How Famous Blacks like Kyrie Irving and Kanye West Have Become Anti-Semitic

 My favorite picture of a Kenyan Black Jew with J1 haplogroup living now in Israel, who is my facebook friend.  He's a lawyer and a rabbi, teacher of his people who are related to him.  His DNA tested to be J1, the Jewish Cohen line.  His father's line probably comes from Jews who were traders, searching out Africa for things to trade, and he settled down and had a family.    

We Jews were known to be stiff-necked people.  That meant that if we took an oath, we'd stand by it.  Once something was decided upon, we'd do it. Stiff-necked is the familiar simile for stubbornness, because a stiff-necked person never loos back once he has embarked on a course.   This fact was found in the Torah, the first 5 books of the Old Testament, written by Moses. (Exodus 32:7)  G-d responding to Moses, speaking, "I have seen this people, and behold! It is a stiff-necked people". Moses debates with G-d, who was about to destroy the Israelites.  

"And Moses hurried and knelt to the ground and bowed, and he said, “If I have found favor in Your eyes, my L‑rd, may my L‑rd go among us, because [ki] it is a stiff-necked people, and forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”1

The difficulty in the verse is self-evident. Moses cites as a reason for G‑d remaining with the Israelites the very attribute that G‑d had previously given for wishing to abandon them:

“I have seen these people,” the L‑rd said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people. Now leave Me alone so that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”

Science proves this to be true, for here we are in the year 2022, the stiff-necked people who have survived the ages.  Moses was a Levite and his brother, Aaron, produced many children and descendants, now known to be of the male line of Y haplogroup J1 (DNA). 

We are different;  a religion "Judaism" named for the southern half of of the empire of Israel called Judah, Judea by the Romans, created to stand alone after Solomon died.  It's a religion started with the family of Abraham when 70 of the clan went together into Egypt from Canaan during a drought and food was hard to find.  Abraham, son Isaac and his son, Jacob are the men responsible for our religion. 

We are to be the holy nation set aside as the model for following 613 laws given to Moses from G-d.  We were not to be one of those that mixed in with others.  It looks like anti-Semitism is certainly helping that to happen.  If left alone, what would have happened by the 3rd generation is seen all along the way; Hellenizing,  a mixing into the population where one is living. Alan M. Dershowitz wrote about it in his book, The Vanishing American Jew.   It happened during the Greek days and the Roman days, even in Russia we had Jews as leaders in Communism, Karl Marx, whose parents were Jews.  He was too, but knew nothing and of course didn't practice it.    Wherever we are, we do good under the Laws of Moses, and when that is forgotten, watch out. 

 Our other gifts allowed us of intelligence (10 points above the average population) leadership, our stubborness to stick to the end of a project, are helping us. Much is expected of us.  

So when Hitler was out to kill all the Jews and said we were sub- human, he was laughable. Jealousy was reeking from him. Literally, he called Jews the  Untermensch  lit. 'underman', 'sub-man', 'subhuman'; plural: Untermenschen) is a Nazi term for non-Aryan "inferior people" who were often referred to as "the masses from the East", that is Jews, Roma, and Slavs (mainly ethnic Poles, Serbs, and later also Russians). 

The term was also applied to mixed race and Black people. Jewish, Polish and Romani (Gypsies) people, along with the physically and mentally disabled, as well as homosexuals and political dissidents, and on rare instances, POWs from Western Allied armies, were to be exterminated in the Holocaust.            

That's why it's crazy that Black artist and athlete such as Kanye West-rapper  and following him, Kyrie Irving-basketballer of the Brooklyn Nets, have come out publicly with such anti-Semitic hatred dripping from their mouths and pens.  How on earth could Kanye be such an admirer of Nazis?  Has he ever read about them? 

    

I believe that Kanye made confusing statements about Blacks also being Jewish.  Tell me, what religion is his mother?  father?  I bet they are a long line of Christians.  If you have a Jewish mother, you are Jewish according to our Orthodox rules;  if only the father, you are Jewish according to the Reform and Conservative rules.  Take a DNA test to find out if you have any DNA that happens to be known to belong to the Jewish people.                  

Right now we have discovered the Pathan or Pashtos of India, Afghanistan and Pakistan who are the remnants of the 10 tribes (at least one of the tribes) of Israel.  They still practice Judaism in forms such as lighting candles on Friday night without knowing why expect that it is their family custom.  Their ethics, Pashtunwali,  is remarkably similar to our commandments.  They have many things going for them that conclude a connection, even names of people.  But long ago they converted or became Muslims, and are not about to leave that religion, whereas, many other groups found, usually as Christians, have converted back to Judaism.  Now that's love.  

• Rabbis marched with Martin Luther King Jr., throughout the South, where some were beaten and many were jailed. Prominent among these was Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who was a spiritual partner to King in the struggle against racism. Many of the leaders of the URJ and CCAR were arrested with Martin Luther King, Jr., in St. Augustine, Florida in 1964 after a challenge to racial segregation in public accommodations.  We also know of New York's young Jewish men who went to the South to help the Blacks during these Civil disasters, and they were killed along with their new Black friends.  

One of the first peoples to come to the aid of Blacks in being treated as a first class citizen of the USA have been Jews who have always, it seems  been treated as 2nd class citizens of the world until the USA finally got its ducks in a row and let go of some of their anti-Semitic behaviors.  I'm thinking of the social areas where Jews were not allowed;  being telephone operators in NY, belonging to social clubs, athletic clubs, medical school because of quotas,  etc. We've had more than our share of experiences.
