Translation of the cover page–‘The Jews have nothing to fear from the National Front’. 

CRIF head Roger Cukierman said National Front chief can’t be ‘faulted personally’ for anti-Semitism

ed note–as we have pointed out here ad nauseum, right now one of the most irreplaceable and indispensable ‘neighborhoods’ within ‘the movement’ in terms of assisting organized Jewish interests in their drive to bring about this ‘clash of civilizations’ they have been planning now for over 1,000 years are the various ‘anti-immigration’ groups operating both in Europe and the US, one of whom includes Le Pen and her party. By having these groups focus on immigration from mostly Muslim nations that have been destroyed by the Judaized west either through war or economic exploitation, the focus is taken off of who is actually responsible for it all while at the same time feeding into the anger and frustration that inevitably fuels more military adventurism for Israel’s benefit.

As much as a no-brainer as all of it is however (as evidenced in part by the fact that you have an individual as influential as Cukierman running to Le Pen’s defense) nevertheless trying to reason with those making up the ‘angry white man’ brigade is as much a wasted venture as trying to teach a dog how to play Chopin on the piano. All that they see is an opportunity to get together with other angry, lonely, embittered whites and complain about how all the ‘darkies’ are taking their women and their jobs and don’t want to be bothered with any talk as to how their frustration is being used to perpetuate the very situation that is (presumably) the source of their anger in the first place.

Some prominent Jewish groups and individuals slammed Cukierman, president of the CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities, for the remarks he made Monday during an interview for Europe 1 Radio in reference to France’s pro-Nazi collaborationist government and its leader.

“I think that we are all aware in the Jewish world that behind Marine Le Pen, who cannot be faulted personally, there are all the Holocaust deniers, all the supporters of Vichy and [Philippe] Petain,” Cukierman said.

Serge Klarsfeld, a historian and hunter of Nazis, condemned Cukierman’s assertion about Le Pen, as did the left-leaning European Jewish J-Call group and CCLJ, a group representing dovish Belgian Jews.

National Front’s honorary president is Le Pen’s father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has been convicted of Holocaust denial and inciting racial hatred against Jews. Marine Le Pen has rejected his anti-Semitic views and courted French Jews in a move that many observers said was designed to rehabilitate the party’s name.

Klarsfeld’s son, Arno, a prominent activist against racism, said Cukierman’s statements about Le Pen were “unacceptable.”

Cukierman later told French media that Marine Le Pen is “neither irreproachable nor acceptable as long as she does not distance herself from her father.”

In the same interview, which Cukierman gave ahead of Tuesday’s CRIF annual dinner – an event that was attended by French President Francois Hollande – he also said that Muslims were responsible for most anti-Semitic attacks in France today.

In response, the French Council of the Muslim Faith pulled out of the dinner.

But the National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA, backed Cukierman.

“Some are much quicker to attack CRIF than to denounce the horrible crimes of terrorists committed in the name of Islam,” BNVCA wrote in a statement Tuesday.

  1. We should also not forget Israel itself is leaning to the far-right wing, and that the backlash to globalization under neo-liberal capitalism (Jewish right-wing ideology) has been carefully crafted by Zionists and neo-Cons to do exactly what you stated above, push Western politics to the far-right.

    This is why Radical Left coalition of Syriza in Greece, although not perfect, (and I am no fan of Marxism) should be looked at as a possible model. If we are to read Syriza’s 40 original point Manifesto, it is an inspiring document. Note especially numbers 18, and 40.

  3. @Konrad: Must be nice sitting on the side lines judging a party that has been in power for about a month, which has huge amounts of pressure being applied to it from outside sources?

    Doug Henwood and James Galbraith blow such reactionary nonsense out of the water. Probably the best, and most realistic analysis, of Syriza I have yet heard.

  4. @ CHRIS: SYRIZA was a fraud even before they took office. Indeed, that’s why the money powers installed them.

    In less than a month those (profanity deleted) completely sold out to the creditors, and reneged on their promises. Less than a month! That’s disgraceful. But it was no surprise.

    You gave a link to some audio show. The speaker whined about poor SYRIZA being under pressure because Greece is broke.

    But why is Greece broke? Because of the EURO, which your beloved SYRIZA insists on clinging to.

    Greece dumped the drachma and started using the euro on 1 Jan 2001. Because Greece has a trade deficit, and because Greece could no longer create its own money, Greece inevitably fell into severe debt, which opened the door to austerity, which opened the door to more debt, and more austerity, and more debt.

    Solution: Mgo back to using the drachma, like before. But the money masters, and the clown your audio program, claim that this would be disastrous. Why? Because Germany and the vampire banksters would no longer be able to suck Greece’s blood. Better for Greece to keep the euro, and thereby continue to fall deeper into debt forever.

    Here is a link that explains why your beloved SYRIZA is a pack of (profanity deleted)…

  5. @KONRAD: I must say I find it highly suspicious that you do not call for the dissolving of the United State’s because of its banking system, but yet argue that the European Union should be dissolved because of its banking system?

    Strange…

    By the way, most Greeks actually want to stay in the EU, as do my German relatives, some of whom were National Socialists who served the Third Reich. National Socialism is about unification though, and not division, (which you seem to favor), so it’s not hard to see why.

    I also find it odd that you support Greece leaving the EU because of corrupt bankers, yet have little to say about Europe leaving NATO, which is the real big stinker on that continent?

    “…Furthermore, 74.2% of Greeks answered “yes” or “probably yes” on whether Greece should stay in the Eurozone “at all costs.” This figure has increased significantly compared to the previous survey (May 2013) when it was moving at around 63.5%…”.

  6. @ CHRIS Is that the best you can do?

    The euro scam has nothing to do with banking systems. It’s a question of monetary sovereignty, which the euro-zone nations surrendered to the Troika.

    Furthermore I said nothing about the 28 states of the European Union. I condemned the euro-zone structure, which consists of 19 states. Please learn the difference. (Never mind. With you, it’s useless.) Also I have constantly railed against the USA for its lies that the US government is “broke.”

    “By the way, most Greeks actually want to stay in the EU, as do my German relatives, some of whom were National Socialists who served the Third Reich. National Socialism is about unification though, and not division, (which you seem to favor), so it’s not hard to see why.”

    The euro scam is the opposite of National Socialism. The scam is designed to crush the middle and lower classes into the dirt, and to widen the gap between the rich and the rest.

    “I also find it odd that you support Greece leaving the EU because of corrupt bankers, yet have little to say about Europe leaving NATO, which is the real big stinker on that continent?”

    WTF has NATO got to do with this topic? You are really getting desperate.

    “…Furthermore, 74.2% of Greeks answered “yes” or “probably yes” on whether Greece should stay in the Eurozone “at all costs.” This figure has increased significantly compared to the previous survey (May 2013) when it was moving at around 63.5%…”.

    Precisely! That is why average Greeks will continue to have more poverty and austerity.

    You are out of your depth on this issue, talking about things you have no grasp of.

    Your beloved SYRIZA has done an about-face and betrayed its worshippers, exactly as I said they would. For me, it is a case of “I hate it when I’m right.”
