Something I find very interesting is the similarity between the Nazis and Zionists. There doesn't seem to be too much about this in cyberspace, so when I run into a mouthful, I'm inclined to share it with others who have a similar taste. This adds to my understanding of the world.

The Obscure Charm of Zionism
A Dialogue between Israel Shamir and Saam Amerat
“Israel Shamir, your arguments have passed their sell-by date.â€
This was the punch line of a letter I received from a previously unknown reader from Britain, Saam Amerat. He wrote:
“There was a time when racist organisations were anti-Zionist. At that time anti-Zionists like yourself were able to talk about working with them. Even though it meant working against anti-Nazis.
But that time is now over.
The Zionists have joined the Nazis, and the Nazis have become Zionists.
Now we see Nazis walking hand in hand down the streets of London with Zionists, they wave Israeli flags with one hand and give Nazi salutes with the other.
So your arguments have passed their sell-by date.
And you haven't kept up.â€
Shamir: Indeed, Saam is right, up to a point. The political setup is changing; the new fad is the pro-Zionist swing of the European far-right. Once, they were against Jews, ergo, they were against the Zionist enterprise as well. Now they have discovered the obscure charm of Zionism. The more successful far-right parties of Europe have embraced Israel, have opened their gates to Jews and now are mainly carrying out an anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant agenda. Anti-Zionism is just too expensive – anti-Zionist right-wing parties are usually described as “neo-Nazi anti-Semitesâ€, they find themselves out in the cold, without access to media, totally de-legitimised. But it enough for them to support Israel to become perfectly legitimate.
Gianfranco Fini (a leader of the Italian National Alliance) discovered this solution a long time ago. Fascist or not, but after his visit to Israel and a photo-op with Sharon in the Holocaust museum he became kosher, he made it to the top.
In the UK, the BNP became more Israel-friendly. The BNP has a few Jews and Zionists at the top. Anti-zionists Martin Webster, a former leader of National Front, and Robert Edwards, a leader of the socialist wing of the nationalist movement, have much less money, media coverage and public support.
In Sweden, the far right has been divided into pro-Zionist and anti-Zionist. Now, a few years after the split, pro-Zionist Sweden Democrats are on the verge of entering the parliament, as Jewish-owned media have ceased boycotting them. The anti-Zionist National Democrats are tiny and boycotted.
In France, Jean-Marie Le Pen exercised a steady anti-Zionist influence, despite having some Jews in top spots. But now the old man is on his way out, and his daughter (and probable successor) Marine is likely to change its agenda into anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant. The Jews work at it. A supporter of Marine Le Pen, Pierre Cassen, had organized a free wine-with-pork sausages street party at Muslim prayer time on Friday in the heavily Muslim area of Paris, La goutte d'or (it was stopped in the end, by the government) – and he was immediately invited for a conference by the Bnei Brith (or B'nai B'rith), the Zionist-Masonic organization and founder of ADL.
It is even worse in the Netherlands and Denmark, where the far right is strictly Zionist.
