The Roots of Europe Antisemitism



Europe Antisemitism have a face of total intolerance, the root can be trace to the first rupture in happen in first council convey by Constantine I in 325 AD, where two set of rules created a differentiation between Christianity and The Jews, Christian did not required the circumcision to be part of Christianity, and second to deny any hope: Jews cannot own slaves, up to this time, Rome was built on the shoulders of Slaves, moreover, not peasant from the Jewish fate could compete with such free labor cost.
On the other hand Julian of the Apostate or Julian the Philosopher (361-363), wanted to return Rome to previous Pagan, by them it was obvious to Julian, the Bishop of Rome, was collecting power, and Christianity, to stop the natural intolerance of Christianity, Julian wanted rational and tolerance society, Julian took advices from Philosophers and to destroy the Myth of Christianity the exile of the Jews from Jerusalem was a sign God rejection (Julian death from combat wounds by Sassanid forces. Julian Tomb as located in Tarsus today Syria) . Julian in his conflict with Persia, began the Temple foundations in 363, the  work stop due to the Galilee Earth Quake in 363.
The physical legalization of creation of the other, took place not but Christianity but, by the Umayyad Caliphate, give Christians, Jews and Zoroastrian a legally protected status as second-class citizens as long as they accepted and acknowledged the political supremacy of the ruling Muslims, a dhimma contract was created, besides of the Poll Tax or Jizya tax. To differentiate an introduction of colors in 717 by the Pact Umar stipulated the Christians need to be identify using the blue color, and 850 a decree of the Abbassid Caliph Al-Mutawakkil, reported by the 10th century historian Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, requires Christian and Jewish subjects to wear honey-coloured hoods and belts of a particular type.
Fourth Council of the Lateran headed by Pope Innocent III ruled in 1215 that Jews and Muslims must wear distinguishable dress. In German-speaking Europe, a requirement for a badge was less common than the Judenhute or Pileum cornutum (a cone-shaped head dress). In 1267, in a special session, the Vienna city council required Jews to wear a Judenhut; the badge does not seem to have been worn in Austria. There is a reference to a dispensation from the badge in Erfurt on 16 October 1294, the earliest reference to the badge in Germany.
Today, Iran and other Islamic countries have or trying to introduces or reintroduce the Poll Taxes, Iran have a Poll Taxes since 1980s and Islamic Stated in Iraq and the Levant introduced the  dhimma contract, and the Taliban force the Hindu minority in Afghanistan to used Yellow color to be identify is non-belivers.

Summer End 2014


Anti-Semitism in Antiquity and the Other



The problem of being up-rooted from one place to another, whether through war, political or economic, is the initial settlers created the myth of the other, up to the destruction of the first temple, a sense of the identity and belonging is created, Derrida in Written and  Difference: “madness made into the objective of the exile”; Walter Benjamin (Marxist with libertarian tendencies): “Messianic intensity of the heart, of inner man in isolation, passes through misfortune, as suffering; Martin Buber in Path in Utopia describing Gustav Landauer in his inside about state: “ The state is not an institution can be destroy is mention by Kropotkin, bua human a condition”. The exile is a condition, uprooted and creates the other, if a sense of real or imaginary exists before the other, then the other need to be created.
Anti-Semitism is a condition to delegitimize, for Christianity and Islam; it’s needed because both of them need to delegitimize the covenanted between Israel and their God. For the left especially the authoritarian Marxist left, the other cannot exits, because the patriarchal control is not room for poets and dissenters.
Hebrew tradition is rooted in the land, and the not just religious, but a political social. In the first exile, because outside their stable control environment, and now your believe is challenge and question, more important outside of the power of the exile. The first description in the mythology is book Esther, where the Judah and Benjamin was to suffer a completed genocide, and the tradition said the book need to need to read is letter, because you never know what will happen (you never have control of your own destiny). 
Another recorded incident in the Elephantine Island existed a Jewish Garrison under command of the Egyptian Pharaoh (after to serve the Persian Empire),  (a Temple similar to the Jerusalem, was build, where the sacrifices perform in Jerusalem were done on this place) from the time of the first temple in the year 410 BCE,  the local priest of the God Chum and the Persian commander Vidagraph with a small army Native Egyptians enter the temple and burn the roof, destroy the gates, columns and candles, the reason of the attack, because the sacrifices of the lambs in Passover, since for the Egyptians the lamb was a holy Animal. There was a Jewish revolt and the Persian allots to rebuild the Temple in 470 BCE. 
 The next incident is story of the Maccabees, where the Hellenistic philosophy (Internationalisation of Greek philosophy, which was exclusive only to the Greeks) in the Zealotry not native challenge was allot.
  By 286-246 BCE, about 150,000 Jews live in Alexandria, in 217 BCE a legend tells story Alexandria visit Jerusalem were impress with the Temple wanted to build a similar structure in Alexandria, they were told if the will sacrifices to Dionysus will be allot, they refuse, the story tell 500 Jews were taken and toppled by Elephants, whether was truth or not, in 38 Ce after 70 years after Egypt was part of the Roma Empire, the Jewish according to Philo of Alexandria (20 CBE-50 CE), declare loyalty to Caligula (38 Years old)  when become Emperor, the Greeks despise the Jews (because the Loyalty to Rome, the Jewish under the Greeks, did not wanted to assimilated to Hellenism and Greeks resented the unwilling of assimilation, and gave loyalty to Rome) and Egyptians because the loyalty to Rome gave the Jews certain privilege which Egyptians did not have, the Jewish King Herod Aggripa visited Alexandria on a mission on behalf of the Roman Emperor, the population demanded the statue of Caligula should be place inside of synagogues, the Roman Governor encourage the population ended with a plan assault to the Jewish population , at the time Jewish population leave in 5 quarters, is prescribes by the Romans. The Jewish population was trap and club, burn, Philo Flaccus the Rome Governor did nothing the Jewish council was arrested and some crucifies as Roman tradition after the assassination of Galicula, Cladius stop the persecution, but this incident open to the next situation after the destruction of the Temple 70 CE, Rome wanted to delegitimize the Jews to any claim to Jerusalem become Aelia Capitolina (the new city was dedicated to Jupiter Capitolinus: the supreme Gd of the Jews was now under the supreme god of Rome), the colony build under Hadrian, based on the ruins of Jerusalem, but the more important factor in the delegitimize was change from Judea name to Palestine, Rome name for the Phoenicians (in Hebrew story, Philistine--people of the sea, where the descents of the Crete and Tyros) , so the Jews and his dependent will not have a political claim to the Judea.

The Negative Theology of Islam and Christianity



While, religions proclaim some ethical frame (Morality is behaviour base on the society values at the time). Because Judaism proclaim chosen people, therefore a direct connection to a God (Elitism—since conversions are part Judaism like any religion, there is not an exclusion base on race), Christianity by creating their Messiah not just a salvation, but God itself, and Jerusalem conquest in 637 by Caliph Umar, (Mohamad death was in June 2, 632—Mohamad never set a food in Jerusalem, but in his fantasy, and Mohamad made the make a claim receive the Koran, from Gabriel, by the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem). When Christianity proclaim their Messiah is a God and Mohamad made claim to Jerusalem, because they wanted the Chosen people mantel.
When Jews rejected Christianity as the New Covenant with God, to Islam conquest of Jerusalem, Jews where not allot to leave in Jerusalem, and 2000 Years of Anti-Semitism, began, when Anti-Semitism become secular, and used pseudo-science of Race to Justify Genocide, in recent book: “The Pope and Mussolini”, Kertzer, show the Rome Catholic reaction was not against Anti-Semitism, but the Fascist began to use the race Anti-Semitism, not the Theological Anti-Semitism. In other hand the Luther Reformation where he advocated the Genocide of the Jews become the Theological Justification by the National Socialist Party of Germany.
Islam reaction to the Jews not accepted their version was more wile, in the Koran in 5 versos (Sura), the stones will scream here is the Jew and then you can kill him. In the same token Islam created laws for second class (Dhimni-the law does not applied to pagans):,Jews and Christians have traditionally been considered "People of the Book," and afforded a special status known as dhimmi derived from a theoretical contract—"dhimma" or "residence in return for taxes. The same Islam, who said to consider the Christian as your friends and Jews your enemy. The Dhimni were original created to apply to the Christians in Islamic land and extended to the Jews. The argument the Christian will not fight Christians in behalf of Islam, so the pay special tax to support the Islamic Armies, where in the Poem about Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar Cid (1043-1099), a Christian Mercenary fighting in behalf of the Caliph of Andalusia, and fought in behalf of Castilla, Aragon made name against the  Almovar in North Africa.
The seeds for overthought of the Islamic Brotherhood, was base Egypt political structure--- base on the Pan-Arabism of the Baath (Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party-in Arabic means resuraction or resistance) party model after National Socialist of Germany, founded in Syria by Michel Aflaq (Greek Orthodoyx and Communist), Salah al-Din al-Bitar (Sunni and extreme racist—believe the master race is the Arbs) and  Zaki al-Arsuzi (Sunni and Nationalist), where Islamic Brotherhood, like political Islam there is not room for anyone except Islam, the influence in Egypt and Syria of the Baath party, revolt many intellectuals and middle class, where Arabs not Islam is the bond. In Syria where as according Human Right of Syria as June 2014, between 120,000 to 170,000 Civilians are death, 20,000 combats, where Asad (the Syrian Regime supported by Russia, Iran and Lebanon Shia Militia) use Chemical Weapons in 4 occasions, Sarin (Nerve Gas) in Ghouta 21 August 2013, (between 2791 to 1791 victims) and Chloride Acid, investigated and confirm by UN inspectors.
Political Islam effects are in new Caliph in Levant, where in Mosul Christians after 2,000 Year, there options are converting; pay the pool taxes or death. Yazidism, Kurds, 200,000 are in the run. Pakistan, Malaysia, Iran, Saudi Arabia Islamic law is applied where non-Muslins are defacto are second class citizens.  
The Anti-Semitism is so vivid the Hamas spoke men:  Osama Hamdan on comments he made suggesting that Jews killed Christians and mixed their blood in holy matzo.
http://situationroom.blogs.cnn.com/2014/08/04/wolf-challenges-hamas-leader/?hpt=sr_bn2
The Spanish writer  Galan en piece in the Spanish Magazine El Mundo, the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 is Justify due to the Conflict with Hamas in Gaza, and Italian Intellectual, which basically he Will kill Jews (not different between Israel and Jews). Spain still under spell of Christian Antisemitic, Franco Fascist Ghost (The fantasist included the National Socialism Antisemitic concepts). Spain society is Antisemitic, and left in Europe, the nature of the left is Antisemitic. Stalin Ghost, and Russia 18 Century nationalism- combine with the Antisemitism in the Russia Orthodox, was carry by Communist party, the 1950´s purges of Stalin, but for the Left, especially the Authoritarian left, there is not room for contrariness, the fact Jews will not submitted to the will of the few Master (Orwell Animal Farm), for the left the Jews surviving by intellectual and commerce there is not room for their fantasy of the working class--peasant class. The Left cannot accept, the pseudo-science (Economics has been Astrology of Science) of dialectic materialism, where historical order to Justify the power of the few (Communist Party leadership). Today Putin Russia is trying to recreated this Fantasy, what Putin forgotten, Bakunin said you gave absolute power to peasant, he will be worse than Tsar.

Boundaries



We live in societies which love to created boundaries, and the reason is for power relationships. The boundaries manifest in different ways sometimes with artificial geography boundaries, like Nations, Empires or social boundaries, class axes to the hierarchy inherent nepotism, or exclusion zones, because race, creed, believe, ideology or simple class. The boundaries of the 21 Century is part of complex creation, from Rome, created the empire boundaries, after the revolt in Judea in the first century, Rome wanted to deny the inhabitant any political and geography boundary, change Jerusalem name for Aelia Capitolina (the Rome colony created by Hadrian-under control of the 10th Legion), and the Judah Temple into Zeus Temple, and the territory into Palestine (Greek name of the Phoenicia), because the divine right for governance, Christianity and Islam, created the first define boundaries, or exclusion zones, where, in the boundary the individual are under rules. Empires created under divine right of nomination was not exclusive to Islam or Christianity, India (Hindu and Buddhist, or monks running the state Tibet, China (Emperor was a God), Japan (the idea of the God Emperor one reason for WWII and Japanese Brutality against China, Korea as one of the many), Thailand as many always, in the 20 Century, the boundaries where created under an artificial expedient for political reasons, defined by economics and power.
The emigration of  groups, due to internal and external political, economics, ethnic, religion class, race, and can be trace for this divine right, in the name of any God  or Gods humans had brought their own misery, not boundaries is to brake from chain of being slave to the hierarchy. The immigration of the south to the north, in US due to the 20th century US interfering in the internal affairs, in the 1980´s Nicaragua, El Salvador, in the 1970´s Chile, Argentina, in the 1960 Brazil. Europe, France interference in North Africa, and colonization, created crises taken many years to developed.

Crises in Higher Education of USA



The problem with the US higher education is not the PISA test, because the test is total irrelevant, the gate keepers, which their job is to control and maintain the hierarchy, for the elite of the specific place and time, as Dr DÁngelo, what had happen to US Education, is as business, where the objective is to published (the publishers are self-appointed to serve the elites in the hierarchy power structure): Academia is all about ambitious, vain, upper middle to upper class professionals (faculty) competing with one another for fame, recognition, power and status, and very little about learning, truth, wisdom or educating students. The education in US is over rated have consequences, the arrogance of the Economist, where the ideology forgot the first question of the Scientific Methods, is to question Authority and second to question yourself (in some way should be the first question), where Chicago Economic School since FDR created a control Mechanism to appease the working class in the 1930´s ready to establish a state based in the Soviets, but since the 1990´s when (began in the 1980´s with Regan) lifting the controls and given the economic collapse of 2008, creating a permanent under-class. The fantasy of the upper mobility in the US has come to end. But not just economics in 2000´s US felt and used September 11 an excuse and made a great political error in the global strategy with invasion of Iraq, and now the situation in Syria being dismember and the action spill to Iraq, where Iraq is 3 groups, the capricious action of the British Empire of 1900´s come to end and not help from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where both are self-delusional in the extreme right of both groups with Messianic disillusions.
But, is not just in global stage, but in small scale the pressure for tax monies is private resources, producing ideologies in sciences, where the managers reward, only the ones who fit their ideology-stereotype (whether Race,  Gender or Religion). This pressure have created measure ethical challenge, because the monies in case in Drugs by Pharmaceutical where not drugs produce by then have done not wrong and with consequences where patients have done from this drugs. Even in the elite science trying to supress anyone who does not follow the ideology of the day, only time, when the advocates faze out or the ideas not perform, the problem they are victims, from 2008 economic meltdown, close 2 Million Families lost their homes, Higher Education cost has become a privilege and the Republican Party (supported by Democrats) has created a global stage of chaos. 
The crises in the higher education in US is the crises of identity of the society, the free market religion has take over everything, leaving the 99% with nothing.
