The sacrosanct Bushbot, RNC supporter and neo-conservative Zionist Israel-firster Rebetzan Esther Jungreis is at it again. This time she is in Canada pushing her message, her hypocritical Jewish agenda, to college students. Here is an article from the Canadian newspaper The Ottawa Citizen. The Citizen is controlled by Zionist-owned Can West, a Jewish media conglomerate which has sucked up all of Canada’s media and placed it into Hebrew hands. The fact that they would print a piece such as this just shows their brazen disregard for the Gentile majority and the fact that they fear no concomitant criticism from that majority, mainly because any critics will be jailed or fined in the merry ol’ People’s Jewish Republic of Canuckistan. The official editorial policy of most papers located to the socialist North is that no criticism of Israel is allowed. Here is the article discussing Jungreis’ Judeocentric crusade to indoctrinate Jewish young people into more anti-Gentilist thinking, more insularity, more conceit and most of all, more superiority complexes (which they need like a hole in the head). This controversy arose on March 7th and is a contemporary news item. But don’t let me interrupt. Read on.

The high rate of Jews who marry non-Jews has created a “spiritual holocaust” that threatens the survival of Judaism, says an Orthodox scholar and leading opponent of intermarriage.
Esther Jungreis, an international lecturer who has been called “the Jewish Billy Graham,” equates intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews with self-imposed annihilation on the scale of the Nazi extermination campaign.
Mrs. Jungreis’ comments, in advance of a speech she is to give tonight in Ottawa, have thrown her into the centre of a sensitive debate within the city’s Jewish community. Her use of the Holocaust as an analogy and her criticism of conversions have already received a sharp rebuke from Ottawa’s most prominent Orthodox rabbi, Reuven Bulka.
Mrs. Jungreis says she is disturbed by the prospect of children who grow up in intermarried households without a strong connection to Jewish practices and faith.
“It’s a question of understanding that Hitler’s aim was to annihilate our people, and intermarriage is also a form of annihilation, which is sometimes even more deadly than the Holocaust,” she said.
Her lecture at Carleton University is part of a series organized by an Ottawa Jewish-education group; in order to attract interest, the group is offering to pay students $50 if they attend all four talks.
Mrs. Jungreis, a Holocaust survivor and New York-based author, argues there is a moral imperative for Jews to marry within the faith.
“I was able to raise Jewish children, and they carry on the name and legacy and the heritage of my ancestors, who perished in the Holocaust,” she said.
“But if they intermarry, there’s no one to carry on. Entire families could be wiped out. There’s no memory. That’s what we call spiritual holocaust.”
While Mrs. Jungreis’ opposition to intermarriage reflects the prevailing view among Orthodox Jews, at least one prominent Orthodox Jewish leader in Ottawa takes issue with the way she likens intermarriage to the Holocaust.
“I don’t like using the Holocaust for anything other than what it was, and that is an unprecedented act of evil,” said Rabbi Bulka, of the Orthodox Congregation Machzikei Hadas. “But on the issue (of intermarriage) itself, this is an ongoing communal concern.”
Mrs. Jungreis is the author of The Committed Marriage and Life is aTest: How to Meet Life’s Challenges Successfully. Life is a Test is a call for Jews to strengthen their commitment to their faith.
She is also the founder of the Hineni Heritage Center, a group that promotes Judaism by offering religious education in settings where single Jews mingle. In 2004, she was a speaker at the Republican National Convention and has become a regular guest at the White House.
Her lecture at Carleton, titled The Holocaust and the Final Solution to Intermarriage, is not sponsored by the university, but by Jewish Education through Torah, an Ottawa group whose mission is to promote traditional Jewish education.
The lecture is part of the group’s new outreach program targeting university students, at a time when half the city’s estimated 13,500 Jews don’t belong to a synagogue and nearly seven of 10 marry non-Jews. The trends are similar among Jewish populations across North America.Mrs. Jungreis rejects the idea that non-Jews who marry Jews can be converted.
“Conversions are usually a sham, you know, in name only. It’s easy come, easy go, and there’s no commitment behind it. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just to accommodate someone in the family.”
That view drew a rebuke from Rabbi Bulka, whose congregation includes a number of converts. “For them it was not a joke, it was not a sham and it’s almost insulting to suggest that.”
His view is echoed by Rabbi Steven Garten of Ottawa’s Temple Israel, a Reform synagogue. He calls Mrs. Jungreis’ ideas about conversion “antiquated.”
“I think it’s a fallacy to say if you intermarry, by definition you neglect the Jewish faith and don’t raise your children in that tradition,” said Rabbi Garten, whose congregation includes many intermarried couples.
“The conversions that I see are not fraudulent at all. They reflect a personal commitment to Judaism. If the choice is between two Jews marrying who make no commitment to Judaism and a couple who are intermarried but choose to raise their children in the Jewish faith, I’d choose the latter.”
Barry Levy, dean of the faculty of religious studies at McGill University, said such polarized views of intermarriage and conversion are intensifying at a time when the world’s Jews — estimated to number about 20 million — are dwarfed by the billions of Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists.”
Clearly, on a political level, it’s a major concern because if you have a high intermarriage rate, after a couple of generations, the assumption is that the number of Jews will decrease significantly,” said Mr. Levy.
He indicated that despite making up a minority of the Jewish community, Orthodox Jews stand to become a dominant force in Judaism in the near future.”These people have a much higher rate of child-bearing and they have a much more successful strategy for teaching commitment to their religion.”
In that way, Mr. Levy noted, the Jewish debate over intermarriage and conversion, which pits the Orthodox minority against a largely liberal majority, reflects a religious polarization that is increasingly found in other religions.
“What you find is that the most successful groups today are the fundamentalist groups, whether they be evangelical Christians, Muslims or Hindus, because they are the ones that are growing, that are maintaining their community identities and that are actually succeeding in convincing people to adhere to their traditions,” said Mr. Levy.”
The more liberal groups are the ones that are being weakened.”According to a study published last year by the Jewish Outreach Institute, the face of Jewish Ottawa is changing dramatically because of intermarriage, immigration and integration.
The study, based on 2001 Census figures, indicated that half of the city’s married Jews have a spouse who is a non-Jew. In families that are nominally Jewish, nearly two-thirds of children under five live in intermarried households.
The rate of intermarriage is rising sharply given that nearly seven out of 10 Jews under the age of 30 marry outside of their faith.
The figures suggest that without migration from other provinces or countries, Ottawa’s Jewish population would have fallen significantly.
For that reason, organizations such as Jewish Education through Torah, which teaches from an Orthodox perspective, are targeting more outreach efforts at university students. The idea is to reach them at a stage when they’re searching for a life partner as well as answers to life.
“This is an age when people are most disconnected from religion generally, and a lot of people are searching. From a Jewish perspective, we feel that a lot of people know they’re Jewish but they don’t really know what Judaism is, ” said Rabbi Zischa Shaps, director of the Jewish Education through Torah.
The four-lecture series on why Jews should marry within the faith (Mrs. Jungreis’ lecture is the second in the series) marks the launch of the group’s campus outreach program.
To attract more people, the group has taken the unusual step of offering a $50 stipend to students who attend all the lectures. Rabbi Shaps said about 20 students attended the first lecture when it was held last month.
The talk by Esther Jungreis, The Holocaust and the Final Solution to Intermarriage, takes place Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. in room 360 of the Tory Building at Carleton University. It is open to the public.
Interesting little piece, isn’t it? The Orthodox Talmudic Jewish extremists like Jungreis and company compare intermarriage to a second Holocaust and rail about it being a literal genocide of the Jewish people. (This woman is a virtual gold mine when it comes to exposing Jewish supremacism!) The logic of this Zionist activist (who married her first cousin, by the way) is very simple. Here it goes:
1. Intermarriage of a Jew to a Gentile wipes out the Jew’s genetic Jewish lineage.
2. If the Jew’s genetic lineage is wiped out, this equals genocide.
3. Therefore, intermarriage equals genocide for Jews.
In this respect, Esther Jungreis is actually correct and I really don’t fault her for wanting to protect her Jewish heritage. It is one of the most natural human impulses. Though not speaking for Jungreis personally on this issue, I do understand that most Jews don’t want people of European background, and I am talking about white European-Americans here, to be able to preserve their genetic and cultural heritage. Most politically active Jews, whether Orthodox, Reformed, Conservative, secular, Communist, neo-conservative or what have you, work to keep America’s borders open and a flood of non-white Third World dregs streaming into the United States in droves. If their little Zionist scheme is not curtailed, indeed stopped very soon, white European-Americans will soon be a minority in their own country. But this is only part of their twisted hateful agenda for white folks.
In Jewish-written, produced, directed and financed Hollywood films, whites are encouraged to intermarry with other races. It all started with Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner in the 1960s, a film created by Jewish filmmaker Stanley Kramer, a man who I’m sure would want his own daughter (if he has one) to come home with a “nice Jewish boy.” And the steady slew of movies propagandizing white Americans on the virtues of miscegnenation have been coming out of Hollywood ever since. Jews want us to throw away our genetic heritage (imperfect though it may be) while they preserve their own through rigid mores and folkways that can never be violated.
Let’s revert to logic again:
1. Intermarriage of a white European-American to a non-white wipes out the white person’s genetic lineage.
2. If this white European-American’s genetic lineage is wiped out, this equals genocide.
3. Anti-white Jews encourage white European-Americans to wipe out their genetic lineage.
4. Therefore, anti-white Jews desire genocide for white European-Americans.
It’s simple when you break it down logically, isn’t it? What the radical Jew wants for himself, he attempts to wrest away from us. We can literally say that these Jewish supremacists desire our genocide, using their very own logic against them. Yes, some could argue that there is no such thing as a pure white person, but that is missing the point completely. There are really no pure Jewish people either, this tribe having intermarried with other groups of people, at least on a limited basis, over thousands of years. (Don’t even get me started on the Khazars.) But Jews still want to preserve a Jewish heritage, the same way European-Americans, some of whose ancestors also married people of other groups over the millenia, used to want to hold onto their heritage as well. Nothing could be more natural for a human being of any type.
The one characteristic that sets apart European-American activists from Jewish activists, is that those of us in the former category don’t want to deny Jews or any other people the same rights we want for ourselves. We aren’t like the Esther Jungreises and the Abraham Foxmans, who see themselves as “Chosen” or better than everybody else. We are not supremacists, but Jews like the Rebetzan and her Orthodox brethren most assuredly are. It’s all about them, their heritage, their rights, and everybody else’s can be damned. But the dangerous reality of it is, they want other Jews, especially the young, to swallow the same poison pills of distrust, disdain, illiberality and insularity that they have so pompously ingested. And I’m guessing that they probably washed them down with a spritz of seltzer.
