The Jew-baiting students at SOAS (see post below) should know they're in great company in lauding their hero Ken Livingstone. For who should also have come out in staunch support of Ken but David Duke, the American white supremacist, former Ku Klux Klansman and rabid Jew-hater. On his website, Duke foams about yours truly as a 'Jewish supremacist' who has 'unwittingly exposed the real reason why Ken Livingstone is under attack', and draws the attention of racists across the world to this website in order to 'spread the truth' about the evil of the Jews. If you can stomach such ravings, here's a taster:

'You see, you can’t liken an individual Jew, no matter how obnoxious, to a concentration camp guard. You have stepped on the toes of the Holy People, the unassailable people, the people you can’t criticize or God help you!...The will of the people be damned, you cannot offend the real rulers. Get it in your head, you Gentile dolts, we do not live in Democracy. We live in a Jewocracy!'

To David Duke, Ken is a hero because he realised that

'Israel was a Jewish supremacist state that is every bit as “racist” as was Nazi Germany'.

And indeed, if you cover up the top of the page, you might think you were reading a far-left or Islamist website -- because huge chunks of this vile filth about Israel are exactly the the kind of stuff that is currently being churned out by both the left and radical Islamists.

Duke's rantings graphically illustrate what has long been apparent -- that there is now an extraordinary axis linking neo-Nazis or white supremacists, the left and radical Islam, who come together in their hatred of Israel and the Jews. That is why the SOAS students have made a hero out of a man who knowingly compared a Jew to a concentration camp guard and then refused to apologise and vilified Israel instead -- a man who is now a pin-up for American racists, a mascot for Duke's agenda to liberate the world from 'the perversion, the hypocrisy, the evil' of the Jews.

It's Ken's new constituency.
