Max Blumenthal Too Anti-Semitic Even for German Commies

Max Blumenthal really hates Jews. He hates Jews so much that one of his conspiracy theories about Israel was reposted by the Neo-Nazi gunman who opened fire at a Kansas City Jewish community center.

His book Goliath does its best to mock the Holocaust while depicting Jews as the New Nazis with chapters like “How To Kill Goyim And Influence People”. It’s the sort of deranged hatefest you expect from a guy living in a trailer in the woods, except it comes from a Clinton associate backed by The Nation.

So Germany’s Left Party, the successors of the East German Communist dictatorship, decided to invite Max Blumenthal and his even crazier pal David Sheen to spew hate about Jews under the guise of being “Anti-Zionist”. Sheen, like Blumenthal, also specializes in calling Jews, Nazis. Except that Sheen also rants about Judaism and “Jewish Supremacy”.

If Sheen sounded a lot like a Nazi, that made the invite more appropriate and controversial.

In the end Max Blumenthal proved to be too anti-Semitic even for German Commies.

The Volksbühne, a popular theater in East Berlin, pulled the plug on an anti-Israel event slated for Sunday because of expected anti-Semitism.

The Roter Salon was to host two fringe anti-Zionist activists, Max Blumenthal and David Sheen, for a discussion on the “Middle East Conflict and the Drift of Israeli Society toward the Right.”

The timing of the event was also predictable.

The seminar had been scheduled for this coming Monday, November 10 – one day after the 76th anniversary of the infamous Kristallnacht pogrom in Nazi Germany. Blumenthal’s appearance was secured by two Die Linke MPs, Inge Höger and Annette Groth, who were both on board the Turkish Mavi Marmara ship that attempted to illegally break the Israeli security blockade of Gaza in 2010.

The Green Party MP Volker Beck, who is also chairman of the German-Israeli parliamentary group, declared that “while there are legitimate criticisms of Israeli policy, Blumenthal has consistently made anti-Semitic comparisons between Israel and Nazism.”

The Simon Wiesenthal Center has included Blumenthal in its “top 10″ list of anti-Semitic slurs for 2013, because of chapter headings in “Goliath,” such as “The Concentration Camp” and “How to Kill Goyim and Influence People.”

Maybe Max Blumenthal can travel back in time to the 30s. He would be much more popular in Germany then.
