(Jewish Group) Why neo-Nazis Love the BDS Movement So Much

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

It’s been clear for quite some time that "progressive" spaces have a problem with "Zionists"and their "offensive" symbols – including any flags with the most recognizable Jewish symbol, the Star of David, on them.

That must be why, when progressive protesters countered a small Ku Klux Klan demonstration in Dayton, Ohio they tried to burn an Israeli flag. Their passionate "anti-Zionism" must have prompted burning the Jewish state's flag to equate it with KKK white supremacy.

But it's increasingly clear that a similar antipathy for "Zios" energizes the far right. Last weekend, a neo-Nazi, who had come with his buddies to protest the Detroit Pride parade, felt the urge to demonstrate that Jew-haters can also be anti-Zionists when he urinated on an Israeli flag. And the small neo-Nazi German party Die Rechte campaigned for the recent EU elections with the slogan: "Israel is our misfortune."

That’s quite the common denominator. If, as a progressive, you claim to take the fight against the oldest hatred seriously and find yourself on the same side as neo-Nazis, it’s arguably time to reconsider your views.

1. Liberalism gives antisemites cover

It's how Hitler did it; he came up on the left and repeatedly made socialist-sounding pronouncements. Coming from the left insulates one from a number of traditional attacks that stick to racist from the right

There is a great movie from Germany called "Look Whose Back" in which Hitler mysteriously appeared in modern-day Germany in a Terminator-style ball of lightening.

It's on Netflix. It uses scripted and unscripted scenes with normal Germans faced with Hitler. They play it completely straight.

He makes extremely persuasive speeches, just as he did before. And real people were moved -- thinking he was an actor playing a part -- because he was talking about real inequalities, unfairness, etc.

One thing they did is have him go to the modern version of the Nazi Party in Germany (real participants). He quickly dismissed them as cranks and idiots.

He got a lot more traction meeting with . . . . members of the Green Party, who assumed he was a character actor proving a point.

Truly a disturbing movie, but, sadly, what is clearly a foreshadowing of what will come again.
