‘Heil Hitler’ Salute in IOF Bases

Here is a nice one for our Zionist “friends”:

According to the soldier, he decided to move to Israel from France after suffering years of anti-Semitism in the country. Last August, he enlisted in the IDF and was sent to the ‘Mihveh Alon’ base, where new recruits receive intensive Hebrew courses, in addition to undergoing basic training.

“While on base, I witnessed appalling and scary incidents, carried out by a group of Russian immigrants who behaved like neo-Nazis. They would draw swastikas, do the fascist salute, and yell ‘Heil Hitler’.

“This behavior brought back the fear I had felt as a Jew in France, and reminded me of the anti-Semitism I had left behind – anti-Semitism to which I had not expected to be exposed in Israel, and specifically in the military,” said the soldier. [Source: Yedioth Ahronoth]

Reminds me of our proverb : “if your house is made of glass, don’t throw stones at your neighbors.”

    Amen, Haitham, Amen!

    How many “Americans” say that freedom is our way or the highway, but preach death (the ultimate taking of fredom) for those that don’t agree. How many “Muslims” say follow our interpertation of the Quran or suffer death. How many “Jews” say “never again” but allow ghettos to spring up right next door. How many “Catholics” fight for the right of self determination but kill innocent “Proteseants” instead of turning the other cheek. How many people profess their faiths but are willing to to forget their tenants in the pursuit of earthly power (power over land, people of money).

    Sean,
    It is all about tollerance.
    I accept everyone as to who they are (not what they are).
    Your personal views mean nothing. Your religion mean nothing.
    I accept you as to who you are, nothing else!
    The true Koran and Christian teachings support this view.
    But the radicals don’t support this.
    This includes Bin Laden and Bush.
    Why can’t we work together?
    Why can’t we stop this madness?
