Bobby Fischer in later years.

1,418 words

In 1992, former world champion chess player Bobby Fischer became a criminal. An American citizen, he violated US economic sanctions against the then-nation of Yugoslavia by playing a rematch there against his old rival, Boris Spassky. In a press conference before the match, he spat on the letter from the US government which demanded he not participate. Despite twenty years of inactivity, he won the match 10 games to 4, earned $3.5 million, and in typical Fischer fashion, declared that he had successfully defended the title which he had in fact vacated in 1975.

There’s a scene in the 1981 film adaptation of Chaim Potok’s novel The Chosen in which our protagonists — two Jewish teenagers — run into a gang of young gentile toughs in 1940s New York. The gentile toughs proceed to beat the shit out of the two Jewish kids, all the while spewing anti-Jewish abuse. This scene left a lasting impression on me in my youth. How could people be so hateful and vicious? Why would anyone have a grudge against these kids? And what do they have against Jews anyway? Haven’t they been through enough already? (more…)

Among the secular diaspora Jews in the West, a useful distinction can be made. There are those who will give Right-wing whites some benefit of the doubt, and there are those who won’t. The former group we can call “pragers,” and the latter we can call “foxmans.”

Let’s assume that the vast majority of both pragers and foxmans are ethnocentric: that is, they identify ethnically as Jews and exist on the Right-wing side of their own politics. This ethnocentrism manifests itself in two ways: either honestly, by being pro-Jewish or pro-Israeli, or dishonestly, by being anti-white. (more…)

It’s striking how cherry-picking can hone the pen of a propagandist and disguise malice behind a veneer of reason.
