Germany: MP accused of making anti-Semitic, racist videos for far-right group

Via Politico:

A senior member of the Alternative for Germany party is accused of having produced anti-Semitic and racist videos for a radical far-right group.

According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Peter Felser, a member of the Bundestag and one of the AfD’s parliamentary party deputies, is an owner of a production company called wk&f Kommunikation which, from 2001 to 2003, made campaign films for the extreme-right Republikaner (Republicans) party.

The Republikaner party has in the past been monitored by German intelligence services because of extreme views, FAZ reported.

The videos produced by Felser’s firm were banned. A German court found that one of the video clips was “endorsing, denying or downplaying the Holocaust,” Spiegel reported.

Felser told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung he regretted the films, and agreed that “indeed, they could be understood as a denial of the Holocaust.”

Belgium: Islamic State terrorist mastermind says "we will be the ones who liberate Palestine"

Anti-Zionism justifies terrorism against Jews and it justifies terrorism against non-Jews.


Abdelhamid Abaaoud (AKA Abu Omer al-Baljiki) is a Belgian Muslim, the mastermind of the Paris attacks. He was killed by French security forces in a raid in Saint-Denis.

Via i24 News:

The Islamic State group released a video Sunday featuring the messages from nine perpatrators of the Paris massacres which killed 130 people last November, and threatening "coalition" countries including Britain.

The 17 minute propaganda video, entitled "Kill wherever you find them," was posted on jihadist websites with French and English subtitles, and shows four Belgians, three French citizens, and two Iraqis said to be responsible for the attacks threatening more violence.

"Allah! Allah! On this day we will create rivers of your blood. With Allah's help we will be the ones who liberate Palestine," is the final message given by Abu Omer al-Baljiki, considered the "mastermind" behind the attacks.

Croatia: Anti-Israel Palestinian-propaganda movie co-opts Anne Frank

Co-opting Anne Frank for political purposes and trivialising the Holocaust is what Jakov and Dominik Sedlar, two Croatian film-directors did. The film is produced by Branko Lustig. Aussie Dave is (rightly) shocked:

We are already used to the Israel haters co-opting Anne Frank for their propaganda, but seeing this still shocked me.



The publicity material:

Now, 70 years since the Frank family were discovered in hiding, What Does Anne Frank Mean Today? is a fascinating look at Anne Frank’s life and diary and how the words and thoughts of this exceptional young woman in hiding have relevance in today’s world. Shot entirely on location amidst the turmoil of Gaza, Ramallah, Jaffa and Kosovo, the film takes a modern look at how relevant her thoughts and dreams are for young people in these regions today through conversations with ordinary Palestinian youths who talk about love, their first kiss and other subjects covered in Frank’s diary. Sedlar faced many challenges shooting during the most recent conflicts in Gaza, trying to shoot scenes in between bombings and was witness to horrific images of war. The film will have six young Palestinian actresses portraying Anne Frank between the ages of 12 and 14 and Sedlar hopes that the film being done in Arabic (with English subtitles) will ‘open some eyes.’ ‘We must not repeat history,’ Sedlar adamantly vows. 

I am truly saddened some of those who say ‘Never Again’ are helping the cause of those who want ‘Again.’

Czech Republic: Euroskeptic party's campaign features Jewish ritual murder

Czech authorities censored a campaign ad for the "No to Brussels-National Democracy" party, as it featured antisemitic content.  Antisemitic sites like Joe Le Corebeau's Croah claim that this proves that Jews really do control the media. After all, the ad also featured some anti-Islam and anti-Roma clips, but this wasn't the reason it was banned.

The party claims it's not antisemitic. It's just anti-Israel.  Which is why their clip features a a painting portraying Jewish ritual murder and a visit by British freemasons at the local British synagogue.  The party claims it opposes homosexuality and freemasons, but for some reason their clip ties both these issues to Jews.

Israeli s and homosexuals, Jews and Freemasons

Blood libel painting

Books such as this one (available on Amazon) use this painting to illustrate how the Jews commit ritual murder.

More on the clip from the Economist:

In the offending ad, a digitally animated snake slithers in front of a variety of images, including a Star of David, smiling rabbis, a vaccination, a €500 note and smoke pouring from New York’s Twin Towers. The serpent is eventually slain by a knight holding a shield that bears a fork-tailed lion crest, the Czech national symbol. Czech Television refused to air the advertisement. Adam Bartoš, the leader and top European Parliament candidate for the “No to Brussels-National Democracy” party, admits the ad is “provocative.” He insists it is anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic, though this fails to explain why Mr Bartoš has also taken to publishing lists on the internet of Czech elites he claims are Jewish. The snake in the ad, Bartoš said, symbolises Brussels. “Our party is dangerous for the establishment because it defends what other parties do not defend—a family and a nation.” 

(...) 

The Roma minority are a convenient scapegoat for much of the right wing in Central and Eastern Europe, but Mr Bartoš and his party say little of the Roma. They are however against “Zionism, multiculturalism, homosexuality, free masons, banks, the new world order agenda and so on,” says Mr Bartoš.

Russia: RT's 'humorous' take on the Israel/Palestine conflict

Netanyahu, on the right, portrayed as a religious Jew

Via Elder of Ziyon:

RT.com, the Russian state-funded English-language media outlet, posted what is meant to be a humorous "rap news" piece that purports to give the truth about Israel. The show is created by two Australians. 

The number of lies and slanders in this 7 minute piece rival anything in Arab media. 

The piece shows a trigger-happy Netanyahu justifying Israel's existence based solely on Jewish suffering, wantonly killing a Hamas leader who was willing to recognize Israel. The Six Day War is shown as a malicious land grab and UNSC 242 is misrepresented as insisting that Israel return all lands, which Bibi says is antisemitic.His actions are justified by American media and John Kerry, afraid to say anything to offend Israel.

France: Dieudonné calls for revolt against Jewish occupation

Remember, Dieudonné is not really antisemitic. It's not his fault that antisemites love him.  It's not his fault that he's accused of denying the Holocaust.  He's just a comedian who might have some constructive criticism of the Israeli government.  There's really no reason why French Jews should feel offended or slighted by a little underhanded humor.

Dieudonné was dragged into court again by the UEJF (Union of French Jewish students), this time over a video posted to his account in early April.  The video, which now has over 2 million hits, was a response to PM Manuel Valls speech on the anniversary of the Toulouse massacre.  In the video Dieudonné calls on non-Jews to revolt and mobilize against occupation and subjugation to be imposed by French Jews.  

Finland: Magneetti Media site continues to propagate antisemitism

In October 2013 Juha Kärkkäinen, the owner of Magneetti Media, a free distribution newspaper and website, was fined for "inciting to hatred against an ethnic group" and ordered to remove antisemitic articles from his site.

As Algemeiner pointed out at the time, the antisemitic articles weren't removed immediately,

On the Magneetti Media website, on Tuesday, Kärkkäinen’s newspaper continued with his Jew hate. On the front page, Magneetti Media republished a story from June that tried to tie Israel to the U.S. government’s NSA snooping scandal. Another front page post in the video section of the homepage is a YouTube clip of Brother Nathaniel, a man with a thick, New York accent dressed as an orthodox Christian priest peddling the “Jews control the media” trope.

(...) 

The articles that were on focus during the trial, screeds about rabbis, the Rothschild family tree, Jews controlling the media, and other anti-Semitic story lines that The Algemeiner reported on in July, were still posted online at the Magneetti Media website on Tuesday. 

In fact, they're still online. 

Now, five months later, I happened across this fascinating article on "understanding Antisemitism".  Posted a couple of weeks ago, it includes a YouTube clips which justifies antisemitism.  

The article is illustrated with Carlos Latuff's "Never Again / Over Again!" cartoon.

Needless to say, this article is just a drop of water in the sea of Jew and Israel hatred that is Magneetti Media.  Other recently posted articles bring David Duke's opinions on the "Secret Behind Communism" (hint: it's the Jews), and on why the West supports the Islamists in Syria and not Assad and his peaceful charity-group Hezbolla cohorts (hint: Jews again).

Germany: Berlin Film Festival Award for Anti-Zionist British Director Ken Loach Angers Jewish Group

Deidre Berger, director of the American Jewish Committee’s Berlin office, said, “It is a disgrace that a prominent German film festival glorifies a director who has distinguished himself through bigotry and the denial of Israel’s right to exist.”

She also said that awarding Loach the “The Honorary Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement Award” was especially deserving of “shame,” as it was taking place in Berlin.

“Shame on the Berlinale for honoring an artist who calls for a cultural and economic boycott of Israel, and to do so in a city that once boycotted Jewish shops and property due to anti-Semitic policies of the German government,” Berger said.

Denmark: Director Lars Von Trier uses movie to claim Nazi remarks were anti-Zionism

In 2011 Danish director Lars Von Trier got into trouble at the Cannes Film Festival for saying he understands Hitler and referring to himself as a Nazi.

Von Trier's new movie "Nymphomaniac" is his response to the controversy, according to the film's digital marketing specialists.  And what is his response?  Claiming that he might be anti-Zionist, but he's not an anti-Semite.

As the Copenhagen Post points out:

This is never more transparent than a scene in which the Jewish (by ancestry) Seligman advocates anti-Zionism while making it clear that it is quite another thing to be an anti-Semite. 

Update: headline.
