Anti-fas versus neo-Nazis in Dresden —again
World War 4 Report

Hundreds of neo-Nazis attempted to march on Dresden to crash commemorations of the 1945 Allied bombardment, and were blocked by a human chain of thousands of anti-fascists. 

In what has now become an annual ritual, a group of hundreds of neo-Nazis attempted to march on Dresden's city center to crash commemorations of the 1945 Allied bombardment of the eastern German city, and were blocked by a human chain of thousands of anti-fascist activists. Some 13,000 anti-fascists linked arms in a chain stretching for

Hungary: political fight over resurgent fascism
New Jewish Resistance

Legal action is threatened against Hungary's far-right Jobbik party after lawmaker Marton Gyongyosi called for an official "list" of influential Jews in the country. 

Hungary's far-right Jobbik party is radicalizing as fast as it is being mainstreamed. Prime Minister Viktor Orban belatedly condemned Jobbik lawmaker Marton Gyongyosi's call to create a list of Jewish politicians—the day after some 10,000 demonstrated in Budapest to protest the proposal.

France: Muslims under attack... and Jews
Bill Weinberg

A right-wing "Identity Group" seized a mosque in Poitiers, issuing a "declaration of war" against the "Islamization" of France—weeks after a bomb attack on a kosher shop in Paris. 

The interminable divide-and-rule game between Muslims and Jews worldwide goes on, with the latest maddening development in France.

Sikh massacre: fascism, not mental illness
Bill Weinberg

Calling the accused perp in the Oak Creek massacre "insane" misses the point in a fatal way. His atrocity was a political act, and the reply must be political, not therapeutic.

The Aug. 6 massacre of six worshippers at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis. is revealing in its reactions from across the spectrum, but let's start with Mitt Romney.

Neocons diss anti-Semites —yet again... Ho-hum...
Bill Weinberg

The Judeophobic filth that has appeared on MondoWeiss needs to be called out. But once again—why is it only neocon propagandists who will take it on? When will the anti-fascist and anti-Zionist left step up to the plate?

Here we go again. We ourselves have noted before the insidious mainstreaming of anti-Semitism in "progressive" discourse by the likes of the execrable MondoWeiss blog.

Argentina: Menem to be tried for AMIA bombing coverup
World War 4 Report

A judge ordered ex-president Carlos Saúl Menem to stand trial on charges he impeded a probe into the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association, the world's worst anti-Semitic attack since World War II.

Unidentified Argentine judicial sources reported on March 30 that federal judge Ariel Lijo has ordered former president Carlos Saúl Menem (1989-1999) to stand trial on charges that during his presidency he impeded the initial investigation into a July 1994 bombing

Nazis occupy Afghanistan —really
Bill Weinberg

Two years ago when we reported revelations that two Czech NATO commanders in Afghanistan had worn Nazi SS regalia while on duty, everyone told us it was an isolated incident and not to make a big deal of it. What do you say now, pronoiacs?

Ron Paul's Nazi pals
Bill Weinberg

"Anonymous" attacked the website of the neo-Nazi outfit American Third Position, splashing internal e-mails on the group's homepage—to reveal that the "A3P" white supremacists are a well integrated into Ron Paul's political machine! 

Us old-school lefties have been wondering for a quite some time, which is more annoying—the legions of "Anonymous" hacktivists who think that faceless adventurism is the cutting-edge of revolution, or Ron Paul supporters who think that this ultra-reactionary Republ

Greece: fascists take over?
Bill Weinberg

Despite the media line that Greece's new "austerity" government is staffed by non-ideological "technocrats," the administration includes figures from the old-line Greek fascist right, spawn of the military junta that ruled from 1967 to 1974.

The hegemonic media line that Greece's new "austerity" government is being staffed by non-ideological "technocrats" is deflated by Mark Ames on the N

Grim Kristallnacht anniversary in Brooklyn's Midwood
New Jewish Resistance

Vandals torched three cars and scrawled hateful graffiti to mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht this year in Brooklyn's heavily Jewish neighborhood of Midwood. City politicians make the requisite condemnations—even as they betray the Palestinians with endless pro-Israel pronouncements. Where is the single-standard anti-racism?

The UNESCO vote, Zionism and the fascist legacy
Bill Weinberg

A wave of anti-Semitism in Lithuania is seized upon by Israeli commentators to delegitimize Lithuania's vote for Palestine's UNESCO entry. Meanwhile, Israel's own UN ambassador is caught in a photo-op with French ultra-rightist Marine Le Pen...

In the wake of this week's UNESCO vote to admit Palestine as a full member, the legacy of World War II and the Holocaust is once again being used as a political football.

The Wall Street protesters and The Fed
Bill Weinberg

The Occupy Wall Street movement is a big tent, and that's a good thing. But activists should develop some savvy about the conspiranoid thinking that characterizes certain elements at the protests—like their obsessive fixation on the Federal Reserve

Like the rest of our fellow lefties, we've been extremely heartened by the Occupy Wall Street movement—but we've also had to raise some comradely warnings about anti-Semitic tropes that have seeped into the rhetoric of some of the protesters and their supporters.

Sharia and the left
Bill Weinberg

Xenophobes and Christian fundamentalists are behind the anti-sharia measures now passed or pending in more than a dozen states—but secular progressives resist efforts to impose sharia on the unwilling in the Muslim world. Can we avoid confusion?

Oklahoma's constitutional amendment that bars the state's judges form considering sharia law is heading to the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, after Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange ruled it unconstitutional, saying "the will of the ‘majority’ has on occasion conflicted with the constitutional rights of individuals." Oklahomans voted up the amendment last yea

Propaganda vultures still descend on Oslo
Bill Weinberg

Israeli pundit Caroline Glick, cited in the Oslo bomber's manifesto, rails that the struggle against "multiculturalism" (read: Islam) should not falter in the wake of the attacks—while more conspiranoids claim a Mossad "false flag" operation.

Jim Lobe on InterPress Service informs us that Israeli pundit Caroline Glick was among those cited in the

Israelis' perverse glee in Oslo terror
Bill Weinberg

The Israeli troll-o-sphere is abuzz with ghastly cheerleading for the Oslo attacks, while the Jerusalem Post warns of the "the abject failure of multiculturalism." But will the Judeophobes also call out similar verbiage from Pat Buchanan?

The Israeli troll-o-sphere appears to be abuzz with ghastly cheerleading for the Oslo attacks. J.J.

Fear of Muslims unites Oslo bomber, "left"
Bill Weinberg

Accused Oslo bomber Anders Behring Breivik in his manifesto demonizes the Muslims of ex-Yugoslavia as a jihadist menace—as do professional conspiranoids like Wayne Madsen who accuse him of being  a Mossad agent.

Media reports have noted that accused Oslo bomber Anders Behring Breivik indicated through his online spewings that he is a fan of professional IslamophobePam Geller, who led the protes

Islamophobia (not Islam) in Oslo terror
Bill Weinberg

Europe's right-wing media voices all jumped to the al-Qaeda thesis in the Oslo terror attack—but it now emerges the perpetrator is a lone right-wing extremist who evidences the predictable Islamophobic rhetoric in his Internet footprint.

The blood was not even dry from the July 22 coordinated bomb blast and shooting rampage in Oslo that left at least 94 dead before Britain's The Telegraph was asking in a headline, "Oslo explosion: Is

New Jewish Resistance

An unauthorized Slavic Gay Pride march in St. Petersburg, Russia, lasted just four minutes —first violently attacked by hooded neo-Nazis and then dispersed by the police. 

An unauthorized Slavic Gay Pride march in St. Petersburg, Russia, lasted just four minutes on June 25—first attacked by neo-Nazis and then dispersed by the police.

Why are so many right-wing Zionists so clueless? Why does being a friend with them mean you have to think like them? What happened to democracy?

GOP leads fascist attack on Constitution (yes, really)

The push to tweak the 14th Amendment ominously coincides with a mainstreaming of pro-Confederacy revisionism—pointing to the emergence of a homegrown American fascism.

Nazis turned back in Dresden, march in Budapest
World War 4 Report

Thousands of anti-fascists encircled Dresden to block a neo-Nazi "funeral march" commemorating the city's 1945 bombardment, while fascists marched in Budapest to mark its fall to the Allies.

Arizona gunman linked to organized radical right?
Bill Weinberg

A Homeland Security memo states that Jared Loughner—primary suspect in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords—is "possibly linked" to the white supremacist American Renaissance.

Although no other evidence is given, Fox News on Jan. 9 quoted a Department of Homeland Security memo stating that Jared Lee Loughner—primary suspect in the previous day's shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson—is "possibly linked" to American Renaissance, a self-styled far-right think-tank that DHS says promotes views that are "anti-government, anti-immigration, anti-ZOG [Zionist Occupational Government], anti-Semitic."
