Covered in egg.<BR/><BR/>In Germany, from what I know, there's the antifa who are pro-Zionist and anti-fascist, a kind of double guilt trip which means that they end up supporting racist positions abroad but also accepting that Germans as Germans were guilty for the holocaust. <BR/><BR/>Given its history one would expect the fascist right in Germany to be anti-Jewish and even opposed to Israel. However I also suspect that the time won't be far off when an equivalent party to Le Pen's makes an appearance, pro-Zionist and playing down its anti-Semitism.<BR/><BR/>But we should also not forget that the most right-wing of the bourgeois parties, the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (allied with the CDU) is very pro-Zionist, anti-immigrant etc. Its founder, Hans Joseph Strauss, who was of course in the Nazi Party, was ardently pro-Israel and went (along with other ex-Nazis like John Vorster) to pay homage at the yad vashem propaganda memorial.<BR/><BR/>Tony GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-33913772375088742212008-04-14T12:40:00.000+01:002008-04-14T12:40:00.000+01:00In Germany for a long time, the fash were in an wh...In Germany for a long time, the fash were in an what would have up until recently to us seemed an odd position they hated the Jews, but supported Israel.<BR/><BR/>It is difficult to say whether it is simply a case of siding with Israel because the "left autonomous" (commies and anarchos) sided with Palestine and or how much any sophisticated "diaspora bad; Zionism good" came into play intellectually, but it certainly manifested itself that way at any rate.<BR/><BR/><BR/>But more recent developments in Germany are more worrying still. <BR/><BR/>There is according to german spooks, a trend towards the extreme right reaching out to the extremist Islamists on the basis of their anti-Semitic rhetoric. There is now a possibility of a schism in the right with a faction occupying a 100% anti-Jewish stance.<BR/><BR/>This mechanism seems to overlap with what Rizzo & Atzmon are introducing into the English-speaking PSM: an interpretation of solidarity that draws on Nazi themes and sets anti-Semitism as the benchmark for solidarity.<BR/><BR/>The normalisation of racism, where the rejection of racism equals betrayal.<BR/><BR/>It is interesting that Atzmon likes to reject the left-right polarity of politics.
