Tribalism, Racism and Projection – Part 1
Why Do They Do What They Do?
… by Gilad Atzmon
First part of two – In this paper and the one to follow, I expose the misleading aspect that is, unfortunately, inherent to some ‘anti’ racist ideologies. I will elaborate on the role of anti racism in maintaing both Zionism and the Left discourse.
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” ― Anaïs Nin
It doesn’t take a genius to see that people who are identified as Zionist and Jews are, somehow, over represented in many blunders in today’s world affairs.
The pro-war, Neocon think-tanks were overwhelmingly saturated with Zionist Jews, and the ‘moral interventionist’ advocates within the media are also largely Zionist Jews.
The ‘brains’ behind the so-called Bush doctrine i.e. The ‘War Against Terror’, were Paul Wolfowitz and Scooter Libby.
And if that were not enough, at the heart of the financial turmoil we also find Jewish persons, and financial institutions that are clearly recognizable as Jewish – such as the Lehman Brother, Goldman Sachs, Alan Greenspan, Bernie Madoff, and many others.
Here one must ask an obvious question – why should any Jew anywhere in the world be concerned in any way with these facts? Why should any Jewish person be concerned with actions or ideas that he or she probably has nothing to do with?
Why should my Jewish neighbour, also subject to the financial turmoil and with no connection whatsoever with Madoff, Wolfowitz, David Aaronovitch or Lord ‘cash point’ Levy, be at all concerned with current financial or imperial blunders for which he has no responsibility?
Why should my Jewish musician friends who have no ties to Israel, AIPAC, CFI, CST, Nick Cohen or Alan Greenspan feel guilty for crimes or actions taken by others just because they also happen to be Jewish?
Would a Frenchman or an Irishman in America feel threatened or potentially discriminated against because of revelations that a few of their expatriates had been involved in a major colossal scandal?
Young Jews are Breaking Ranks
So, the question I raise here is a simple one: why should any Jew feel guilty for crimes that are committed by other people – people he or she does not know and is not affiliated with?
And the answer is equally simple – Jewish individuals have no reason to assume responsibility for actions committed by other Jews.
But the truth of the matter is, that many Jews are extremely concerned about the current blunders: some feel guilty, and many – potentially at least – feel threatened. I would say that such a reaction merits our attention.
Amongst my other sins, I regularly monitor the Jewish media, and it is obvious to me that Jewish institutions are put on alert by any scandal that is even mildly associated with Jewish protagonists or institutions.
Jewish media outlets give the impression that every blunder associated with a Jew is highly likely to turn itself into a wave of vile anti-semitism. We are left to wonder then whether the Jewish fear of anti-Semitism is actually justified, or whether it is simply driven by a ‘fantasy of destruction’.
In my latest book The Wandering Who I contend that Jewish fear of anti-Semitism is largely self-inflicted and has very little to do with the surrounding reality. Jews tend to regard themselves as a tribe and most Jews are subjected to a degree of cultural and racially driven indoctrination.
Zionist Settler Ladies Training to Defend Their Stolen Land
On the one hand, the religion of Judaism teaches its followers that “all of Israel are responsible for one another” (1) (Kol Yisrael areivin zeh l’zeh); while on the other hand, the non religious, secular, emancipated Jews who identify politically, ideologically and socially as Jews they also operate within Jewish ethno-centric settings.
Even within the Palestinian solidarity movement we find Jews who operate within ‘Jews only’ cells such as JBIG (Jews for Boycott Of Israeli Goods) and IJAN (International Jewish Antizionist Network).
Somehow, they also feel primarily ‘responsible for one another.’
This reading of contemporary Jewish communities may reveal why many Jews are alarmed by crimes committed by other Jews – Jews whom they don’t even know.
I can think of three reasons for such a situation:
- Projection: Because some Jews regard themselves as a racially exclusive tribe, they tend to believe that others - non Jews - will also regard them as such. In other words, many Jews project their own ethno-centric symptoms onto the Goyim i.e. They think the Goyim are as racially driven as they are.
- Guilt: Because some Jews tend to regard themselves as a racially exclusive tribe, they feel guilty for not stopping those members of the tribe who are involved in some major blunders.
- Conjunction –- both 1 and 2.
It is increasingly clear then, that at the heart of the Jewish fear of anti-Semitism and anti-Jewish bigotry we find Jewish racial orientation, manifesting itself in various forms of projection and guilt.
Though it is clear that Jews do not actually form a race, there is little doubt that Jewishness - and especially Jewish secular discourse - is racially, or at least tribally driven.
No Subtle Message Here
Not many people are aware of the racial tension between different Jewish communities such as Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews. In Israel the blood donation of Black citizens with Ethiopian background is disposed of for ‘medical reasons.
Israel legal system is saturated with discriminatory racist and supremacist laws against the Arab and non-Jewish population.
To a certain extent then, the fear of anti-Semitism inherent to the Zionist and Jewish secular political discourse is fueled by the belief that the ‘other,’ i.e. the Goy, may well be equally driven by a similar racist ideology.
Some Jews, it must be said, might offer reasons to reject the above explanation: they might argue that Jewish history (i.e. that endless chain of Shoas), proves that ‘the sons of Israel’ would be justified in being on a constant state of alert. Jews, they might say, should be constantly aware that their neighbours might turn against them at any given moment.
I suggest that we are dealing here with a ‘chicken and egg’ situation: while some Jews would agree among themselves that anti-Semitism is largely an ‘irrational disease’.
A few historians such as Bernard Lazare were brave and honest enough to ask why and how exactly, Jews have managed to bring so much pain on themselves.

Having read your first essay examining Jewish culture and psychology, I just wonder how much of these observations are not yet another, usually highly coordinated, attempt at obscuration. Or, the all too prevalent Jewish Hasbara. Having read the Hasbara handbook (required reading for American citizens unaware of how Israel has hijacked, at a minimum, US foreign policy. Any candidate for public office in the US that speaks out against Israeli/Zionist genocide in Palestine and not pledge total commitment to the rogue, nuclear/WMD state of Israel, commits political suicide. Holy Crap, this should be cause for alarm and outrage for Americans). Hasbara, coordinated and well funded, takes care of Americans understanding the reality of Israel and its policies. And, the degree to which Jews have hijacked the American nation. There is no discussion of the similarities to the very holocaust and concentration camps to which Jews were subjected in WWII, now reality in Gaza. Of course, even if the Hasbara of Israel vis a vis Palestine were not reality, Americans wouldn’t get it anyway. Ask an American Indian what the chances of getting their land back are.
It’s really pretty simple. Jews should be concerned with the crimes of their fellow Jews for the same reason Americans should be concerned with the crimes of America.
The reason Jews have suffered so much is precisely a consequence of their actions. In other words, it’s their own Goddamned fault. Just like the suffering America is now enduring and will continue to endure. The only difference is, the “Jews” have been at it a lot longer and their collective karma is far worse, having taken so long to acquire.
keep writing Gilad Atzmon, your book is quite interesting!
Tx so much Nexus ..
Antisemitism is a red herring. With Zionist crimes it lost its meaning. Interesting as usual Mr. Atzmon. Btw, what do you make out of the fact that ardent antizionist As’ad AbuKhalil says that you are an antisemite? I find that very strange.
I totally agree with you AS. Re As’ad AbuKhalil, i gave my answer in my book. To start with the angry man, has never explained why exactly am I an AS. However, in The Wandering Who I talk about the categorical similarity between Jewish choseness and Left progresivness. We are dealing with 2 exclusive pretentious clubs that establish a continuum between hard core Zionism and the so called Left. This continuum explains why the ‘Left’ UK PSC expels Palestinians from its ranks. . AbuKhalil is, sadly enough, a Rabbi by proxy, and his constant Talmudic tantrum has made him into an angry Zionist. The fact that he fails to see Islam as the leading anti imperial force says it all..
Gilad ..the lady doth protest too much” You refer to the depredations of your co-tribalist as blunders.
“The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.” (Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, La Revue de Paris, p. 54, June 1, 1928).
Perhaps you could use you insider knowledge to clarfy for us Goyims the talmud and fullfilment jewish messianic prophecy.
The following quotations taken directly from the Jewish Zohar prove that the Jews believe that they will exterminate the Gentiles after six thousand years from the day Adam was born, and then the Jews will enjoy a Sabbath millennium of one thousand years in a World without Gentiles; that the creation story is in fact the story of the World’s six thousand years; and that the seventh day, the seventh thousandth of years, is the Sabbath “day” during which the Jewish god will rest, because it will be spent in a new world devoid of non-Jews who will have been genocided by the Jews so as to remove impurity from the World. The Zohar openly states in the following passages, as well as others not here reproduced, that the Jews are at war with the Gentiles and will exterminate the Gentiles. Note that the Jews’ messiah comes only for the sake of the Jews and will murder all non-Jews. Do not make the mistake of believing that the Jews’ messiah will be like Jesus. Note that the Jews believe that one thousand years to humans is one day to their god, pursuant to Psalms 90:4, which states:
“For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.”
Gilad,
I think you are missing several points.
In 2007, I studied the article on “The 100 Most Powerful People In The US”.
I read as much as I could about the make-up, diversity of the Top 100. What I found was about 51 to 54% were outright Jews, while another 20 were using names that made their identity hazy, but were also Jews. The Total about 72 to 74%. I read various comments by Jews at the time in 2007, saying “Are We Powerful Or What”, AWPOW !!
This was much the case in the previous years that lead to the Financial Death Spiral that we are still immersed in, worldwide by the way. How can ONE GROUP, the JEWS, possibly create such misery? It really is beyond comprehension. The ME, Iraq and Afghan Wars, the destruction in Japan, including the STUXNET Virus inserted in Japan’s control systems, as revenge for supporting Palestine Independence, the Financial Armageddon, the list is endless.
My point is that you can’t BRAG about how powerful your race is, how much smarter you think you are, how you control the money and thus the politics of the US, then dig, cut,deceive and back-stab your way to the top, then as 2% of the population, assume you deserve 74% of the POWER and MONEY, then when the shit-hits-the-fan, think you DON’T deserve 74% of the shit that comes with it. I don’t care if there are 20,000,000 Jews in the world, they do WAY more damage than any-other population of 2,000,000,000,000
Then there is still the issue of Israel, Harari, Netanyaho, Barak and the Mossad boys, plotting AND executing 9/11/01 AGAINST AMERICA. NOT FORGOTTEN, NOT FORGIVEN, NOR IS THE USS Liberty.
And they put guys like Larry Silverstein, who was neck deep in the plot of 9/11, out in the spotlight as a figure of virtue.
Lets scale it down. If you were a member of the James (Jesse James) family, a close-nit bunch, and the were bank and train robberies, and murders all over the region, you would definitely be under suspicion.
Fortunately, Gilad Atzmon is just Gilad. Had he grown up with me on the streets of Brooklyn in 50s, 60s, he would just be Gilad. You were judged on your ability to play stoopball or get baseball cards.
Great book; great article. Anytime someone writes a book, they have to be prepared for slander, lies, and hate thrown their way (that is the nature of the beast in many people), but without good, revealing writers, sleuths, where would we be? Happy?, but ignorant and destructive?
