Chapter 501 501 Jewish Community

The reason why the "beautifying Goss" remarks can trigger such a huge wave is actually closely related to the situation of Jews in the United States.

The United States is a multi-ethnic country, but their tolerance for "multi-ethnic" is very distinctive, such as the oppression of Indians, racial discrimination against blacks, exclusion of Asians or yellows, and even northern Europeans. National ridicule, etc., have always existed in American culture. Likewise, discrimination against Jews has a long history.

From a historical point of view, Jews have been persecuted all over the world, especially in Europe, and have had to live in foreign countries. However, the new world in the United States is still different from the old Europe. The American independence movement refused to oppose the Jews, which also The North American continent has become a new hot spot in the Jewish exile journey. As of World War II, at least three million people on the North American continent were Jewish.

But even so, in the face of the strong rise of Jews and the influence of the October Revolution in Russia, many wealthy Protestants in the United States turned anti-Semitic and anti-Semitic. A total of equal signs have been drawn. Since the twentieth century, two very serious anti-Semitic waves have broken out in the United States, which seriously tested the situation of Jews in the United States, but fortunately, the united Jews have gained a firm foothold in the North American continent. , survived.

In fact, the culture of discrimination against Jews has been inherited in the United States. There are historical reasons, cultural reasons, and religious reasons.

The large-scale persecution of Jews in Europe began in the Greco-Roman period. At that time, it was mainly to implement the Hellenistic policy and suppress Jewish resistance and resistance. Even after the fall of the Roman Empire, anti-Semitic measures were still inherited. The most important teachings It is from Christianity. In the definition of Christianity, Jews are pagans. The Germanic tribes deeply inherited this part of the culture.

The Jews believed in Judaism and the Europeans believed in Christianity. In the last chapter of the Old Testament of the Bible, it is mentioned that the Hebrews later did not worship God, and God would impose judgment on them, allowing other nations to occupy their countries, expel their people, and make The Hebrews became a nation without a homeland, and the Hebrews are now the Jews. Moreover, in Christian parlance, Judas who betrayed Jesus was a Jew. The Jews were pretentious, not only claiming to be the chosen people of God, but also the ones who dared to compete with God—Israel means wrestling with God, and this conflict of beliefs led to irreconcilable contradictions at the root.

Furthermore, the Jews are known as the most intelligent nation in the world. Their business acumen is amazing. The Jews can make a lot of money no matter where they go, and even master the economic lifeline. , and because of the national culture that is constantly wandering around the world, he is always used to protecting his wealth and does not like to help others. This is very disgusting for many people.

At the same time, Christian countries believe that lending money and collecting interest is a sin, and the practice of Jews is naturally despised, which deepens their hatred of Jews. With a long history of anti-Semitism, Jews have been branded as mercenary profiteers or miser. Even the great writer William Shakespeare has not been able to get rid of his prejudice against Jews. Sherlock in his "Merchant of Venice" is considered to be Jewish. represent.

The last is the lack of political status. The Jews have never fully obtained the corresponding political rights to protect their own interests, which makes them always a vulnerable group. This also makes Jews support the government with their money since World War II, hoping to obtain corresponding political rights for themselves in this way. Facts have proved that Jews have succeeded. In recent years, the United States has supported Israel because of huge pressure from domestic Jews.

In the future, in 2007, a classic major event happened, the University of Chicago (University. Of. Chicago) famous political science professor John - Mear-Sherimer (John. J. Mear-Sherimer) and Harvard Kennedy School of Government Dean Stephen Walt published the book "Israel Lobbying Group and American Foreign Policy", with nearly 500 pages and a large amount of analysis, pointing out that American foreign policy is influenced and controlled by Jewish groups, so it often damages the interests of the United States.

In fact, the content of the new book by the two professors was originally requested by the famous American century-old comprehensive magazine "The Atlantic", but under the influence of Jewish forces, "The Atlantic" finally decided not to publish it. , and other American journals also rejected the manuscript. Finally, only the British "London Review of Books (London. Review. Of. Books)" was published.

After the article was published, it spread to the United States, and the American intellectual circles immediately exploded. The dean of the History Department at the University of Montana (University of Montana) wanted to invite Stephen Walter to give a speech, but he was met with a crusade by Jews both inside and outside the school. , and to launch a campaign to remove the department chair from his administrative position. Another Ivy League college, Brown. University, organized a discussion and invited Stephen Walter, which also sparked protests from Jewish groups, forcing the organizers to call the police. to maintain order. Jewish organizations also called on people from all walks of life and alumni to stop donating to Brown University.

This incident ended in the failure of two famous scholars.

It can be seen from this that the Jewish money politics strategy has succeeded after the millennium, and they have also won a place in American society. But this kind of political strategy has also catalyzed many people's hatred of Jews against the wealthy. Therefore, discrimination against Jews has never disappeared. It's just that Jews have found legal and reasonable means of protection.

Among the six major Hollywood film companies, more than half of the consortia supporting them are of Jewish ancestry, which is also the rich capital accumulated by Jews over the years, and they also have a pivotal decision-making position in Hollywood. The important reason why a group of Jewish directors such as Pierberg and Woody Allen can have such a wide range of contacts is also an important reason why Tracy Jacobs, Ron Mayer, Martin Baum and others are trying their best to enter " Schindler's List" because the success or failure of this work also maintains most of the Jewish-centric personal networks in Hollywood circles.

It can be said that due to the influence of religion and culture, although the situation of Jews in North America has made great progress compared with that in Europe, they are still rejected by many conservative religious groups and hatred of the wealthy. Subconscious rejection and discrimination have never been Completely eliminated, so after the end of World War II, for half a century, the Jewish community has been holding tightly together, seeking more living space for themselves.

Because of this historical and cultural background, the Jews are united first, and sensitive second. They are persistently working hard for the rights and status of their own nation, and naturally they are not willing to have any accidents.

The shock brought by "Schindler's List" is actually the deepest pain in the heart of the Jewish nation. In that massacre, more than six million Jews were taken away. This is the Their motivation to keep fighting and fighting is their bottom line, and no one can touch them.

In fact, Steven Spielberg's sincerity has moved the National Jewish Association. After the film "Schindler's List" was released, the National Jewish Association also organized to watch it and was full of praise for the film. Not to mention the feedback from those Jews who participated in the filming of the film, it added a lot to the film. Steven's every move in the crew revealed his pain and struggle as a Jew when he faced that period of history. There is Steven's compassion and sense of belonging to the nation as a Jew, which makes the National Jewish Association express its support for the film.

But this time, the question of the shaping of the role of Amon Goss has triggered the nerves of a few extremists in the Jewish group, so they came forward to ask for an explanation at the first time, especially in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Washington When the parade is brewing in the four major cities, a storm is coming.

Faced with this situation, sociologists have come forward to express their views on the role of Amon Goss.

According to Dustin Brown, a sociologist at the University of Cincinnati (University of Cincinnati), "As you can see from Amon Goss's upbringing, he was a staunch anti-Semitic. His distaste for Jews was deep-rooted, and his insistence on this idea led to his rapid promotion in the Nazi army. Goss can be said to be an opportunist, he seized the opportunity of this war and quickly climbed to the top of the Nazi army. High, and became the director of the Plaszow concentration camp, holding the lives of thousands of Jews. Goss's indifference and brutal concentration of life can be profoundly reflected in every detail of his character.

For this, the film reflects it very directly, and obviously, the director Spielberg also agrees with this point. What Goss represented was the cruelty and indifference of the Nazi group at the time.

But the problem is that the director is considering the overall commerciality of the film, and obviously no one likes to create a cold-blooded killer, but a murderous demon with flesh and blood who constantly struggles and contradicts himself is much more attractive. Therefore, the director chose a handsome and attractive actor to play the role, and made a fuss about Goss and the Jewish maid, injecting more humanity into the role of Goss.

If this were just a fiction, the director's approach would undoubtedly be hilarious; but it's not fiction, it's a fact, a tragic history that will be remembered even centuries later. Therefore, the director should abandon his nostalgia for commercial elements and record every detail of Goss realistically and realistically. This is the right choice. The choice made by the director now is undoubtedly a blasphemy and insult to that history. His desire for commercial success has affected the basic setting of the entire film. This is correct for the film industry, but for history, for the Jewish people It is absolutely not allowed!

The director's humiliating interpretation of that period of history must be condemned. Just as he had the courage to make this film, he must now have enough courage to stand up to take responsibility and express his deep apologies to the Jews! "

There is no doubt that Dustin Brown supports the extremist Jewish group's remarks, and there is definitely more than one sociologist who opposes it. This also makes the storm brewing bigger and bigger, even within the National Jewish Association. Had to have a meeting to discuss. Obviously, Tracy's words are like butterfly wings in the Amazon jungle, and a hurricane has been blowing across the North American continent.
