though, the queen unkle was one.
2. Why am I not surprised that a Brit bought Nazi souvenirs!

Your condemnation of ALL British people is no better than the Nazi condemnation of ALL Jews. It seems endemic among the majority of posters here that if ONE person of a specific ethnic specificity causes offence the entire nation is accused of anti-semitism. You who are guilty of this attitude contribute to negative views on Israel and Jews. In 2000 years ANY artifact, Nazi or otherwise from this period will be considered a collectors piece
4. Nazi Regalia

They should be given to columnists of Haaretz.
5. i agree with robert
mark ,   nazareth   (03.17.11)
the artifacts that have been found and sold are historical pieces even though through their era in histroy many atrocities occured. many artifacts that have been found throughout history have the blood of many people or peoples on them. These historical pieces should be turned into a museum for restoration and to be looked after properly. How can we save the future if we do not remember the past???
6. Calm down, you hysteric yentas
Daria ,   Israel   (03.17.11)
The guy's a collector and he got himself a little goldmine while he's at it too. I know several antique collectors, Jewish ones, who too hold all kinds of papers and even money from the 3rd Reich. It's preserving history and making a buck. Stop being the hysteric b***es you are already. You can buy Soviet souvenirs and insignas on Dizingoff junk market.

Alfie Knowkes ,   Golan   (03.17.11)
The article clearly states that the man buying this stuff is in Hatzor Hagallil; which is not in Britain. Its in Israel. Not Britain. Israel. The British fought the Nazis hard, while the jews spent the war in camps.
8. Forbidden fruit ,...

Stupid law make the object of desire only more atractive and profitable in exchange,...
9. #7 missed a bit
John Bull ,   London   (03.17.11)
"The British fought the Nazis hard, while the jews spent the war in camps." Then the Jews started killing the British...
10. OK Daria: let's just drop the hard feelings...
EZ ,   US   (03.17.11)
Duh! A heartless fellow Jew calling their brethren Yentas when an old wound opens up and hurts. Who's not normal here? Who is the one missing a level head and the biggest, most precious part of the human disposition? Well "Daria"...take a nice long look in the mirror and see what insensitive is all about. What chutzpah. Glad I don't know such a cold person such as you. With an attitude like that there is no way you add anything of value to this world. Youre dismissed.

get off your high horse !! We still haven't forgotten that theLimey’s swiped 75% of the Palestine Mandate that had been allocated for the Jews and gave to Emir Abdullah of Arabia as payoff for his services to England during World War One Nor, have we forgotten that some of the Jews that had managed to survive the Nazi Death camps, boarding ships to get to Palestine, were intercepted by the British, who whipped and high pressure hosed them into submission and then transported them to the British Concentration Camps on Cyprus When the British finally left Palestine, they turned over the arms & Taggart Fortresses to the Arabs Remember Bloody Bevin, we do !! You still haven't said what you're doing to alleviate the misery of your own Aborigines, from whom you stole the land How about showing some concern to events at home ??
12. #9 JOHN BULL - THAT'S A LOT OF BULL
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.18.11)
British hung our men, there was payback King David Hotel, British Military H.Q. for Palestine, they received two warnings to get out, they didn't Shoulr I name the countries that said "Good riddance to bad rubbish" when the saw the last of you ? India, Pakistan & the American Colonies are among them

England has nothing to be proud of-especially concerning the Jewish people-read history.You must be a winging POM or a stupid Arab-either way you are a dickhead.
14. We've been making money off the Holocaust for over 60 years
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.18.11)
Yes, this man committed two felonies. But aside from the Nazi "souvenir" import law this man is only different from other importers/exporters in that he got caught (understating the value of the merchandice). We live in a country and a world where our government and out leaders have profiteering off the Holocuast and Nazi crimes since the last DP was settled over sixty years ago. While our government officials enjoy their specially discounted Mercedes cars and other German imports, while our politicians bring every envoy to the region to the Yad VaShem museum to champion the death of millions in a grand display in exchange for sympathy and financial assistance, there is no authority in this country (or anywhere) who has the moral standing to demonize the behavior of this man. He did not buy this stuff from Nazis who in turn used the money to murder Jews. He bought it cheap and sold it for a profit just like our government and national leaders do, leading by example.

Stop spreading lies you ignorant Pommie twit-there were at least 500000 Jews on the Russian side that fought the Nazis.There were A merican,Australian etc etc and Jews were also in Nth Africa And what about English Jews .If it weren't for US and other countries help you would be German now .The EU is becoming Muslim-how does that grab you-wanker.
16. If I wanted to bring my late fathers
jason white ,   afula, israel   (04.17.11)
WWII souvenirs to Israel from the U.S.,I would be committing a crime? I want to keep them as well as his uniform from the U.S. army Third Armored Division.I would ot sell them under any conditions.
17. To #7 There were a few hundred thousand
jason white ,   afula, israel   (04.17.11)
Jewish soldiers amongst the allies and the resistance movements. Not everyone was in a camp. The british fought just as hard to keep Jews out of the palestine mandate and helped the nazis kill even more Jews. They along with the U.S. refused to bomb the rail lines to the concentration camps. Do not make them the heroes they were not. Also remember how many foreigners and members of the commonwealth wore british uniforms. A good example was the Jews of the palestinian mandate that volunteered to fight the axis as members of the british armed forces.
