Betar and their Brownshirts

I just had a rather silly twitter exchange with a supporter of Betar and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

See here:

Silly of me I know but I responded:

@Nickfromenfield Did you know Betar pioneered the brownshirt uniform "before that upstart Hitler" - according to Jabotinsky?

Well it turns out that Nick from Enfield didn't know that because he responded to me thus:

@jewssf utter garbage you clown shame on you

I was out while this exchange was going on but I told him I'd come up with some evidence.

So here I am on the Betar website.  There's a whole page on Betar ideology and it turns out I made a little error.  Here's the relevant section:

The first convention of Betar (Vienna 1928) resolved that the Betar uniforms especially the brown shirts (which, by the way, were worn before one had heard of the German Nazi movement) should be made by Jewish weavers in Eretz Yisrael.

As it happens the Betar ideology, from the page I linked, is frighteningly similar to nazi ideology but then so was that ghastly speech by UK Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis I posted on recently.

And zionists want it declared antisemitic to compare them to the nazis.  They compare themselves to the nazis it's just some of their supporters just don't seem to know it.

ZioNazi?

I've never liked that expression but what else do you call Netanyahu in this pose?



See this from The Jewish Chronicle:

Abraham Foxman, Director of the New York-based hate-monitor the Anti Defamation League, told The Daily Caller. “I think it is ugly, disgusting, offensive.”

I think this is the first time I've ever agree with Abe.

UPDATE (30/9/2012 20:24) with thanks to Deir Yassin in the comments:



A lot of commentators on Netanyahu's appearance, speech and general performance at the UN recently assumed that Bibi doesn't know what he's doing. This picture from Deir Yassin suggests he knows exactly what he's doing.
