British anti-Semite sentenced to 3 years for online incitement

A 23-year-old British man was sentenced to over three years in prison for posting anti-Semitic material online ahead of an anti-Jewish neo-Nazi rally in July slated to take place in a predominately Jewish London neighborhood, which he helped plan.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, from the southerwestern county of Somerset, had previously received a two-year supervision order and 180 hours of community service “for claiming a Leicester pub was refusing to serve members of the armed forces to avoid offending members of the Muslim community,” The Guardian reported.

Even with the punishment, he continued to charge online that political figures were pedophiles and drug dealers — eventually earning a suspended three-month sentence.

At his sentencing for his latest campaign, the judge told Bonehill-Paine his past effort “displays your ability and desire to use the web as a means to cause anguish and anxiety to others.”

“As this case demonstrates, there is no place for people inciting racial hatred under the guise of protest, and those that do this will be investigated and brought before the courts to answer for this crime,” lead police investigator Andy Barnes was quoted as saying in The Guardian.

A member of a group calling itself the “National British Resistance,” Bonehill-Paine has in the past advocated eugenics against the handicapped and shared a video warning that white Britons were threatened with extinction, The Daily Mail reported.

A flyer disseminated by him ahead of the July rally — which was moved from Golders Green to central London — showed images of the Auschwitz death camp and Nazi Germany. In a Holocaust reference, he also suggested the “anti-Jewification” rally would be a “gas.”
