Nazi-style quenelle salute performed at Toulouse Jewish school

Amid a public debate in France over the allegedly anti-Semitic “quenelle” gesture, French media have reproduced a photo of a man performing it outside the Toulouse school where four Jews were murdered last year.

The photo, which was published Monday on the website of the France 3 broadcaster, shows a man wearing a shirt featuring a portrait of Yasser Arafat in front of the Ohr Torah school.

The man is holding his left palm outstretched over his right shoulder – in the gesture, known as quenelle, which was invented by the anti-Semitic comedian Dieudonne M’balla M’balla.

Jewish groups say that Dieudonne, who has multiple convictions for inciting racial hatred against Jews, designed the quenelle to emulate the Nazi salute without violating France’s laws against displaying Nazi symbols to cause offense.

Hmmmm ... it’s the first time I’ve heard about this. No matter what the laws, anti-semitism will always rear it’s ugly head among it’s followers.

Dang! They had to call it a “quenelle” salute? I’ll never feel the same about one of my favorite fish dishes.

‘Dieudonne’? God’s gift? Not likely! Perhaps ‘Diabledonne’ would be a better handle for tis guy.

My salute to Dieudonne is almost the same except my left hand is closer to the crook of my right arm whose forearm is raised towards my clenched fist, the middle finger of said fist extended defiantly!

Dieudonne... designed the quenelle to emulate the Nazi salute

So a gesture that has nothing in common with the Nazi salute nevertheless "emulates" it. How's that work?

We should come up with a secret “Muslims are murdering human sewage” salute.

What is this?

I consider myself a pretty good student of history and I don't recall ever seeing a real Nazi, i.e. a German Nazi-era fascist, give this gesture.
