He himself being a Jew, it seems quite curious to me that he would call for all Jews to be thrown in a concentration camp. After 9/11, he made even worse remarks. He figures it is innate quality of their character as Jews. But Fischer never considered himself a Jew. I can see his remorse for the problems he had to endure but his rhetoric is quite sadening. He should have read that book AmerIsrael to understand that it certainly is not all Jews or even the majority, but what is clear is that neoconservative Jews with strong conenctions to the Likud were behind 9/11.

Ironically, he also isn't the first Jewish Nazi.

This guy is either part of some convoluted psyop or just pushed to a point of lashing out publicly. Considering how he went to jail for playing chess, the latter doesn't sound unlikely

I don't think he is, I think he is just really pissed off that they kidnapped him and those behind it happened to be Jews. For that reason he blames all Jews. Plus, he had a hard childhood and probably resented his father, but nevertheless, I've heard he was a very nice person to talk to if you didn't mention Jews.

The head of the Nazi party in the US was Jewish and they would march through Jewish neighborhoods so as to scare them to emigrate to Israel.

I don't know if George Rockwell was Jewish but one of the co founders who was involved in the march, Frank Collin was. For an organization that claims to hate Jews so vocally, it is odd at the very least that the American Nazi party had a lot of Jewish participants.

I don't think he is

Me neither. Just wanted to poke fun at the American Nazi party and draw a contrast between the Jewish Nazis and this situation. There is a precedent for this kind of thing but you're right, he comes across as very sincere and angry though not unhinged as many have suggested. This particular speech is more reasonable than angry to be fair.

Heh, You don't need 10000 IQ to understand the problem with this...

Bobby Fischer wasn't insane and he was right about a lot of things.

However, I can't support his ideas around jews. I can't defend someone advocating for a genocide against jewish civilians. I don't find it very moral to kill someone because he was born over an imaginary line or because they couldn't choose their mother.

I'm hoping for some kind of a Seven Days in May-scenario (a 1964 movie by John Frankenheimer - RV) where the country will be taken over by the military, they'll close down all the synagogues, arrest all the Jews, execute hundreds of thousands of Jewish ringleaders and you know, apologize to the Arabs, kill off all the Jews over there in the bandit state, you know, of Israel. - Bobby Fischer

There is clearly a difference between criticizing a government and advocating for the killings of civilians.

Other than this, I agree with him on his thoughts about the US government and the very immoral sanctions against Yugoslavia that put him in trouble, because he wanted to play a chess GAME LOL. Going to jail in ANOTHER country, because he played a chess GAME. If this isn't tyranny I don't know what is.

They also stole a lot of his stuff, books etc.

Personally, I believe in equal rights for everyone, even for people who have wrong/hateful thoughts.

Any non jews asking for jews to be put in camps? Next thing we'll find out Hitler was from the tribe too.
