What?? This is like have Black Klu Klux Klan members....It's like a real life Dave Chappelle skit
Police: Israeli neo-Nazi ring busted
By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer Sun Sep 9, 7:25 AM ET
JERUSALEM - In a case that would seem unthinkable in the Jewish state, police said Sunday they have cracked a cell of young Israeli neo-Nazis accused in a string of attacks on foreign workers, religious Jews, drug addicts and gays.
Eight immigrants from the former Soviet Union have been arrested in recent days in connection with at least 15 attacks, and a ninth fled the country, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said, in the first such known cell to be discovered in Israel.
All the suspects are in their late teens or early 20s and have Israeli citizenship, Rosenfeld said.
"The level of violence was outrageous," Maj. Revital Almog, who investigated the case, told Israel's Army Radio.
A court decided Sunday to keep the young men in custody. They covered their faces with their shirts during the hearing, revealing their tattooed arms, and did not comment.
News of the arrests came as a shock in Israel, which was founded nearly 60 years ago as a refuge for Jews in the wake of the Nazi Holocaust and remains a most sensitive subject. Any forms of anti-Semitism around the world outrage Israelis, and the discovery of such violence in the country's midst made the front pages of newspapers and dominated talk on morning radio shows.
The gang documented its activities on film and in photographs. Israeli TV stations showed grainy footage of people lying helpless on floors while several people kicked them, and of a man getting hit from behind on the head with an empty bottle.
Police found knives, spiked balls, explosives and other weapons in the suspects' possession, Rosenfeld said. One photo that was seized showed one suspect holding an M16 rifle in one hand and in the other, a sign reading "Heil Hitler," he added.
Police discovered the skinhead ring after investigating the desecration of two synagogues that were sprayed with swastikas in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva more than a year ago, Rosenfeld said.
Police computer experts have determined they maintained contacts with neo-Nazi groups abroad, and materials seized include a German-language video about neo-Nazis in the U.S.
The group planned its attacks, and its targets were foreign workers from Asia, drug addicts, homosexuals, punks and Jews who wore skullcaps. In one case they discussed planning a murder, Rosenfeld said, without providing details.
Some of the victims filed official complaints with police, and other victims were identified after police viewed the films and photos.
In the past, there have been only isolated cases of neo-Nazi activity in Israel. "This is the first time that we've ... arrested such a large number of individuals who are part of an organized neo-Nazi group," Rosenfeld said.
Under Israeli law, a person can claim citizenship if a parent or grandparent has Jewish roots. Authorities say that formulation allowed many Soviets with questionable ties to Judaism to immigrate here after the Soviet Union disintegrated. About 1 million Soviets moved here in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Rosenfeld said all the suspects had "parents or grandparents who were Jewish in one way or another."
Israel doesn't specifically have a hate crimes law, and suspects in past cases have been tried as Holocaust deniers, he said.
The Anti-Defamation League, a U.S.-based group that fights anti-Semitism, condemned the neo-Nazi cell, but urged Israelis not to stigmatize the entire Russian immigrant community based on the acts of what appeared to be a marginal group.
"The suspicion that immigrants to Israel could have been acting in praise of Nazis and Hitler is an anathema to the Jewish state and is to be repelled," the statement read. "The tragic irony in this is that they would have been chosen for annihilation by the Nazis they strive to emulate."
Amos Herman, an official with the semiofficial Jewish Agency, which works on behalf of the government to encourage immigration to Israel, said the phenomenon was not representative of the Russian immigration.
He called the gang a group of frustrated, disgruntled youths trying to strike at the nation's most sensitive core.
"We thought that it would never happen here, but it has and we have to deal with it," he said.

This is what I thought about when I started reading the article.
No big surprise, I guess. A lot of these quarter-Jewish Russians probably moved to Israel simply because they wanted a better standard of living, without having developed any serious emotional connection to Judaic culture or religion.
I'm a bit surpised to hear that they had hooked up with international neo-nazi networks, though, because you'd think that those guys would observe some sort of "one drop rule" in regards to who they regard as Jewish. Mind you, I wonder if some of these Israeli Nazis were without any Jewish blood at all(ie. they were Jewish through adoption or step-parents.) |

Stranger than ( e.g. Spielberg & Stone Inc's. phony prolefeed Hollywood ) fiction.
The historical reign of terror rooted in Nazi / Zionist collusion still plagues us even today  |

It has yet to be determined whether any have Jewish lineage and, as OTOH pointed out, regardless they were obviously disconnected from their faith and culture.
The Russians, by the way, have a long history of anti-Semitism, worse than the strain afflicting parts of Western Europe. |

I just found it sort of strange to pull that kind of crap in Israel of all places. That's like having a KKK rally in Harlem...just plain unbelievable... |

Fact is, it's a cool ancient Aryan symbol; one which the Nazi/Zionist cabal usurped & perversely propagated. Tragedy |

The thing about it i find most sinister is how the term "anti" semit-ISM is presumably self evident. Has anyone ever researched this one ??? The goods definately are out there.
Fact is this term not only has a VERYinteresting history, but is also perpetually exploited for the cheapest of political gain in what can easily be interpreted as part of the campaign to further establish global Zion-ISM as essentially the planet's 4th Reich.
