Abstract:
Although the popular appeal of West European far-right groups is based on their anti-immigrant stand, they cling to traditional antisemitism and the belief in the Jewish conspiracy, even when it is likely to cost them support. Two factions of the British National Front recently clashed over the issue of Zionism. The faction which is centered around the "Nationalism Today" magazine supports Louis Farrakhan, Libya, and the Palestinians, and describes Zionists in terms reminiscent of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." Their rivals, in their magazine "Vanguard, " support Israel and ridicule crude conceptions of a Zionist conspiracy. However, "Vanguard" does not reject the existence of a financial conspiracy or of a Jewish role in it - it has spoken of Jewish domination of the City financial center, and has distributed conspiracy theory literature. The theory is apparently so essential a part of extreme-right culture that even the new generation cannot disown it.
