T.S. Eliot and the Culture of Critique, Part One of Two (originally published 3-12-2016)
"Eliot’s immunity from concerted Jewish critique began to break down in the 1980s with the publication of Bernard Lewis’s Semites and Anti-Semites (1986). Notwithstanding the fact that Lewis is not strictly speaking a literary scholar, as a Jewish intellectual influential in framing a popular understanding of ‘anti-Semitism’ Lewis was more effective than any other academic activist, to that point, in making the smear adhere itself more readily to the person of T.S. Eliot"
"The inter-generational and intracultural transmission of Jewish hostility towards Gentiles, and in evidence here, certainly deserves more thorough treatment. It should suffice to state here that its roots in religion, social structures, cultural expressions, and group dynamics mean that it is likely to be commonplace within the organized Jewish community"

T.S. Eliot and the Culture of Critique, Part Two
"Because this art was successful and attracted praise it also attracted Jewish hostility. The culture of critique, as it applies to our celebrated and traditional cultural figures, involves scorn of both the artist and those who celebrate them."
"Julius writes that non-Jews can’t even understand these poems unless they accept that they cause Jewish “pain” since, “to ignore these insults is to misread the poems.” He subsequently seethes that “early hostilities made [Eliot’s] reputation; subsequent attacks failed to diminish it,” and he sets himself the task of achieving just that."
"While politics is crucial, we neglect the cultural war at our peril. To paraphrase the conclusion of my treatment of the campaign against Ezra Pound: Civilization, for all its greatness, is ultimately a fragile entity. It requires care, conservation, and occasional pruning."

"This regime [United States of America] is maintained less by brute force than by an unrelenting, enormously sophisticated, and massively effective campaign to contain political and cultural activity within very narrow boundaries. Dissenters are not trundled off to jail or beaten with truncheons, but are quietly ignored and marginalized. Or they are held up to public disgrace, and, wherever possible, removed from their livelihoods."
