Natural Analogies to Genocide: Invasive Species Displacing Native Equivalents, Which Then Die Off

Very rarely do you spend your time thinking about an invasion of mutant crayfish, but you might, as it provides a potent metaphor:

Every marbled crayfish, known as a marmorkreb in German, is female — and they reproduce by cloning themselves. Frank Lyko, a biologist at the German Cancer Research Center, first heard about the marbled crayfish from a hobbyist aquarium owner, who picked up some “Texas crayfish” at a pet shop in 1995. They were strikingly large, and they laid enormous batches of eggs — hundreds, in a single go. Soon, the New York Times reports, the hobbyist was beset with so many crayfish he was giving them away to his friends. And soon after that, marmorkrebs were showing up in pet stores upon Europe.

There was something very strange about these crayfish. They were all female, and they all laid hundreds of eggs without mating. These eggs, in turn, hatched into hundreds more females — with each one growing up fully able to reproduce by herself. In 2003, scientists sequenced their DNA and confirmed what many owners already believed to be the case: Each baby crayfish was a clone of its mother, and they were filling Europe’s fishtanks at alarming speed. Just 25 years ago, the marbled crayfish did not exist at all. Now, they can be found in the wild by the millions in Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, the Ukraine, Japan, and Madagascar.

Invasive species, like generalists or people after too much civilization, are simpler and therefore adapt more easily to a new place, at first. Over time their lack of specialization causes them to become more specialized, and they branch off into local species, but first, they have a much easier time of reproducing and displacing any native species that compete with them.

The same is true of government-sponsored immigration. The newcomers have fewer concerns about upholding the civilization and maintaining it, and only need to follow a basic model of feeding and reproducing. Over time, they displace the natives, who then pass into genetic history and are forgotten.

Leftists Attack Israel For Preserving Its People From Genocide By Outbreeding

Those who recognize that the thread to most populations is genetic destruction by outbreeding tend to support nationalism, or the idea that the nation is defined by a single ethnic group. This conflicts with the egalitarian ideals that have been de rigueur for the past two centuries.

Currently, the egalitarians are attacking Israel for deporting genetically dissimilar people in an attempt to preserve the genetics of the Jewish people:

Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, likened African migrants in Israel to the “Dreamers” at the heart of a contentious US immigration debate and suggested that deporting them would make Israel appear racist.

…Greenblatt has joined calls on Israel not to deport the African migrants, but casting the call in terms that suggested that it would look racist is an escalation of the debate.

…Much of the organized Jewish community, including the ADL, has lined up with Democrats and immigration advocates who call for removing the threat of deportation of the Dreamers.

While European and Eastern European Jewish migrants are ethnically similar to Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, African migrants are entirely different and their arrival will shatter the majority unity needed in order to preserve the cultural identity that protects the genetics of the Jewish people.

If the ADL were thinking clearly, it would see that its primary mission is not to fit in with political trends, but to protect the Jewish people against those trends by preserving their rights to autonomy and exclusion.
