Your article, "Paul Grubach: Master of the False Analogy," is jammed packed with falsehoods, fallacious logic, misleading claims, etc., etc.,   Let me give you just one simple example.

 

Concerning the evolutionary psychologist and scholar of the Jewish Question, Kevin MacDonald, you write: "[Paul Grubach's] use of Kevin MacDonald as an expert is humorous because he is an anti-Semite of the biological kind, believing that Jews are the way we supposedly are because of our genetics and not external circumstances."

 

This is a very distorted description of Dr. MacDonald's theories, and it shows that either you have never read his books or you simply don't understand his viewpoint.  MacDonald is saying that genetic factors are an important reason as to why the Jewish people are the way they are, but not the only reason.  His theory also states that the Jewish people are the way they are also because of religious factors, cultural factors, and the external circumstances of the Jewish people--and not just because of genetic factors.

 

To see that your description is a distortion of MacDonald's theories, one only has to look at the first volume of his trilogy, A People That Shall Dwell Alone.  MacDonald points out the solid body of scientific evidence that shows that the Jewish People do in fact differ on a genetic basis from non-Jewish populations.  Even more recent scientific evidence uncovered after MacDonald published his tome vindicates his viewpoint.  He shows that this significant genetic difference between Jewish and non-Jewish populations is the result of some degree of genetic separation between Jews and non-Jews.  MacDonald then states: "This genetic separation has been maintained by a variety of cultural practices: religious practices and beliefs, language and mannerisms, physical appearance, customs, occupations, and physically separated areas of residence which were administered by Jews according to Jewish civil and criminal law (p.c)."  Elsewhere in the same book he states that his theories "have no implication that Judaism is in some sense ecologically or genetically determined (p.9)."

 

He states here and elsewhere that the Jewish community is the way it is, partly because of genetics and partly because of cultural/religious practices and the external circumstances of the Jewish people.  Your statement--MacDonald believes "that Jews are the way we supposedly are because of our genetics and not external circumstances."--is a distortion, if not a blatant falsehood.

 

Furthermore, your label of him as an "anti-Semite" tells us more about your own Jewish ethnocentrism and Jewish cultural conditioning than about Kevin MacDonald.  Your culture has taught you to label any and every legitimate opponent and critic of the Jewish people as "an evil anti-Semite."  You can't face up to the truths that MacDonald has brought forth, so you attempt to discredit and silence him by using the charge of "anti-Semitism."

 

But let's give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that Dr. MacDonald is an "anti-Semite," i.e., he hates all Jews.  Even if Dr. MacDonald does hate Jews, he still could be an totally credible expert about the Jewish people.  Evil and neurotic men who hate all Jews can hold objectively true opinions and viewpoints about the Jews.  People who hate all Jews can uncover valid evidence about and make true theories about Jews.  To assume that MacDonald's theories are false, or that he is not an expert on the Jewish Question, because he allegedly hates Jews is to succumb to the ad hominem fallacy.  A man's viewpoints and theories are to evaluated independently of his motives or psychological makeup.

 

I don't wish to imply that Dr. MacDonald hates Jews.  He doesn't.  The point I am establishing here is that he is a great scholar of the Jewish Question, and Andrew Mathis simply can't face that fact. 

 

A shorter version of this will appear on RODOH.
