David Duke....what an outrageous asshole.
the Jews against Zionism thing always puzzled me. They are a group of highly Orthodox Jews from the NYC area (Chasidic jews) who feel that Zionism, which fostered the growth of Israel was in some way responsible for the Holocaust! I think their logic is completely lacking. They postulate that European anti-semitism (which has a history over 1000 years long..but they seem to forget that fact), would have quelled if only those damned Zionists had not open their mouths, and that if Jews had not focused their immigration towards Israel only perhaps emigration to other nations would have flourished and thereby they might have escaped the Holocaust (pure crap since no other nation, not even the US or Canada would take Jews during Hitler's time....Roosevelt sent 'em back to die in the gas chambers, and Canada wouldn't allow them entry either; interestingly only Japan took some and I think China as well...go figure). They also don't like the idea of a Jewish "secular" state, and the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl was non-observant and practically agnostic...so they have a constant axe to grind. Like I said, they puzzle me. Several of them were in attendance at the Iran "conference", not in support of Holocaust denial, but in support of anti-Zionism. Religious extremists (any religion) frighten me.
