Sounds familiar.

Where have I seen these people before?

Haaretz:

“Tommy Gould and Gerry Flamberg were war heroes. Gould had gripped an enemy bomb tightly to his chest for a full 40 minutes as he helped remove it from his torpedoed submarine (later receiving the Victoria Cross for his actions). Flamberg, meanwhile, had parachuted into Arnhem, took a bullet to the shoulder, concealed the injury from his commanding officer and then proceeded to single-handedly take out a German tank with a strategically aimed grenade.

These British Jews must have thought their days of fighting fascism were over when Hitler was defeated in May 1945. They were wrong.

The two were founding members of a little-known organization of predominantly Jewish vigilantes (men and women) whose remarkable story is recounted in a new book called “We Fight Fascists: The 43 Group and Their Forgotten Battle for Post-war Britain,” by Daniel Sonabend.

The group operated from 1946-1950 – a time when fascism was fought not with a keyboard and a Twitter account but with knuckle-dusters, blades, broken bones and blood. It was an age when “no-platforming” meant physically pushing past a group of people (including police officers) and forcing fascists from the stage during rallies, sometimes earning a beating and a night in jail as a reward for those efforts. …

Most of the fascists, including Mosley, had been interned during World War II. But when they were released at the war’s end – and with the new Labour government determined to allow free speech for all, no matter how virulent the message, it wasn’t long before the likes of the British People’s Party, the British League of Ex-Servicemen and the Union Movement were back on the streets of London. Naturally, they were all using their still-depressingly familiar codified language – “international financiers,” “American bankers,” “aliens and communists” – to point to what they saw as the root cause of the problem in austerity-stricken Britain.”
