Why America's anti - Semits have the right to hate Jews but are still declared to admire Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu organised a rally with his supporters last week. In the face of mounting corruption charges, he hit media and liberal elite, who he said want to sack it. “

Here are the similarities between Netanyaye and Donald Trump, it's hard to know who's copying who. Netanyahu deliberately plays this closeness to Trump. That's why the events in Chrlottesville, and the half sentences of Trumpı for American fascism, have given the Israeli prime minister a political headache. They punish TrumpU by making it endanger the enmity with “the twin soul” in a political way. Not convicts of Trumpí makes him appear soft to neo-nazim.

The majority of Israelite politicians understood it correctly. Response to the Trump) line that “exists two sides of each story”, Yair Lapid initon: “There are no two sides. When neo-Nazis marched into Charlottesville with anti-Semitic slogans against Jews and for the domination of the white race, the sentence is clear.” But Netanyay took three days to issue a “tweet” in English for the punishment of neo-Nazis. Was it really that difficult for an Israelite prime minister to condemn Nazism?

One problem for Israeli law is that there are very few, especially on the outside of US right policy, that care little for Jews, but expect to admire and support Israel because of its commitment to keeping most of its race within its borders.

Speaking to the Israeli news channel on Wednesday, Richard Spencer, one of the leaders of the Charlottesville meeting, set a surprising example of this philosophy “antisemite to Israel”. “Her Judes are highly represented in what you would call ʹestabishmentʹ and white-bred people are being expelled from this country”, he told the US.

And it went on: “An Israeli citizen, someone who has feelings for the nation and the people, and for the history and experience of the Jewish people, should respect someone like me who has analog feelings for white people. You can say I'm a white Zionist in the sense that I care about my people, I want us to have a safe place for us and ourselves. As you desire a secure place in Israel. ”

Richard Spencer is the man who called “Heil Trump” at the Washington rally. His followers responded with Nazi greetings. Praise from a man immersed in the worst kind of anti - Semitism should be fostered in seeking Israel's political spirit. These aren't the fans they'd like.

Most shocking is that some acknowledge that Spencer and his likes have reason to find common ground with some of the outside ends of Israel's policy. Just as former Prime Minister Ehud Barak said in Charlotteville's case: “you can't say that you don't see things here that have certain similarities when you look at Lehava's demonstrations or the activities of La Familia dealt with journalists covering investigations for Netanyah. ”

Lehava is a Hebrew acronym for “For preventing Assilim in the Holy Land”. It is especially against mixed marriages (such as my job) between Israelite Jews and non-Israelites. It's all about freeing Israel from Christianity. “La Family” are fans of the football club Bearer Jerusalem.

A few months ago, I went to see an Israeli-Arab team from Galilee playing, Bnei Saknin, although Sakni's fans were not allowed into the field. However, those placed in empty lines across opposite lines called “would drive your village”.

Barak is right, the parallels raised with Charlottesville are sometimes hard to avoid. And the problem everywhere with these outer ends is that they're looking increasingly periphery. Scary, isn't it?/Periscopi/
