UPDATE 2 (Dec.1, 2015)
For the view of Dieudonne among liberal Jews, see this New Yorker post.
[Notice the very poor photograph of Dieudonne used, calculated to make him look unhinged. Notice that there is nothing about Bernard-Henry Levy’s political positions; there is nothing about the Iraq war and its influence in the radicalization of Dieudonne…and very many other people I might add. In short, the commentary like too much “liberal” commentary, is shorn of every political context that would explain the conundrums it raises with so much feigned puzzlement and intellectual bad faith.]
Update 1
I support Dieudonne’s right to political speech free of government censorship. But private disapproval is not government censorship and people should be free to boycott or avoid his speech.
Furthermore, after looking more closely at Dieudonne’s political ties, I’m inclined to believe he is “controlled opposition.”
That is usually the case for many of these high-profile dissidents.
I may be wrong, but there are too many tell-tale signs that he is an unwitting front for other forces or being used by more malign people.
More on that later.
ORIGINAL POST
You’ve heard of banana republics – miserable tropical countries whose chief products are bananas and corrupt dictators.
Now there is a pineapple republic, until now known as France.
Why pineapple?
Because in France one no longer has the political freedom to place a simple tropical fruit – the pineapple – next to a historical event (the holocaust) and set them to music.
Not unless you want to cough up 30,000 euros and go to jail for two months, as French-Cameroonian comedian Dieudonne M’bala M’bala has found out.
So much for political freedom in Europe.
You are, of course, free to refer to Muslims, brown people, and blacks as sub-human vermin, call their religion Satanic and their gods devils, call them pedophiles and rapists (when most of the rape, porn, and pedophilia in the world actually emanates from Western institutions), starve and murder millions of them, ravage and destroy their countries, steal their oil, bomb them back to the stone-ages to which you routinely claim they belong, destroy their monuments and their memories, enslave them on a global plantation in which you are the overseers by virtue of systemic financial fraud, poison their waters and their skies, burn them alive in cities, stage false-flag attacks to provoke hatred of them, ruin their industries, ruin their agriculture, extort, blackmail and bribe their leaders, spy on them, torture them, create false histories of them and whole sciences devoted to proving their sub-humanity.
But never, never, never place a tropical fruit next to a dead Jew and set the thing to music.
