White Supremacists React to Sikh Temple Shootings

Since the Sikh tem­ple shoot­ing in Wis­con­sin on August 5, reac­tions from Amer­i­can white suprema­cists have var­ied widely, from deplor­ing the shoot­ings to prais­ing the shooter, Wade Michael Page.

Early responses occurred before white suprema­cists learned the shooter was a long-time white suprema­cist.  Many reac­tions expressed con­cern that the mass shoot­ing would prompt calls for gun control. Others were unhappy with the tar­get.  “I have to say that Sikhs are the least objec­tion­able non-White immi­grant group in North Amer­ica by far!!” wrote one poster on the white suprema­cist dis­cus­sion forum Storm­front.   Another Storm­fron­ter agreed:  “There’s so many legit­i­mate ene­mies, it’s just so stu­pid to pick Sikhs.”  A poster to the Van­guard News Net­work (VNN) asked, “Why get focused on Sikhs?  Just weird.  Very spe­cific turd in a giant sewer…Our worst ene­mies are jews and white trai­tors.  If you aren’t fight­ing them, you just aren’t living.”

Oth­ers made crude jokes, as did this Storm­fron­ter from Wis­con­sin:  “In a related story, sev­eral gas sta­tions and con­ve­nience stores in the Mil­wau­kee area have put out Help Wanted signs.”

Soon, how­ever, white suprema­cists learned of Page’s extrem­ist past, prompt­ing a gen­eral attempt at dis­tanc­ing them­selves.  Some claimed the shoot­ing was not rep­re­sen­ta­tive of white suprema­cists.  Oth­ers thought it was poor tar­get­ing.  “He…never learned the cru­cial les­son,” posted one Storm­fron­ter.  “Don’t attack the symp­toms, attack the cause.”  A VNN poster opined that “I don’t mind the mas­sacres so much as the sheer idiocy of those doing the shoot­ing, the ran­dom thought­less­ness of their tar­gets.  If they are going to go out in a blaze of glory then they should at least attempt to select more polit­i­cally sig­nif­i­cant tar­gets instead of mean­ing­less indi­vid­u­als.”  Many expressed fear of a back­lash against the white suprema­cist movement.

Oth­ers, how­ever, thought of Page as a mar­tyr to the cause.  “See you in Val­halla, brother,” posted Zach But­ler, a North Car­olina white suprema­cist, to his Face­book pro­file.  One Orange County based white power music band, Armed and Ready, posted to its Face­book page:  “R.I.P. Brother Wade, out with a whim­per or out with a bang, it’s your choice.”

These sorts of sen­ti­ments appeared espe­cially pop­u­lar among mem­bers and sup­port­ers of the Ham­mer­skins, the large racist skin­head group of which Page was a mem­ber.   “For Wade, the fight goes on,” posted one Idaho Ham­mer­skin to Face­book.  “R.I.P. brother, you’ll be missed!” wrote another.  “RIP, Wade, U were one hell of a white patriot,” posted Robert Kopko, a Florida Ham­mer­skin.  Sev­eral days later, he announced that he was “gonna go out with some broth­ers an[d] have a cou­ple drinks for a fallen patriot.”  Another Florida Ham­mer­skin wrote that “I miss my good friend WADE!  HAIL WADE!!”

Anti-Semite Gilad Atzmon to Speak at “Global March to Jerusalem” Benefit in Oakland

Update: The Mal­onga Cen­ter decided not to host the event because of a per­mit issue and the event was ulti­mately held at a nearby Islamic Cul­tural Center.”
 
Gilad Atz­mon, an anti-Semitic author, writer and musi­cian based in Lon­don, is sched­uled to speak in Oak­land, Cal­i­for­nia, on Feb­ru­ary 25, at a “ben­e­fit for the Global March to Jerusalem – North America.”

Accord­ing to a flyer pub­li­ciz­ing the event, Atz­mon will appear with Den­nis Bern­stein, pro­ducer and co-host of KPFA news pro­gram, Flash­points Radio, at the Mal­onga Casquelourd Cen­ter for the Arts, which is admin­is­tered by the City of Oak­land and its Depart­ment of Parks and Recre­ation.

The “Global March to Jerusalem” cam­paign seeks to coor­di­nate efforts by activists from around the world to cross Israel’s bor­ders and enter Jerusalem to “demand [its] free­dom” on March 30, 2012. The “Global March to Jerusalem” Face­book page is rife with anti-Semitic and other extreme content. 

While Atz­mon rejects being char­ac­ter­ized as an anti-Semite, the fol­low­ing remarks from his writ­ings reveal an almost obses­sive hatred of Jews and Jew­ish identity.
·    “Tol­er­ance, democ­racy and lib­er­al­ism, are for­eign to Jew­ish polit­i­cal pre­cepts which are all racially ori­en­tated and suprema­cist to the bone.”
·     “I like to fight alone; I take respon­si­bil­ity. Along the years, there have been a lot attempts to destroy the few of us who have stood up against Jew­ish power.”
·     “We are all sub­ject to Zion­ist global pol­i­tics. Accord­ing to my model, the credit crunch is in fact a Zion­ist ‘punch’.”
·     “Jews were respon­si­ble for the killing of Jesus.”
·     “If the Left wants to stop Israel for real, then it must openly ques­tion the notion of Jew­ish Power and its role within West­ern pol­i­tics and media. But can the Left do it? I am not so sure.”
·     “I’m not going to say whether it is right or not to burn down a syn­a­gogue, I can see that it is a ratio­nal act.”

Rampant Anti-Semitism on “March to Jerusalem” Facebook Page

Update – Feb­ru­ary 14, 2012: Gilad Atz­mon, an anti-Semitic author, writer and musi­cian, is sched­uled to speak in Oak­land, Cal­i­for­nia, on Feb­ru­ary 25, at a “ben­e­fit for the Global March to Jerusalem – North America.”
The Face­book page of the “Global March to Jerusalem” cam­paign, which is coor­di­nat­ing efforts by activists to cross Israel’s bor­ders and enter Jerusalem to “demand [its] free­dom,” is rife with anti-Semitic and other extreme content.
The des­ig­nated date for the “Global March to Jerusalem” (GMJ) is March 30, 2012, or “Land Day,” which com­mem­o­rates six Israeli Arabs who were killed while protest­ing against Israeli sol­diers in 1976.
The Face­book page fea­tures what it describes as “world­wide Jew­ish lobby news,” which links to an anti-Semitic Web site that fea­tures Holo­caust denial. One of the news items reposted to the Face­book page calls Tel Aviv’s sta­tus as a gay-friendly des­ti­na­tion con­sis­tent with “his­tor­i­cal Jew­ish efforts to spread cor­rup­tion and per­ver­sion among all human societies.”
In early Jan­u­ary, a poll was posted on the GMJ Face­book page with the ques­tion, “Are what the Zion­ists doing to Pales­tine and its peo­ple with expul­sion and killing sim­i­lar to Hitler’s Holo­caust?” The poll choices were, “Yes,” “No,” or “Even Worse.” 
 
Among the extreme com­ments found on the page is one that reads: “We will not go to Jerusalem as if we are going to Paris or as if we are going for tourism…This is our land. This is our coun­try and we shall return to it through blood and mar­tyrs. We will lib­er­ate it from the Jew­ish impu­rity by God’s will…By God we shall not enter it other than con­querors, this is God’s promise and God shall not for­sake his promise.”
 
The admin­is­tra­tor of the page posted a pic­ture of the Ka’aba [the holi­est shrine for Mus­lims] in Mecca with the mes­sage, “The alarm bells are ring­ing for over 65 years…the Zion­ist entity is demand­ing Jew­ish prop­erty in Saudi Ara­bia dat­ing to the prophet’s time.”
