		<description>The Neocons as a Hostile Conservative (!) Elite&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;January 24,2008&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I haven&#039;t read Jacob Heilbrunn&#039;s book on the neocons yet, but  I&#039;m not sure I need to after seeing Philip Weiss&#039;s review. Weiss&#039;s review makes it clear that Heilbrunn&#039;s book corroborates several of the themes in my writing on the neocons and on Jewish intellectual and political movements generally. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;First, neoconservatism is a Jewish movement. That should have been clear to everyone by now, but references to the Jewish basis of the movement have been noticeably missing from much of the mainstream media, to the point that Bill Kristol was introduced as a columnist at the New York Times as simply a &quot;conservative.&quot;  This is critical because the neocons have now become the conservative establishment. When Kristol (or Bill O&#039;Reilly or Sean Hannity) hold forth at Fox News, most people have no idea that they are tuning into the public face of a fundamentally Jewish movement that elbowed out more traditional conservatives. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Secondly, Jewish neocons not only have a strong Jewish identity, they also have strong Jewish interests. This is obvious from their involvement in pro-Israel activism, their personal relationships with Israeli leaders, and close ties with other Jews and with the wider Jewish community. In fact, I have argued that the neocons are more strongly identified as Jews than the mainstream liberal/left Jews — that the neocons form the vanguard of the Jewish community. After all, neocons were the first segment of the Jewish community to strongly condemn the USSR, both for its domestic anti-Semitism and for its alliances with Arab governments. Prominent neocons like Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz began their political careers by making alliances with Cold War hawks like Henry Jackson  This was at a time when the Jewish left was prominently involved in defending the USSR, apparently blind to the fact that the status of Jews as an elite in the USSR had changed greatly following World War II.   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And the neocons are notorious for their strong ties to the most extreme racialist and nationalist segments of Israeli society  — elements that the mainstream liberal/left Jewish community probably wishes would disappear or at least be less visible. (Hence the uproar over Christiane Amanpour&#039;s God&#039;s Jewish Warriors.) Indeed, the Jewish liberal/left has a huge blind spot, continuing to pursue its leftist multicultural agenda in the U.S. while ignoring the fact that the organized Jewish community is deeply complicit in dispossessing the Palestinians and erecting a racialist, apartheid state in Israel. As Weiss has noted elsewhere, &quot;Steve Rabinowitz, Clinton friend, told me this year that if anyone did a study of how much [Democrat] money comes from Jews, it would fuel conspiracy theories.&quot; The Jewish liberal/left lavishly supports Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but makes no attempt to wrest control of the pro-Israel lobby from the hands of what James Petras terms the &quot;reactionary minority of American Jews&quot; who head the major American Jewish organizations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But more interestingly, Heilbrunn points to the “lifelong antipathy toward the patrician class among the neocons … [that] prompted them to create their own parallel establishment.” In this regard, the neocons are entirely within the American Jewish mainstream. As I noted in a previous blog (also commenting on Philip Weiss), &quot;Jews have become an elite, but an elite that does not identify with its subjects — a hostile, estranged but very wealthy elite that still sees themselves as outsiders.&quot; And along with the American Jewish mainstream, the neocons have been vital players in the establishment of a variety of policies opposed to the interests and attitudes of the American majority, most egregiously unrestricted immigration which has successfully altered the ethnic composition of the country. Indeed, neoconservative Ben Wattenberg famously wrote that &quot;The non-Europeanization of America is heartening news of an almost transcendental quality.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This hostility toward the traditional peoples and culture of America among people calling themselves conservatives is striking — the antithesis of normal and natural conservative tendencies. As Sam Francis noted, what the neocons dislike about traditional conservatives is simply that they &quot;are conservative at all&quot;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are countless stories of how neoconservatives have succeeded in entering conservative institutions, forcing out or demoting traditional conservatives, and changing the positions and philosophy of such institutions in neoconservative directions…. Writers like M. E. Bradford, Joseph Sobran, Pat Buchanan, and Russell Kirk, and institutions like Chronicles, the Rockford Institute, the Philadelphia Society, and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute have been among the most respected and distinguished names in American conservatism. The dedication of their neoconservative enemies to driving them out of the movement they have taken over and demonizing them as marginal and dangerous figures has no legitimate basis in reality. It is clear evidence of the ulterior aspirations of those behind neoconservatism to dominate and subvert American conservatism from its original purposes and agenda and turn it to other purposes…. What neoconservatives really dislike about their “allies” among traditional conservatives is simply the fact that the conservatives are conservatives at all—that they support “this notion of a Christian civilization,” as Midge Decter put it, that they oppose mass immigration, ... that they entertain doubts or strong disagreement over American foreign policy in the Middle East, that they oppose reckless involvement in foreign wars and foreign entanglements, and that, in company with the Founding Fathers of the United States, they reject the concept of a pure democracy and the belief that the United States is or should evolve toward it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Francis, S. (2004). The neoconservative subversion. In B. Nelson (ed.), “Neoconservatism.” Occasional Papers of the Conservative Citizens’ Foundation, Issue Number Six, 6–12. St. Louis: Conservative Citizens’ Foundation, p. 9.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That the New York Times can call Kristol a conservative without shame or irony is a striking commentary on the death of American conservatism.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rest of article&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/Blog-Heilbrunn.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/Blog-Heilbrunn.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hmm, I wonder why nobody says that in the mainstream media.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Neocons as a Hostile Conservative (!) Elite</p>

<p>I haven&#39;t read Jacob Heilbrunn&#39;s book on the neocons yet, but  I&#39;m not sure I need to after seeing Philip Weiss&#39;s review.

		<description>The name of Persia, which had been &quot;Persia&quot; for around 3000 years was changed to &quot;Iran&quot; by the father of the last Shah  in 1937, derived from the name of the group &quot;Aryas&quot; (root of the word &quot;Aryan,&quot; as in the old term &quot;Indo-Aryan&quot; languages, now called &quot;Indo-European&quot;), to show his solidarity with Adolf Hitler and his promoting of the &quot;Aryan race.&quot;  I hope that the dissidents will change the name back to &quot;Persia.&quot;</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think there is even a possibility of seeing progress in the region until everyone starts taking some responsibility.  No one&#039;s hands are completely clean and saying Iran is in fine shape because the revolution was only a short time ago is simply a cop out.</description>

		<description>Both Jews and Muslims have a common mindset that life is about a God in a Book, but the Muslim God is a horrible Ass Clown who lives in a cave and orders his true believers to spread and enforce his slave-like cult by force, which makes it an enemy of the world. Poor Persia could have become the world leader in Science until Islam took it over and kept it down, and now Iran&#039;s people just aren&#039;t knowledgeable enough to finally throw Islam off and get with it, so look what they got.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Study Islam&#039;s history free with the Historyscoper and see what Persia could have been at &lt;a href=&quot;http://go.to/islamhistory&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://go.to/islamhistory&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Hatred of Jews is easier to develop than liking for Palestinians.&lt;br&gt;Israel’s enemies made anti-Zionism almost a religion on the Left, especially on college campuses. Hatred of Jews is easier to develop and sustain than liking for Palestinians, (something that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has found effective to exploit.) Jew-hatred is inextricably bound up with the anti-Zionism of the Palestinians, the Arab nations, and the Iranians. And as anti-Semitism has been compared to a virus, is it surprising that it has also affected many of the Western supporters of the Middle Eastern anti-Zionist cause? More about the “poor oppressed Palestinians” at : &lt;a href=&quot;http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/anti-semitic-attacks-and-jihadists.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Western medias.&lt;br&gt;In the west we have the fear factor. Jews do not issue fatwas, attend violent protests, scream obscenities and threats, outfit suicide bombers, hijack airliners, kidnap foreigners, launch terrorist raids and blow up buildings. This obviously puts them at a distinct disadvantage with the Western media, political classes and large segments of the general public who cringe before the menace of Muslim reprisals for perceived offences. Islamic terrorists have carried out more than 13028 deadly Terror Attacks since 9/11. As to the facts :   &lt;a href=&quot;http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2009/05/is-world-just-plain-stupid_07.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2009/05...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
