Tear Up His Spurs Contract Today Without Notice

Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it.

~ Christopher Hitchens God Is Not Great

Up until a day or so ago, most of us though that a quenelle was a posh way of placing food on a plate using a pair of spoons.

But by now, most of you will be aware of the Nicholas Anelka incident, whereby he scored a goal against West Ham made a quite feint gesture that almost looked like he was adjusting the sleeve of his shirt. When I first saw a photographic still of the moment, I missed what the fuss was about entirely.

However, what he was up to wasn’t on a par with Roy Hodgson’s chimpanzee in space anecdote. Anelka’s gesture was genuinely sinister. Why? In short, because in Anelka’s mind, his made up friend is somehow superior to somebody else’s made up friend.

The quenelle was perhaps described in the kindest terms by the French sports minister Valérie Fourneyron, as “an incitement to racial hatred.”

The President of the French League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism, Alain Jakubowicz, says that the gesture signifies “the sodomisation of victims of the Holocaust.”

This salute is understood to be the invention of Dieudonné M’bala M’bala. Who? You, like most normal people, clearly have limited awareness of Dieudonné’s 2009 “anti-Zionist” campaign in the European elections. Since 2009, he’s been using this mash up of a Nazi salute, with the obscene French insulting hand signal, the bras d’honneur, which is said to approximately mean “up yours.”

If I was asked to create a signature gesture for a political party, I’d probably try really hard to distance myself from anything that remotely made people think about the holocaust, stuff like that. Because I’m not dog muck in human form and don’t hold those type of views.

But if I was a fan  boy of the 3rd Reich and all it’s goodly deeds, I guess I’d try and incorporate as best I could, whilst still just about keeping under the radar of those who would arrest and imprison me if I just adopted a plain old Nazi salute.

But isn’t the quenelle just a bit of an anti establishment jape? The clue here is anti-establishment. Most of you will be familiar with the suggestion by Anti-Semites that “the Jews pull all the strings.” Read on…

Is Dieudonné M’bala M’bala actually an Anti-Semite? Beyond this “gesture” is there any substance to all the fuss?

Yep.

There’s a Jewish radio journalist working for the station France Inter, called Patrick Cohen. He’s not a fan of Dieudonné’s work. So Dieudonné is on record as saying:

When the wind turns, I don’t think he’ll have time to pack a suitcase. When I hear Patrick Cohen talking, you see, I think of gas ovens.”

So that’s Dieudonné, and his mate Anelka who plays for West Brom. What has this got to do with Spurs? Well. Benoit Assou-Ekotto Tweeted.

Translated it says” I congratulate you my beautiful shoulder keunel (sic).

I sincerely hope THFC sever all relationships with this casual Anti-Semite without notice.

An incidental irony is that many of us have been to Arras, Benny’s birthplace. So it’s not as if the cretin can LOL his way out of this one. He knows what a Nazi is.
