Sid Thomas S*-ing to Power

S*-ing to Power **** S is for Sign, * is for Use. S*, as in S*-ing, is for SLINGING THE SHLONG AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND OTHER ABUSE (Let S* be verse, picture, symbology, rant, whatever talks eternal, American, now) The world is ready and waiting for what we can do here. As John Calvin put it, differently, "It's up to you."

How use of "anti-Semitism" creates anti-Semitism

How use of (the term) “anti-Semitism” breeds anti-Semitism


The way Jews use “anti-Semitism” (see ADL’s Abe Foxman – “Never Again: The Threat of the New Ant-Semitism”; Phyllic Chessler --“The New Anti-Semitism”) is a token of, and provokes, what it rants against -- hatred of Jews.


This can be seen by, FIRST, realizing that: those identified with the Tribe's Zionist pretensions HAVE TO preemptively define the feeling and attitude of disapprobation evoked in reaction to the way they are, as a people. Otherwise, they would have to deal with spontaneous expressions of negativity ethnic minorities in general arouse and live down (Irish, Italians, blacks, Puerto Ricans, etc.). It is a measure of psychosemitoic control in the interest of group-ego: “HERE is what you are experiencing toward us – goes all the way back to Haman.” The idea that it could be a common sort of reaction to ‘differentness’, for which they are partly responsible by this preemptive labeling. is thus both tacitly admitted and denied. It’s like: you keep telling them (about Israel’s behavior, for instance) “Look, you can’t do that…” on the basis of good reasons; until, finally, they say “you’re just anti-Semitic.”

… and SECOND, by realizing that the HAVE TO define the disapprobative attitude UNDER THE COMMON GENERIC IDENTITY, WHICH ‘LOOPS’ THE SIGN-USE PROCESS THROUGH THE NON-INCLUDED OPPOSITE (Palestinians; Abraham’s concubine lineage). The generic racial term “semitic” again serves a dual purpose: to evoke, then split off from, identification with the (to them) abhorrent. This transposes negativity toward them ‘up’, to the level of the common predicate, then ‘back down’ to the infima species . Meanwhile, showing pictures of Arafat schmoozing (“Could you kiss this man?”)

Until it both these things are realized – 1. definition of other’s attitudes toward themselves for others; 2. by way invoking love-of-the-repulsive to avoid “anti-Semitism” getting applied as “hatred of Palestinians” (which no one thinks of doing, the Jews are so beautiful (show pics of Liz Taylor) and persecuted (show lines at the holocaust museums)) -- the cunning manipulation built into use of “anti-Semitic” won’t be seen.

It communicates as it does through a Sign-use pattern of double-double reverse negative (explained elsewhere; see http://www.blogger.com/posts.g?blogID=13900240 )
