Dieudonne M’bala M’bala: French anti-Semites’ favorite comedian


PARIS, France — Seated on a darkened stage, comedian Dieudonne M’bala M’bala turns his attention to a Jewish journalist who criticized his shows. “When I hear talk of Patrick Cohen, I say to myself, you know, the gas chambers…” There’s a moment’s pause. M’bala M’bala looks blank, raises an eyebrow. His audience titters, waiting for the punchline. “A pity,” he concludes as laugher echoes around the theater.

......

Just before New Year, Dieudonne shot to international notoriety when French soccer star Nicolas Anelka celebrated a goal in England‘s Premier League by making a Dieudonne-inspired arm gesture widely perceived as evoking the Nazi stiff-arm salute.

......

The gesture involves one arm held out at an angle while the other reaches across the body to touch the opposite shoulder. Known as the “quenelle” — the French word for a type of elongated dumpling — it’s a M’bala M’bala trademark.

Followers have become fond of posting pictures of themselves performing it at sensitive Jewish sites including the Auschwitz death camp, Anne Frank’s house and the school in the southern French city of Toulouse where an Islamist extremist killed three children and a rabbi in 2012.

The large following this man enjoys in France is utterly disgusting, especially given the tragic fate of the French Jews under Petain and Hitler.
