For the past century, Jewish nation is being annihilated. Starting with the Ukrainian genocide around 1920, through the Holocaust and into the total assimilation in the Diaspora, the Jewish nation is ruthlessly, systematically annihilated.
The Jews experienced the destruction of similar magnitude during Babylon’s conquest, the bubonic plague genocide in the 14th-century Europe, and possibly several other times. The current annihilation is rare, but not exceptional by historical standards – the bubonic plague pogroms reportedly left just ten percent of European Jews alive.

Ben Gurion described Eastern European Jewry as human waste – the words abominable, but with a kernel of truth. A lot is written about American and Russian POWs breaking down in the harsh environment of German and Japanese internment camps, but their dehumanization came nowhere close to that of Jews most of whom truly behaved as submissive human cattle. Imagine six million of them entering Israel before the 1948. The War of Independence would end up in the Holocaust rather than al-Naqba.

Centuries of submission to Christian persecution twisted Jewish mentality no less than the four centuries of Egyptian bondage. Most ghetto Jews were no more religious than the Hebrews who molted the Golden Calf; synagogues were their clubs. The ghetto Jews, like the generation of the Exodus, were barred from the Promised Land.

Social systems grow old and die. Shortly before a society’s death, the last enterprising members escape. When Judea became a typically corrupt and despotic Middle Eastern country, many Jews settled into vibrantly Jewish communities of the Diaspora. Rome sprouted Constantinople. The last enterprising Europeans colonized America before Europe decayed into the welfare socialism. Likewise, Jews with the minimal sense of self-esteem and self-preservation fled tsarist Russia for America. Those who left behind mostly perished.

Jews bred on cosmopolitan American consumerism and Russian communalism are destined for the mill of assimilation. Rare individuals fortunate to meet decent rabbis or nationalist leaders will survive as Jews, but most will cease. They think in the terms of being a good person, international friendship, and political correctness instead of the rogue Jewish terms: choosiness, purity, and isolation. Few can be converted back to Jewishness in arduous one-on-one discussions, but most will never understand why it is unacceptable to marry a nice, ethical Gentile who doesn’t strive to join the People of Israel.

Annihilation is another side of purification. Jewish nation grew old, heavy with people who need not their Jewishness. But Jewishness is not about ethnicity; it’s about zeal. Only zealots can maintain a pure society, be proudly different from others without sliding into jingoism. The Jews who leave the Jewish nation – the nation is happy to divest of them.

As in the old prophecies, blind guides arise to lead the blind astray. Jewish leaders laughed at Zhabotinsky for begging the shtetl Jews to flee the burning Europe. American Jewish organizations denounced Hillel Kook’s group which abandoned political correctness to help their Jewish brethren exterminated in Europe. The same organizations decried Meir Kahane’s push for freeing the Soviet Jews. Israeli leaders abandon Judea and welcome the Arabs to live in the Jewish state.

America was a state for pioneers, not all Europeans. Pleasure-seeking immigrants are alien to the US pioneer identity. Canaan was a place not for all Jews; those fearful to fight for it died out in the Sinai. Modern Israel was intended and Judea could become the state of Jewish pioneers; she doesn’t need all Jews.

The birth rate among the atheist Israeli Jews is hardly positive and among the Diaspora Jews is negative. Only religious Jews breed well, while others are assimilating and dying out. If this trend continues, in a generation or two the Jews will only be religious. A small number of Gentile spouses determined to bring up their children Jewish will bring new blood into the nation. Jewish people, “refined as silver,” will again stand up ready for the divine service.

And if not? It’s God’s business; let him care. We just do our part.
