"The recent success of Jean-Marie Le Pen has provoked an outpouring of rage from all the usual left wing suspects, and astonishingly, from some Jews. Justin Raimondo seems to be the only one to see the irony in this. In a world where Muslims are attacking synagogues and beating Jews in the street, it is with a sense of wonder that I consider the Jewish resistance to Le Pen whose sin is to oppose having his country swamped by those same Muslims.
...
M. Le Pen actually supports Israel’s right to defend itself yet is called anti-Semitic simply because he is a member of the political right!"
Le Pen is not hated by Jews because he opposes Muslim immigration, he is hated by Jews because he hates Jews. He has said countless disgusting things about them (including that the Holocaust was just a "detail" of history). He's a sick jerk, and a Buchanan-style fascist (which is why the Lewsers and Justin Raimondo want to have his baby).
Every left wing writer puts that in every article about Le Pen. Nobody seems to want to get into it any deeper than that.
Except Eric Margolis. Last Sunday he wrote in the Toronto Sun:
Le Pen told me, "Jews have conspired to rule the world through their power over international finance. They are using their influence over government and media to promote mixture with lesser races and corrupt the purity of Europe's blood. The Jews created communism and tried to use it as a means of world domination. Today, 'the Jewish conspiracy' is using race rather than communism to advance its goals."
On May Day, 10,000 students from a Jewish group marched in the streets against Le Pen. Why do you think they don't want Muslim immigration stopped?
Sounds tens times better than Chirac, I'd vote for em.
