TradCatKnight: The Holocaust replaces Golgotha with Auschwitz

…by Jonas E. Alexis

Israel Shamir once argued that the Holocaust is in reality “an adaptation of the Jewish spiritual rule for Christian minds, as it replaces Christ with Israel, Golgotha with Auschwitz, and the Resurrection with the creation of the Jewish state.”[1]
If you think this is far-fetched, then listen to Charles Krauthammer very carefully. He declared that it “has become increasingly common for American Jews to locate their identity in the Holocaust.”[2]
If your identity is located in the so-called Holocaust, then whenever a person does not emphasis the Holocaust too much,  you get paranoid. You’re likely to get depressed and inconsolable. And Krauthammer is not exempt from this depressing state.

“The Holocaust,” he wrote in the Washington Post last year, “forms an ineradicable element of my own Jewish consciousness.”[3] But Krauthammer, without sober thought, moved on to posit this implicit contradiction in the very next breath:
“But I worry about the balance. As Jewish practice, learning and knowledge diminish over time, my concern is that Holocaust memory is emerging as the dominant feature of Jewishness in America.
“I worry that a people with a 3,000-year history of creative genius, enriched by intimate relations with every culture from Paris to Patagonia, should be placing such weight on martyrdom — and indeed, for this generation, martyrdom once removed.”[4]

You see, the Holocaust is a new religion, with its own priesthood (Holocaust establishment) and dogmas.
If this seems outrageous, then just take a casual look at what has just happened a few days ago. The White House has just commemorated the Holocaust Remembrance Day, but Trump made a cardinal mistake by not mentioning Jews. Trump released a statement noting his “heavy heart and somber mind” to
“remember and honour the victims, survivors and heroes of the Holocaust. It is impossible to fully fathom the depravity and horror inflicted on innocent people by Nazi terror. Yet, we know that in the darkest hours of humanity, light shines the brightest. As we remember those who died, we are deeply grateful to those who risked their lives to save the innocent.”[6]
According to the received wisdom, Trump should have mentioned Jews because the statement implicitly leaves room for major historical scenarios such as Stalin’s genocide. For the Holocaust establishment, there is only one Holocaust that deserves respect and love and friendship. Nothing else will do.
