Friedrich Braun on the Jewish Question
Editor’s Note: Once you read this article, be sure to follow the link at the end to Occidental Dissent and read the discussion.
At Majority Rights, Friedrich Braun has outlined his new stance on the Jewish Question, which is a 180 degree turn from his old material at The Civic Platform. Needless to say, I disagree with a number of his points:
1. Braun says that only a “Right” friendly to Israel and the Jewish community can succeed in the political arena.
In the United States, the “Right” has been defined by the philo-Semitic conservative movement since the 1960s. It has had a lot of electoral success … but so what? White Americans are worse off in every single way, racially and culturally speaking, than my grandparents’ generation.
Voting for conservatives isn’t an option for the pro-White movement. We get absolutely nothing in return but the scorn of these people and the tireless promotion of Jewish and non-White interests at our expense. It is better to do nothing at all – retreat from the public sphere and enjoy the pleasures of private life – than to support conservatives.
2. Braun claims that anti-Semitism is a political loser.
I’m not so sure. I don’t think the American public cares nearly as much about “anti-Semitism” as the philo-Semites insist they do. David Duke won the majority of the White vote in Louisiana. In Alabama, the race-mixing Holocaust denier Larry Darby won 43% of the vote in the 2006 Democratic Party primary for Attorney General.
In the popular imagination, I live in the heart of the Bible Belt. Everyone around here is supposed to be uber philo-Semitic evangelical Christians. I know my peers fairly well and this couldn’t be more untrue. Most of them are either irreligious or outright atheists. None of them care about the Jews. They don’t have any opinion on the issue.
3. The Right should put Jews in position of authority.
We already have the neocons in control of the conservative movement. A Right that puts Jews in a position of authority will never be anything more than a front group for Jewish interests.
4. There are plenty of racialist and rightwing Jews with whom we can build alliances.
Name them. I don’t think all of them combined could fill more than half of an Applebee’s restaurant. What’s more, these racialist and rightwing Jews are more interested in “fighting anti-Semitism” than any other pro-White cause. Bringing them into White Nationalism is tantamount to creating just another ideological vehicle for the promotion of Jewish interests.
5. White Nationalism hasn’t accomplished anything in the postwar era.
There is a good reason for that. After the demise of segregation, racially conscious Whites flocked into the aracial, philo-Semitic conservative movement where they became steadily deracialized. Braun is advocating more of the same. It will produce exactly the same result.
6. A friendly disposition towards Jewry will get us into the media and political area.
No, it won’t. It will get us about where Jared Taylor and American Renaissance are now. Jews will persist in their hostility to us. They will continue to relentlessly push their interests at our expense. We won’t get anything in return for abandoning our hostility to the Jews.
7. We must counter the Nazi image.
I disagree. We should wait for the “Greatest Generation” to die off and the Boomers to retire. Gen X’ers and Gen Y’ers don’t care nearly as much about the Jews.
8. Jews will bring vast resources into our movement.
No, they won’t.
9. Jews are moving to the Right.
No, they haven’t. See Steve Sailer’s recent column about American Jewry.
10. We should emulate Vlaams Belang, the BNP, the Front National, and Geert Wilders.
Why? They haven’t accomplished anything. Muslims continue to settle to Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and the UK. The only thing they have accomplished is watering down the “Right”; thereby pushing the next generation further to the “Left.”
11. It is time to adopt a winning strategy.
The conservative movement has already adopted the philo-Semitic strategy. Its existence is arguably the single biggest cause of White racial decline since the 1960s.

Why not accept Blacks or Arabs in the WN movement? They have done far less damage to White ethnic interests than Jews have throught history.
I really liked The Civic Platform, but this is just pathetic. Judging by other things Mr. Braun has written he is fairly intelligent, so I find it very hard to believe that the nonsense in his article at MR is the real reason for his “new” thoughts on the Jewish question – not a single argument that anynone with basic knowledge would find valid.
What does Mr. Braun believe to be the point of WN if not fighting our ethnic enemies? Would Mr. Braun also suggest that we put the Cosa Nostra in charge of fighting organized crime?
Hunter Wallace 100; Braun 0. This is strange. Has Braun been “turned” by the neo-cons? It certainly seems so.
The only sensible thing that can be said in sympathy for Braun’s despair is that it is certainly true that the Semites have done a bang-up job on winning the culture wars, and handily control the political and educational establishments, AND are probably the most powerful force in finance as well. But–read HW’s comments, look around you, and shrug. “Influence” that makes no difference on basic matters is useless.
It is better to do nothing at all – retreat from the public sphere and enjoy the pleasures of private life – than to support conservatives.
Bravo!
Seems like Braun is not wanting to accept unpleasant realities. Fear has been shown to stop people from speaking and thinking objectively. We do not need people prone to fear in the movement to save the west. Fear and misinformation have put us in this position in the first place. We need the facts and we need the courage and resolve to face them. Jews look at the world differently, are following a different evolutionary path, and are the seed and fertilizer that caused our problems. This is not conjecture or theory, but an objective assessment of the situation. We cannot solve our problems by ignoring them. Like with alcoholics who need the succor of alcohol to feel better, and rationalize that they do not have a problem, people like Braun need to acknowledge we have a problem. That is the first step to recovery.
