Antisemitic group hangs banner supporting Kanye West over Los Angeles highway

Source: The Independent (UK)

An antisemitic and white supremacist group unfurled a banner above a busy Los Angeles freeway on Saturday reading “Kanye is right about the Jews” following the rapper’s widely-condemned antisemitic remarks.

The group responsible for the banners above Interstate 405 appears to be the Goyim Defense League, a loose network of virulently antisemitic conspiracy theorists, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

A group also was photographed raising their arms in a Nazi salute above the banners.

Its supporters are responsible for spreading dozens of antisemitic messages across the US while engaging in offensive stunts targeting Jewish people, according to the ADL.

Highway overpass is no place for political rally. Please tell me somebody went to jail for putting this little fete together. I will note that it’s highly provocative - their goal all along.

This is what they do. They choose minorities b/c when it comes down to it, they know they have enough white Christians to back them up.

It's a form of bullying. Having power over others makes them feel good. You'd think psych would have a classification for it, a named disorder, but too much of our modern capitalistic society is built on it.

their immediate troubles but most of us have never encountered a Jewish person so they see the NT attack on Jesus by the Jews as truth although Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem sometime around 30 CE.1 and Pontius Pilate then serving as the Roman prefect (or governor) of Judaea — both presided over the trial of Jesus and gave the order for his crucifixion.

remark to me and I told her that Jesus was a Jew. She was astonished. These people are idiots. Few of them have ever read anything. especially the Bible.

Basically, one of the main reasons Jews are a primary, and easy, target, is because they are always an "other", but what makes us more dangerous in the eyes of bigots, is many of us look like they do. We often started our own businesses when denied access to mainstream society and did well. Many Jews, not all, obviously, lean to more liberal social issues and tend to be ahead of the curve with other minorities' rights; this pisses off the establishment. Some of the hate is simply ignorance of the past, bad relationships of a few with other minorities, and of course, there is the "dead Jesus" thing.

Again, that is a BRIEF history.

Most of the extremist Christians read the bible but they only comprehend it in the way they've been told to. They ignore the parts that don't fit their narrative or they twist it to fit. The same thing happens with the Quran, many of the things extremist Muslims believe aren't in there yet they've had the words twisted the same as the bible.

Silly Black Man, haters gonna hate. And once they run out of the convenient victims -low hanging fruit- then they'll turn gaze upwards to the not quite as accessible pickings. But money and power aside, loaded onto a boxcar is loaded onto a boxcar.

when Cuomo called him Kanye. He said his name is Ye. He said people can say formerly known as Kanye West. This happened a few times in the interview. It really pissed him off. it also really pissed him off when Cuomo interrupts him.

they discussed Kanye's opinion about Jews/record producers. He calls them "the jewish underground media mafia"

just in case anyone wants to see this:

The context was nonviolent resistance training for anti Iraq war protests. Not so, DU?

Those people are anti-American and have earned contempt by their actions. Also I have to acknowledge that they may help us get a few votes that we may not have gotten before. I don’t know how to think about those evils against that good, especially as it relates to the future. I’m going to have to give this some thought.

They definitely should be severely punished.

To those who assert that those are off duty cops, I can’t go there with you.

To a Blackman. That is very bizzare considering the Nazi ideology is all about the superiority of the Aryan race and the inferiority of all other races, especially nonwhite races and Jews. Hence the genocide.

My father who fought in WWII, said the only good Nazi was a dead Nazi. So there are good Nazis, but they are all dead.

love their masks when they aren't associated with Covid-19 prophylaxis. Remember all the talk about how "CO2 will build up and people will die from wearing masks"? Morons.
