Jews Have No Culture of Their Own

Example 47: Stating that Jews have no culture of their own but stole all their traditions, art, etc., from other cultures:

This form of antisemitism, like so many others, is derived directly from the Nazis, and is much more common on today's neo-Nazi right than on the 'crank' left, which tends to prefer insinuation to direct accusation in many of the types of antisemitism that they most prevalently used.

This is an extract from Pesthauch der Welt (‘The Pestilential Miasma of the World’) by Robert Ley, a particularly nasty Nazi anti-Semitic book published late in the war:

'If anyone wishes further proof for the genuinely parasitic nature of Jewry, he should ask whether or not the Jews have ever created a culture, an economy, or a state of their own. Can anyone find a single Jew anywhere who, in any field whatever, has shown creative, original abilities? I know that Jewish propaganda has been trying for millennia to find this proof. Whenever a Jew somewhere or another shows some superficial talent, the whole Jewish mess tries to make such superficial talent into real talent in order to prove that the Jews, too, can be creative. However, when anyone looks behind such Jewish machinations, he will easily be able to prove that the ostensible Jewish creations are actually stolen, plagiarized, or borrowed from somewhere else.'

In other words, Nazis stated that everything Jews created was ‘plagiarised’ from the Aryan race.

The Facebook post below repeats a conspiracy theory started by the Nazis that Einstein was a plagiarist who stole other people's ideas. This idea is also expressed at https://www.biblebelievers.org.au/einstein.htm; this is is a very unpleasant Christian fundamentalist site which states not just that Einstein was a plagiarist, but that this was covered up by 'The Jew-controlled media'.

Some forms of antisemitism attempt to show that the Jewish people are inferior, dangerous or undesirable in various other ways. This form however is one of a group which essentially tries to show that the Jews are not really a people at all, or that if they are, they are parasitic in cultural terms. Of course, it bears no relation to reality; there are many creative pursuits as well as types of scientific achievement in which Jewish people have, of course, excelled, ranging from song-writing to physics. Some types of antisemitism are based on at least a vague grain of truth, although invariably distorted or hugely exaggerated; this type doesn’t even start from a grain of truth, but is rooted almost entirely in invention, in lies.
