It’s like they are going on a safari.

Just utterly disgusting.

Neither analogy is perfect, but one is “overkill” and closes minds. The regimes in Argentina and Cile could have provided ample material for such a spoof “mission”, and might actually have made someone think about the grotesqueness of such a trip and the culture behind it.

Had I not misunderstood a very misty photo of the Dome of the Rock, advertising a very low-key Ultimate Mission to Israel, in Haaretz, I would have clicked on it and gone straight to Shurat Hadin’s website currently advertising the junket, as I did today. You can see the ad here: link to haaretz.com
In fact there are two of them on this page, the small one I refer to and a larger, more explicit, animated version.
Apologies for suggesting that you got the dates wrong, but not for suggesting that you feature up-to-date links.

A spoof involving regimes in Argentina or Chile would probably not be as effective nor as applicable since there is no evidence that the majority of Argentinians or Chileans backed their governments in such numbers as did the Germans in Nazi Germany and for a far longer period the majority of Jews in Israel.

Moreover, those persecuted in Argentina and Chile were their own fellow citizens, not the “subhuman other” who have been the Nazis’ and Israel’s victims.

Shmuel, it’s not your imagination. It’s called co-opting, while others are taking the Obama-is-a-Kushi tactic to harden rich retired Colorado Jews so they’ll send more money.

Julian,

(1) This is a European tradition to accord a person his status, like we do with Presidents past, and ex-VPs, and ex-Governors.
(2) Lawyers are referred to in Europe as Dr., just BTW.
(3) Once a Professor, always a Professor.

“Jewish settlers in Hebron singing ‘We Shall Overcome’”
Already happened.

Yeah, but it loses something in the translation.
