English Defence League & the Surfing Rabbi demonstration London October 24th

anonymous | 20.10.2010 12:43 | Anti-racism | South Coast | World

The English Defence League are forging ever greater ties with Jewish communites. On October the 24th 2010 the EDL will be demonstrating in support of Israel alongside Rabbi Shifren the US schoolteacher known as the 'Surfing Rabbi.' The UAF & the MDL will be counter protesting the visiting Jews & EDL including the EDL Jewish Division who number around 100. EDL nationwide will be attending.

The Jewish Chronicle have covered the forthcoming EDL and the so called 'Surfing Rabbi' protest here

The Muslim Defence League are a mirror group of the EDL. They sent an anti white racist threat to the Whitechapel Anarchists Group in June and have posted anti Semitic views on their facebook site. An innocent antifascist photographer was labelled EDL by the MDL who never printed an apology. The MDL is run by Axe Khabir currently of Maida Vale and Foisal Uddin currently of the Barking area of outer London.

The English Defence League are forming splinter groups. Tommy Robinson of Luton expelled key EDL members and some have since formed the North West Infidels, West midlands Infidels and other Infidels groups. John Snowy Shaw from Yorkshire, notorious for scaling a rooftop n Dudley for an EDL demo has left the EDL. He accused Tommy Robinson of taking £160,000 of monies from EDL members. He said that the money was from the EDL clothing and other merchandise. Snowy is involved with forming the new Infidels groups who are concentrated in the north and midlands areas of the UK.

The creation of ties with Jewish groups appears to be a move away from the extreme elements of the right wing of the EDL. The EDL have always had a bond with Zionist groups ie the EDL Jewish division run by Roberta Moore from Brazil. The EDL are set to forge new bonds with Jewish communities as a result of their latest move to protest in favour of Israel. The EDL are also rumoured to be forming ties with the American Tea Party.

The UAF and EDL details for their protests on October 24th are on their respective websites.

EDL thug left man brain damaged after unprovoked attack

20.10.2010 15:00

A dangerous man who left his victim with a permanent brain injury has been released from jail early and is taking part in EDL protests. Bernard Holmes, 25, formerly of Coleridge Street, Blackburn, was jailed for 2 years and 4 months for causing grievous bodily harm to Shaun Baxendale, who was left with catastrophic injuries in the unprovoked May 2009 attack.

EDL are NOT forging greater ties with Jews

20.10.2010 21:25

The evidence presented here shows the opposite to what the article claims. Yes the EDL linked with a tiny handful of politically opportunistic, naive, extreme right-wing Jews (let's face it, there are nutters in every community) and just ONE very gullible Rabbi, who isn't even from the UK, but in fact what the Jewish Chronicle article proves is that the Jewish COMMUNITY in Britain want nothing to do with the EDL

Just to remind you all, when the EDL / SIOE protested against Harrow Mosque, Jewish councillor Jeremy Zeid and many Rabbis SUPPORTED the Muslim community and SUPPORTED Harrow Mosque -

A message to all British Muslims

20.10.2010 21:43

The MDL are not beyond criticism by any means, but readers should beware of EDL organiser Jeff Marsh constantly posting on Indymedia trying to start shit between Muslims and Jews, and trying to start shit between Muslims and anarchists. There are a TINY number of (non-British and very gullible) Jews like Pamela Geller and Matthew Kaplan, who've emerged from state of near total political naivete, and decided to respond to some kind of personal tragedy by hurling themselves into political movements the complexities of which they just don't understand; but if intelligent, well-informed Muslims want to learn what intelligent, well-informed Jews really think of the EDL they should be aware that all the major, mainstream British Jewish groups all know full-well that the EDL is a Fascist front. Here's the proof....

Put it this way, if the Israeli ambassador comes out of the Israeli embassy and physically embraces EDL activists Jeff Marsh and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, hugs them warmly, and invites them inside for champagne and canapes to thank the EDL for supporting Israel, then I'll eat my hat; but if the Israeli embassy leave the EDL out on the pavement then it's safe to assume that, like Geert Wilders, the Israelis want nothing whatsoever to do with the EDL because they know the EDL are at core very much a bunch of racist cunts

Jews supporting the Palestinian cause

20.10.2010 22:06

The screen-cap shown above does NOT prove that MDL members have written "EDL are donkey's for the Jews" - what it proves is that someone called Al Asad has written "EDL are donkey's for the Jews" - no proof has been offered that this person has anything to do with the MDL. The photos here however show even ultra-religious Jews support the Palestinian cause and show EDL revealing their true Anti-Semitism. This is not the black-and-white issue EDL trolls want Muslims to believe it is as people decide their political allegiances according to personal convictions and not according to simplistic racial stereotypes

A Rabbi has had a red linr drawn through his photo by antisemitic MDL

21.10.2010 08:21

Rabbi Shifren a schoolteacher from the US has had a red line drawn through his photo by the MDL. This alongside the numerous antisemitic comments made by MDL members is proving the group to be antisemitic. When the EDL claim that "the racists are nothing to do with them" no one believs it and no one should believe that the MDL are not antisemitic because they are. The MDL have sent racist threats to the Whitechapel Anarchists. They hate white people and Jews.
Close them down and fast.
