There&#8217;s even a book about it <em>The Epic Struggle to Save Soviet Jewry<\/em>. Oy vey! The primary driver for this is undoubtedly the prevailing anti-Russian narrative but I suspect that there are other reasons as well. Like increasing numbers of goyim awakening to the preponderant role played by Jews in inflicting the catastrophe of Communism on the unfortunate people of the SU (and elsewhere).<\/h5>\n<h5>I have a rule of thumb which says that if Jews are pushing an agenda we can <em>ipso facto<\/em> assume it&#8217;s bad for us. Hence we need the information to counter it. The claims of persecution are based on first, the number of Jews that came to grief in the Great Purge of the thirties, and second on the persecution Jews suffered from the beginning of the fifties and onwards. It&#8217;s important to understand that their ethnicity had nothing to do with those Jews purged in the thirties. Stalin&#8217;s goal was the elimination of the Old Bolsheviks, especially those with lingering attachment to Trotsky, many if not most of whom were Jewish. During WW II and its immediate aftermath Jews continued to play a leading role in Soviet politics and culture.<\/h5>\n<h5>While the SU was one of the first countries to offer the new state of Israel <em>de jure<\/em> recognition it soon became clear to Stalin that the sympathies of the SU&#8217;s Jews lay more with Israel than with the SU. Stalin began to murmur about a &#8216;fifth column&#8217; operating within the country. This suspicion went into overdrive when important Jewish organisations began agitating for Crimea to be handed over as a &#8216;Jewish homeland&#8217; within the USSR. As happens frequently, and in my opinion is happening again today, the Jews failed to realise the resentment they were generating. This was exacerbated by the kind of nepotism we see in the West and by the emergence of cheeky and rebellious films and plays &#8211; the arts,\u00a0<em>quelle surprise<\/em>, was an arena which they dominated. But Stalin didn&#8217;t like being poked and quickly had the most prominent &#8216;artists&#8217; arrested or killed. This was coupled with a systematic removal of Jews from key positions especially in the security services.<\/h5>\n<h5>Naturally the Jews fought back and Stalin became convinced they were out to kill him &#8211; the so-called Doctors&#8217; Plot. There may well have been such a plot but the important thing was that Stalin thought there was. At which point he conveniently died (or was killed) in 1953. Whereas the restrictions were considerably eased after his death Jews never recovered their pre-eminent position in the SU and a cloud of suspicion clung to them even when they succeeded in reaching important positions. As the collapse of Communism approached in the late eighties Jews, displaying the national loyalty for which they&#8217;re famous, jumped ship for the West, citing unbearable anti-Semitic persecution as the cause. And we know how that worked out for us.<\/h5>\n<h5>So in summary the story of Jewish persecution in the SU is just another blatantly misleading and self-serving trope deployed against us. We need to nail it whenever we get the chance.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/irishsavant.blogspot.com\/2019\/07\/anti-semitism-in-soviet-union.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irish Savant has a rule of thumb that says that if Jews are pushing an agenda we can ipso facto assume that it&#8217;s bad for us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":150,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Hidden_and_Revisionist_History","category-Israel_Anti-Semitism_Zionism_and_US-UK_allies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/150"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=192497"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":192499,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192497\/revisions\/192499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=192497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=192497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=192497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
