>>8112659>Why do Jews (especially the most radical ones, usually from Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox backgrounds) consider white people (especially Europeans) to be the descendants of Amalek?Response>The association of European peoples and the Western world with **Amalek** (or related figures like **Edom** and **Esav**) is a complex theme that blends biblical exegesis, historical traumas, and developments in Jewish philosophy over the millennia.>It is important to note that while the term "Amalek" is used rhetorically or symbolically by Orthodox sectors to describe enemies, a literal and genetic identification with Europeans is not a unanimous dogma but rather an interpretative construction.>Here are the fundamental points to understand this view:>1. Symbolic Genealogy: From Esav to Rome>The basis of this interpretation begins with biblical genealogy. Amalek was the grandson of **Esav** (Esau). In classical rabbinic tradition (Talmud and Midrash), the figure of Esav became the archetype of the **Roman Empire**.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>8131573Part 2>2. Historical Trauma and "Eternal" Enmity>For Orthodox Jews, Amalek is not just an ancient people but a **spirit of irrational hatred** against the Jewish people that manifests in different eras.>The Crusades and Pogroms: During centuries of persecution in Europe, many rabbis identified the perpetrators as carriers of the "spiritual gene" of Amalek.>The Holocaust:*This is the most significant point of rupture. For many Ultra-Orthodox leaders, Nazi ideology and the industrial efficiency of extermination in Europe were the modern and definitive manifestation of Amalek. >The fact that the perpetrators were white Europeans crystallized this symbolic association in certain schools of thought.>3. Gematria and Doubt (Safek)>In Hasidic philosophy, Amalek represents **doubt** ($Amalek = Safek = 240$).>The white European Western world is seen by Ultra-Orthodox sectors as the birthplace of the **Enlightenment**, **Atheism**, and **Secularism**.Comment too long.

>>8131574 Part 3>4. Examples of This Concept in Practice>Below are examples of how this terminology is applied or discussed:>1. **Identification with Germany:** Some prominent 20th-century rabbis, such as Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, discussed whether Nazi Germany could be legally considered "Amalek" due to its desire for total annihilation.>2. **The Term "Edom":** In prayers and liturgical texts, references to "Edom" are often understood as references to Europe and the Catholic Church, reinforcing the connection between Esav's lineage and the European white man.>3. **Resistance to Acculturation:** Ultra-Orthodox leaders frequently warn against "Edomite culture" (Western/European culture), treating it as an existential threat to Jewish identity, similar to Amalek’s attack in the desert.>4. **Contemporary Discourse:** In moments of geopolitical tension or antisemitism in Europe, it is common to hear the phrase "The Halacha says Esav hates Jacob" in radical circles, a maxim suggesting that European hatred toward Jews is an immutable "natural law."I dont know why, but Gemini is awnsering some questions without any exitation.Asked how the NSA was collecting data from everybody by forcing companies to bypass cryptography and gave me the full anwser.Comment too long.

>>8129598yea, i used to be like you until i actually put in the legwork to research it. theres no sense in refuting you, this is a wallpaper board where picrelateds.jpg proving you so fucking wrong its not funny arent allowed. Journey to /pol/ for your answer, unless youre a shill in which case i hope you cry in your pillow tonight kek Try this. The newspapers were crying "muh 6 million" in quite a few countries, as far back as 1890. newspapers, of course, owned by jewish owners. refute that, and ill acknowledge your response.>>8129599>cattle slave who doesnt understand artimagine being so hung up on evil hitler that you actually believe the trash that pours out of your own mouth. his art wasn't terrible, and much of that art from that same period is equally shit or worse. if it wasnt, you wouldve posted it as a wallpaper.
>>8127104>look at how haphazardly he's placed all the little dormer vents on the roof, even a roof overhang that blocks part of a window. it's pretty clear he just saw painting as another profession rather than a higher callingthat's because that's a real building in Munich you absolute dumb fucking nigger
His art is mediocre at best. I can understand why his application to art school was denied. The fact that he had to lead the mass murder of millions Europeans just for his art to be remembered is sort of depressing when you think about it.
>>8130879>2026>Still believing in le 6 gorillionYeah his artwork was ok, but isnt that the whole reason to go to art school? to learn and improve?

I browsed this site back around 2006-2009. I used to collect a lot of old wallpapers here, but sadly, lost my folder many years ago. So let's post some older wallpapers you got. Got a few saved from back then, so I'll post.
A lot of vaguely sciency stuff back then. DNA and viruses and whatnot.
