A recent panel discussion of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds had some interesting tidbits about Jewish revenge fantasies:
But [Dr. Amy] Kalmanofsky quickly put that argument [that Jews should feel guilty about revenge] to bed, noting that Jewish texts have always embraced revenge fantasies, from the destruction of the Egyptians in Exodus and Haman & Co. in Megillat Esther. And [Rabbi Jack] Moline — echoing the message of one of his Yom Kippur sermons from earlier this year — also praised the film, describing it as a way of helping American Jews shed some of their Holocaust baggage and getting more comfortable with their Zionist sides.
Moline told his congregants: “To my surprise, my complete and utter surprise, there was something cathartic and deeply satisfying watching this revenge fantasy play out. It was as if something I did not dare admit — my secret blood lust to do unto them what they did unto us — was being acknowledged, permitted and validated. I was liberated from victim hood.”
For making Jews feel good about their blood lust, Tarantino’s future in Hollywood is assured. The producer, Lawrence Bender told Tarantino “Quentin you are about to make your Bar Mitzvah movie, you are going to be officially let into the tribe.”
This reminds me of Alison Weir’s wonderful recent article “Israeli Organ Trafficing and Theft: From Palestine to Moldova.” She discusses the work of Prof. Nancy Scheper-Hughes of the University of California-Berkeley:
Scheper-Hughes discussed the two motivations of Israeli traffickers. One was greed, she said. The other was somewhat chilling: “Revenge, restitution – reparation for the Holocaust.”
She described speaking with Israeli brokers who told her “it’s kind of ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We’re going to get every single kidney and liver and heart that we can. The world owes it to us.’”
Scheper-Hughes says that she “even heard doctors saying that.”
I think that revenge fantasies are a common among Jews and it goes way beyond Nazis. In “Memories of Madison” I wrote that
In my experience at Madison during the 1960s, there was also a strong desire [among Jews] for bloody, apocalyptic revenge against the entire social structure—perceived by them to be the goyish, fascist, capitalist, racist, anti-Semitic social structure. … This fits well with the set of interviews with New Left Jewish radicals in Percy Cohen’s Jewish Radicals and Radical Jews: many had destructive fantasies in which the revolution would result in “humiliation, dispossession, imprisonment or execution of the oppressors.” These fantasies of destruction of the social order were combined with a belief in their own omnipotence and their ability to create a non-oppressive social order.
As Whites become a minority in Western societies and Jews constitute a hostile elite, this Jewish focus on revenge has grave implications for the future. Revenge becomes an important issue given that Jews tend to interpret their history of living among Europeans as a long series of persecutions beginning with Christianity and ending with the Holocaust. (See, e.g., Norman Podhoretz’s Why Are Jews Liberals?)

Honestly I think we have gone as far as we can go with the hypothesizing and theorizing the “Jewish Question.” I suggest the “Just ask them” plan. They could be asked all sorts of questions, say about their revenge fantasies, their anti-white attitudes and actions and all sorts of delicious, interesting questions about other numerous topics.
After reading what Bender and the rest said, and seeing the clip, I am convinced once and for all that theirs is a Culture of Projection.
I think they are guilty of every accusation they hurl at others, especially Whites.
I also think that Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon and the rest of that stable of modestly talented and positively obnoxious movie actors are simply House Slaves for Jewish Supremacism. It couldn’t be more obvious.
I am often stunned by the sheer hatred expressed by many Jews towards non-Jews. Perhaps the peculiar intensity and durability of this hatred can be explained by ressentiment, a French word of which Max Scheler said: “Ressentiment implies living through, and reliving, over and over, a certain emotional response reaction towards another, whereby that emotion undergoes progressive deepening and introversion into the very core of the personality . . .” (Cited in Helmut Schoeck, Envy: A Theory of Social Behaviour, Indianapolis, Liberty Fund, 1987, p. 219.) Ressentiment makes hatred, malice, envy, jealousy, spitefulness, and vindictiveness the dominant characteristics of the psychology of those consumed by it.
Ressentiment is clearly an integral feature of Jewish culture. As Baruch Spinoza wrote:
“The love of the Hebrews for their country was not only patriotism but also piety, and was cherished and nurtured by daily rites until, like their hatred of other nations, it was absolutely perverse (as it very well might be, considering that they were a peculiar people and entirely apart from the rest). Such daily reprobation naturally gave rise to a lasting hatred, deeply implanted in the heart: for of all hatred, none is more deep and tenacious than that which springs from extreme devoutness or piety, and is itself cherished as pious.”
Elliott Horowitz’s Reckless Rites: Purim and the Legacy of Jewish Violence (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2006) may be interesting concerning Jewish revenge fantasies.
