Neuwirth Law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Neuwirth Law is a French law which lifted the ban on birth control methods on December 28, 1967, including oral contraception. It was passed by the National Assembly on December 19, 1967. The law is named after Lucien Neuwirth, the Gaullis politician who proposed it. It replaced a law from 1920 that not only forbade all forms of contraception, but also information about contraception. The law was not fully implemented until 1972 due to administrative breakdowns.

American Birth Control
by Rebecca Davis
Jewish women from a range of social and economic backgrounds found common political cause in the American birth control movement and profoundly affected its successes in the early twentieth century.
Jewish women activists were among the first in the United States to bring the need for women's reproductive choice to the public's attention. Radicals such as Emma Goldman and Rose Pastor Stokes lectured on the importance of contraception and protested against the Comstock Laws, broadly defined anti-obscenity laws.
In 1900, fourteen years before the founding of Margaret Sanger's first birth control clinic, she began including the importance of contraception among her lecture topics. Affiliated with Margaret Sanger (1879–1966) through Socialist circles, Goldman defended Sanger's distribution of birth control literature and began a national lecture tour in 1914 on the importance of legal contraception.
The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) pioneered the establishment of birth control clinics, usually referred to as Mother's Health Bureaus, during the 1920s and 1930s.
Finally, Jewish women's activism in the American birth control movement also included close association with Margaret Sanger and other national birth control organizations. Two of Sanger's primary assistants, Anna Lifschiz (1900?–?) and Fania Mindell (1891–1969), were Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe.
Jewish women served as directors and staff at the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau (BCCRB), later called the Margaret Sanger Bureau, which opened in New York City in 1923. A legal loophole allowed doctors to prescribe birth control if it seemed "medically indicated," or if the patient's physiological condition would make pregnancy hazardous. Dr. Hannah Meyer Stone, the daughter of eastern European Jewish immigrants, became director of the BCCRB in 1927. Stone amended the clinic's list of medical indications to include the desire for child spacing and psychological factors.

This book presents a beautifully clear introduction to Marx's thought and its Hegelian origins, says Vernon Bogdanor
Marx was the grandson of two rabbis, and his mother did not convert to Christianity until after his birth. He was, therefore, halachically Jewish but showed little interest in the Jewish religion or Jewish history. It is difficult, therefore, at first sight, to understand what he is doing in Yale's series on Jewish lives.
Shlomo Avineri, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a world authority on Marxism, presents a beautifully clear introduction to Marx's thought and its Hegelian origins. But the originality of his book lies in Avineri's belief that Marx's Jewish background left large fingerprints on his work.
While he does not exculpate or excuse Marx's antisemitic rant, he seeks to put it into context, arguing that his attack on Christianity was even stronger than his indictment of Judaism, and that fear of censorship made him use Judaism as a synonym for capitalism, rather as, so he suggests, the verb "to jew", now excised from the Oxford English Dictionary, was once used as a synonym for "to cheat".

My father always told me that the only time his family was ever really proud of Jake, given his line of work, was when they heard that he'd been involved with busting up pro-Nazi rallies in Newark that were taking place shortly prior to US entry into World War II.
In the late 1930's, there was a legal pro-Nazi movement called the German-American Bund. The Bund started having large rallies in North Jersey and elsewhere, with the goal of keeping the US from entering World War II on the side of the allies. Most Americans of the time were deeply isolationist. The last thing they wanted to do was send American boys to fight and die in another European war. So the Bund's activities were not that surprising, and found fertile ground in many quarters. But the local Jewish population was alarmed by the pro-Nazi rhetoric of the Bund, not to mention the sight of brown-shirted activists chanting and sharing Nazi salutes right here in the good old USA.
My cousin Cocky Jake was a card-carrying member of the Minutemen, and his picture appears in newspaper accounts of the day. The Minutemen were essentially an armed group of Jewish mobsters, thugs, and wise guys like Jake. When Nat Arno gave the word that the Nazis were assembling, these denizens of the saloons, pool halls and other dens of iniquity in North Jersey would leave their usual haunts and head to the Nazi rallies. Much like today's Antifa, the Minutemen's preferred tools of persuasion were not logic and reason, but baseball bats, brass knuckles, rubber coated pipes and the occasional stink bomb.
The Minutemen were largely successful. Most of these pro-Nazi rallies were broken up before they got started. And the Nazis managed to get away with just a few broken bones and bruises, as Longie had decreed that no one was to be killed during these events.
Immediately after Pearl Harbor, these pro-Nazi organizations were declared illegal, and the Minutemen were able to disband and return to their usual less-than-savory activities. Years later, it was discovered that the German American

A Jew in Mao's China
July 9, 2012 By Laura Goldmar
Even when I have been disenfranchised from God and synagogue, I have always been culturally proud to be a Jew. A source of that pride is the Jewish tradition of helping the oppressed, and our involvement in social movements such as labor and civil rights.
Until I saw the documentary "The Revolutionary" at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival, I mistakenly thought that China during the revolutionary period was one country that had not felt the Jewish embrace. In fact, 85 to 90% of the foreigners helping the Chinese at the time of the Communist takeover were Jewish. This included the daughter of the founder of the brokerage firm Goldman Sachs, who left the comfort of her Park Avenue home to assist the Chinese.
"The Revolutionary" tells the story of Southern-born Sidney Rittenberg, the only American that has ever been admitted to the Chinese Communist Party. The Mandarin-speaking Rittenberg, who was initially sent to China by the U.S. Army at the time of Japan's surrender at the end of World War II, became an influential advisor to Mao Zedong and to the first premier of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Enla His pivotal role at the Broadcast Authority, explaining the Communist Chinese point of view to America, earned him a higher salary than Chairman Mao.

Mao's Jews

On Oct. 1, 1967, China's National Day, Sidney Rittenberg had reached the pinnacle of his revolutionary career. It was the 18th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Rittenberg was seated on a reviewing stand less than fifty feet from Mao Zedong overlooking a sea of thousands who had crowded into Tiananmen Square to mark the occasion.
Rittenberg was one of the very few foreign nationals who had remained in China after the communists came to power in 1949 and one of an even smaller number who had managed to work their way into Mao's inner circle, serving the communist leadership as valued advisers, trusted emissaries and even revolutionary leaders.
In addition to Rittenberg, there was Austrian, Jakob Rosenfeld, commanding officer of the Communist 4th Army's medical unit; Israel Epstein from Poland, a journalist who served as the Chinese government's head of international public relations; and Londonborn David Crook, dean of the Beijing Foreign Languages University.
Although their backgrounds were varied and their motivations for coming to China diverse, these doctors, writers and educators had one thing in common—all of them were Jewish.
The story of how thousands of Jews fled Europe, took refuge in Shanghai, and eventually built schools, synagogues and businesses there is one that is well known. This often-told story eventually ends with the departure of all the Jews from China when the communists take over in 1949, a clean and satisfying end to a moving chronicle that leaves no ends loose or questions unanswered.
But in fact, not all those Jews left. Many stayed, and of those who did, a handful lived out dramatic lives that provide a rare glimpse into the early years of Communist China Iran nuclear 2020 Virginia Iran - Israel war Neanderthals Syria - M

MIDDLE ISRAEL: WAS THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION A JEWISH
The revolution, was so crowded with Jews that one had to wonder whether "the Jews" were inherently revolutionary.
Lenin's deputies Lev Kamenev (originally Rozenfeld) and Grigory Zinoviev (born Hirsch Apfelbaum) and his treasurer Grigori Sokolnikov (Girsh Yankelevich Brilliant) were all Jews, as were Karl Radek (Sobelsohn), co-writer of the Soviet Constitution, Maxim Litvinov (Meir Henoch Wallach-Finkelstein), foreign minister of the USSR until his removal so Stalin could pact with Hitler.
This is, of course, besides Trotsky himself, builder of the Red Army and the only Soviet who served as both foreigr and defense minister.
Jewish revolutionaries were prominent beyond Russia as well
In Germany, philosopher-economist Rosa Luxemburg led an abortive revolution in 1919 before being caught, clubbed, shot dead and dumped in a canal. In Hungary, Bela Kun — originally Kohn — led a short-lived communist coup several months after Luxemburg's murder.
In Romania, Ana Pauker – originally Hebrew teacher Hannah Rabinsohn, and later the world's first woman foreign minister – effectively ran the country for Stalin, before falling from grace and spending her last years under house arrest. In Czechoslovakia, Rudolf Slansky was the second-most powerful figure before his public trial and execution alongside 11 other senior Jewish communists. In Poland, two of the three Stalinists who led its transition to communism – Hilary Minc, who collectivized its economy, and Jakub Berman, who headed its secret police – were Jews.

Bolshevism, naively believing that this would usher in a golden age. But most of the lecturers at the conference argued that this was simply not true.

What Were Russia's Jews Up to During the 1917 Revolution? This Moscow Museum Tells All
In 1917, Russian Jews swelled the ranks of the revolution that lead to the rise of the Soviet Union. Jews today still shoulder the blame.
The outsized prevalence of Jews in the ranks of the revolution that broke out a century ago on Nov. 7 has remained a mainstay of anti-Semitic vitriol in the area.
Regardless of the exact makeup of the first Soviet government, "there was great and undeniable enthusiasm among basically all the elements that made up Russian Jewry during the revolution," said Gorin, who runs the \$50 million state-of-the-art museum that last year won an award from UNESCO for its promotion of tolerance.
Though the first Soviet government — the Council of People's Commissars — was mostly non-Jewish, Jews did occupy very prominent positions throughout the Bolshevik and communist chains of command vastly disproportionate to their percentage of the general population, Gorin confirmed.
Jews in the top echelon of the Communist Party during its early days in power included Yakov Sverdlov, its executive secretary; Grigori Zinoviev, head of the Communist International; press commissar Karl Radek; foreign affairs commissar Maxim Litvinov as well as Lev Kamenev and Moisei Uritsky.
"The revolution offered Russia's Jews many opportunities, equal rights and education and a chance to fill the vacuum left by an elite that was forced into exile," Gorin said. "But above all it was a haven from a wave of pogroms in which 150,000 Jews in present-day Ukraine were murdered in what some historians call a dress rehearsal for the Holocaust. A Jew in 1917 had two choices: revolution or exile."
^ Look up Holodomor
"In the exhibition, we placed on the left a display of the many Jews that made up the NKWD," said Gorin, naming the dreaded communist security police that was a precursor of the KGB. The NKVD was an instrument for the murder of countless people, before and under the bloodthirsty and anti-Semitic reign of terror of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. "On the right we have a display of the many Jews they killed: authors, liberals, soldiers."
^ Stalin was not an antisemite, antisemitism was illegal under his government. Bolshevism was so jewish that he was physically incapable of purging anyone without purging a lot of jews

With his Palmach training, Goldreich brought to Umkhonto we Sizwe, the ANC's young underground military wing, a veteran's invaluable expertise in warfare. As a white man free to come and go, he traveled to Communist China and elsewhere to obtain designs for homemade military weapons for the group, such as hand grenades and landmines. Meanwhile, in public Goldreich played the role of a prosperous designer for a Johannesburg department store who owned a rural estate maintained by an outwardly subservient black staff that included key ANC leaders.

That so many Jews surrendered the comforts of their own relatively privileged lives—indeed, in at least one case, surrendered life itself—to join Mandela and the ANC, though they had little material stake relative to their black comrades, is in itself a testament to the radical legacy these Jews brought with them out of Europe to the other end of the globe.

By ERIC HERSCHTHAL
Many South African whites, Jews included, were not active proponents of apartheid. But neither did they actively oppose the status quo. Even if some whites, and the vast majority of Jews, sympathized with blacks, they went along with racist policies anyway.
Goldblatt recognizes that the Jewish community embodies these contradictions as much as non-Jewish whites. But he nonetheless credits Jewish values for inspiring his work. "I was brought up with a strong sense of injustice," Goldblatt said, giving credit to his Jewish education, which included Hebrew school and membership in the Zionist youth group has taken some. One in particular, from 1966, is of Harry Oppenheimer, the Jewish South African who is perhaps the quintessential example of white ambivalence toward apartheid. While he publicly denounced apartheid and lavishly supported liberal causes, he made his fortune in the diamond-mining business, an irony not missed by many.
Shimoni explained that while Jews were disproportionately represented within the anti-apartheid movement, the vast majority of Jews did not participate in it. Instead they chose to look after their own interests. And because one of their leading interests was Zionism, Jews were often more concerned with getting the South African government to support Israel, even if it meant supporting regimes that strongly favored apartheid.
In fact, he knows quite well the pressures Jews faced. Despite his commitment to the anti-apartheid movement, the outbreak of crime that occurred as the apartheid government crumbled caused him to question his own family's safety there too. The Jewish community left in droves as the system collapsed, and today numbers about 70,000 — a little over half of its former peak

In 1963, after South African police arrested six Jews and seven blacks in a raid on an African National Congress hideout in the Johannesburg suburb of Rivonia—a sweep that eventually landed Nelson Mandela in prison for more than 25 years—a white nationalist newspaper asked whether Jews were unhappy in South Africa. The community's Board of Deputies responded unequivocally that the opposite was true, promising that South Africa's Jews were loyal and patriotic. "No part of the community can or should be asked to accept responsibility" for the actions of a few, the board insisted in its official reply.
In time, of course, Mandela became a hero, and the actions of those few became a point of pride for South African Jews. Beginning with his years at Johannesburg's more or less integrated University of the Witwatersrand—aka "Wits"—and later as an apprentice to a Jewish law firm, Nelson Mandela had a political life that was profoundly intertwined with those of Jewish activists who, to varying degrees, found in their Jewish identity the imperative to object to a system that, while almost completely welcoming to them, treated blacks in a way that many of these children of European refugees found discomfitingly familiar.
While most South Africa Jews took the silent, implicitly conservative position of the Board of Deputies, the great majority of white South Africans involved in "the struggle" were Jewish. Many were Communists. Most were lawyers. A few had money. But all faced what has been described as a "double marginality": not fully accepted as white, while also alienated from an organized Jewish community beholden to the powers that be.

This Day in Jewish History // 1864: Global Trade Tycoon David Sassoon Dies http://archive.vn/mTS13
The trading empire Sassoon created spanned the globe from what is now Mumbai on the western coast of India, via Shanghai and Hong Kong in China, all the way to London, England.
On November 7, 1864, businessman David Sassoon, founding father of the Sassoon business dynasty, died in Pune, India. The trading empire he created spanned the globe, from what is now Mumbai of the western coast of India, via Shanghai and Hong Kong in China, all the way to London, England. It dominated world commerce in a number of commodities — most significantly opium — over the second half of the 19th century.
Sassoon initially owned a counting house and a carpet warehouse, but soon began trading in everything he could, including, most profitably, opium. When China's emperor tried to outlaw the drug, which cut a wide swathe of destruction through the population of the country's coastal regions, the British responded with war. The result was the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, which earned the United Kingdom a free hand in selling opium in China.
cotton to China, where he received silver, tea and silk in exchange. He then carried these products to England for sale. Finished products from Britain, as well as cash, were then brought back to India where they were used to buy more opium. By the 1870s, David Sassoon had come to dominate the trade of opium to China, having pushed the British firm Jardine Matheson and the "Parsi" traders of Bombay out of the business.

Opinion // Trump's Deep Dive Into Fascist, anti-Semitic Conspiracy Thinking
Trump's speech last week crossed new lines, closely mirroring the apocalyptic language of infamous anti-Semites of the late 19th and 20th centuries, all to fire up his white nationalist, anti-Semitic base. His claims the election is being 'stolen' and 'rigged' come from the same tradition.

Consider this sentence of Trump's, for example: "Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of US sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends, and her donors." These are the exact motifs of modern anti-Semitism; a global financial and media conspiracy designed to subvert the interests of the nation in favor of international Jewish interests. True, he did not say the word Jew. He didn't need to. No other ethnic group is so closely associated
The idea that Jews are good with money is one of the oldest Jewish stereotypes. But it's undeniable that Jews are well-represented in finance and business. http://archive.vn/yZeFc
BY MJL
he idea that Jews are innately good with money is among the oldest Jewish stereotypes, one that continues to impact perceptions of Jews today. In China, books touting the supposed secrets of Jewish financial success have been best-sellers, while all over the world anti-Semites have long railed against Jews' purported control of international banking.
As with many stereotypes, this one has its origins in fact. Jews have long been well-represented in the fields of finance and business. This is commonly attributed to the fact that for centuries, Jews were excluded from professional guilds and denied the right to own land, forcing them to work as merchants and financiers. However some academics contend that the historical evidence does not support this thesis and that Jewish financial success is instead due to the community's high literacy
Jews did hold prominent financial positions in Europe, which made them ready scapegoats in times of economic crisis. For centuries, so-called court Jews acted as the principal financiers for the European aristocracy's projects. In the 1760s, one of those court Jews, Mayer Amschel Rothschild, established a banking business in Germany that would eventually grow into a vast international conglomerate and yield one of the largest family fortunes in world history. The Rothschild name became synonymous with Jewish financial power, invoked as shorthand for the secretive and outsized power Jews were alleged to wield over the economic fate of the world. Despite his own Jewish ancestry (his parents converted the family to Protestantism when he was a child) Karl Marx, the philosopher who first popularized the idea that capitalism is inherently exploitative, singled out Jews in particular for their role in promoting it.
As moneylending evolved into institutionalized banking, Jews continued to occupy major positions in the financial world. Across Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, Jews built a number of influential banks, further feeding anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. With mass Jewish immigration to the United States beginning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Jews assumed prominent positions in the growing financial center of New York, establishing Salomon Brothers, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs and others. They also figured prominently in government financial positions. Since 1987, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve has been a Jew, as have four of the last eight U.S. Treasury secretaries. Three of the 12 presidents of the World Bank have been Jewish. Jews are also significantly overrepresented among the wealthiest Americans. Half of the 10 richest Americans in 2016 were Jewish, according to Forbes, despite Jews making up less than 2 percent of the U.S. population.

Danon told The Jerusalem Post.
"The refugees' place is not among us, and the initiative to transfer them to Australia is the right and just solution.
"On the one hand, it treats the refugees and migrants in a humane way. On the other hand, it does not threaten Israel's future and our goal to maintain a clear and solid Jewish majority," he explained.
"Since Australia has a policy of accepting refugees and groups under protection, I would appreciate it if you could promote a solution in which Australia would accept those who seeking refuge," Danon wrote in a letter to the MP from Melbourne following their meeting.
According to the deal, Canada will be the main country taking Israel's asylum seekers

This Day in Jewish History // 1868: The 'Einstein of Sex' Is Born (And Dies)
The Nazi Regime Set the Trans Rights Movement Back Decades. Here's How. http://archive.vn/ITI6G
Written by R. S. Benedict on August 14, 2019
After World War I, a relatively open LGBTQ culture flourished in Germany. Though there were anti-sodomy laws in place, the police didn't really bother to enforce them, so queer people were relatively free to live and socialize in public.
One of those bright spots was a doctor named Magnus
Hirschfeld, a groundbreaking sexologist. Stonewall Society writes
that Hirschfeld was Jewish, gay, liked wearing women's clothing
(and created the word "transvestitism") and was a foot fetishist to
boot. Hirschfeld saw sexuality as a natural phenomenon worthy of
academic research, as opposed to a shameful thing.
During his lifetime, Hirschfeld wrote and collected a ton of texts about queer sexuality, including many works about trans identity. Hirschfeld's colleagues practiced gender reassignment surgery.
As the Nazis came into power, Hirschfeld was attacked over and over again. His skull was broken in one incident. He was eventually forced into exile.
But Hirschfeld's research came under attack, too. In 1933, Hitler's brownshirts broke into Hershfeld's institute, burning his collected iterature. Many of these were rare books, difficult (if not impossible) to replace.

While away in the US lecturing in 1933, Nazi stormtroopers attacked and ransacked the Institute for Sexual Science, destroying its priceless research archives. The vast library was burned in the great bonfire of "enemy books." The newsreel footage of these burning books features in almost every documentary about the Nazis and in all the main history books. But it is rarely acknowledged that it was Hirschfeld's sexological institute and the headquarters of his German gay rights movement that were the main targets and victims of the

What the Torah Teaches Us About Gender Fluidity and Transgender Justice
BY RABBI DAVID J. MEYER, 9/20/2018
In fact, and strikingly, our Jewish legal tradition identifies no fewer than six distinct "genders", certainly assuming as normative the male and female, but including as well designations which we now refer to as "intersex" identities. To use the Hebrew terms: the androgynos, one who has both male and female characteristics, the tumtum, one whose biology is unclear, the aylonit, who identified as female at birth, but at puberty, develops male characteristics, and the saris, who appears as male at birth, but later takes on more typically female biology. I would suggest, based on the study of these legal texts that the Jewish understanding of gender is neither binary nor even a grid into which every person must be forced to fit. Rather, we see gender diversity as a spectrum, truly a rainbow of possibilities for reflecting the Image of God.

only genders. The possibility of a boy turning into a girl, for example, is mentioned in the Talmud quite nonchalantly: "For perhaps his maleness transformed into femaleness" (Talmud Bav'li, Bechorot 42b). They also spoke of the androgynos, who was both male and female, and the tumtum, a person who lacked male genitalia but was not female or lacked female genitalia but was not male (Talmud Bav'li, Nazir 12b). The tumtum was permitted both to initiate a marriage, like a groom, and to become married, like a bride (Talmud Bav'li, Tosefta Yevamot 11:1; Yevamot 72a). The tumtum also inherited from her/his father's estate in all the ways in which a son would, and was supported from the father's estate in all the ways in which a daughter would be (Talmud Bav'li, Baha Batra 140b)

Who runs Hollywood? C'mon
By JOEL STEIN DEC. 19, 2008 | 12 AM
I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.
How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.
http://archive.vn/ET5sf
The person they were yelling at in that ad was SAG President Alan Rosenber (take a guess). The scathing rebuttal to the ad was written by entertainment super-agent Ari Emanuel (Jew with Israeli parents) on the Huffington Post, which is owned by Arianna Huffington (not Jewish and has never worked in Hollywood.)
The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.
I called ADL Chairman Abe Foxman, who was in Santiago, Chile, where, he told me to my dismay, he was not hunting Nazis. He dismissed my whole proposition, saying that the number of people who think Jews run Hollywood is still too high.
"That's a very dangerous phrase, 'Jews control Hollywood.' What is true is that there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood," he said. Instead of "control," Foxman would prefer people say that many executives in the industry "happen to be Jewish," as in "all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish."
