And attacking loyal Iranians - ostensibly non-Zionist, Torah-faithful Jews, punishing them for being faithful, speaks volumes about who the Zionists REALLY ARE.
No. But it might be bigotry. Racism isn't just animus - it's a whole societal system of unequal power relationships.
The use of Leni Riefenstahl imagery is highly suspect. Sometimes racists and Nazis use 'coded' language or imagery. This is sometimes called the "dog whistle". Certain terms or usages have meaning within narrow groups, by which racists and Nazis self-identify, to one another. In Germany it's illegal to use Swastika iconography - so a Reifenstahl clip may serve that purpose - like someone having "88" or "1488" in a username or a bio.
The members have not been shy about courting controversy and have periodically attracted condemnation from morality campaigners. Till and Flake's stage act earned them a night in jail in June 1999 after a liquid-ejecting d**do was used in a concert in Worcester, Massachusetts. Back home in Germany, the band faced repeated accusations of fascist sympathies because of the dark and sometimes militaristic imagery of their videos and concerts, including the use of excerpts from the film Olympia by Leni Riefenstahl in the video for their cover of Depeche Mode's song "Stripped". MTV Germany studied the lyrics, talked to the band and came away satisfied that Rammstein are apolitical; Peter Ruppert, then head of Music Programming at MTV Germany, stated that the band "aren't in any way connected with any right-wing activities".[107]
Their cover of their debut album Herzeleid, released in Germany in 1995, showed the band members bare-chested in a style that resembled Strength Through Joy in the eyes of some critics, who accused the band of trying to sell themselves as "poster boys for the Master Race".[108] Rammstein have vehemently denied this and said they want nothing to do with politics or supremacy of any kind. Lorenz, annoyed by the claim, has remarked it is just a photo, and should be understood as such. Herzeleid has since been given a different cover in North America, depicting the band members' faces.
ANTIFA groups in Germany can be extra-touchy - because of the reality of some fascist sympathies in their society.
Be aware that NATO & the CIA have backed & used real-life Nazis in Ukraine & as part of OPERATION GLADIO. In Syria alleged antifascists have fought alongside Al Qaeda & ISIS, during the CIA & MOSSAD's dirty "Regime Change" war, there. So it's always possible that people claiming to be "ANTIFA" are actually FEDs.
How do you REALLY KNOW, who anyone is, these days ... It turned out that the leadership of the "Proud Boys" and the 3%ers, were Federal "Informants".
But unlike those groups, organized around their latent or open homosexuality, and their affinity for authoritarian personality types - "ANTIFA" isn't a single group, so much as it is - an IDEA. There are no Grand Lodges of "ANTIFA", handing out charters and membership badges. Antifascists come from a variety of different political ideologies and backgrounds. What they share is an opposition to what they (rightly) see as the rise of fascism here in America.
Currently that takes the form of "inverted totalitarianism" - but as we have since 2019, that's rapidly veering towards Technocratic Totalitarianism - which, sadly, many groups calling themselves "ANTIFA" have shown a willingness to support, to the point of direct, often violent, complicity. This probably stems from their failures to grasp the nature and trajectory of the Technocratic Totalitarian takeover - but also, likely from an oppositional reaction against the positions frequently taken by their perceived adversaries, in the larger American cultural warfare battle space. People on the right were perceived (during Biden's unlawful mandates) to have resisted the lockdowns, the forced masking and the nonconsensual human medical experimentation, using Gene Therapy injections - none of which had any valid scientific/public health basis, as they were all demonstrating manifestly negative health and welfare outcomes (except for the imposition of Technocratic Totalitarianism). In reality, these concerns were also shared by on the actual political left, unbeknownst to those claiming to be "ANTIFA".
