Daniel Greenfield Delivers a Brilliant Ariel Avrech Memorial Lecture

June 12, 2017 by Robert J. Avrech 7 Comments

Yesterday — on Sunday, June 11 — Daniel Greenfield drew the largest audience we have ever had for our son Ariel’s memorial lecture.

This was a special event because it drew people who had never attended any of our lectures before. Among those who attended were bloggers Bookworm Room, who flew down from deep-blue Marin County; Rob Miller of JoshuaPundit; and Mark Tapson of Truth Revolt. Karen and I were also delighted to meet Kyle Kyllan, producer of The Enemies Within.

(Update: Bookworm Room blogs beautifully, of course, about the lecture here.)

Daniel’s lecture was a sobering yet inspiring 45 minutes. Although it will be posted here at Seraphic Secret and on YouTube in about ten days, I would like to provide a summary.

Paris and The Beasts of Islam

The French have spent years bashing Israel and supporting the so-called Palestinians (Palestinian is not a nationality but a profession) in a desperate bid to appease global IslamoNazis.

A few weeks ago, the French voted in favor of raising a Palestinian flag at the UN headquarters. “This flag is a powerful symbol, a glimmer of hope for the Palestinians,” UN French Ambassador Francois Delattre declared in full Marshal Pétain mode.

The New-Old Jew-Haters of the European Union

When World War II ended sixty-seven years ago, the world learned that one-third of European Jews had been murdered by the Nazis and a multitude of European collaborators.

The Jewish people are easy scapegoats. We are characterized as both communists or capitalists. We are either rootless wanderers or rootless cosmopolitans, a people eternally damned because we rejected the ministry of Jesus or the cruel depredations of Mohammed.

Before the modern state of Israel was established, we were despised as a people without a nation. Now we are despised for having reclaimed it.

The Jewish people’s love of the land of Israel, which is one of the core narratives of the Torah, is part of Christian scripture as well.

Even the Koran, a Jew-hating document par excellence, mentions the Jewish people and Israel. But the Koran, the Torah, and the Christian Bible never mention any place called Palestine or a Palestinian nation. That is because Palestine is a post-modern construct designed by the KGB for their Arab allies during the Cold War. The purpose of this political fabrication was not to establish yet another dysfunctional Arab-Muslim nation, but to commit another genocide of the Jewish people.

We tend to think of Muslim Jew-hatred as an existential threat to Israel and to the Jewish people. We also tend to downplay European Jew-hatred as a vestige of times gone by.

But European Jew-hatred is alive and well. It has morphed into political anti-Zionism. And now the EU has institutionalized Jew-hatred in a series of boycott guidelines that recall the dry, legalistic language of the Nuremberg Laws.
