Fugitive Klansman caught in Tel Aviv

[Alessan]

Story here (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1246443798661&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull):

A high-ranking white supremacist on the run from US federal authorities was arrested on Monday night in a south Tel Aviv hideout.

33-year-old Micky Louis Mayon, one of America's 100 Most Wanted criminals, and a member of the Ku Klux Klan, was arrested in a Florentine apartment by the National Immigration Authority's newly formed Oz enforcement unit.

Mayon is wanted in the US on charges of racist assaults, setting fire to vehicles belonging to federal agents, and a host of violence incidents.

To which I say... the hell? This is the best place he could find to hide out?

So what, now I have to start worrying about the Klan, too?

[The Second Stone]

Who the hell would look for a Klansman in Tel Aviv?

[Jackmannii]

Better be on the lookout for Whitey Bulger (http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=23567) too.

[Qadgop the Mercotan]

My old man's a klansman.
What do you think about that?
He wears a klansman's hood,
He wears a klansman's hat.
He wears a klansman's raincoat,
He even wears klansman's shoes,
And every Saturday evening,
He burns a couple of jews.

Klansman from Tel Aviv would be an awesome band name.

I guess he thought "hiding amongst the enemy" would be a good plan. Guess not.

Yeah, I think the OP's surprise says something about the wisdom of this plan. :)

And once more, a proud Aryan falls victim to the lure of Hebrew nookie: (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1246443808311&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull)

About four months ago, Mayon entered into a romantic relationship with a Jewish Israeli woman, who became pregnant one month ago.

Mayon did not tell his partner that he was a wanted KKK member back in the US.

However, after learning that his girlfriend was pregnant, Mayon decided it was time to reveal his dark past to her. She reportedly reacted with shock, and went on to tip off the authorities to Mayon's location.

Two things everyone should know about Israeli women:

1. Yes, they ARE that hot.

2. Do not fuck with them. Seriously: don't.

[Attack from the 3rd dimension]

I find myself wondering which aspect of the situation struck the girlfriend as more shocking and horrible:

1. "Honey, I'm wanted by the FBI".

or

2. "Honey, I'm in the KKK".

If there's been a more appropriate time to ask for a citation, I don't know of it. Multiple cites please, in the interest of thoroughness of course.

[EvilTOJ]

+1 to that. I'm sorry I don't believe your lies that Israeli women are that hot.

[Abby_Emma_Sasha]

Why did the klansman go to Israel?
He heard there was a white sale.


Yeah, I just made it up. Sorry.

Ah, I've been looking for a name for my new Bluegrass-Klezmer fusion band.

There was an article a while back about an influx of young Eastern European neo-nazi types taking advantage of Israel's Law of Return by claiming to be Jewish to get out of their own economically depressed countries.

[FoieGrasIsEvil]

+1 to that. I'm sorry I don't believe your lies that Israeli women are that hot.

Claims are useless without pics. Preferably revealing pics.

[Sunspace]

Claims are useless without pics. Preferably revealing pics.The last time someone did that, their AK47s (or whatever the guns were) were revealed for all to see.

Two cites:

While poking around a bookstore in Jerusalem, I was amused to find that there are "good luck in the army!" and "congratulations on getting out of the army!" greeting cards in Israel.

Some of the former come with condoms.

As would be The Jew Klux Klan.

Well hey, what red-blooded male HASN'T lain awake thinking of a night of passion with Golda Meir...?

[Malthus]

Great name for a Klezmer band. :D

[Alessan]

I'd rather think they spend more time thinking of the likes of her (http://dailycontributor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bar-refaeli-sports-illustrated.jpg).

On a serious note, are the Ku Klux Klan really anti-Jew? I confess being from outside N America I know little about them, but from what I have read, they are much more anti-black.

[Raygun99]

They're anti-non-white-Protestant.

There have been several groups under the name "Ku Klux Klan". The original KKK was founded right after the Civil War; it was an exclusively Southern organization dedicated to upholding white supremacy and preventing the newly freed slaves from actually being able to exercise the political rights that were theoretically being extended to them under Reconstruction after the war. The first KKK was suppressed by the federal government, although unfortunately its goals were largely met, as Reconstruction was betrayed and blacks were stripped of their political and many civil rights for another century or so. I doubt the original Klan was notably more anti-Semitic than any other group of 19th Century white Protestant males.

The second KKK was founded in 1915; it was nativist (anti-immigrant) as well as anti-black, and therefore was anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic from the start. The second KKK rapidly spread beyond the South and was strong throughout the country--it achieved considerable political power in Indiana, for example. Existing KKK organizations trace back to this second Klan rather than directly to the original Klan of Reconstruction; over the years the KKK has experienced many ups and downs and has splintered into numerous rival organizations. In some times and places--say, 1950s small-town Mississippi--individual Klansmen would have probably been more concerned about "uppity" blacks than about Jews (very few of which would have been around in 1950s small-town Mississippi), but I believe all of the descedants of the second KKK have been avowedly in favor of white Protestant supremacy over blacks, Jews, or Catholics. Certainly almost any surviving KKK group in the 21st Century is unlikely to look with favor on one of its members moving to Tel Aviv and shacking up with a nice Jewish girl.

Actually, it was for self-preservation reasons. She thought he might sue for custody of the child, and then the KKK would take her baby away.

[Alessan]

Interestingly, according to the Hebrew-language papers (can't find an English cite), Mayon has stated that he intends to fight his extradition on the basis of the fact that he has a family in Israel.

The girl has stated in response that she intends to terminate the pregnancy.

As far as Israelis are concerned... let's put it this way: the Israeli press regularly refers to all white-supremacy groups (KKK, Aryan Nation, Chirstian Identity, skinheads etc.) as "Neo-Nazis." We honestly can't be bothered to tell them apart.

If the woman is oridinarily pro-choice, I guess I don't have an issue with this. But if not, interesting is the least of the words I'd use.

[Alessan]

I've never met an Israeli who wasn't "pro-choice". It's barely an issue here.

[Tamerlane]

I've never met at Israeli who wasn't "pro-choice".

That's interesting. No fervent anti-abortion lobby amongst the Orthodox at least?

[Alessan]

The Halacha is quite clear on the issue: life begins at birth.

Beside, Orthodox society can be rather traditional. Any hesitations they may have about abortion are outweighed by the need to avoid the shame of bearing a child out of wedlock.

He was misinformed.

This horrific thought was such a trauma that now she wants to be sedated............

[FriarTed]

Trouble is, he now has it reinforced to him- you can't trust the Jews.

I do appreciate the multiple cites about Hot Israeli Women, but there are too many uniforms.

[Alessan]

Here are a few pics of Israeli girls out of uniform, so to speak:

Shas did try to push an abortion bill last year, though, and the Chief Rabbinate did condemn abortions. Apparently all these women getting abortions is "delaying the coming of messiah." The Haredim do tend to be anti-abortion in theory, even if not always in practice.

You know what worries me? That a guy this stupid was somehow able to make it onto America's most wanted list. That doesn't seem to me to say good things about the competence of the American authorities that were trying to nab him.

Maybe it's more of a comment on the poor quality of American criminals that there was no one better bumping him off the list?

[Covered_In_Bees!]

I somehow missed all the citations for the claim that Israeli women are that hot. I now completely agree. Now if you'll excuse, I'm going to be unavailable for a while. I have some catching up to do on these citations. In the continued interest of thoroughness still. ;)
