White supremacists make common cause with Zionists in the UK
JVL Introduction
Collaboration between Zionists and far right groups in the UK is not new but seems to be entering a more belligerent phase.
On May 23, pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the Phoenix Cinema in North Finchley, protesting at screenings taking place as part of an Israeli government-backed film festival.
According to Katherine Hearst writing in MiddleEastEye, a significant number of the hundreds of counter-protesters who assembled with the aim of driving away the pro-Palestinian demonstrators were mobilised by extreme racist and neo-Nazi organisations.
Her article draws on eyewitness testimony and an interview she conducted with a researcher for Red Flare, a group of anti-fascist volunteers who have worked with a number of news sites including the Guardian and the Times.
We are grateful to MEE for their permission to reproduce Hearst’s informative but disturbing article which reveals an evolving alliance between right wing supporters of Israel and white supremacist groups.

And meanwhile Hope not Hate targets George Galloway and refuses to say anything about the alliance between fascists and Zionists in Britain which I’ve covered extensively on my blog. Stand Up to Racism is not much better.
There is a need for anti-fascists to take cognisance of this fact and to begin to draw up a strategy to counter this as it is clear internationally that the far right see Israel as their ideal state and are increasingly linking up with Zionist activists.
Indeed some, like the AfD can include both vociferous support for Israel whilst at the same time being riddled with holocaust deniers
This is frightening & looking back at history & hearing things as a child when my few relatives spoke of their experiences who were Catholics it was horrific what people did to one another! Everyone suffered & it’s happening all over again.
That war to end all wars? No it wasn’t enough it seems Leaders in many countries have become leaders of corpses that they murdered, their own people & others ! Now they rule their demolition sites, bombed craters!
Yet here we all are again seeing an uprising of a “Third Reich & a Stalin era of total fear!”
No one learns anything, this division of religions, colours of skin, is pointless .
The genuine battle everyone should have is to save & respect our planet, environment, & stop the greed of the few who are sucking the life out of our planets resources!
Zionism & it philosophy appears to be aggressive, hateful towards different races of people, it seems to use Judaism as a shield but as a weapon as well.
This has & will cause more antisemitism where non exists & Zionists have now intertwined with the other hateful branch of White racists, Islamophobes & misogynists!
The colour of skin is the focus of racists, yet the thousand years of non white civilisations who created astounding architectural masterpieces, created mathematics, art, fabrics, gardens….etc have been ignored, yet some of these treasures are put into Western museums to admire!
It appears to be in our DNA to destroy what others have built & created even the word PEACE is now abused by the far right & torn down !
I’m sad for all the children in the world & frightened for them.
