Germany – An American Jewish group is applauding German police for taking former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke into custody before he could address a far-right gathering.

Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants, said Wednesday the move “sends an important signal that firm action against those who advocate hate must remain central to Germany’s moral and legal agenda.”
Cologne police say Duke, 61, was taken into custody Friday before his speech for breaking a travel-ban to many European nations including Germany.
They say the U.S. resident was released and forced to leave the country and that they do not know where he is now.
Duke’s website called the incident “thuggish communist-style oppression to suppress the right-wing.”
I guess this is what they refer to as “democracy” and “freedom of speech” in Germany today. The Thought Police determine who can speak and who cannot speak. Baruch Hashem at least here we still have the First Amendment. Because otherwise today it’s David Duke and tomorrow it’s a lawsuit against yeshivas for keeping boys and girls separate or not giving aliyas to women, or other types of “discrimination.” Just watch out folks. Be careful what you wish for. It’s enough that people hold that Yidden control world governments, It’s going to backfire on us big time.
Oh please! What a whiner! I’m glad Germany did the right thing (for once, right? lol), and kicked his butt back onto the plane & out of the country! I can’t stand that guy!
To #2 - Germany did the right thing, whether you agree with it or not. Unfortunately, Nazi ideology was not completely wiped out on May 8, 1945. After Germany surrendered, they staged guerilla attacks against Allied troops, for years. Sixty six years later, there are still Nazi elements in Germany who don’t like Jews, Turks, Gypsies, Blacks, or other non-Aryans. Germany and other EU countries have the right to keep undesirable elements out of their country, in the same manner that the USA can deny a visa to someone who can cause problems. Every country has the right to decide whom it can admit, and whom it can keep out. David Duke is a trouble maker, and a Holocaust revisionist. Your agreeing with his right to speak reminds me of the Jewish lawyers at the ACLU, who fought for the rights of the Nazis to march in Spokie, Illinois, in 1977.
I’ve personally had many arguments on his YouTube page till I realized to what extent he hates Jews that he fabricates such lies which would have made Hitler look innocent in comparison so #2 just think what you write before you do because the day this person dies will be a victorious one for all Yidden and the whole of society. This is not a matter of freedom of speech, it’s a matter of hate crimes which can not be tolerated in any country in the world. Well done Germany.
To #9 -PMO in Florida- In a recent posting, you stated that you were harassed and cursed at by anti-semites in Florida, who didn’t even know you. Yet, there seems to be a dichotomy with your approval of Duke having his freedom of speech, to spew forth his inflammatory rhetoric, which in the past in Germany, led to the persecution of Jews and other minorities. You viewpoint just doesn’t make sense, and is completely illogical!
