While most American-born activists who become involved in defending Palestinian rights avoid becoming overt anti-Semites even while steadfastly criticizing Israel, Kenneth O'Keefe is not one of them.

Abstract: 
-

Excerpt:

O'Keefe, a former Marine-turned-antiwar and anti-environmental activist who specializes in what he calls "direct action," has morphed in recent years into a raving, David Duke-endorsing anti-Semite, particularly in the speeches he gives to well-known white-supremacist groups.

The most noteworthy of these was O’Keefe's speech to the IONA London Forum, a gathering of academically oriented white supremacists and anti-Semites held last August. The speech was noteworthy for its crude ugliness: the 50-plus-minute-talk by O'Keefe revolved around the repeated phrase "fucking Jews."
