If anything that article shows nick griffin in a good light. He says david irving`s views are repugnant.
But my criticism of nick griffin still stands(i.e. that he has cast off or hidden, his anti-semitism for a reason), and reason not to support the BNP party still stands.
Another interesting thing.. They are right that left wingers are fascists.. There is an irony.
The big left wing jewish organisations in britain were no doubt responsible for blocking rabbi meir kahane from coming into britain. Infact, the jewish chronicle did not even let him respond to the accusations they made about him in their paper.
And the equivalent leftist groups in america, tried to gag ann coulter.
On the other hand, they use their fascist like methods against anti-semites too. Trying to ruin ken livingstone, or david irving. They view nick griffin as bad so they are against him..
Whether or not nick griffin is bad, his party is.
I do not know what Kahane would have said. In this case, Nick Griffin is really not saying anything offensive. On the contrary. But his party is full of anti-semites..
Some people may have seen the videos on youtube, in Skokie, where kahane had jews marching in the streets shouting slogans "KILL NAZIS NOW" at rallies. They were dealing with an organisation whose leader wore swastikas. Kahane`s argument to some old people, - not a rally - was, yes, right to free speech is good. "But what person has the right to put me into an oven".
Nick Griffin is not making any pro nazi statement. On the contrary, he makes statements against them, he expelled John Tyndall from the party for nazi views - and for going against him. He has said hitler is an enemy.
I think maybe these fascist like actions are disgusting.. And over reactions, and disproportionate. Though if the BNP party is kept down, it is good for the jews and for britain. Because their members are a bunch of nazis.
I think what we have here is a leftist organisation , or leftist students, behaving as they usually do, but this time not at completely the wrong people.
I do not know what the right reaction would be. Kahane would have known. Maybe I`ll ask chaim!!
