“I think there research of anti-Semitism, because at this point in time. Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we will part of the throne of that transformation, which must take place. Europe will not be the monolithic society that they once were of the last century. Jews are going to be the centre of that. It’s a Huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without the leading role and without the transformation, Europe will not survive. “

The Xenophobic Right’s Weird Reaction to Hollywood Blockbuster ‘Machete’, Alexander Zaitchikat AlterNet, cross-posted by the SPLC and HuffPo:

More gore-ality than morality tale, the film essentially does for the border what Rodriguez’s friend Quentin Tarantino did for the Third Reich in “Inglourious Basterds.” Which is to say, he turns it into a vehicle for guts-splattered slapstick stirred with a mix of fact and fancy, heavy on the fancy.

Zaitchikat surveys several unfavorable reviews and connects the dots from “conservative”, to “nativist hate”, to “openly White supremacist”.

And let’s not even get into the silence with which the conservative figures quoted above greeted the depiction of Jews in Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ,” a film completely lacking in the hipster tongue-in-cheek self-awareness with which “Machete” drips.

Despite the heated cries of outraged conservatives, Robert Rodriguez has not done anything all that interesting, new or threatening in his latest film. He has merely pulled some old Hollywood conventions inside out for a new era.

Zaitchikat’s heated cry of anti-White outrage: join jews in condemning Gibson’s Passion and laugh off Rodriguez’s Machete.
