[Salon] Why are Israelis behaving like Nazis with the Palestinians?





Why are Israelis behaving like Nazis with the Palestinians?

 

Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s Xmas present to the children of Gaza

It doesn’t get much sicker than this... Israeli President Herzog signs a bomb for Gaza, 25.12.2023.

 

Herzog says all Gazans are complicit in terror. "It's an entire nation out there that is responsible,” says Herzog. This dehumanisation of Palestinians creates the political and social climate of the genocide we see today.

WATCH: Israeli Soldiers Chant About Wiping Out Palestinians

 

This is a video of Israeli soldiers dancing and chanting a song for the elimination of the Palestinian people calling them “the seed of Amalek” in reference to Biblical verses exhorting to the genocide of the Canaanites, the indigenous people of Palestine, whom the Bible refers to in I Samuel, 15:3: as the “Amalekites”, calling on Jews to:

 

'Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.'

 

This is a song inspired by religious racist teaching against the Palestinians in particular and all non-Jews 'Gentiles', or goyim in general. The soldiers chant:

 

I’m coming to occupy Gaza and beat Hezbollah.

I stick by one mitzvah to wipe off the seed of Amalek.

I left home behind me, won’t come back until victory.

We know our slogan, there are no “uninvolved civilians.”

The Israeli army did not deny the authenticity of the video showing soldiers chanting for the elimination of Palestinian citizens.

In their government-funded schools, Jewish religious extremists teach hatred and racism to the pupils. One example is a song sung by children of Kiryat Arba settlement in the West Bank screened in an SBS documentary “A Season inside God’s Bunker” on 3 May 1994. The song goes as follows:

 

All the world hates Arabs,
And the main thing is to kill them one by one,
With these feet, I stepped on my enemy,
With these teeth, I bit his skin,
With these lips, I sucked his blood,
And I still haven’t had enough revenge.

Masha Gessen recently was awarded the prestigious Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought — in a scaled-back ceremony after a very public spat. The author and staff writer at The New Yorker faced backlash after comparing Gaza to Nazi-era Jewish ghettos in the essay "In the Shadow of the Holocaust." Gessen joined Michel Martin to discuss the difficulty of exercising critical thought.

 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, likening Israel’s assault on Gaza to Nazi Germany’s killing of Jews. What difference do you have from Hitler? Is what this Netanyahu is doing any less than what Hitler did? It is not,” Erdogan said. “He is richer than Hitler, he gets the support from the West. All sorts of support comes from the United States. And what did they do with all this support? They killed more than 20,000 Gazans,” he said.

 

Germany’s complicity with Israel in the genocide against the Palestinians is not limited to expressions of solidarity with the right-wing Netanyahu government. The German government is playing a central role in arming and equipping the Israeli war machine…

 

First defence related contacts were made in 1954 during the negotiations on German reparations for the genocide committed by Germany under the national-socialist government. Defence-related talks were held in secret since both sides regarded the political climate as very unfavourable. The German government was eager to avoid any public debate on responsibility for the inhumane crimes and genocide committed under the previous regime. On the Israeli side, the government believed that their public would not tolerate any cooperation with the former oppressor. But soon a second common factor emerged, which was to shape the future bilateral relationship: (re)arming the national forces.

 

Gessen says Germany’s culture of learning about and atoning for the sins of the Nazi regime has morphed into steadfast support for the state of Israel despite its actions while banning most forms of pro-Palestinian solidarity as part of a flawed effort to fight antisemitism. The cornerstone of this form of “memory politics” is that “you can’t compare the Holocaust to anything,” says Gessen. “My argument is that in order to learn from history, we have to compare.”
