The "American Friends of the British National Party"
<http://www.americabnp.net/> referenced in the Voice article above is
good for a laugh owing to the absurd philosophical foundation upon which
they base their existence - the video "interview" on the site with
founder Mark Cotterill explains it all, and the David Duke video excerpt
is rife with inanities - but it's interesting that another short video,
on the Palestinian situation, might well pass muster on a Lefty website
with few if any modifications. Clearly it's a slick appeal to average US
workers vis-a-vis their tax dollars washing over to Israel, but it
explicitly cites US welfare cuts, African famine aid, and even  the NEA
budget in relation to annual aid to Israel and mentions many of the hot
buttons in relation to Palestinian self-determination. Naturally the
primary underlying motivation for this calculated presentation is left
well out, but it's interesting to contemplate the strange left-right
confluence it (ostensibly) represents - at least on the surface,
motivation aside. And actually, I'm now wondering just where they might
have sourced this. Does it look familiar to anyone?
