We are all Nazi Juden Now

Kidovweird. Die Nazi Juden?

But ideologically true.

You might have thought that Tony Greenstein and his friends at the various Palestinian alliances have been reading too much Kafka.

One night you go to bed as some sort of bogus western democrat and the next morning you wake up, with the jack boots at the bottom of the bed and a copy of Mein Kampf by your bedside light.

Ja, you have metamorphosized into a Nazi because you dreamt that you went to an Ahava demo and opposed the boycott of Dead Sea Mud. (Of course, you actually stayed at home, tucked up in bed, but dreams are ideologically sufficient.)

You should have woken up screaming... "Did I actually stand next to The EDL? What a bloody night-mare! Why did I remain silent?" But its too late for self-recriminations. There's the executive director of the Board of Deputies on the phone shouting... "What the hell you were doing demonstrating outside Ahava with a bunch of Nazis who still have gas ovens in their council flats? Don't you understand what they are up to??"

The good news is that you can still go to Mike Leigh movies. So there isn't really too much to worry about. And Ken Loach hasn't been banned. You can listen to Elvis Costello, even though he is a bit dated. And there's The Floyd.

But spare a thought for the EDL. They've gone to all the trouble of actually traipsing around trying to find a copy of Mein Kampf. They've also had to fork out for their Leni Riefenstahl movies on Amazon. And they aren't cheap. As well as all of those David Irving, first editions, preferably signed in Austria.

But you have had the the Third Reich handed to you for free, with your cornflakes. You didn't even have to send off for it.

Can you imagine how jealous The EDL must feel? They've been conned. All that expense, special David Irving tour-guided trips to Aushwitz etc, and you have the chutzpah to waltz straight into Hitler's bunker...

"Ja, mein Fuhrer, the Nazi Juden are lucky schweinhundts! Seig Heil!"

Board of Deputies chief executive Jon Benjamin said: "Rabbi Shifren displays breathtaking naivety and ignorance in associating himself with the EDL and in the way he characterises the British Jewish community.
"Whatever the dangers of radicalisation in the UK, they apply just as much to the right as to the left and to Islamism."

Mark Gardner, Community Security Trust communications director, said: "The EDL's Jewish branch is a tiny part of a far larger movement, dominated by white males who would previously have made up National Front marches and English football hooligan gangs.
"EDL actions are violent and intimidatory, attacking police and random Asians. Any Jews thinking that they can shape such dangerous forces and find shelter there are utterly deluded."
Los Angeles-based Rabbi Shifren said: "I am coming to the UK to express my solidarity with the patriots in England who are on the front line in the war on jihad and stealth jihad.

Thank crunchie for Jon Benjamin and Mark Gardner. They are right not to be drawn into the hysteria. And you speak for yourself, AP.

Just for the record, does anyone know whether Jon Benjamin or Mark Gardner have ever attended the Ahava gig in Covent Garden?

As far as I am aware, Jon Benjamin and Mark Gardner have never been to the Ahava demo.

Whatever one thinks about their fear and loathing for The EDL ("dominated by white males" some of who might not even be barristers or doctors), why are they avoiding public expressions of support for the State of Israel?

I think that it takes a certain amount of chutzpah to criticize the EDL for standing outside the Israeli Embassy and Ahava, when they themselves are unwilling to display such support.
