Neo-Nazis For Israel?

While much of the neo-Nazi fringe remains opposed to the existence of Israel, the whites-only British National Party recently declared its full-throated support for Israel's attack on Gaza. The shelling of Gaza City by Israeli forces has brought joy to the heart of BNP head of legal affairs Lee Barnes: "This sort of 'disinfecting' process whereby Israel is required to sterilise areas of radical Islamist support ... is what all nations have to do in order to eradicate Islamist cells who have managed to take over territory either within or on the edges of their borders," Barnes wrote on his blog on January 4. He continued, "Get used to the casualties -- for without them any nation so infected with Islamism will surrender, rot away into liberal apathy and then dies as it is taken over."

Nick Griffin, the BNP's Cambridge-educated, media-friendly chairman, echoed Barnes' comments in an essay called "Israel's Gaza affair:" "The Israelis will NEVER get unbiased reporting on the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation, despite being the only civilised country in the region & fighting for their very existance [sic]," Griffin proclaimed. "It is NOT our place to get involved but you aren't the only one to be 100% behind them, they are an example to us all because the only thing the Islamic Terrorists understand is FORCE."

Speaking beside David Duke, BNP chair Nick Griffin reveals the true motives behind his new strategy

Griffin's endorsement of Israel's attack on Gaza marks the latest phase in his attempted transformation of the BNP from an anti-Semitic horde of football hooligans into a viable right-wing alternative to the Conservative Party. Once an open denier of the Holocaust, Griffin published a pamphlet in 1997 called "Who Are The Mind Benders?" that claimed Jews had conspired to brainwash the British people by dominating the media. He immediately received a two year suspended sentence for inciting racial hatred.

After seizing control of the BNP's chairmanship in 1999, Griffin realized his neo-Nazi tactics had failed. He shifted strategies, adopting a platform that closely mirrored that of Jean Marie Le Pen's then-incipient Front National in France. Griffin savaged the government for its supposedly soft handling of pedophiles, bashed homosexuals (despite claims by former far-right activist Martin Webster to have engaged in a secret gay tryst with Griffin), and called for the dismantling of multiculturalism.

With Muslims immigrating to Britain in increasing numbers, Griffin assailed Islam in 2004 as a "vicious, wicked faith," and claimed the "Islamification" of his country was a form of rape. Islamophobia thus became the foundation of Griffin's new strategic thrust.

In a 2007 essay, Griffin revealed the cynical motives behind his replacement of the BNP's anti-Semitism with Muslim bashing: "It stands to reason that adopting an 'Islamophobic' position that appeals to large numbers of ordinary people -- including un-nudged journalists -- is going to produce on average much better media coverage than siding with Iran and banging on about 'Jewish power', which is guaranteed to raise hackles of virtually every single journalist in the western world."

During the spring of 2008, the BNP campaigned through Jewish areas in London, blanketing neighborhoods with leaflets juxtaposing fearsome images of radical Muslims with a smiling headshot of Pat Richardson, the BNP's only Jewish councillor. "I'm in the BNP because no one else speaks out against the Islamification of our country," Richardson declared.

Ruth Smeed of the Board of Deputies of British Jews observed with astonishment, "The BNP website is now one of the most Zionist on the web -- it goes further than any of the mainstream parties in its support of Israel and at the same time demonises Islam and the Muslim world." However, Smeed and a wide array of Jewish organizations in Britain were not fooled by Griffin's new philosemitic patina. They rejected his play for their votes and urged their constituents to do the same.

But while Britain's Jewish community has largely rebuked the BNP's cynical machinations, it is unclear where Israel stands on its support for the Gaza invasion. Will the Israeli government publicly denounce the BNP's support, or silently accept it in the face of mounting pressure from European governments to accept a cease fire?

Ludi, Nov. 4 must have been a horrible night for you.

"If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It's that fundamental belief - I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper - that makes this country work. It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. 'E pluribus unum.' Out of many, one."

BERLIN -- Yeliz Arslan's misfortune was that she was Turkish.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, neo-Nazis threw a firebomb into her apartment house, killing her, her grandmother and a young cousin visiting from Turkey. Arslan had lived her whole life in Germany. Her cousin was 14. She was 10.

Heidelberg, Germany (ANTARA News) - German police were holding six men
Friday over the neo-Nazi beating of a 29-year-old Turkish man in the
tourist centre of Heidelberg.

They are alleged to have punched him and stolen his mobile phone while
they were travelling on the same municipal bus late Wednesday night.

The accused, aged 16 to 38, all appeared to be far rightists.

Police said they were hunting a seventh accused.

Area police were also investigating an apparently racist attack on an
Eritrean man the same evening in the nearby city of Ludwigshafen, DPA
reported.(*) END

Derek Black says "of course" he will attend a meeting Wednesday for new members of Palm Beach County's Republican Executive Committee. Never mind that the party chairman says Black's "white supremacist" associations are not welcome and he will not be seated.

"I was elected," Black, 19, says.

Don Black, a former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, has stepped in to defend the appointment of Derek Black, his son, to the Palm Beach County Executive Committee after local GOP officials sought to bar him from the process on a technicality.

David Duke, a former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, has stepped in to defend the appointment of Derek Black to the Palm Beach County Executive Committee after local GOP officials sought to bar him from the process on a technicality. Black is the son of former Klansman and Grand Wizard Don Black.

Derek Black can't be seated with county GOP members because he didn't sign an oath, the chairman says.

Not surprising when you consider that far-right politics nearly everywhere are based on some sort of hate.

Consider that the modern Republican base only formed as an angry reaction to Democratic support for civil rights, better known as the "Southern Strategy" of the Republican Party.

The right-wing extremists have been especially effective at spreading fear among Turks, says Kenan Kolat of the Turkish Community in Germany, a group which campaigns for immigrant rights, doner kebab stands are seen as an especially easy target. This, in turn, has created a market niche in the insurance business. Because German insurance companies are refusing to provide fire insurance for people like Haci D., small, specialized providers have contacted the Turkish community association to offer fire protection and alarm systems. The representatives sell their services to local Turkish businesses by maintaining that an alarm system will ensure that "the same thing doesn't happen to you."

On a visit to the western city of Solingen last week to commemorate the 15th anniversary of a deadly arson attack on a Turkish family, Kolat was able to get a firsthand look at what life can be like for Turkish immigrants threatened by right-wing extremist violence. On May 29, 1993, four men from the local skinhead community set a fire in the entrance of a house owned by the Turkish Genç family. Two women and three girls died in the incident.

The survivors remained in Solingen, where they built a new house -- surrounded by a fence and protected by 24-hour video surveillance.

(continued) It's almost as if we've gone from "how dare you think the Nazi horror could occur again" to "how dare you think the Nazis were Nazis?" Folks aren't saying -- yes, Ratzinger has some explaining to do. Rather they're saying, per se it's unfair to worry about his unfortunate youth working for Hitler's final solution and victory, and to at least suggest that maybe the Catholic Church could have done better for itself and the memories of what it did, or didn't do, during WWII.

While I firmly believe in forgiveness and personal redemption, and fully embrace the idea that individuals should be given a second, third and fourth chance to get their lives in order, I don't believe that that means that that person is then qualified to be pope.

[GoneAreRepugs22]

(continued)

The thing is, I feel like some are exonerating Ratzinger's past specifically because of his past. It's almost as if the fact that he was in the Hitler Youth and the Nazi army somehow means "of course he wasn't a Nazi." That logic is a bit weird. It's as weird as folks today who say "how dare you compare what is happening in America to what happened in Nazi Germany." Many people like to think, for whatever reason, that the sins of the Nazis could never happen again, so per se it's bad form to even worry that they might or are. That's a rather dangerous and flippant view of history. And I think it's what's motivating some of the "how dare you call Ratzinger a Nazi" rhetoric.

ARSON SUSPICIONS AFTER LUDWIGSHAFEN BLAZE

Police Find Neo-Nazi Graffiti on Burnt-Out Building

German police investigating eyewitness claims that Sunday's blaze in Ludwigshafen was caused by arson have found neo-Nazi graffiti daubed on the building where nine Turkish immigrants died. Turkish media are reporting that the occupants had received xenophobic threats.

Wreaths have been laid outside the burnt-out shell of the Ludwigshafen building.
German police said on Wednesday they had found neo-Nazi symbols daubed next to the entrance to a Turkish cultural center on the ground floor of the Ludwigshafen building where nine Turkish immigrants, including five children, died in a fire on Sunday.

In Germany, throughout last year and this year there were and continue to be arson attacks against Turkish Germans

http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-1036526.html

Until this week, the 1.8 million Turks who live in Germany could hear the numbing daily recitation of neo-Nazi attacks against foreigners as news about others. No more.

The neo-Nazi firebombing Monday in Moelln, near Hamburg, that killed a longtime Turkish resident of Germany, her granddaughter and another girl, was the deadliest assault to date in Germany's current wave of right-wing violence

230 childs and 92 women were killed until now.to every humen in this world what you will do if they are your childern to evey humen in this world DONOT BUY ANY ISREAL PRODUCTS WE CAN SAY NO FOR ISREAL BY PRACTICAL WAY

[MagisterLudi]

You want to boycott Israeli products? Go for it! But be consistent. Boycott ALL of them.
Pay particular attention to medical services and providers and hi tech equipment you will need.
Look VERY carefully at any medical device or medicine in the fields of:
canc,er therapies, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, orthopedics, diagnostics, medical devices and laser technologies.
I realize there's not much danger in that but avoid any conferences in: theoretical physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, computer technology,music, history, literature, solar power etc.
Better stick to Isla,mic only conferences on the above. Enjoy.

[GoneAreRepugs22]

Nah, we'll just use superior American products. We'd like our tax dollars back. Thanks.

Remember the recent self-confessed Nazi, far-right party in Austria?

Don't expect MagisterLudi to tell you that they continually spouted hateful rhetoric against Turkish and other Muslim immigrants.

They just have to hate somebody, don't they? Anyone. They're inbred ugly, unhappy, insecure, fearful, ignorant , angry, bitter, envious a-holes who just need someone to blame for their miserable, sad, empty, soulless lives.

They're prioritizing. Right now there are more Muslims so they feel that they're the immediate threat. Hopefully, the other minorities don't fall for it.

"An Arabic translation of Hitler's Mein Kampf which has become a bestseller in the Palestinian territories is now on sale in Britain. People are interested in it," said the shop assistant.
The book, Hitler's account of his life and anti-Semitic ideology written while he was in prison in the 1920s, is normally found in Britain in academic or political bookshops.
But The Telegraph found it on sale in three newsagents on Edgware Road, central London, an area with a large Arab population."
In the preface, Luis al-Haj, the translator, states: "National Socialism did not die with the death of its herald. Rather, its seeds multiplied under each star."

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1388161/Mein-Kampf-for-sale-in-Arabic.html

"Mein Kampf" is best- seller in Turkey.
William L. Shirer"s definitive tract "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" has NEVER been translated into Turkish, or Arabic for that matter.

[GoneAreRepugs22]

MagisterLudi, you reveal your lack of knownledge of history when you try to lump the Turkish Republic, the ONLY democracy in the Middle East (sorry that's not israel), with an ethnic group that'

How do you explain the neo-Nazi attacks on Turkish Germans?
How do you explain that nearly every neo-Nazi and white supremacist group hates Muslims?

Of course, these questions were asked of you before a page, back and all you can do is spam with the same meaningless nonsense in new posts.

[arvay]

What does that possibly have to do with anything? This sounds like the usual hyperbolic Israeli propaganda that the Arabs are actually the new Nazis. Keeps much of the Israeli population in a state of post-traumatic hysteria.

Gee, do ya think the interest in this might arise from 60 years of being displaced and attacked by a nation that presents itself as a Jewish state? H-m-m-m-m-m ya think? Are the Arabs in favor of Aryan supremacy? The Turks, too? Amazing!

For the record, Shirer's book is a tedious, overwritten screed which comes close to asserting that Germans and German culture have some kind of Nazi genes. Very pro-Soviet, also.

[GoneAreRepugs22]

That same year, a BBC program documented Israeli commandos and Mossad agents training the PKK in Nothern Iraq. The PKK is listed as a terrorist group by the US State Department and is responsible for the deaths of more than +40,000 people in Turkey. Did the Israeli government really think that there is not going to be any reaction to this sort of behavior?

Also, it was NOT the best-selling book in the country let alone in the top ten when an average of the main bookstores is compiled for the year.

[GoneAreRepugs22]

MagisterLudi, nobody buys your attempt at misinformation.

It was not the bestseller in 2005. For a brief period that year, it was among the top ten to top forty according to different bookshops and since then it's sales have dropped. And even then, it was half the price of similiar-length books. And the few people who bought it (in the thousands, hardly incriminating when you consider that it is a country of 70 million people), also purchased items like the biography of Che Guevara.

"A company list of best sellers across Turkey listed the Emre edition of the book as the No. 4 four top seller for the D and R bookshop. Officials from the Remzi bookstore confirmed the book was among its top 40 sellers."

"But others point out that the book can be purchased for as little as 6 new Turkish lira ($4.50), half the price of similiar-length books."

Also, that same year the BBC program Newsnight documented Israeli commandos and Mossad agents training PKK terrorists in Northern Iraq. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by the US State Department and is responsible for the deaths of more than +40,000 people in Turkey.

[MagisterLudi]

Simple fact:
Turkey commited a Holoca.ust of their own- on Armenians.
Maybe some people just wanna compare notes.
Fact: the sales dropped somewhat because of the protest from Germany. Turkey then banned the second edition of this masterpiece.

[arvay]

Thank you for this detailed and factual rebuttal. Under most Israeli statements is usually a carefully twisted jumble of lies. Well, maybe not that careful, as you've demonstrated.

It's at a point where if israel announced that the sky is blue, millions of people wold look up to check.

Nazi connections

"We admired the Nazis. We were immersed in reading Nazi literature and books . . . . We were the first who thought of [an Arab] translation of Mein Kampf. Anyone who lived in Damascus at that time was witness to the Arab inclination toward Nazism," Sami al-Joundi, the founder of Syria's Ba'ath Party.

Fact: Many Nazi criminals were welcomed for re-settlement in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world.
Exhibit 1: Sozialistische Reichspartei was banned as a neo-Nazi political organization in Germany.
The leader Remer was given Egyptian citizenship. He became an adviser to Egyptian President.
Exhibit 2: Joachim Däumling.Gestapo chief Düsseldorf. Giiven citizenship in Egypt. Set up Egyptian secret services.

[GoneAreRepugs22]

George H.W. Bush's father had actually dealings with the Nazis. That's well-documented. Somehow it escapes your posts.

Instead you post random historical revisionist propaganda with no sources. You still have yet to reply.
