Just to let you know who you're applauding:
I find that particularly fascinating, considering the alleged antisemitic* (Or is it just anti-Jewish?) sentiments expressed by neoNazis. Semitic Language groups include Arabic, and the "Palestinians" are equally a Semitic people. In point of fact,
Ancient Semitic-speaking peoples lived throughout the Ancient Near East, including the Levant, Mesopotamia, Arabian peninsula, and Horn of Africa from the third millennia until the end of antiquity.
The languages they spoke are usually divided into three branches: East, Central, and South Semitic. Proto-Semitic was likely spoken in the 4th millennium BC, and the oldest attested forms of Semitic date to the mid-3rd millennium (the Early Bronze Age).
Speakers of East Semitic include the Akkadians and the descended cultures of Assyria and Babylonia. Central Semitic combines Northwest Semitic and Arabic. Speakers of Northwest Semitic were the Canaanites (including the Phoenicians and the Hebrews) and the Aramaeans. South Semitic peoples include the speakers of South Arabian and Ethiopic.
All of these peoples are Semitic.
linkWhy Neo-Nazis would march against the Muslims is the next question, when the Nazis and Muslims under the fledgling Muslim Brotherhood got on well enough, with two divisions of Muslim troops serving the Nazis. Especially prominent in this was Haj Amin Muhammad Al Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem. He is described thus:
History shows Al Husseini to be a brutal man with aspirations to rule a pan-Arabic empire in the Middle East. He rose to prominence by actively eliminating those Jews and Arabs he considered a threat to his control of Jerusalem's Arab population, and he heavily utilized anti-Jewish propaganda to polarize the two communities.
In the
same source, Al Husseini's relationship to the Nazis is described as well:
The Nazis provided Al Husseini with luxurious accommodations in Berlin and a monthly stipend in excess of $10,000. In return, he regularly appeared on German radio touting the Jews as the "most fierce enemies of Muslims," and implored an adoption of the Nazi "final solution" by Arabs. After the Nazi defeat at El Alamein in 1942, Al Husseini broadcast radio messages on Radio Berlin calling for continued Arabic resistance to Allied forces. In time, he came to be known as the "Fuhrer's Mufti" and the "Arab Fuhrer."
In March 1944, Al Husseini broadcast a call for a jihad to "kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion."
On numerous occasions, Al Husseini intervened in the fate of European Jews, most notably blocking Adolph Eichmann's deal with the Red Cross to exchange Jewish children for German POWs.
Moreover, Al Husseini personally recruited Bosnia Muslims for the German Waffen SS, including the Skanderberg Division from Albania and Hanjer Division from Bosnia. The Hanjer (Saber) Division of the Waffen SS was responsible for the murder of over 90 percent of the Yugoslavian Jewish population.
SS leader Heinrich Himmler was so pleased with Al Husseini's Muslim Nazis that he established the Dresden-based Mullah Military School for their continued recruitment and training. In 1944, Hanjer commandos parachuted into Tel Aviv and poisoned drinking wells in Jewish communities in an effort to stir up ethnic tensions.
Nasty fellow.
This man's actions contributed to the breakdown in relations between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East for the purpose of causing unrest to create a pan-Islamic state (Al Husseini's ultimate goal, with himself as the chief--sound familiar?). It certainly seems similar in goal to the destabilization of governments surrounding the Mediterranean with the likely goal of creating a pan-Islamic state, conducted by another fellow whose middle name is Hussein.
So why, considering history, would Neo-Nazis be protesting the 'radical Islamists' who are the offshoot of organizations allied with the Nazis in their quest for power, and aligned in their hatred of the Jews?
Because even neoNazis can recognize a threat to their own existence.
I am not in sympathy with the neoNazis, I don't like totalitarianism in any form, and bear no ill will toward any Jews I know, nor any I don't, esepecially for simply being Jewish.
But doesn't anyone else find it strange that neoNazis would be protesting an entire totalitarian system which has allied with Nazis in the past and shares anti-Jewish sentiment? (even though Arabs are a semitic people too). Perhaps when the Naxis were at their zenith, they figured the Muslims would be easy to finish off and were just using them as tools, but now see how those tables have turned.
Either there is some historical and factual misinformation/ignorance out there leading to what seem to be a strange polarization in this conflict,
some folks don't want the competition,
Or the (even the) NeoNazis and other groups recognize the potential for a greater shadow cast by Islam over their lives.
My impression of all this is that there also are people who have done their homework, regardless of their other beliefs or affiliations, and there are, especially, people who want to smear any information distributed by knowledgeable individuals with some intolerable miasm that most
soi disant decent people won't go near, and are loath to be even tenouously associated with.
Pointing to any known 'undesirable' in the crowd, or who approaches a microphone or using their mere unapologetic presence to taint the entire message is a convenient tactic of the Left
and the Right, unfortunately.
