Southern California neo-Nazis wish Jews happy Rosh Hashana

Tell us again how the anti-Semitic upsurge is all in our imagination. We keep forgetting. From KNBC, Los Angeles, Sept. 22:

ENCINO, Calif. -- Two flags depicting Nazi swastikas were draped over a freeway overpass in Encino on Friday, on the eve of the Jewish High Holy Days.

Authorities began receiving calls around 5:45 a.m. that the flags were hanging from the Balboa Boulevard overcrossing to the eastbound Ventura (101) Freeway, said California Highway Patrol Officer Francisco Villalobos.

"Obviously, they're offensive, and a huge distraction," CHP Officer Leland Tang said in a televised news report.

Officers went to the location and removed the banners.

Swastika symbols were displayed about the same time from two freeway overpasses in San Diego County.

Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, begins at sundown.

To Jews around the world, the swastika is a hated reminder of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis.

Hanging any kind of flag or sign from an overpass is illegal, authorities said.

"It's obviously not a coincidence that they're doing it on the High Holy Days," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. "It's a reminder that there are racists and bigots and anti-Semites out there.

Cooper said he and many Southland Jews will welcome the new year by praying for world peace, and that members of the local Jewish community were more concerned with events in Israel, Iran and Lebanon than swastikas on a freeway.

"This is an act of hate that hurts and angers, but it pales in comparison that you have a regime in Iran that is having Holocaust cartoon contests ... and is set to be the next member of the nuclear club," Cooper said.

See our last posts on resurgent Jew-hatred and Hitler-nostalgia from California to Bombay. Even the Pope is getting in on the act. Iran seems almost too obvious to mention.

Just asking

Isn't this endless carping about how "the new anti-Semitism" is just a Zionist propaganda ploy getting a little old?

Comrades:

Our comrades in the National Socialist Liberation Front, a group composed, at least in part, of fans of our Overthrow.com website, and, I strongly suspect, the Nazi.org website as well, have today taken responsibility for draping dozens of flags over freeway overpasses in heavily Jewish parts of Southern California and Central Florida -- and possibly other cities.

I would like to thank our comrades in the NSLF for their actions today and for raising consciousness about the Jewish Kol Nidre prayer, which Jews believe makes it okay to break promises to and steal from non-
Jews.

This kind of guerilla action is exactly what our units in various states should be contemplating.

Heil Hitler!

In solidarity,

Bill White, Commander

Sarcasm alert

Counterpunch vindicated—no anti-Semitism around here!

Nazis, jihads, god and other associated maladies

are on the rise with a concomitant fall in the cumulative human index of reason.
