Secular Jews play a disproportionate role in the sex industry. In his 1992 book "Oh Canada! Oh Quebec! Requiem for a Divided Country," Mordacai Richler writes about Jew-hatred in Quebec:
Leading modern Jewish pornographers include Ron Braverman, John Bone, Wesley Emerson, Paul Fishbein, Herbert Feinberg AKA Mickey Fine, Hank Weinstein, Lenny Friedlander, Bobby Hollander, Rubin Gottesman, Fred Hirsch and his children Steve and Marci, Paul "Norman" Apstein, Steve Orenstein, Jack Richmond (Legend CEO), Theodore Rothstein, Reuben and David Sturman, Ron Sullivan, Jerome Tanner, Armand Weston, Sam and Mitch Weston (Spinelli). Jews accounted for most of the leading male performers of the 1970s and '80s. Hebrew studs include Buck Adams, Bobby Astyr, (Bobby Charles) R. Bolla (Robert Kerman), Jerry Butler (Paul Siderman), Seymore Butts (Adam Glasser), Roger Caine (Al Levitsky), David Christopher (Bernie Cohen), Steve Drake, Jesse Eastern, Jamie Gillis (Jamie Gurman), Ron Jeremy (Hyatt), Michael Knight, William Margold, Ashley Moore (Steve Tucker), David Morris, George Payne, Ed Powers (Mark Arnold aka Mark Krinski), Harry Reems (Herbert Streicher), Dave Ruby, Herschel Savage (Harvey Cowen), Carter Stevens (Mal Warub), Marc Stevens, Paul Thomas (Phil Tobias), Marc Wallice (Marc Goldberg), Randy West (Andy Abrams) and Jack Wrangler. A Jewish male performer writes Luke: "Why are most of the men that do porno Jewish? JEWISH MOTHERS! "Jewish men are taught to respect women and help them (very codependent)... They also are nonthreathening to most women. Let's face it, Ron Jeremy is not exactly Mike Tyson... You'll usually find that the real mean bastards (physically violent) in the industry are NOT Jewish (that includes, producers, directors, boyfriends, agents, etc). Jewish guys are more manipulative...." Jewish female performers include Avalon, Jenny Baxter (Jenny Wexler), Busty Belle (Tracy Praeger), Chelsea Blake, Tiffany Blake, Bunny Bleu (Kim Warner), J.R. Carrington, Lee Carroll (Leslie Barris), Blair Castle/Brooke Fields (Allison Shandibal), Courtney/Natasha/Eden (Natasha Zimmerman), Daphne (Daphne Franks), Barbara Dare (Stacy Mitnick), April Diamond, Jeanna Fine, Alexis Gold, Terri Hall, Heather Hart, Nina Hartley (Hartman), C.J. Laing (Wendy Miller), Frankie Leigh (Cynthia Hope Geller), Gloria Leonard, Traci Lords (Nora Louise Kuzma), Amber Lynn, Tonisha Mills, Melissa Monet, Susan Nero, Scarlett O. (Catherine Goldberg), Tawny Pearl (Susan Pearlman), Nina Preta, Tracey Prince, Raylene, Janey Robbins (Robin Lieberman), Mila Shegol, Alexandra Silk, Susan Sloan, Annie Sprinkle (Ellen Steinberg), Karen Summer (Dana Alper), Cindy West, Zara Whites (Amy Kooiman) and Ona Zee (Ona Simms). If the Torah [Pentateuch] commands Jews "to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation," and Judaism strongly opposes porn, why do Jews dominate porn? The main answer is simple. Jews in porn, like most Jews in academia, media and entertainment, are Jewish in name only. They do little in Jewish life, rarely belong to a synagogue and ignore the Torah. Neither rooted in their own tradition or in that of the majority Christian tradition, they live in a community of rebels. Why does porn attract so many non-Jewish Jews? · Used to hatred from society, Jews will do its dirty work - such as money lending in the Middle Ages or porn today - to make money. Persecuted for millennia in the various societies they've lived in, many Jews developed an allegiance to their own survival as their highest value and care little about the survival of the persecuting society. Even when Jews live in a society that welcomes them instead of harassing them, many Jews hate the majority culture. · Because Jews frequently despise the majority culture, and despite being traditional in most of their values and rituals, Jews seem open to new ways of doing business. Not rooted in the status quo that frequently hates them, Jews often lead the way in the application of new technology - such as printing presses, radio, TV, cable television, VCRs and computers. And the most popular application of new technology for millennia has been porn. · Because of Judaism's emphasis on education and verbal dexterity, Jews dominate academia, entertainment and media generally. · Belonging to the "Chosen Ones" brings self-confidence, and it takes a strong sense of self to thrive in an industry like porn that is disdained by the public. Male performers particularly need confidence to achieve on camera erections. Pornographer Seymore Butts attributes the large number of Jews in porn to the desire for profits. "Jews gravitate towards money. "We're smart people who've been persecuted throughout time. The weak of our people were weeded out. The strong-willed Jews survived...from Egypt to Germany. "Blacks, for instance, are athletically superior (more muscle fiber per square inch of flesh) because they were bred that way. We killed the weak ones off. The ones that survived were the big ones, the fast ones, the strongest ones, the fighters, the ones that could work the most, with the biggest cocks... Jews same thing. We network, the one thing that blacks don't do. They're still killing each other. We support each other. The worst that we will do is sue each other. "If four people compete for a job, and three of them are goyim [non-Jews], the Jew, all things being equal, will get the job. That's the way I work. If I've got three actors going for a part, and one of them is Jewish, and they're all in the same ballpark... Sue me." In his 2000 book "Bookleggers and Smuthounds: The Trade In Erotica 1920-1940," English professor Jay Gertzman writes about the disproportionate influence of Jews in the sex book trade: "This irrepressible insistence, seen as characteristic of Jewish merchants in particular, and of ethnic middlemen minorities in general, helped confer pariah status on the erotic book dealers. Here, the one-hundred-percent moralist warned, was a tightly knit group of workers single-mindedly driven to material success, an apparently autonomous minority that had chosen to pursue its own "godless, unAmerican" goals with a strange and foreign intensity. When added to the disreputable nature of the business, as attested to by the denunciations of various authority figures, and by police action against the "promoters," as postal inspectors termed them, the identity of the erotica distributor as clannish - employing "their own kind" - and aloof - with their own, ethnic, allegiances - became fixed. Here was a kind of "parasite" with whom one would, on occasion, itch to deal, but would remain chary of trusting, especially because the dealer was so good at what he did." (pg. 41) Jews participating in the sex trade are not behaving Jewishly. They're acting in a manner contrary to everything Jewish - the Torah, Israel, God, synagogue and everything the Jewish tradition considers holy. But to be a Jew, you simply have to be born of a Jewish mother, just as you automatically become an American if you are born to American parents. A Jew can hate Judaism and Israel, Moses and the Torah, and still be a Jew. His values aren't Jewish but he's still a member of the people Israel. To be a Christian, by contrast, one must affirm Christ. This explains how Jews can live un-Jewish lives. While few Jews are radical, many radicals (and pornographers) are Jews. Writes non-Jew Ernest van den Haag in his book The Jewish Mystique, "Out of one hundred Jews, five may be radicals, but out of ten radicals, five are likely to be Jewish." Virtually all movements to change the world come from the Jews - Christianity, secular humanism, Marxism, Socialism and Communism, feminism, and the labor movement. That's part of the reason that Jews are hated. The world doesn't want to be changed. Rooted in nothing, radical Jews frequently seek to make others equally rootless by tearing down their religious, national, communal and traditional allegiances. Such Jews carry on the traditional Jewish hatred of false gods but without offering anything to replace the scorned allegiances. Jewish domination of porn, banking, entertainment, media and academia does not lead to discrimination against gentiles - most radical Jews marry Gentiles. Nor does it lead to flattering portraits of Jews, as Jews abound in self-criticism. Rather, the most important result of the domination of non-Jewish Jews in these fields is their war on traditional values. Porn is just one expression of this rebellion against standards, against the disciplined life of obedience to Torah that marks a Jew living Judaism. "I have not yet met a Jewish guy who wasn't a horny rabbit," says Nina Hartley. "Culturally it's ok for Jews to act and for WASPs it's difficult. Many WASP men feel that acting is making a fool of yourself. To go up there and have sex is seen as opening yourself up to too much potential for failure. It's ok for Jews to be actors and many of them are hams. They don't worry about the potential to look silly. There is also a lack of guilt about sex that Jewish men have generally. Plus, they get to have sex with all these beautiful blonde women... Where else are you going to get a succession of shiksas [non- Jewish women] to bed you down?" (Shmate) The number of Jewish studs is "one of God's little jokes," says R. Bolla who once allowed Jamie Gillis to stay at his New York apartment for a few weeks if he promised "to never bring bacon home." "Sex is the not the greatest sin in the Jewish religion," notes Bolla. "I hope that porn is the most unrighteous thing I do. If we go out of our way to be scumbags, that's the sin. When I do porn, I offend Shakespeare more than God." Ten Jewish porn stars interviewed by the late Screw reviewer Dan Shocket in the early '80s, insisted that they maintained some Jewish values. They sought to treat others in a dignified manner and demanded the same treatment for themselves. "If I'm in the cesspool," says Bobby Astyr, "I may as well be nice in the cesspool. When I first got into the business, I felt the least I could do was to get the dopers off dope and to help where I could. I thought that I'm doing something wrong, so while I'm doing it, I'll also do something nice. Selective morality." (Screw magazine) Herschel Savage remembers bringing a girl with him to an interview with a porn director. "This guy looked at the girl and said, 'Take your top off.' She did. He then puts up his hands and says, 'Your tits are too small. I can't use you.' "I got so angry. I said, 'That's not the way you talk to a person. If you don't like the way she looks, just say you can't use her right now.' "We're in his basement and he's standing behind the bar. All of a sudden he puts his hand behind the bar as if he's going to get a gun. I keep talking, telling him how to behave with people. I know I lost the job, but I couldn't let him get away with that. The girl was crushed. "If the producer had said my cock was too small, I could've joked about that. I know my worth. The guy couldn't hurt me. But that girl couldn't defend herself." (Screw magazine) Like many pornographers, Richard Pacheco refuses to use the word pornography. "Working in adult films is the most righteous thing I do. I take enormous pains to treat people fairly, a revolutionary concept in this business, which is hardcore in terms of exploitation. That we've entrusted the sexual film to amateurs, criminals and drug addicts is absurd. My commitment to the industry is to stop doing crap and start doing stuff that elevates the human spirit." (Screw magazine) Each of the ten Jews - except Marc Stevens - insisted they were actors first, who happened to perform in X-rated movies. "I'm feeling more guilty about doing this interview than I am about being a porn star," Bolla told Dan Shocket. "I'm afraid this will besmirch Jews. "The men in this business are not as down and out as the women... For women, this is sometimes a last resort. I feel it. For the men, it's revenge at their parents." "Through history, every established order has at one time or another excluded and/or exterminated the Jews," writes Dan Shocket. "This has given Jews a jaded view of the established order. All X-rated actors interviewed bragged about their joy in being anarchic, sexual gadflies to the puritanical beast." "I like the idea of testing the waters," says Bolla. "In the pond of complacency, I'll throw something in. I like dichotomies. I go to synagogue, I go to Israel when I can; I make porn films; I make straight films; I'll stand for specific causes, and I'll give my life to a cause worth dying for. Those contradictions throw people off." Bobby Astyr remembers having "to run or fight for it in grammar school because I was a Jew. It could very well be that part of my porn career is an 'up yours' to these people. It's also an 'up yours' to the uncles with the pinky rings who got down on me as a kid for wanting to be musician." "Five years before I got my first part in an adult film," says Richard Pacheco, "I went down to an audition for an X-rated film with my hair down to my ass, a copy of Wilhelm Reich's Sexual Revolution under my arm and yelling about work, love and sex, which were Reich's three principles. These things have got to be in balance or your life is going to f---ed." Pacheco didn't get the job. "Five years later I auditioned for another X-rated film. That very day, I also interviewed at Hebrew Union Seminary to do rabbinical study. I made the choice that the kind of rabbi I would be, if I became one, was one that could have been performing in sex films as part of his experience." True-believing communist and porn star Nina Hartley wants everyone to have a piece - a piece of sex and a piece of the means of production. She descends ideologically from the Marxist Jewish philosopher Herbert Marcuse who prophesied that a socialist utopia would free individuals to achieve sexual satisfaction. Nina descends literally from a line of radical Jews. Her grandfather (a physics professor) and her father (a radio announcer) belonged to the Communist party. Her home celebrated Hanukkah, Christmas, Passover and Easter as holidays rather than holy days. Like most of porn's Jews, Hartley received no formal religious instruction. One of her brothers and her one sister - a doctor - came to Orthodox Judaism as adults and barely relate to Nina, the family's black sheep. In the mid '80s, Nina's parents became Zen Buddhist priests. "When my parents saw me speaking on the Phil Donahue show," says Hartley, "they were shocked and upset. They are now more accepting. They know I'm happy and healthy and still the person they know. "One brother thinks my work is a hoot. Doesn't bother him at all. My oldest brother can barely bring himself to say hello to me. He's very upset with what I do. He's a practicing "born again" Orthodox Jew, so we don't speak. Even before he found out what I did, we didn't have a whole lot in common, because of his religious behavior. He's the hardest case to crack." Socialist Sheldon Ranz interviewed Nina for the Spring 1989 edition of the radical New York journal Shmate. "I don't understand how a family where the parents have a Communist background can raise a kid who grows up to be an Orthodox Jew," said Ranz, a child of Holocaust survivors. "How did that happen?" Nina: "They're still asking themselves that very question. My brother turned to it the way anyone turns to religion as an adult. Insecurity, fear, a desire for community, a desire for roots, and identity. He started out being interested in the history of Jewishness and Jewish culture. He slowly got into the more religious aspects of it, buying the t'fillin and the whole bit. "My family doesn't understand exhibitionism or pornography. I'm Jewish culturally but not religiously. I'm generally less subservient than a typical WASP female. "I grew up in Berkley, which is heavily influenced by [secular] Jewish culture. It's an intellectual town. A lot of the people who set the political agenda are Jewish. "I'm proud of my heritage's intellectual history and its empathy with the persecuted. But I'm no Zionist. Politically, I'm left wing. I want everyone to have a job, everyone to have food, clothing, shelter, medical care and education. Utopia might be communist but in the meantime we have to have socialism. I want everyone to have a piece. "I believe strongly in the heritage of Jews as educators. I feel very proud of the fact that if it weren't for the Jews, half the world would still be illiterate. I would like to know about Jewish religion as history, but as an atheist, I see no reason to practice any religion... because it is organized superstition...the opiate of the masses. "Israel doesn't figure in my identity, but I do think about it. As it is now - a theocracy masquerading as a democracy - I don't think it has a right to exist. "That Israel denies basic civil rights to the Palestinians in the occupied territories makes me angry at Israel. If Israel does not clean up its act, it will become another graveyard for the Jews." (Shmate) Nina Hartley's husband Dave, who works as a gardener, and Nina's 'wife' Bobbie, grew up as liberal Methodists. "They like my energy, my ability to be intellectual, which doesn't come easy to many WASP women because they're not taught that it is valuable. My individual will, my refusal to bow down and be subjugated by others is a Jewish trait. "When I grew up, we had six people around the dinner table. We'd have two or three conversations going on at one time. There'd be diagonal conversations, straight-across conversations, next-to-yourself conversations... When Dave and Bobbi grew up, one person spoke at a time at the table and was finished, and then the next person spoke.... It flabbergasted me when I found this out... "When Dave goes into a Jewish situation...he goes crazy because everyone talks all at once to everybody else. The interruptions infuriate him." Hartley met Juliet Anderson at the O'Farrell in 1982 and broke her porn cherry in the first movie that Juliet wrote, directed and produced - Educating Nina. Nina, who looks like Goldie Hawn, moved on to such videos as Amanda By Night 2, Ball Busters, and Rites of Passion as well as the mainstream flick based on the life of John Holmes - Boogie Nights. She usually appears in low-budget hardcore rather than elegant couples fare, notes Steve Brent. "Watching a Nina Hartley tape every once in a while is more an act of supportive politics than a sensual experience." Bill Margold ranks Hartley as the most popular person in porn. She treats her fans with courtesy. "I validate their desires. Unlike many other women in the business, I don't look on fans as icky perverts. I treat them as full human beings. "We celebrate sex. I tell them, "Isn't this great?" I've seen my fans through many stages of life, from bacherlorhood to marriage and children." Hartley became porn's leading star after the retirement of Ginger Lynn in 1986. One of Nina's best known flicks is Debbie Duz Dishes, produced and directed by WASP Damon Christian (Richard Aldrich). She plays a sexually insatiable Jewish housewife who enjoys sex with anyone who rings the doorbell. Unlike Hollywood producers, pornographers show Jewish women who enjoy sex, a sharp contradiction to the JAP stereotype. Sheldon Ranz writes: "Prof. Steven Martin Cohen (one-time editor of Response magazine) who surveys trends like intermarriage also surveys poitical affiliations and views of Jewish voters. Years ago, he popped the porn question to Jewish respondents as well to control groups of African-Americans and other Gentiles. He found that US Jews were the only group with a majority opposed to anti-pornography laws. "At the time, some people with whom I had discussions thought this was due to the strong liberal Jewish commitment to civil liberties. At first, I agreed, but then I noticed something bizarre...the same Jews did NOT support the right of neo-Nazis to march in public. The ACLU crowd does support that right, so how to make sense of the results? "The explanation that fits all the facts is that most US Jews do not think of pornography as a problem, or at least a big one. And here is where that tiny, hard band of brave Orthodox dissenters may fit in." After graduating with a degree in photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Mal Whorb began work in 1965 at the largest independent film processing laboratory in the country - MovieLab in New York which made the American prints for I Am Curious (Yellow) as well as exploitation fare for such producers as David Friedman. It refused hardcore. Mal wanted to direct but first he needed to gain experience. So under the name Carter Stevens he made the 1972 porno The Collegiates starring Harry Reems. Two years later Carter directed Lickety Split, which was Screw's number six film of 1974. It ranked among Variety's top 50 grossing films for 1974. One week in New York it was the city's highest grossing movie. "Before I got into adult, I talked it over with my mother. She wanted to know if it would hurt my career. 'What career?' I said. "My parents had liberal attitudes. My mother used to say about sex, 'When it's great it's great and when it's lousy, it ain't too bad'. "Gerry Damiano came from a Catholic background and his films are obsessed with guilt. I'm Jewish. We don't have that problem. You won't see obsessions with guilt in my work or that of other Jews. Damiano and I had fascinating discussions on this theme." Mal's younger brother practices Orthodox Judaism. Owning a Masters Degree in philosophy, Avraham published two arcane books on Jewish theology. After moving from New York to Los Angeles in 1980, Bobby Hollander developed the shot-on-video vignette format in the early '80s with such series as Touch, Centerfold Celebrity and Bubble Butts. Bobby discovered Shauna Grant and spoke on a PBS documentary about her suicide, earning criticism for his sleazy appearance and comments. Hollander threw dozens of wild cocaine parties during the 1980s. After years "living the life" he lost his health in the '90s. Though down to one lung, he keeps smoking. "There are lots of [Jewish] heavies in the industry," says Wally Wharton about tough guys like Bobby, "who know that Jewish guys have a wimpy reputation. And they know that people [in porn] don't necessarily respond to "I'll sue your pants off," because these people [porn business owners] can always file bankruptcy. You can't get blood out of a turnip, right? So instead, they do the strong-arm thing. "I'll have your f---ing legs broken, buddy." A lot of them [Jews in porn] pretend to be Italian [Mafia types]. They affect the tan, gold chains, big collars, steel grey hair and open shirts." Porn-again Jews who wish to be Italian include Hollander, Lenny Friedlander, and Paul Norman. "The Mafia is a comfortable persona to hide behind," explains Wally, "because then you're able to victimize women... It's your job. Genuine Italians like John Stagliano don't draw on the Mafia phenomenon like the posers do." Beginning nude photography in the late 1950s, Ron Vogel's credits include over 800 porno boxcovers and 1000 layouts in sex magazines, including the first pictorials of Traci Lords and Ginger Lynn. Because the soft-spoken photographer-gaffer rarely uses profanity or says or does anything crude, Ron works with much of the new talent to ease their journey into porn. Born 10/7/31 to Jewish parents who later converted to Christianity, Vogel grew up in San Francisco. Ron met his future wife Audry Pomerantz at age 14. They dated for four years before eloping. With the 1956 submission of color photos of his wife in a bikini to a fledgling mens magazine published by Alan Stern, Ron entered the sex business. In Audry's second shoot, published in Escapade, her nipples pop into view. Ron shot his first Playboy Playmate - Lari Laine - for the May 1958 issue and then shot another nine centerfolds for the magazine over the next decade. Many of them appear in the 1979 Playboy issue that features Ron's nude photos of his daughter Alexis. "Father Knows Best," reads the headline. "Photographer Ron Vogel has been snapping pictures of his daughter ever since she was a baby. At 21, she's still his favorite model." Playboy displays a nude shot of three year old Lexi. "Shortly after he began shooting for Playboy, Ron and his wife Audry had a girl who soon began imitating the poses of the naked ladies in her father's studio. "Once," Audry recalls, "when Ron was shooting a Playmate, Lexi came into the living room and said, 'You can shoot me now, Daddy.' She was three at the time and she had nothing on, just long red curls down her back. She just decided she was going to be shot in the nude, too. She had the cutest little tush." Over the years, Ron took "hundreds of pictures of Lexi in various states of undress. She has youth and vitality greater than most of the models I've worked with and her coloring is extraordinary; she has earthy tones and dark penetrating eyes." Lexi: "I was a ham. I'd try to get my dad's attention away from the models." As she grew into a woman, Lexi developed few inhibitions about posing nude. "It's always been casual around here. We've always been a nudist family, so I never had any problems posing that way for my father." "Posing nude for me throughout the years has made Lexi very free about herself," says Ron. "As a child, she was a good actress." At the time of her Playboy pictorial, Ron and Lexi appeared on many talk shows explaining their behavior. Many persons expressed concern that nude photography violates a child's dignity and displays incestous overtones. Now married, Alexis runs Playboy's makeup department. In 1959, Vogel worked his first "adult" movie set for the Ted Paramore softcore flick Not Tonight, Henry. As the sex industry became increasingly explicit, Ron moved with it, zooming in for the demanded gynecological close-ups. Ron and Audrey separated in 1976 and divorced in 1986. 11/3/99 Greg Savitt writes to Luke:
Johnathan, a Jew who graduated from Yale, writes Luke:
Washington Post reporter David Segal writes Luke: "I read your section on Jews in porn, which I found riveting, not to mention remarkably encyclopedic. I'm afraid I can't add any original insights to the discussion there. My sense is that Jews are disproportionately represented in just about every money-making, entertainment-oriented enterprise and porn is simply no exception. Don't forget that the Jews built Hollywood, ran all the major studios and were the brains and financial muscle behind just about every great film made before 1960. (Take at look at "An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood" by the superb Neal Gabler.) I'm not saying that Steve Hirsch is simply a latter-day, lower rent version of David O. Selznick, but both of these gents are businessmen making a buck by filming and then peddling fantasies to the masses. In addition, Judaism never stigmatized sex the way it is in some forms of Christianity." Louie writes: "Hey Luke- LOVED your article about Jews in porn, you're pursuing a sociological issue from a thoughtful and intelligent perspective. The marginalization of Jews through both subtle and overt anti-semitism is a clear connection to the subsequent discovery of Jewish influence (disproportionate to pop.) in marginalized and revolutionary fields. How ironic that the more society pisses on Jews, the more Jews give back to society innovations of epic stature (not Porn, heheheh), from Nobel Prize discoveries (I believe 1 in 5 Nobel winners in the sciences is Jewish) to psychology (Freud), philosophy (Spinoza) literature (Kafka) Film directing (Kubrick, Speilberg), etc. etc. etc, the list goes on and on. Would that Jews were accepted/embraced by non-Jews, my guess is a far less interesting race of people (and I call Judaism a race intentionally). "What I like about your writing is how you're NOT twisting this
approach as a slant to boost anti-semitism, as many do (ie: Jews have
too much power, lets look at "why" under the guise of sociological
critique, but really because we hate them), but to genuinely understand
better how our culture works. Porn being an extreme, yet potent example.
Anyway, excellent piece, I again salute you. You're asking the questions
that need to be asked, and are all too aware of how dangerous words
can be. Many will twist any view of Jews being disproportionately
successful towards hatred and accusions of collusion, lying, dishonest
business practice, manipulation, etc.. However the former can not
be denied, and the latter must not be tolerated. For example: Jews
"run" Hollywood? Well, there are a lot of Jewish people in Hollywood,
but the two biggest powerholders are Rupert Murdoch and Ted Turner.
So I think not. It's convenient for the bulls--- sociology investigator
to find what they "want" to see, ie: Jews in hollywood in power, and
overlook what they don't want to see. It's the rocharch test of racism.
Hold up any area of society disproportionally filled with a minorty,
see if people react to only those examples matching their generalization." Amalek writes 9/99:
9/23/99 Porno's Untapped Pedagogical Value Amalek writes:
Luke Too Many Jews Mike Albo at Larry Flynt Publications writes Luke: "Are there too many Jews on porn? As far as I can tell, there’s just one too many—and, truth be told, that person isn’t even a real Jew. Know who I’m talking about? It’s you, you pathetic excuse for a human being. So do yourself a favor and take your girlie little pistol ( a real man would choose a Glock 9mm. or a Colt .45 and not the pathetic snubnose .38 you’ve chosen), load the chamber, stick the barrel in your mouth or up your ass (two orifices which I’m sure have received other long, hard objects) and pull the f---in’ trigger. With any luck, you’ll be dead by morning." Why the Jews? I summarize and quote from the excellent book by Dennis Prager and Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, Why the Jews? The Reason For Antisemitism: For nearly all of Jewish history people recognized that antisemitism was a reaction to the Jews and Judaism. But today Jew-hatred is generally attributed to factors having little to do with Jews and Judaism. The causes of antisemitism are generally held to be economics, political use of the Jews as scapegoats, general ethnic prejudice, the psychopathology of hate, and human irrationality - all of which dejudaize Jew-hatred. Among those most committed to these dejudaizing interpretations of Jew-hatred are secular and non-Jewish Jews [the Jews of porn] who are committed to the notion that Jews are not essentially different from all other people. Accordingly, they want to believe that antisemitism is but another form of bigotry, that it is not permanent, that in the secular world it will die out, that there are no rational reasons for Jew-hatred, and/or that antisemitism is a sickness... * Scapegoats... That Jews are merely convenient targets for a society in trouble... Yes Jews have been used as scapegoats but that does not explain Jew hatred. Why the Jews? * Economics. Because Jews are rich. But then why not hate all rich people? And not hate poor Jews? For instance, Jews were not hated because they lent money. They lent money because they were hated. * Psychology. While there is little doubt that Adolf Hitler and many of his associates were psychologically disturbed, this fact did not cause antisemitism, let alone the Holocaust. Were the tens of millions of Germans and other Europeans who supported Nazi antisemitism also sick? Did tens of millions of Christians in medieval Europe hate Jews because they were sick? Is Soviet antisemitism a funciton of some psychosis? Is the Muslim world pathological because it wants the Jewish state destroyed? The ultimate cause of Jew hatred is that which makes Jews Jewish - Judaism. For thousands of years Judaism has consisted of three components: God, Torah, and Israel; that is, the Jewish (conception of) God, Jewish law, and Jewish nationhood. Jews' allegiance to any of these components has been a major source of antisemitism because it has rendered the Jew an outsider, and most important, it has been regarded by non-Jews (often correctly) as challenging the validity of the non-Jews god(s), law(s), and/or national allegiance. By affirming the one and only God of all mankind, thereby denying legitimacy to everyone else's gods, the Jews entered history at war with other people's most cherished values. The Jews compounded this hostility by living by their own all-eoncompassing laws in addition to or even instead of the laws of their non-Jewish neighbors. And by continually asserting their own national identity in addition to or instead of the national identity of the non-Jews among whom they lived, Jews have created hatred of Jews. From its earliest days Judaism's reason for being has been to change the world for the better, (in the words of the ancient prayer Aleinu) "to perfect the world under the rule of God." This attempt to change the world, and to challenge the gods, religious or secular, of the societies around them, and to make moral demands upon others (be it through Judaism, communism, feminism, etc) has constantly pissed off non-Jews. Judaism also holds that the Jews were specially chosen by God to improve the world. As a result of Jews living Judaism, they have led higher quality lives than their non-Jewish neighbors. Jews have nearly always been better educated; Jewish family life has usually been far more stable; Jews aided one another more than their non-Jewish neighbors helped each other; and Jews have been far less likely to become drunk, beat their wives, abandon their children... Chaim Amalek writes about anti-Semitism:
5/26/00 Luke: "Is it tough being a non-Jew in a Jew dominated business?" Mike South: "You want to know the truth Luke? It is a pain in the ass getting all these Jew cocksuckermotherf---ers to pay me on time." Chaim writes: "I then warned you that there would be repercussions to such hate on the web. Hate is bad. Hate must not go unchallenged. Lawyers are engaged, faxes are being sent - more later. Until then, make yourself a gut yontif.
