Personally knowing some young Israeli’s.
A lot of them don’t take the holocaust very seriously and tend to joke about it a lot, (maybe it’s a coping mechanism)? In any case, this is probably a case of an edgy high schooler trying to make their friends laugh.
it's not. it's just a nazi do'in nazi shit.
It’s not that deep. Lots of teenagers do edgy stuff just because it’s edgy and not allowed.
He’ll look back in 10 years cringing about himself.
zionists do not regret being nazis. they just do more nazi shit.
The world is not that black and white my dude, go outside sometimes
sure, yeah, im sure there's an oskar schindler or something among them, but nazis are, generally speaking nazis.
Touch grass, man. When people call zionists nazis, they mean they are genocidal ethno(-religious) fascists. They don't literally mean they speak german, sport swastikas, heil hitler, and hate jews. Zionists despise literal nazis. I can't believe this actually has to be explained.
they don't tend to speak german at a higher rate than the general population, that part is true. many prefer a burning cross or killing star to a swastika, that's true. the ones that aren't also old fashioned nazis, which are increasingly common.
the rest of what you're saying is bullshit. the current head zio is a literal hitler apologist. look outside before asking me to touch grass, please.
Hm, Netenyahu saying palestinians made the nazis into the nazis we know today doesn't seem like nazi apologism, it sounds like more anti-palestinian propaganda to me.
oh, so it's okay when he does "hitler wasn't such a bad guy, really, just a little misguided".
Thank goodness we can arrest them for it. Imagine the objective harm & deprivation of rights or peaceful access to opportunities or resources that teenage edginess causes to society. Right?
It makes sense, essentially by remaining oblivious and reductive about one act you can then allow yourself to also be blind to your own current amoral actions. Essentially it's easier to stay dense than it is to actually face the reality you are a part of.
no. No I think they know what side of that conflict they would have been on. because it's the side their ancestors were on-literally, look at what the zionists were doing during the run-up to world war two. it's so bad. then look at how they treated holocaust survivors after. also not great.
I think most teenagers are not nearly so self-aware. Most people see things as in-group/out-group, simple as that. Doing a nazi salute was probably meant as am (ignorant) way to defy authority; teen most likely was not thinking about palestine at all.
it's not defying authority, and you're thinking of american teens. zios absolutely do. they sing songs about killing them in school as young children. this is not a defiance of authority, it's perfectly acceptable in that culture. expected, even.
No -- nazi salutes are not acceptable in Israeli culture. Nazi salutes are the ultimate anti-semitic gesture. Why would those be "expected"?
you just said why. also, I'm pretty sure saying "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free" is the ultimate antisemitic gesture.
that's an antizionist gesture. Some fascists like to pretend antisemitism = antizionism.
yes, if you want to fuck around with nonsense like 'truth' but legally it's antisemitism.
