be at the height of repulsiveness to allow people with a single Jewish grandmother and three gentile grandparents to immigrate to Israel even if they spent their entire lives identifying as gentiles but not to allow people with one or two Jewish grandfathers but no Jewish grandmothers to likewise immigrate to Israel.

    Yeah, it's quite interesting that it took an act of the Devil (Hamas) to get the Israeli right-wing to indefinitely postpone these plans of theirs. It's as if they previously had an uncontrollable urge to spit in the faces of people, including Israelis, who are of Jewish descent but not halakhically Jewish. Sparking a culture war over this specific issue, when these immigrants have integrated very well into Israeli society, would have been really, really stupid. Because the Israeli left wouldn't have simply accepted whatever the Israeli right would have done in regards to this; rather, they would have sought to reverse this and possibly more once they would have reacquired power in Israel.

    Israel's Supreme Court, meanwhile, is actually willing to stand up for those people whom the Israeli right dislikes:

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/supreme-court-rules-law-of-return-applies-to-widows-of-jews-children-and-grandkids/

    Their ruling strikes me as being perfectly sensible, IMHO. Anyone who is eligible to immigrate to Israel based on its Law of Return should be able to have his or her widow or widower immigrate to Israel after their death as well, assuming that their widow or widower have not since gotten remarried to someone else who isn't eligible to immigrate to Israel based on its Law of Return.

The relevant law prohibited selling anything less than all of one’s slaves. In other words, the law disincentivized giving Illinois slaves their freedom unless one was willing to take a bath on all of their slave property. Few enough in either the North or the South were willing or able to do so because slaves constituted collateral for loans.

    That few could dispose of their slave collateral helps explain the genesis of the earned freedom program at Hopewell in Alabama.

    The majority of Northerners, to the extent they thought about slaves at all and didn’t own any, were interested in seeing slaves relocated out of their states but they made no greater effort to pay to remove them than did southerners.

    Even if every single Jew in America was a Likkudnik, it still would not be enough numerically to control US politics. Bribing American politicians still isn’t enough. Controlling media outlets still isn’t enough. You need real commitment and slavish support from the larger society. That takes centuries to build up. It also can’t be astroturfed.

    Israel needs gentile supporters. Mostly Protestant, but also lots of Angloid or Americanized Cafeteria Catholics like Biden. Biden is as much a Proddy as he is Catholic. His father is English and German Colonial Stock. Like many, he plays the Irish-American one drop rule schtick. Mel Gibson does the same thing, but Gibson is more consistent with it in terms of his geopolitical outlook.

    It makes no difference - Judaism is ALL one BIG conspiracy. After Kaganovitch showed that the 2 organizations just share the name "Tikvah" , Twinkie asked him to PROVE that they were not related anyway.

    Tikvah means hope - the Israeli national anthem is entitled HaTikvah - The Hope. It's about the hope of the Jews to have their own nation again. To name your charity Hope Something or Something Hope ("Project Hope", etc.) is not a big reach.

    When I put "hope" into Charity Navigator, it spits out 10,000+ results. I'd like Twinkie to PROVE that all 10,000 of these charities are not related to each other.

    Even though most American blacks descend from the West African stock, that doesn’t mean there has been no selection effect operating on the former.

    Been studying the Flynn Effect forever. I'm probably an expert on it by now. In fact, I used to send my articles on it to Jim Flynn himself to look over and critique, as Jim was an acquaintance of mine. I've been studying the US versus African Black IQ issue forever, and I am absolutely certain that there has been a strong rise in Black IQ here in the US. Black IQ in the US is ~85.

    In Africa and the Caribbean it is ~70. Black Americans probably had 70 IQ's when they showed up. I'm not sure when they started rising, but studies of skulls show that both Whites and Blacks have been selecting for more progressive skull features since Revolutionary times. That would mean selection for less prognathism for instance.

    In fact, Black and White skulls are converging such that we look more like present day Blacks than we look like our Revolutionary ancestors! Whites of 1776 were much more prognathous than Whites of today, believe it or not. Same with Blacks. They look more like us than they like their revolutionary ancestors. Maybe the convergence is some sort of "future man." I am thinking the convergence is towards a "neotenous" human.

    Most of the Black change towards progressive skull features occurred after the Civil War in the First Liberation of the Blacks. With this Liberation, Blacks could now work in professions and make some money. Perhaps women were selecting more for men who made money as they had higher IQ's. And progressive features and IQ tend to be linked. There also may have been an effect towards men selecting women with Whiter, more progressive features, as we know well that they do that even now. Why they didn't select for this in slave days is not known.

    It's well known that the 15 point rise cannot be explained by the 25% White genes US Blacks have. That only accounts for half of it. So that leavers 7-8 points unexplained. There may also have been epigenetic effects. The effects were not environmentally based and in Blacks did not seem to be fully explained by White admixture. Instead it appeared to be an effect of genetic selection.

    Blacks here in the US, as much as they bitch, have benefited in many ways from living here. A full 15 point IQ gain is nothing to shake a stick at. US Blacks are the largest most intelligent and accomplished Blacks on Earth. They cry all the time, but maybe they should be proud of this. Also they have become dramatically more civilized culturally via 300 years exposure to White Christian culture. When they first came here, many were little more than animals.

    The IDF does not deliberately target civilians. Hamas has a habit of storing weapons beneath or inside schools and mosques. This way if IDF targets the weapons stores they can screech about Israel hitting schools and mosques.
     
    The jewish military may not harm schools and mosques, nor school children or worshippers. If the cannot “target” “weapons stores” without doing so, too bad. They don’t get to “target” weapons that way. The whole point of laws of war is that you don’t get to do something just because it is convenient.

    Carpet baggers came after the war and the repatriation exercise began long before the war at a time when there were still slaves in the North. These were slaves that northern states such as Illinois ensured were purchased by southerners as opposed to liberation in state or elsewhere. The relevant law prohibited selling anything less than all of one’s slaves. In other words, the law disincentivized giving Illinois slaves their freedom unless one was willing to take a bath on all of their slave property. Few enough in either the North or the South were willing or able to do so because slaves constituted collateral for loans.

    That few could dispose of their slave collateral helps explain the genesis of the earned freedom program at Hopewell in Alabama.

    The majority of Northerners, to the extent they thought about slaves at all and didn’t own any, were interested in seeing slaves relocated out of their states but they made no greater effort to pay to remove them than did southerners. Maybe less. And when they did dispose of them they tended to keep them enslaved by selling them to southerners. In other words, many southern slaves were the issue of former northern slaves or were the relocated slaves themselves.

    “The act that abolished slavery in Pennsylvania freed no slaves outright, and relics of slavery may have lingered in the state almost until the Civil War. There were 795 slaves in Pennsylvania in 1810, 211 in 1820, 403 or 386 (the count was disputed) in 1830, and 64 in 1840, the last year census worksheets in the northern states included a line for “slaves.”

    Hamas accused Israel of bombing a hospital in the opening days of the war. Video evidence showed that a rocket fired from Gaza fell short and landed in a hospital parking lot. Hamas has been lying about this, claiming 500 dead, when in fact no one died and in any case they fired the rocket.

    Ghana and Botswana are said to be the most advanced nations in black Africa.

    Ghana's a shithole. What are you talking about? I know Blacks and Whites who have both been there, and they both confirmed this. Also, it is ground zero for Internet crime from the spillover from the criminal race called "Nigerians," who are as wicked as Gypsies, another criminal race.

    What are you talking about? "Advanced" is scarcely an idea I would use for anywhere in Black Africa, but Botswana does all right, thought they are cruel to the Khoisan. The British put in a very good and fair system of laws there and after independence it was left largely in place and some think this may account for the more civilized behavior of these folks. Gabon has a very high per capita income, but it's still a shithole where 40% of the population is malnourished because the tribe or clique that runs the show of course doesn't share the wealth.
