Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein tells the story of a young scientist, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who embarks on a twisted scientific experiment to reanimate a reconstructed human corpse, creating new life. When his experiment succeeds, he is horrified by the monster he has created. The creature escapes into the world but is rejected by humanity, which sees him as an abomination. Having been condemned to such a wretched existence, the monster enacts his revenge against the man he blames for his misery, Dr. Frankenstein himself, causing the deaths of everyone his creator loves. Frankenstein and his creature meet their demise in a vicious, hate-fueled struggle against one another: the creator verses the creation. The two end up the bitterest of enemies.
Frankenstein is one of the classics of English literature. The great irony of being tormented and eventually destroyed by one’s own creation has captured the imagination of readers over the past two centuries since the novel’s publication. I found myself reminded of the story of Frankenstein during the past several weeks as the new “current thing” has emerged out of the Middle East. The never-ending Israel-Palestine conflict has flared up once again.
I am not too invested in how the conflict itself plays out. The most important thing for me is that no Western money or resources — much less lives — are devoted to either side and that no migrants from either Israel or Palestine are admitted to Western countries. I have no sympathy for the Israelis or the Palestinians, and simply wish we could stay out of it. I think that the optimal outcome is the two-state solution, both to avoid migration into the West from the region and so that there would exist states where both Palestinians and Jews could be sent in a future where European rule is restored in Western countries.
While I don’t sympathize with either the pro-Israel or pro-Palestine camp, I do find the divide which has emerged over the issue in the West rather interesting. Following the initial strikes against Israel by Hamas, Western governments, the mainstream media, and Zionist-controlled alt-media such as Rebel News and The Daily Wire predictably came out strongly on the side of the Israelis. Several conservative commentators such as the Jewish owner of The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, and his buck-broken pet Jordan Peterson made lunatics out of themselves by screaming for the genocide of Palestinians on social media.
Several days after the initial Hamas attacks, Israel launched military operations in the Gaza Strip. Both sides have accused the other of committing atrocities and a plethora of reports of such coming out of the region have already been proven false. The factual nature of any of these claims by either side is irrelevant to the point of this essay, however. In the era of the Internet, it’s extremely difficult to discern true information from false, and most people will just choose to believe whatever reaffirms their preconceived notions. Regardless of which reported atrocities are fact or fiction, there has been a large showing of support for Palestine among the public in Western countries, including large demonstrations championing the Palestinian cause.
Several polls in various Western countries bear this out. CNN reported that 50% of Americans believe Israel’s military response to Hamas is justified. However, when broken down by age, their survey showed that 81% of Americans aged 65 and over support Israel’s military actions, 56% for ages 50-54, 44% for ages 35-49, and only 27% for ages 18-34. According to Deutsche Welle, 63% of Germans believe that Israel’s policies towards Palestine are unjust. The Times of Israel claims that 56% of Britons hold at least some of what the publication considers anti-Israel sentiments. For what these polls are worth, they suggest that Israel has lost a lot of sympathy which it once had among the publics of Western countries.
Before we understand where this general attitude is coming from, we must first understand where this is not coming from. These figures are not indicative of the number of white people aware of the negative effects that Jewish influence and Zionism have had the on the group interests of peoples of European descent. While I do believe that the number whites who are both racially conscious and aware of the Jewish question has increased significantly over the past decade, the numbers aren’t nearly high enough to cause this big of a shift in attitudes. I think white advocates can take heart in the progress we’ve made towards exposing the malignant influence of Zionism in the West, but I don’t believe that we can be credited with the general public losing sympathy for Israel. Rather, I think that the organized Jewish community only have themselves to blame for that.

To explain why, we must understand the impact which Jewish influence has had on the West over the past century. In his groundbreaking book The Culture of Critique, Dr. Kevin MacDonald outlined how Jewish-led intellectual movements during the twentieth century created the present-day zeitgeist under which Jews became the most powerful group in the United States and the West. Their strategy was to break white ethnocentrism by levying a moral indictment against it through the lens of an egalitarian universalist worldview while maintaining Jewish ethnic cohesion for themselves. In the latter half of the twentieth century, Jewish particularism would be justified by their purportedly unique victimhood status following the Holocaust.
The Culture of Critique outlines several Jewish-led movements, including Boasian anthropology, which denied any innate differences between the races; psychoanalysis; critical theory, which pathologized healthy social mores among people of European descent; and the Jewish involvement in mass non-white immigration into the West. Dr. MacDonald later wrote of neoconservatism. While neoconservatism was also a Jewish-led movement, he noted that it was somewhat of a departure from the worldview advanced by the aforementioned ones. The goal of neoconservatism was to harness the military power of the United States and its allies in order to serve the geopolitical interests of the State of Israel. So again, serving Jewish interests was at its core, but neoconservatism relied on a slightly different set of values — faux patriotism, national security, spreading democracy, etc. — to justify doing so.
Present-day clown world is the result of several decades of the ideas advanced by these intellectual movements holding sway over the ruling class in the West. While Jews are not solely responsible, they’ve played a pivotal role in mass non-white immigration into the West (including Muslims), inculcating ethnic resentment among non-whites, and instilling a universalist, egalitarian worldview into the white majorities of Western countries. This inadvertently laid the foundation for the Left-wing pro-Palestine movement in the West which seems to have taken a sizeable amount of sympathy away from the cause of Zionism.
Israel is a glaring contradiction of the values which the organized Jewish community has advocated for Western countries. Israel is an explicitly Jewish ethnostate that is unafraid of asserting the Jewish dominance over the country, often by violent means. For decades, this has been justified by narratives of Jewish suffering during the Second World War. However, it seems now that the ability of Jewish victimhood narratives to win sympathy for Israel’s actions in Palestine is wearing thin. The new generation, for whom the Second World War is a faded memory of little importance, have proven a lot less sympathetic to the Jewish state.
The pro-Palestine camp in the West can be divided into three parts. First, there are white Leftists who have fully embraced the universalist egalitarian worldview which the organized Jewish community has been instrumental in promoting. While they promoted this worldview as a Machiavellian ploy to undermine white ethnocentrism and transfer power to their own ethnic group, white Leftists — and even some Leftist Jews — have become true believers in this ideology and no longer support an exemption for the State of Israel.
This could simply be the result of the amount of time which has passed since the war. It also could be because Jews have been decentered from the white guilt narrative and replace primarily by blacks as the biggest victim group. The most powerful pieces of propaganda for the previous generation were movies such as Schindler’s List, Life Is Beautiful, or The Pianist. For those who came of age more recently, the most powerful pieces of propaganda in their time were Get Out, Django Unchained, and 12 Years a Slave. Another factor could be that alleged Jewish suffering is framed as historical, while the alleged suffering of black people and other non-white groups is said to be both historical and in the present.
Secondly, there are Arabs and other Muslims in the pro-Palestine camp. They are simply supporting their own ethnic and religious in-group.
Thirdly, there are other non-white groups in the West in the pro-Palestine movement. They likewise feel no sympathy for alleged Jewish suffering throughout history because they haven’t been bashed over the head with guilt over it for decades. On the contrary, they have been told that they are the ultimate victims and that they are the ones who are owed sympathy.
Jewish activism has played no small part in both bringing non-whites to the West and putting them on a pedestal above the native white populations. While it might seem counter-intuitive, this is also true for Muslims, despite their general hostility to Jews. A few years back, Horus made several videos detailing the Jewish role in Muslim immigration to Britain and the promotion of Muslims and Islam throughout the country. While there is significant hostility between Israel and Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East, in countries such as Britain, Jewish elites have used Muslims as a hammer with which to bash the white majority.
It is important to understand that Jews and people of European descent are separate groups, both genetically and culturally. Jews are not white. However, the pro-Palestine movement (incorrectly) views Israelis as white, mirroring the racial oppression narrative applied to Western countries — which again, Jews have played a significant role in propagating, only this time the same narrative is being turned back against them by the very people they inculcated it into.

Thus, the pro-Palestine movement can be seen as something of a Frankenstein monster for the organized Jewish community in the West. They played a vital role in creating and promoting the worldview which forms the basis of the support for Palestine as well as in increasing the demographic numbers of those who sympathize with this cause. Now, this movement is out of their control and poses a serious threat to continued Western support for Israel in the future.
This isn’t the first time that this has happened ,either. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Jews were crucial to the creation and propagation of Communism, an earlier universalist egalitarian creed. They had a central role in the Russian Revolution of 1917 and held a huge amount of power in the early Soviet regime of the 1920s and ’30s. However, much like today, Jewish particularism eventually became a problem for the Communist system, which wanted to eliminate national and ethnic loyalties. This especially became an issue following the formation of the State of Israel in 1948, when Zionism among Soviet Jews became seen as loyalty to a foreign state. The power of Jews in the Soviet Union rapidly declined in the later decades of the era, and most Soviet Jews would eventually emigrate to Israel. So again, as with Frankenstein and his monster, a system which they played no small part in creating eventually turned against them.
There is a white pill in all of this, but it’s important not to draw the wrong conclusions. Despite what some overweight Telegram neo-Nazi with a Third Reich-inspired pseudonym and Palestinian flag in his bio will tell you, those in the pro-Palestine movement are most certainly not allies of white advocates. They are equally as anti-white as any Zionist. The divide between the pro-Palestine and pro-Israel camps in the West is over whether or not Israel will get an exemption from the toxicity of globalist values. Zionists support these values for every country except Israel. The pro-Palestine movement supports these values for every country, including Israel. The only thing they disagree on is whether Israelis will get lumped into the “white oppressor” category or not.
The white pill in all of this is that the Israel-Palestine issue is a fissure in the anti-white coalition. Zionists, Islamists, and third worldists might have some common ground in that they are all anti-white, but beyond that, they have diverging interests which come into conflict with each other. The system could have a harder time juggling its various client groups going forward, because the glue which holds their coalition together might not be all that strong.
I stand by my position that what comes of the Israel-Palestine conflict is largely irrelevant. However, we should exploit the conflict as an opportunity to drive a wedge between the various factions among our enemies. The organized Jewish community lobbies for the United States and its allies to go to war against Muslim-majority countries that are hostile to Israel in the Middle East, while also pushing for the importation and promotion of Muslims in the West. They play both sides. We can, too.
We should use the State of Israel and its treatment of Palestinians in contrast to the values which Zionists prescribe for the West as an illustration of their fundamental dishonesty and hypocrisy. Why do they advocate one policy for their own people and a different one for everyone else? We should use Western government’s unwavering support for Israel in spite of public opinion to exemplify how the loyalties of our politicians don’t lie with us, but rather with a foreign country. Why are they so concerned with the security of Israelis in the Middle East, but couldn’t care less about the security of their own citizens?
At the same time, we should also use Hamas and their supporters in the West to bolster arguments against Muslim immigration, and perhaps even start a conversation about deportations. We should likewise help direct the fury of the Jewish censorship-industrial complex away from ourselves and towards anti-white third worldists for their support for Palestine. For example, if you’re a university student, get the Jewish students’ group to go after the local Black Lives Matter chapter for their rhetoric about Israel. Who knows? Maybe they’ll even get the Anti-Defamation League involved. You’d be redirecting the time and resources they usually spend on harassing white advocates towards anti-whites, and it also has the potential to get an anti-white organization shut down (albeit for the wrong reasons).
Dr. Goldenstein created the anti-white legion as a monster to terrorize us. But in a twist of irony, that monster has now turned against him. The creator and his creation find themselves in a battle against each other. Let the two of them fight it out. We only stand to gain from it.

I think it best our people stay out of this. Pro-Whites are considered pariahs by both sides. Even the appearance of taking a side hurts the side we’ve taken. Being seen as instigators of friction simply allows the different sides to return to their anti-White campaign.
If a pro-White really feels compelled to get involved, it should be as a trickster supporting all sides.
The idea of ‘taking a side’ in such a situation is a moral framing Whites should just ignore.
What happens to these people only matters if it adversely affects Whites.
I believe that your view is correct. There’s not much that we can do to drive the wedge deeper. Attempts to do so are likely to turn negative attention our way. The wedge is there. Our enemies are driving it deeper themselves. Sure, if an opportunity arises where pointing out the existence of the wedge beneftis us, take it. Otherwise, stand back and enjoy the show.
There’s a very telling precursor to the Frankenstein story, which is the legend of the golem. Funny thing, the way it works out in mythology – with the golem becoming self-aware and turning on its creator – happens again and again in history, just like now.
David Cole’s “Stop With the Golems, Already!” article is aging pretty well right about now. I’m surprised the pro-Palestinian crowd hasn’t ran with the “mostly peaceful protest” angle on this. Those chickens are certainly coming home to roost.
October 7th has certainly opened a big Pandora’s box for left wing Jewish subversives. In that the hypocrisy is pretty blatant at this point. The ADL memory holed its statement about how Israel shouldn’t subvert (yes, they actually used that word) it’s sovereignty by taking in Palestinian refugees. Of course, they and other leftist Jews are fine when white countries subvert their sovereignty by letting in Muslim migrants. That being said, it should also be considered that there are plenty of white leftists who also agree with this. Sure, there is Barbara Spectre in Sweden but does she really have that much power? I think David Cole’s most recent column offers a sobering look at things, ending with, “In the end, it ain’t about Jew. It’s about you.”
So it’s the dictum of don’t interrupt your opponent when he’s making a mistake. Kind of like how BLM and antifa was nowhere to be found on January 6th. Blue district with lots of blacks meaning a black jury pool with white Trump supporters causing a ruckus… The left is likely going to cannibalize itself over this. Arab/Muslim groups are already saying they won’t for Biden over his not calling for a ceasefire. The Arab/Muslim groups will cry Islamaphobia while the Jewish groups will cry anti-Semitism. The proof will be in the pudding that all these dastardly alt-right types circa 2015-2016 criticizing diversity and mass migration were right after all.
I haven’t been following him in a while. However, I do recall that “Enough with the golems” was a good essay.
I’m suddenly reminded of that old video game Vampire: the Masquerade where a French and a German knight have to defeat the golem running amok in the Jewish quarter. Oh, the irony…
I haven’t seen that one, but I must say that sounds rather daring by the game developers!
Well, it was released in the early 2000s when the world was still a somewhat better place. And I doubt the developers had any political messaging in mind. Still, looking back at it from today’s perspective, it’s… uncanny.
Great piece. I agree with every commenter here. In regards to instigating, I do think we can do some nudging. One example would be to use existing info out there to point the monster to the source of the Dr. That is, the info on all of the dual citizens and their kin in the Biden, Obama and Bush cabinets. The photo exists. Drop it into loads of channels. Go to a student discussion and innocently ask a question that states the facts on it and throws questions into the room. Post the AIPAC video celebrating bipartisanship into loads of channels.
The tweet exists of them taking a photo of themselves celebrating how many of them constitute the Biden admin and calling it diversity and inclusion. Drop the info about how the lobby has passed anti-boycott legislation in nearly every state. That could backfire and get them swarming into local things. So be careful with that one. It has to be very calculated.
In other words, the monster is dumb. It is parroting things and focused on the power they have no access to. It could be very helpful to teach it that the power’s vassal, that enables its shenanigans, is fully infiltrated and pulling strings. This would then force the, “conservatives”, to defend treason that the greater public now has clear knowledge of putting them in a pincer between the monster and the real right.
There are also fault lines between the subversives and geniune friends of The West. For example, I just saw that Gad Saad has tweet repeating Demography is destiny many times. I don’t have Twitter, but he is ripe for a reply of Shapiro saying he doesn’t care about the browning of America. You could also add a reply with Hamza Yousef denouncing whites on Parliament’s floor.
The entire leftist project has many fault lines and fissures that can be helped along.
I think we should continue to tell the truth. Counter-Currents is already on the right track. This is how we’ll gain an advantage.
Honest and honorable pro-White propagandists make connections in the minds of our people between things that are real and really are connected. For example, when we point to Jewish influence and the antiwhite effects of Jewish influence, those things are real and the connections are real. Whites who learn to see this are not deluded, we are more enlightened than we were. That is why we are truth-tellers and we should be proud of ourselves.
In order to uphold the antiwhite narrative and attack each other, the Jewish supremacist antiwhites and the no-exceptions antiwhites are using repetition and mass media power to create mental associations that are untrue, unreal, and increasingly bizarre. This will make them vulnerable to mockery and to competition from people who are telling the truth, which we are.
Jews hate the nations, literally the goyim, but they, Jews, pretend that their enemies are all Hollywood Nazis. They, the Jews, are trying to combine this contradictory fantasy with a situation where they, the aggressive and militaristic Jews, are committing war crimes on relatively powerless brown people in little Gaza. It goes like this:
https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/essays-and-commentaries/israels-pearl-harbor/
For the Israelis, October 7th is their day of infamy. It is for this reason that the Israeli ambassador put on a yellow star yesterday, similar to the Star of David the Nazis forced Jews to wear, but with the words “Never Again” emblazoned thereon. He then bluntly told the appeasers at the United Nations:
Israel has made its choice. We were attacked by the Hamas Nazis. We were shown that genocide and Jew hatred did not die with Hitler. It bubbled and grew until it invaded our homeland. But the difference between 1939 and today is that today Jews have a strong state and a powerful military. We are not defenseless. We are Lions of Judah and we will defend ourselves against those that seek to annihilate us.
So, aggressive militaristic Jewish supremacists are visibly framing themselves as the victims of the representatives of the states of the world at the United Nations, with representatives from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and so on effectively told to see themselves as Hollywood Nazis for not siding with Israel.
This is typically vigorous Jewish propaganda, but it’s based on creating false associations. It’s non-credible. It’s jarring. It’s bizarre. It will appeal to wealthy and powerful Jews but not to the Black, brown, and Asian people being framed and shamed as Hollywood Nazis.
We can out-compete that kind of propaganda. We can win by calling attention to our issues, which are real issues about the fate of our race. Even though the Jews have the money, the media, and the institutions, and we have none of these things, we can present facts and honest arguments supporting our contention that our issues are the real issues, and the Jews are not willing to do the same.
White genocide is real, and Greg Johnson wrote a very good article explaining why it is real.
Innocent little Israel standing up like brave little David against the bullying Goliath of the Gaza Strip is not real.
It’s sort of interesting that the Frankenstein story is based upon the story of the golem of Prague, which actually allegorizes a reckless Jewish defense against antisemites! Mary Shelley got the idea for Frankenstein from her husband, the poet Shelley. The story goes that during a thunderstorm, within a villa in Italy, Byron, Shelley, and Mary Shelley and some doctor decided to tell ghost stories to pass the time. Byron told the first vampire story, and Shelley told the story of Frankenstein, which was based upon the legend of the golem of Prague. The doctor wrote the first vampire novel from Byron’s story, and Mary Shelley took Frankenstein and wrote her book.
In the golem of Prague, a rabbi animates a clay statue as a defense against antisemites. Certain powerful rabbis were able to create a clay golem, sort of like a robotic soldier, so the legend goes. Other golems have been created other times. The statue kills all the antisemites, but then goes haywire and starts attacking everyone. Clearly, the story allegorizes certain actual Jewish practices, and as such, it’s no accident that the Frankenstein story, which derives from the golem of Prague, so aptly applies to the Muslim populations which have been introduced into western societies in order to weaken antisemitism! In so many words, the Frankenstein story really is about this situation! Similar to how the matrix so well applies to white nationalism, with the red pilling and all. At an esoteric level that’s really what the matrix was originally about! Fascinating!
Other stories, which are based in the golem of Prague might include the dark Phoenix saga in X-Men. A very careful Kabbalistic interpretation of that story could be written, but in short, one of the X-Men conjures and irresistible power in order to defend the X-Men, but then goes haywire under the influence of her power. The power is later contained, but circumstances drive that it has to be used again. The choice is made that the power is preferable to the alternative.
Another idea: the media-political complex is largely in zionist hands and tries to push the self-preserving-at-all-costs narrative. They are more relevant for Whites as they have access to most of them, unlike the brown counter-narrative. While they are at it, we can use some propagandistic Wing Chun on them, not blocking their message (they are used to that) but sligthly redirecting it.
Our slogan could be: “Israelize the West!” Yes to all their zionist propaganda, but we want in on it. Any argument they use for themselves we amplify yet vehemently add us into it. And instead of them using our commonalities to get us to fight for them, we argue that we stick together by adopting Israeli solutions (and their apologetics) in the West. (Laws favoring the founding stock, robust remigration, hard border control, and much more).
“Jews and Canadians and Icelanders have a holy right to their sacred Homelands!”
“Israel and Germany need to fight Hamas and Turkish Grey Wolves at every turn!”
“The israeli race-based migration scheme is a beautiful and universal solution to all our Western states and will save Jews and Whites from islamic Subversion!”
This will create a dilemma for them as they cannot countersignal us without looking really selfish and hurting themselves. Effectively this means we can go full throttle ‘remigration’ without getting blocked or punished.
