‘One nation, one state, one leader’ — frightening slogan at Tel Aviv protest

Ofer Neiman sent this along, from Facebook.

From that facebook page:

Ultra-Zionists counter-protesting today against Rabin Square antiwar demo, sign reads: “one nation, one state, one leader”. Yes, the Reich is back in white and blue.

Neiman passes on this comment from a friend:

“sadly It’s not a hoax. some people we know talk to the people holding this sign. they were serious and didn’t know the slogan history.”

Who needs to know the history, we’ve all absorbed it history unconsciously. Which is not to say that the Holocaust is being reenacted by Israel, but that certain Nazi ideas about power have been absorbed.  It’s what has been imprinted. The recovery movement informs us that a victim of abuse will reenact the role of the abuser when he has the hammer. I was with a Jewish friend once at night at the monstrous hulking gray steel and concrete apparatus of Qalandiya checkpoint, dark against a dark sky, and he said, This is as bad as Auschwitz. He was not saying, this is as bad as an extermination camp, he was observing the essential feeling of the apartheid system that has been established.

The years of indoctrination and education about never again has taught the world what fascism looks like. But the teachers are so busy teaching they didn’t see the transformation in them

I wonder if עם can mean “people” in the sense of “Volk”.

Quite a Führer that Netanyahu is. Or do they have somebody else in mind.

Will one of our German-speaking visitors repeat the Nazi slogan, which is, if I’m not mistaken, identical? I think I know it, but I’m afraid I’ll mispell it.

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer
