Who has said that the Jewish people are the moral conscience of the world?
No, it’s not a great Jewish prophet or a righteous non-Jew who admired the Jewish people. These words are ascribed to none other than Adolf Hitler, may his name be erased.
In Hitler’s words, “Conscience is a Jewish invention; it is a blemish like circumcision.”
He also said: “If one little Jewish boy survives without any Jewish education, with no synagogue and no Hebrew school, it [Judaism] is in his soul. Even if there had never been a synagogue or a Jewish school or an Old Testament, the Jewish spirit would still exist and exert its influence. It has been there from the beginning, and there is no Jew, not a single one, who does not personify it.”
To Hitler, having a moral conscience was repugnant and despicable; scruples could deprive an individual from realizing his self-gratifying goals. Unbelievably, Hitler also understood that every Jewish soul inherently has such an ethical spirit.
Thank you for sharing this. I was talking to an Israeli friend of mine and I answered her question with something similar and understood. No real revelation by Hitler, just an envious observation. I told her we have a consciousness that is often a curse.
I share your sense of shame, Kelli. It is the same sense of shame I felt over seventy years ago when I watched Richard Dimbleby's documentary about the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. I was mortified, horrified and had no language to express my feelings.
Many years later, I read several books by Primo Levi and in The Truce he wrote about the Russian soldiers who liberated Auschwitz and described the look of disbelief in their eyes as being the same shame that each inmate knew, especially after the selections; the same shame that the just man experiences at another man's crime, and the feeling of guilt that such a crime should exist. When I first read those words about forty years ago, I realised that was what I had felt as a six year old all those years ago but was unable to express. It would be that same shame that I felt on October 7th and, like yourself, everyday since and not just about the atrocities, but about the world's callous indifference to that massacre and the many expressions of Jew Hatred since.
There are many of us in the west that love and support Israel but our voices are not heard. It is like we are preaching to the choir. This fight is not against reality but evil lies and intense brainwashing. I have had to just trust in the strength and integrity of the Israeli people and their G-d!!
Kelli, it will all come good one day.. I’m sure, although it’s so hard right now, for those who recognise the obvious moral truths.
Your outpouring of love and raw, honest emotions are everything. Indeed, you are helping so much by channeling good energy out into the world. We give each other strength and for that I, and my tribe, are eternally grateful. Bless you always Kelli.
You have nothing to be ashamed of. Nothing at all. We thank you and share our gratitude for you continuing to use your prodigious gifts as a writer to expose the dark menace that seems to have gotten hold of half the world.
I'm also ashamed that many of the human rights institutions and activists, who should be helping to make things better, are unfortunately spreading hate and prejudice and thereby making the situation worse.
Shame, frustration, anger …. I feel like everywhere I turn people are twisting the truth; deliberately choosing to lie. They are the loudest. If they shout their lies, then it must be true. All the institutions designed to assist the vulnerable have been infiltrated so as to erode any trust. I’m not even Jewish and I feel it. Like you, I wish I could do more. By writing as you do, at least you can let them know we might not be shouting, but they have our support. And we are proud of Israel. 🇮🇱
Secondly, my late mum, may her memory be for a blessing, used to say, “Empty vessels make the most sound,” which is true, literally and metaphorically.
These shouters and screamers, unconsciously most likely, have to behave that way to make the blatant lies be heard. It is worrying, I’ll admit, added with the propaganda from all the haters: totalitarian theocracies, MSM, so on and so on.
Israel has always tried to let the facts speak for themselves in the past, and has never paid much attention to advocating for herself in a powerful way. This last year has changed that but after decades of brainwashing many idiots and just plain rotters, can’t see the wood for the trees. I’m not excusing them. They need to be brought to their senses and quickly. But that is likely a dream so we have to maintain our truthful stance with strength and determination. They will shout louder and scream till they make themselves hoarse (good!😉) but only because they are blinded by hate..
I’ll try to post the link to a long, but really great podcast I listened to last night. The gist was, Israel and her supporters (bless and love you all!) need to be determinedly strong because that is a) the only thing the Arab mindset understands in power struggles and b) the way to keep ourselves focussed, more emotionally resilient and shield us from the vacuous rabble who try to be clever with their trolling reactionary provocations and cheeky back answers.
I must add Donna, and thank you for your patience reading all this 😉, that if I feel like it these days, I engage these morons, only because it makes me feel good to slap these mf’s down and show them they won’t get anywhere bombarding us with lies and seemingly intellectual word salads.
Our left toes have more intellect than the whole bang lot of these idiots put together!
I now deride and laugh at these fools. They usually see they’re getting absolutely nowhere and show themselves out. Job done! 🕊️💪🇮🇱💪🇮🇱💪🇮🇱💪🕊️
I get what you are saying. Who is to blame. Look at the present governments in the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland,several EU countries and sadly even Australia. All have had their institutions and ruling parties captured by leftist ideologies that are anti judeo christian culture. Many of these governments are turning their back on the truth to shore up electoral seats that have high muslim population content. The silent majority (people with common sense) need to stand up to this travesty of governments doing nothing to fight against the rampant antisemitism sweeping the western world.
Very well said, just one correction, it was Iran that sent the 181 ballistic missiles, not Hezbollah. Hezbollah has sent over 10 thousand missiles, RPGs, rockets, and USVs ever since October 8th. I don’t think they’ve skipped a single day and over 60000 people have been displaced. Nasrallah kept bragging about this feat, which is a prolonged, unprovoked attack on another sovereign country, until he was assassinated in one of the most incredible feats of intelligence. Judging by the amount of celebrations that took place across the Middle East place after his death, he was not the pragmatic, peace loving leader some people make him out to be.
Hey Kelli, I love your passion and ability to articulate the way you do.
I’m going to apologise in advance, for using your stack, to express something else. I am so pieved at some who respond to my support of & for Judah/Israel with total unhinged absurdity and then they block me from replying back! It feels like, they are scared of being proven wrong. So they figuratively, put the scarf over their face, attack, and then go run and hide behind their own women & children like the gutless cowards they are. This particular one going under the name of “Horseloverfat”
Said they were a”Jew” and that I was wrong, and that “Israel was an apartheid state” I had said I was Not Jewish and could easily see Israel’s situ completely!
He/She? said I need not argue on his or Israel’s behalf, because I was not Jewish and he was.
I wanted to reply with…. “You do not qualify to be of the Tribe of Judah! You are a Traitor! And that just as all Jews are Israelites, not all Israelites are Jews. I am of the seed of Ephraim indeed. And I argue on behalf of my Fathers, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) & Joseph, the Father of Ephraim & Manasseh.
My Dad’s name is David Jeremiah and My Mum’s name is Ariel, My 2 Son’s are Benjamin & Nathan.
Where I grew up it was “one in, all in”!!! And so, I stand with my brethren of the Tribe of Judah!”
And for him to Go, get thee hence, and run with the Philistines, and be slayed with them…. Traitor!”
Again, sorry for piggy backing on your stack…. I just really needed to vent this…. 😖
Hi Paul. I have one of those “I hate myself” Jewish friends too. Or should I say, an ex-friend. She was the first in my feed to deny rape and sexual violence on Oct 7, and loves quiet Al Jazeera. What can I say about these people? They are small characters that hate themselves, and get a kick out of being fawned over by the Pro Pal gang. They are attention seekers.
I read this in a Chabad newsletter.

Wow. That’s powerful

Thank you for expressing so clearly what we all feel, and thank you for standing with Israel 🇮🇱 #AmYisroelChai

Couldn’t agree more Kelli. It is shameful and very worrying.
Thanks Paul.
Thanks Kelli. Love to you all from my bomb shelter in Haifa!
Please stay safe. 🤍🤍
So well put Kelli and I couldn’t agree with you more 🇮🇱🇦🇺
Thank you Benn 🤍
