Israeli Nazi Filth Strike Again September 18, 2007

Let’s just go down the list.

Swastikas were found on buildings in Holon over the weekend:

Around 1pm Sunday, the residents of an apartment building in Holon’s Bialik Street discovered swastika graffiti on the side of their building. The word “Hitler” was sprayed alongside it. A short while after, several other swastikas were discovered spray-painted on a building on Weizmann Square in central Holon. The Ayalon district police launched an investigation into the matter, but no arrests have been made so far.

Swastikas were also discovered in Dimona on Friday, sprayed on the walls of the Beit Ephraim synagogue. Dimona Mayor Meir Cohen offered a NIS 2,000 (about $488) reward for information leading to the perpetrators.

Swastikas and “666″ appeared on a car in Haifa yesterday.

The holy city of Tzfat was shocked by swastikas which turned up on a building there. YNet also tells us today of a pro-Nazi video made by a cadet in a military high school:

A star pupil at a military boarding school in Israel shocked peers and educators when he published videos on the web of himself performing and teaching Nazi salutes in an IDF uniform.

The cadet was an outstanding senior at the Beit Biram High School, a branch of the renowned Reali High School in Haifa whose alumni include an impressive number of former generals, defense ministers and IDF chiefs of staff.

In the first video, the cadet is filmed by himself, in full military uniform, goose-stepping to the Nazi anthem. In a second video, he is joined by a friend, also in uniform. A third video shows him teaching his eight-year-old sister to perform a Nazi salute, in response to the girl’s request to watch a children’s film.

Under the third video, the student wrote the caption: ‘In this clip, I’m teaching my sister important life lessons.’

Israel needs an Anti-Racist Action chapter. Where is Israel’s Anti-Fascist Action? Or Antifascist Rock Action . Something. Apparently the police are just not quick enough to catch these people (although Israel’s security forces do have their hands full as it is). In absence of public outcry, it is often up to the kids to regulate the streets themselves to rid them of filth like this.

Would treating Nazis like this be the worst thing in the world? I would never, G-d forbid, advocate violence against Jews, but this is self-preservation. Nazi organizations simply can not be allowed to operate in Israel to this extent.

“When the kids are united, they will never be divided.” The people of Haifa, Holon, Petach Tikva and every other Nazi-infected city need to take back their streets, their cities, their country.

And may the work of every antifascist in Israel, and of everyone anti-racist worldwide who works to decrease the filth of racism in their societies, be blessed and established by G-d (Psalm 90).
