If you look here, there seems to be a somewhat different view of the incident in question from an apparently reputable source.

I grant you, infiltration and agitation are chancy businesses, which I am sure is why this incident strikes me as surprising-- I would find it difficult to believe that tactics like this are particularly mainstream from Jewish anti-hate groups, although I could certainly believe it from some more fringe elements.

I would still firmly submit that it is probably unfair to characterize even this incident as Jews building up or bankrolling Nazis in order to unfairly distort the threat of anti-Semitism.
