This shocking cartoon, “The Eternal Jew,” was produced by a settlers’ group in the West Bank. It says that several Israeli human rights groups are collaborating with Nazis by reporting on Israeli human rights abuses and in doing so, parodies Nazi propaganda about Jews.
The video speaks for itself. It has remarkably high production values, and portrays a hook-nosed, money-loving Jew appearing in the offices of an editor named Sturmer to inform on Israeli human rights abuses, such as IDF actions, the killing of Palestinian children, and the maintenance of checkpoints throughout the West Bank. Sturmer was of course the name of a Nazi propaganda publication, though in the video the paper is called Hasmol, or The Left in Hebrew.
The video ends with the collaborationist Jew hanging from a tree and the lesson: “The Europeans may seem different to you today, but to them you are exactly the same.”
Next to the lynched Jew are the logos of nine Israeli NGOs, including B’Tselem, Yesh Din, Breaking the Silence, the New Israel Fund, Peace Now and Gush Shalom. The Times of Israel says that leftwing groups have called for a government investigation of Samaria Settlers Committee for inciting violence by publishing the video on Saturday and that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu “attacked” the ad yesterday.
Arutz Sheva reports that one rightwing Israeli politician has said approving things about the cartoon:
Naftali Bennett said that while he agrees with the video’s content, he finds its style to be wrong. Europe does, indeed, fund leftist organizations that harm IDF soldiers, he said, “and groups like B’tselem and Yesh Din collect information on IDF soldiers and pass it on to the enemy and the Goldstone report.”
Bennett rejected the anti-Semitic imagery of the video, but its makers have defended the images.
“The video is about the shameful phenomenon in which Israeli leftist groups receive funding from anti-Semitic Israel-hating elements in Europe,” [settlement leader Benny] Katzover told Channel 2. “What would you call a Jew who collaborates with them? A lowly ‘Jew-boy’ whose acts need to be publicized, so that maybe he will stop them.”
“The huge nose is an anti-Semitic motif,” Katzover admitted, and we used these motifs because these are lowly ‘Jew-boys’ who are able to receive their payment from anti-Semitic elements.”
The video has been taken up by the American Muslim-basher Pamela Geller, in a piece of “unhinged incitement against ‘leftwing Jews’,” Dan Cohen tweets. Geller writes in support of the video:
The leftwing Jew is not a Jew. He is an un-Jew, a JINO, a jewicidal, a kapo, and has been a pox on our house all throughout Jewish history.
They are powerful in Israel and the bane of its existence.
We too, suffer their sickness here in the States. Notorious quislings like Peter Beinart, Max Blumenthal, Ezra Klein et al are the bane of our existence.
The video’s extreme language is indicative of the crisis inside Jewish life and the potential for violence in Israel and Palestine after nearly 50 years of occupation. It is also evidence of the international traction of the boycott movement. Boycott is one of the headlines in the Nazi-like newspaper.
Twisted and rediculous distraction from the facts. Israel is in violation of international laws and many UN resolutions and has and continues to commit crimes agaisnt humanity. Many of the groups mentioned are attempting to expose those facts.
The suicide at the end of this piece of filth seems prophetic as that is where the zionist state appears to be heading. I’m at the point where I don’t care what happens to the Jewish state and feel nothing but shame about it and all it stands for.
I saw this yesterday via Dan Cohen, and uh, had a gastroesophageal moment or three.
There’s lots I could say about it, but I think it speaks for itself. I guess they won’t mind if others use it in other contexts, either. The next time I hear c/o antisemitic depictions of Jewish people/Israel, then this can be trundled out. And the PM wants European Jews to flock to illegally occupy illegal settlements???
These 2 are probably very proud of their Pammy:

“This week, boiling down the election to a common denominator low enough to take even his detractors by surprise, Netanyahu took to his Facebook page to post and endorse a Likud campaign video showing a naïve and presumably humanist generic center/leftist help ISIS shock troops in their bid to conquer Jerusalem.
“It’s us or them, Dayish [ISIS]-style,” Netanyahu wrote on his page. “This time, we’re choosing: The Likud led by Netanyahu, or a weak and surrenderist leftist government with Tzipi [Livni] and [Isaac] Bougie [Herzog].”
The theory is that Netanyahu, needing perhaps two or three additional Knesset seats to win re-election, has decided that he has nothing further to gain from centrists, and can only sway votes from the right and the extreme right.
That may also explain why the back-stretch campaign rhetoric touching on Obama has taken a sharp turn for the acrid: “U.S. President Barack Obama is mainstreaming anti-Semitism in America,” wrote former Netanyahu advisor Caroline Glick over the weekend.
According to Glick, a nominee for a prominent Likud Knesset slot, which eventually went to another candidate, “The perception that Obama either does not oppose or embraces Islamic extremism is strengthened when coupled with his appalling attempts to ignore the fact of Islamic Jew-hatred and its genocidal nature and his moves to demonize Netanyahu for daring to oppose his policy toward Iran.”
“Perhaps Obama is acting out of anti-Semitism,” she concluded, or “perhaps he acts out of sympathy for Islamic fascism.””

Glick is an abomination. Does anyone know if she still has a US passport?
