1.  Mr Comedian Dieudonnes
Tim ,   Brighton   (02.04.14)
So Mr Comedian Dieudonnes and his Pea Brain Lieutenant Anelka still think the whole Quenelle Episode is one big ‘laugh’ and ‘distraction’ Have we got news for you Its not to me, not to thousands of WBA Fans, not to milllions of Football Fans, not to billions of people all over the world who understand the appaling monstrous crime of the Holocaust and heed it as a sombre Warning for Civilised Society to never be allowed to happen again So did the world then..from the millions of Russian British American Canadian Indian Australian New Zealand.....Soldiers to the French Polish, Norwegian, Danish, Belgian, Greek, Italian Resistance to German Underground sacrifice so much so that those two brainless and loathsome duo could flout their obscene and obnoxious messages of hate and contempt in the name of Freedom of Speech? Just like any sane person I would condemn without reservation Racism from whichever quarter to ANY Racial Group I condemn without reservation Quenelle and all its Apologists and everything it stands for

this idiot has democratised the antisemitism in France. last week, muslim people and petain's sons shouted antisemitic slogans agains jews. this climate is very unsane for our communauty.....and we fear more and more violence.
3. THANK YOU BRITAIN ,WELL DONE
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (02.04.14)
I thank and admire the British who have taken a stand and have done " the decent thing old chap ." Britain already has enough trouble makers within its borders and does not need to import more. Thank you Britain .
4. This decision is entirely predictable.
Anthony Fallon ,   Manchester UK   (02.04.14)
...despite a campaign from the London based Jewish Chronicle, the Conservative coalition governmentcould not ban Vona the far right Jobbik Hungarian 'thug in a bespoke suit' because he is an elected polititian & a ban would be contrary to EU protocol & his political right to seek electoral support from British based hungarians prior to an election.However, Theresa May did ban Pamela Spencer & Robert Spencer (Stop the Islamicisation of America organisation) from entering the UK to address an EDL gathering earlier in 2013, so from my viewpoint, this ban on Dieudonne M'bala M'bala seems to be both consistent and equitable.

7. Bans achieve nothing positive, create more hate ,...
split ,   US   (02.04.14)
Even the commies knew to leave some safety valves like cabarets to vent the emptions they created. This dude is getting more promotion for free and gets more popular he ever dreamed off ,... The Brits and French are going to get rid of Jews without lifting a finger ,...
8. What happen to Free Speech.
BDS ,   USA   (02.04.14)
9. What they should have also done
Tracy W   (02.04.14)
is to implement a national educational campaign to inform people that non-whites, Slavs and others were slated by the Nazis for extermination or slavery. It is extremely absurd for people belonging to ethnic groups the Nazis called "sub-humans" to support the Nazi ideology. Perhaps they don't know history, or perhaps they do but they don't care as long as they can offend the Jews this way.
10. #8 - Clever politics, BDS ;) ,...
split ,   US   (02.04.14)
11. Dieudonne' and Nicolas Anelka are both finished.
Charlie ,   Alexandria   (02.04.14)
Dieudonne' hunted by police. Going after his money,etc,etc.. Banned from UK. -- Nicolas Anelka's team is losing matches. I suppose they are cursed now. I predict he will get a 10 match ban which will spell his career end. He has already hinted about retiring. (Not surprised) -- The pictures of the idiots in France making the Quenelle look very pathetic.
12. #7 Shut up already
Benji ,   US   (02.05.14)
We don't need you here either. As for Jews, not going anywhere. You seem to need us in your pathetic world. Even live in a Jewish neighborhood to be reminded how wonderful we are.
13. #7 Getting a lot of attention
Benji ,   US   (02.05.14)
From the authorities. Dieudonne will be busy for a long time fighting lawsuits, paying fines, refunding canceled ticket sales, court hearings, accounting for the thousands of dollars he was hording. It's a lesson to you split. Hate speech will eventually come back and bite you in the butt.
14. Stupid Politics Splits BDS
Claude ,   London & Cape Town   (02.05.14)
Actualy it was a very stupid stunt of Diuedonne to provoke mainstream British Public Opinion with a quenelle gesture in reference to the Queen. Her Grandson may have got away with harsh words after his adolescent Nazi stunt, but we are less forgiving of a third rate French comic, It's another example of how so much of BDS and Palestinian activism is supported, hijacked by nutters, racists, and the exotically bizarre alliance of Islamofascists and Disalusioned Far Lefties. How this is going to galvanise mass public support from a UK public who are at best contemptuous of these types and even in some cases this encourages a type of Islamophobia which is deeply troubling. Except of course for Split and his cohort. In London today as we struggled with a transport strike, I heard a radio commentator announce that at least we have been spared yet another unwelcome French guest after the Saucy Hollandaise visit last week.
15. Excellent comments TRACEY.
Anthony Fallon ,   Manchester UK   (02.05.14)
In addition, Diedonne's daughter's Godfather is non other than Jean Marie Le Penn. OF COURSE IT IS UNTHINKABLE that collaboration between Black people and far right groups would ever gain momentum in the UK but without stating the obvious, France is a very different country socially & culturally. 1) France has twice as many Jews as the UK & are generally more zionist in outlook because of their Arabic background. 2) French blacks in France have not experienced the same antipathy and overt racism compared to British Blacks post 1945 so they feel more empowered & have less of a victim mentality. 3) A much higher proportion of Blacks in France are Muslims or Muslim converts, many of them immigrants from North African Arab countries or Muslim countries like Mali & Senegal 4) Muslims in France make up 12% of the popn compared to 5% in the UK. 5) More extreme anti semitic Mosques & Imams in France
16. BDS , Free speech is not hate speech
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.05.14)
17. this guy is so unfunny
ky   (02.05.14)
that I laughed until the tears ran down my leg. Truth be told if it wasn't for the British the French would all be doing Nazi salutes for real and would today be Nazi slaves without very much to laugh about but hey! what do these kids know about that. Its so cool to be anti- estab
18. # 13 ,...
split ,   US   (02.05.14)
I want to remind you that just a few months ago EU has dropped this so called “working definition of antisemitism” created by your arrogant homies from its website with only 24 out of 665 EU parliamentarians against it, so it would be advisable to watch your own butt ,...
19. #18 No need to remind
Benji ,   US   (02.05.14)
We know the definition of anti-Semitism. It's not based on your definition. You're just a lost leftover from Poland.

21. to #18 I want to remind you, that just around
ghostq   (02.06.14)
the corner all western countries will change immigrations laws, and muslims won't be able to immigrate to USA or to Europe and spread hatred, The UN means nothing, the western countries got their own union. :)
