Irrespective of M'bala's motive and intent behind the gesture, its likely to be used by both anti-zionists and anti-Semites thus making it difficult to distinguish the context of individual examples.
It's so rare that we agree on something. Today is a special day, thanks Dieudonné.
Yes. I want him to face charges for the horrendous stuff he said not for the stuff we all assume he will say however right we might be in this assumption. The guy has been making a business out of his hatred for Jews since about 10 years. You ARE deluded about not seeing the latter though.
I'm as afraid of the consequences of this judicial clusterfuck as of the influence this human turd has on impresionnable people.
Someone here said its predominantly muslims groups in France doing it but more than half dont even look muslims and nazis hate muslims and Arabs too. So I am confused

Shouldn't even give these morons the satisfaction of discussing it. Also nazi salute is really the roman salute. So kinda defeats the whole argument.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_saluteAccording to common perceptions, this salute was based on an ancient Roman custom.[1] However, this description is unknown in Roman literature and is never mentioned by ancient historians of Rome.[1] Not a single Roman work of art, be it sculpture, coinage, or painting, displays a salute of this kind.[1] The gesture of the raised right arm or hand in Roman and other ancient cultures that does exist in surviving literature and art generally had a significantly different function and is never identical with the modern straight-arm salute.[1]
So this Dieudonné is like, what, the George Carlin of France? A Dennis Miller? Is this salute a part of some skit he does?
what is it really? I mean foodwise
Let's put some nicer images to cleanse this thread from the hateful comedian (and the morons that follow him even over here).

"It seems to me that past a certain age (translator's note : I reckon that's 12), one has to be prodigiously dumb or naive to believe that this gesture is anti-establishment and not a gesture of antisemitic hate."

That being said, the decision of the supreme court is illegal, totally counter-effective and an unacceptable blow to freedom of speech. France will be condemned by the European Court of Human Rights. Our money, getting into his pockets, when he could have been condemned or even put to jail for the fines rightuflly put upon him that he didn't pay.
Dis-moi que c'est un sarcasme.
Well if he started it and he is an antisemite, any intelligent anti-zionist will back away from this to avoid falling into the obvious trap of doing antisemite stuff to criticize Israeli policies in Palestine.
They have a government hell-bent on ethnic cleansing, a racist apartheid system and a take-over of an whole peoples land.

That's not even properly documented to be true, AFAIK.

They've also been the scapegoat for everything in past history. I don't know if true but I've
read somewhere that the blame for The Black Death was laid on them, lol.
But yeah looking at some of the links this Quenelle thing looks to be absolutely anti-semitic IMO. Seems like an excuse by people to do a heil but not really a heil.
EDIT: Those fines are just ridicilous though. Freedom of speech etc. etc ?
Yes! Their 'government' are truly monsters. We really oughta do something about that despotic Jewish overlord, leader of all Jews, Benjamin Netanyahu, whose outright word commands the Jews.
I suppose we should also do something about the global leader Christendom - uh, who was that again?
sarcasm, don't ban please

"I'm going to take a piss on Anne Frank because Fuck Israel!" Makes about as much sense as a Westboro Baptist protest.
Even if these people aren't antisemitic, they're idiots.
It is very much possible to protest and debate the activities of the Israeli government without being a complete asshat.
Seems more like a Larry the Cable Guy
I don't know the people you're referring to (I'll google them) but yes, the quenelle, the song Shoananas and the other memes mentioned in this thread did originate from his skits. However, his rabid hate of Jews and interest in conspiracy theories are 100% genuine. He's serious about that.
By the way, if you're asking me whether I would call Dieudonné an anti-semite, my answer is: yes, absolutely. I would go so far as to call him a total bastard. He's gone so far in 'anti-zionism' that it doesn't fool anyone anymore. I don't see how mere anti-zionism could justify what he said about Patrick Cohen, for instance. That's a dead giveaway.
Are his followers idiots at best and evil at worst? Also yes. Do I think he should be fined, imprisoned or banned for the crap that comes out of his mouth? No. If that makes me one of his supporters then so be it.
Please, NVB's politics belong to a totally different debate. This is getting off-topic.
Edit: Now the government wants Youtube and Dailymotion to delete Dieudonné's videos. Who's the more fascist?
Poor Theodor Herzl must be so annoyed by all this anti-zionism.
If one wants to criticize Israel, fine, just say so. Nobody has ever been prevented to do so (Jews do fail miserably at pulling those strings it seems).
Or that one is anti-israel even. Anti-zionism doesn't mean shit: it's a cowardly gimmick marketed by genuine antisemites. Using that dodgy term serves no purpose and prevents you from being taken seriously.
Way too complicated it seems (or there are no such things). I mean, in this very thread you can read such a gem :
in reply to :
I mean, it's a religion, it's an ethnicity, it's a government, it's a country, it's a language I mean who in their right mind would understands this quantum physics level of complicated shit?
You are dumb, I'm pro-Palestinian and all you're doing is making everyone who is one look like an antisemite.

It strikes me now but.
What's a non racist apartheid?
I just wanted to add the word for the dramatic effect!
The whole thing is a mess
Israel was created as a religious Jewish state. So technically criticizing Israel and not Jews will still earn you the anti Semite tag from any Israeli or Jew. Its a no win situation when it comes to debating it.

And in doing so you weakened your argument because that kind of hyperbole with this subject is usually a good filter for people who don't know wth they're talking about.
Seriously I tune out people whose sentence doesn't make sense to me.
I'm not saying that's the case here, I do know that the situation here is serious and everything but when you're telling me that the problem is serious enough that lives are at stake I expect tight argumentation.Have a nice day!
EDIT: Add me to your ignore list if you're not comfortable reading negative stuff about Israel.
EDIT: And in exactly the State of Israels case, every single word I wrote is exactly not hyperbole.
It is the reality on the ground, for the Palestinians, for the Arab Israelis and for the African asylum seekers.
People who do that are shit heads and extremists (not different from other extreme nationalists) and deflecting those accusations isn't really hard, proving them right is the worst thing to do in any case.
People who are brain washed to be always pro-Israeli need to be explained why what Israel is doing is bad. If you start raving about the Holocaust you're never going to win them over.
Are you surprised that the actions of the Israeli government creates anti-semitism with stupid people who doesn't know that there is a difference between a jew and a zionist ?
You know what? I'm getting sick of people use the stupid fucking argument "anti-Zionism" as shield when they are saying shit like this. They are too much of a coward to not coming forward and saying that they hate the Jews. If you want to critices the state of Israel, sure go and do that, but don't say antisemitic shit and use "i'm just anti-Zionism hurr durr" as a shield for it.
Its the same as someone starting a sentence with "I'm not racist, but..."
You know its going to be something terribly offensive.
Credit to some comedian who's joke I used, can't remember who it was though.
I'm confused, are you speaking about yourself ? Because that's exactly what you did. And sadly I am not surprised, as antisemitism long predates the creation of the State of Israel.
You are also still confused as you don't seem to grasp (or feign to not grasp) the meaning of the word Zionist. Let me give it to you: zionism is the belief that a Jewish State should be established on the land of Israel (not to be confused with the unlawful actual borders of the actual State of Israel).
So I'm Jewish, I am also an atheist, I am also a zionist in that I want Israel to exist as Jewish state and finally I consider myself pro-palestinian because I want Palestinians to have a real sovereign State with real rights and freedoms, a real unoccupied land and the end of all and any military or otherwise violent actions which have been shamefully perpetrated by Israel agains them since Israel's inception or so.
That being said I am also not Israeli and no more responsible for Israel's actions than you are.
The Israeli state is an terrorist state, hell bent on ethnic cleansing
Shouldn't even give these morons the satisfaction of discussing it. Also nazi salute is really the roman salute. So kinda defeats the whole argument.
I don't think this means what you think it means.
Do you realise this site put a context focus on all the people who do the quenelle? this gesture have been done by the fan of Dieudonne for more than 7 years now and more than 1000 pictures exist of people doing it, less than 1% of this pictures have connection of anything jewish.Holy shit, wasn't aware of this. ComputerMK seriously defending this?
It represents sticking your arm up someone,s ass up to the shoulder. It's basically a "fuck you". What it has come to signify though might be different. It could now represent a blocked Nazi-salute (as if "the establishment" is blocking one's arm from being raised to make the salute).
But in the minds of the Nazis, it was. Same reason people in medieval times thought people in antiquity lived in castles and were wearing the same clothes they did, even though people who were educated knew otherwise. The iron eagle sitting on the wreath is pretty obvious as another Roman symbol the Nazis took.
Lmao this makes sense. On the wiki page there was a picture of a guy doing it and the sleeve of his shirt had measurements up it. So I guess depending on how high he held his hand up against the measuring arm doing the downward salute that's how far up someone's ass they are going and subsequently how big the "fuck you" is.
If I recall correctly some Arabs in the WWII era admired Hitler and despised the Jews and tried to align themselves with nazi germany.Someone here said its predominantly muslims groups in France doing it but more than half dont even look muslims and nazis hate muslims and Arabs too. So I am confused
Well shit man that's fucking awesome. I can see how it would catch on. If it's true that 1% of the images showing people disrespecting Jewish memorials doing the "salute" were just cherry picked then I'd have to consider maybe it's just a gesture of disrespect that some people use to disrespect jews and not exclusively some sort of antisemitic salute.Yes, that's the idea.
Even Varg Vikernes, who was also targeted by Manuel Valls, made the gesture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG5nqSXcSCc
