Jewish people are now split into two groups. There are Jews who fight and die in the battle and the erev rav1. The second group includes Chabad, Satmar, assimilated lefties, woke Jews and the rest of the talking trash.
Important to understand that Hasidim, Communists and the Woke are one Messianic movement. They believe in “change” and “progress”. If you follow their history closely, you will see that they are branches of the same tree. Literally, they came about and grew simultaneously, next to each other in the lands of Central and Eastern Europe. Hasidism was created by the underground Sabbatians. Not to mention the obvious Jewish origins in the ideology of communism.
One could see that path in contemporary America in the worshiping rallies on the eve of Obama's election. You can see a direct line from crypto communists (many Jews) in the 30s, 40s to today’s woke universities, purged faculty, etc. The narrative has been tweaked. Proletarians, the Blacks, or Palestinians are the new Jews, but the story is the same. Messianic “change and progress” by vanishing the opponents of the new order. It’s impossible to argue rationally, after all, it is a religion.
But one thing you notice, to have in the “end justifies means” programs, it’s essential to numb the participants to cruelty. A complete denial of the Pogrom in Israel. In Cabad or Satmar, individual suffering is ignored as “collateral damage” to the stability of the hierarchy.
It’s easy to shake mitzvos, it is very difficult to shake the idea that the world can and must be a better place. Must means at any cost. Gulag, Holocaust, from the River to the Sea, no problem. Or, as Dostoyesvky wrote, can God justify a suffering of a single innocent child. A naked child, as a punishment, has been locked in the outhouse in the middle of the bitter and cold Russian night, can God explain it?
Satmar, 80 years after the Holocaust trauma, they still want to trick the American people into supporting their birthrate. Their free lunch is coming to an end. There will be dirty politicians that they can’t buy. Broadly understood, the three centuries of the grift in the name of Besht is coming to an end.
Chabad vultures would like to cynically feast on the dying body of the Jewish people. They can have one more group photo in front of the 770, but everyone knows that the building behind them is empty. Empty of meaning.
In the face of death, all the rest is irrelevant. There are no more “movements”. Zionism is the only viable Jewish movement of the past 150 years. It has been true in 1923, it’s true in 2023.
And the rest is commentary…
Gil was 18, he made Aliyah to Israel from Russia by himself. Despite having severe lung problems, he insisted on joining the IDF armor brigade. Last week he was in Gaza for reserve duty. When his unit needed someone to go out to get some equipment, he volunteered, telling his friends “you all have wives and kids”. He was killed by a sniper almost immediately.
Gil had no family in Israel, thousands attended his funeral.
According to Isaac Luria, in every generation the souls of the Erev Rav are reincarnated in numerous individuals.
