“The Believer,” A Movie I Thought I’d Hate

I actually saw the movie about the Jew who became a Nazi. I was ready for the usual mile-wide and molecule deep story about Jews and Nazis, like the annual Holocaust movie that gets all the awards.

It even started the way I expected it to, and I settled back to two hours of Jewish Suffering.

It began with a sweet, studious Jewish kid being chased down by an Evil Nazi and beaten, just for being Jewish.

Then the Nazi knocked him down and started saying, “Hit BACK!”

Then we begin to find that this Nazi was a Jew. It showed him years before walking out of his Jewish junior high when the teacher was praising The Sufferings of Job. What kind of sadist was Jehovah, who did all that to Job because Satan challenged him to?

How could anyone find anything admirable about Job, who got kicked and blubbered and Loved the Lord and wanted more kicks?

He became violently anti-Semitic.

He hated the Jews as Sufferers, as wanderers, as relativists, as blaming everything on everybody else.

I loved the scene where the Psychiatrist faced him with, the Ultimate Weapon, Holocaust Survivors. A Holocaust Survivor (have you ever noticed how many millions there are, always readily available?) told him how his wife and children had been murdered before his eyes.

And he said, “So what the hell did you DO?”

The “man” said he did nothing.

The Nazi said, “Why didn’t you die fighting?”

Then the female psychiatrist had to explain there was nothing he COULD do.

She used the Ultimate Line: “You weren’t THERE!”

The Jewish Nazi said, “I would have died right there. I wouldn’t be here whining about it!”

There is plenty for the standard right-wing ideological grouch to grouch about in “The Believer,” but the leftists hated it, too.

“The Believer” was HATED by the ADL, which was horribly disappointed that it wasn’t another annual award-winning Holocaust movie. It is almost impossible to make a movie about Nazis and Jews and not win every available award, but I don’t think “The Believer” got a single one.

A major theme of “The Believer” is that Jews are just a group of people who exist to be hated. Without their being hated, he says, there would be no Jews.

They need it. They court it. They advertise it. They thrive on it.

The movie keeps emphasizing that Judaism consists of lots and lots of bobbing up and down, lots of ceremony, lots of worshiping The Holy Land with the Religious Right, but no RELIGION.

One point the movie keeps making is that there is no RELIGION in Judaism. There is only self-pity. At the end of the movie, this Jewish Nazi ends up giving his life to save Jews the way he told the Holocaust survivor he should have done. He hurts no non-Jews doing it. He is pointlessly sacrificing himself, because that is what a man should do in a hopeless situation.

And what is his reward? Once again, the point of the ending is that there is no RELIGION in Judaism.

He spends eternity chasing up staircases looking for a God who isn’t there. All he runs into, again and again forever, is his old teacher saying he may have had a point about Job.

Judaism is just self-pity and “a point,” according to this movie.

I have seen the anti-Semitic Nazi movies, and they are pathetic propaganda movies to show to an American. But “The Believer” exposes the non-existence of post-Holocaust Judaism, the self-pity and will to destroy everything and everybody that today’s degenerate Judaism represents.

If the ADL wants to keep earning its fat paycheck, it needs to show old Nazi propaganda films and showcase the Religious Right, whose greatest ambition is to be just like Jews. They make modern Judaism look good.

The ADL should sponsor the Religious Right and show Nazi anti-semitism. But the ADL needs to grab and burn every copy of “The Believer.”

The movie was written, produced, directed and all the rest by Jews. But they are obviously not your standard Jews.

The writer of “The Believer” understands sick modern Judaism as only a Jew can, and hates it as only a Jew can.
