22 July

utoyaMASS MURDERER IS INSPIRED BY APARTHEID ISRAEL
On this day in 2011, Norwegian White supremacist Anders Breivik slaughtered 77 people, 69 of them at a left-wing youth summer camp on Utoya Island. He said his main motive for the attacks was to publicize his manifesto, in which he referred positively to Israel 359 times as a defence against Islam. Breivik is not alone; many extreme right groups in Europe see Israel as a model to be emulated in its harsh treatment of “Muslims”. (Palestinian Christians are ignored in these Islamophobic movements.)

 

مجرم القتل الجماعي استخدم سلوك إسرائيل الاجرامي كنموذج

22 يوليو

في مثل هذا اليوم من عام 2011 ، ذبح أندرس بريفيك النرويجي (العنصري الذي يؤمن بتفوق الجنس الابيض على غيره) 77 شخصًا ، 69 منهم في مخيم صيفي يساري للشباب في جزيرة أوتويا. قال إن دافعه الرئيسي للهجمات كان الإعلان عن اهدافه السياسية ، حيث أشار بإيجابية إلى إسرائيل 359 مرة بانها الدرع الواقي من الإسلام. بريفيك ليس وحده. العديد من الجماعات اليمينية المتطرفة في أوروبا ترى إسرائيل كنموذج يحتذى به في معاملتها القاسية "للمسلمين". (يتم تجاهل المسيحيين الفلسطينيين في هذه الحركات المعادية للإسلام)

The meaning of the Norwegian terrorist’s love for Israeli war crimes The Muslim-baiting right-wing is on the rise, and looking for alliances with Israel. Asa Winstanley on Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik.

“So let us fight together with Israel, with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural Marxists/multiculturalists”

Breivik’s extreme Zionism has led to some media attention on the growing links between Israel and extreme right-wing, and fascist groups from around Europe. Die Spiegel recently ran an article on the subject (“Europe’s Right-Wing Populists Find Allies in Israel”, 29 July). But this has been a growing trend for years now, and still not enough attention is being paid to it.

The common denominator all these right-wing parties and groups have is of course fanatical and bigoted hostility to Muslims. Many commentators have been perplexed by Breivik’s Zionism, and have tried to analyse it as if it were some sort of contradiction. But it’s not. The BNP was notorious for anti-Semitism in its past and Griffin is often accused of Holocaust denial. Breivik also clearly has some anti-Semitic ideas, implying that the German Jews brought the Holocaust on themselves: “Were the majority of the German and European Jews disloyal? Yes, at least the so called liberal Jews, similar to the liberal Jews today that opposes nationalism/Zionism and supports multiculturalism”. Zionism and anti-Semitism are not contradictory: in fact they often complement each other and have a history of alliances.

Time Magazine article: 'Norway Terror Accused Breivik Says he Loves Israel'

"[Breivik's] manifesto hails Zionist Jews as a crucial ally in his battle between Christendom and Islam, proclaiming Israel as the frontline citadel in that war. Breivik’s Crusade would have Jews on board for an existential fight against Islam; the mirror image of the “Crusader-Jewish” alliance that Osama bin Laden vowed to drive out of what he defined as Muslim lands.

"In his rambling history drawn from a range of Islamophobic sources, Breivik paints a picture of Christians and Jews (and also Hindus) as fellow sufferers under Muslim oppression through the ages. He soft-pedals around the uncomfortable fact of Crusaders killing Jews, insisting that in the limited instances where such events occurred, they were the work of renegade bad apples.

"Breivik says the Fuhrer was wrong about some Jews:

“Were the majority of the German and European Jews disloyal? Yes, at least the so called liberal Jews, similar to the liberal Jews today that opposes nationalism/Zionism and supports multiculturalism. Jews that support multiculturalism today are as much of athreat to Israel and Zionism (Israeli nationalism) as they are to us. So let us fight together with Israel, with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all culturalMarxists/multiculturalists. Conservative Jews were loyal to Europe and should have been rewarded. Instead, [Hitler] just targeted them all…”

"Breivik confines his philo-Semitism to Zionists, who he sees as fellow conservative nationalists in the war against Islam. As for the rest, adherents of multiculturalism, their fate should be the same as any other “traitors” to his Judeo-Christian Crusade."

Birds of a feather: White supremacy and Zionism
White supremacy and Zionism are two of a kind, with both modelled on ethnic exclusion. Therefore, if one opposes exclusion, and the desire for a racially or religiously 'pure' nation, one must oppose Zionism

Richard Spencer, the de facto leader of the white supremacist movement in the US calls himself a "White Zionist". He lucidly articulated that argument when he answered a reporter on Israel’s Channel 2, who asked him about the chants of “blood and soil” which his followers were declaiming at the Charlottesville rally in Virginia earlier this month.

Spencer explained that, logically, Zionists should “respect” his views:

“... an Israeli citizen, someone who understands your identity, who has a sense of nationhood and peoplehood, and the history and experience of the Jewish people, you should respect someone like me, who has analogous feelings about whites. You could say that I am a white Zionist – in the sense that I care about my people, I want us to have a secure homeland for us and ourselves. Just like you want a secure homeland in Israel".
