I advocate ethnic nationalism because it is generally the best way to secure two values that conflict when subsumed under a larger state or empire: cultural diversity and peace. Multiculturalism leads to conflict. Reducing ethnic diversity through separation leads to peace and allows different peoples to flourish in their own sovereign homelands.

Why then isn't Israel, the Jewish state, another Slovenia or Denmark: a peaceful, prosperous, largely homogeneous country that few people even think about — as opposed to a pariah state, hated by its neighbors and always on the brink of starting World War III?

The main reason is twofold: 1. Israel is ethnically diverse, with millions of Palestinians under its highly abusive control. 2. Israel is capable of maintaining highly abusive relationships with its neighbors because of the backing of the United States and other Western countries.

Israel does not secure the backing of the United States like any other ally: through quid pro quo dealings. Instead, the United States extends unconditional, one-way support to Israel because of the strength of the Jewish diaspora community in the United States.

Israel will remain a ticking time bomb until the power of the American Jewish community to dictate US foreign policy is ended. Only when that day comes will Israel be forced to deal decently with the Palestinians and its neighbors. The only solution is for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza, give the Palestinians a truly sovereign homeland, forever relinquish all other land claims, and restore Jerusalem to the status of an open city (primarily to protect Muslim and Christian holy sites from Jewish fanatics).

Many diaspora Jews in America would move to Israel if it were more peaceful and secure. But Israel will never be peaceful and secure because of the power of that same Diaspora community to secure unconditional US support of Israel, war crimes and all.

Obviously, then, if there is to be a solution, the impetus must come from non-Jewish Americans. We need to end the power of the Israel lobby in the United States.

If Herzl was right and Zionism is the way that Jews can become a normal people in a normal country, it will only happen when non-Jewish Americans end the power of the Israel lobby to enable Israel's continuing abusive relationship to the United States, the Palestinians, and Israel's neighbors.

Conservatives love to say they are for immigration as long as the new people assimilate.

Assimilation (literally making people similar to you) is the opposite of multiculturalism (celebrating difference).

So when and why did these conservatives stop believing in multiculturalism?

So are these conservatives going to stop supporting immigration until such time as multiculturalism is abandoned?

And if diversity as such does not enrich us, what are these immigrants bringing that makes them worth considering?

New book: The second edition of Greg Johnson's Toward a New Nationalism is now available. The book offers a White Nationalist analysis of race realism, white identity, the problems with conservatism and libertarianism, “hate,” “white privilege,” American ethnic identity and nationalism, technological utopianism, freedom of speech, metapolitics, the Jewish question, the rise and fall of the Alt Right, and the ethos of idealism, duty, and self-sacrifice that white advocates need to cultivate if they are to change the world.

TRS is a good example of what Internet echo chambers can do to a movement. Here is Erik Striker saying that white advocates should use the scarce resources we have to help Arabs in the West.

The TRS echo chamber has decentred people of European descent from their worldview. The most important thing to them is not what is good for white people, but what is bad for Jews. This is why they put the Palestinian flag on their profiles and simp for all perceived adversaries of the US and Israel.

The fundamental problem with Jewish influence is that Jews don't share the interests of Europeans. But due to their obsession with the Jewish question, TRS don't seem to understand that Arabs don't share our interests either.

Arabs spent weeks rioting in France this summer and an Arab murdered two white people in Brussels yesterday. Most Palestinians and their supporters in the West are just as anti-white as any Zionist. I'm sceptical of the idea that any Western government would deport foreign Palestine supporters, but if they did, it would be a good thing (though for the wrong reasons).

Zionism isn't in our interests and shouldn't be supported, but neither is supporting (much less funding) Palestinians in the West.
