I suppose it was bound to happen eventually; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said BDS, the Palestinian led nonviolent global movement for justice in Palestine, resembled Nazi Germany. He said it during a meeting with Poland’s Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna today, in speaking of the “defamation” of the Jewish people in Poland when Nazis controlled the country.
Last week Netanyahu told a Las Vegas conference on BDS that American supporters were the “front line” in a fight against BDS; and in a speech last year at an Israel lobby group, Netanyahu mentioned BDS 18 times in denouncing it. Last week, Netanyahu’s former minister of finance Yair Lapid said that the same people responsible for the 9/11 attacks were behind the BDS movement.“The attacks on the Jews were always preceded by the slander of the Jews. What was done to the Jewish people then is being done to the Jewish state now,” Netanyahu said.
“In those days we could do nothing. Today we can speak our mind, hold our ground. We’re going to do both.”
The good news is we can,t get any worse.Is there anyone or thing worse than Nazi Germany.
Btw, is the Polish FM laughing at that statement by nietanyahu.
It would be funny except too many American leaders buy it–why not, that’s how to super speed your political career in USA? Also give kudos to America’s hasbara stenographers, formerly known as journalists.
Oh my dear Lords, I just saw the latest offering from the Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
If I was more media savvy I would include a link so picture this: a 50 second animated cartoon depicting “real life in Gaza” and done in the style of South Park. A blonde newsman is talking about life in Gaza while in the background Hamas dudes transport missiles into tunnels behind his back. At the end a guy standing underneath a rainbow flag (!) has a bag put over his head and is kidnapped. The blonde man is clueless about all this until a young woman gives him some glasses that allow him to see “the truth”…whereupon he faints dead away.
You really have to be some kind of psychopathic personality to put out something like this and ask for people to take it seriously, and to do it the day after you’ve exonerated your military for the brutal killing of children. That’s vile.
If you have the stomach for it Rania Khalek has a link on her Twitter account
It would be easy to say that Bibi’s insane, but that would absolve him of his evil intentions. The hatred he spews, the (war) crimes he commits and/or condones, the supremacism he advocates and defends – they’re all done intentionally and with malice aforethought. He is a world-class piece of hateful and immoral scum.
Bibi’s a bit like a combination of Bernie Madoff and Richard Nixon. He sells Jews a war zone by calling it a safe haven, and he keeps the war profits rolling with his secret peace plan.
