A shameful, despicable act

Op-ed: Creators of clip comparing Israeli policemen to SS troops must be punished severely

The comparison between SS troops and Israeli police officers constitutes a crime, clear and simple. To be honest, I would have never believed that such scenario can indeed materialize in the new Jewish state, the one that was established on the ruins of European Jewry.

 

When the Muslims and their supporters accuse IDF soldiers and Israeli police officers of treating the Palestinians the way Nazi Germany treated the Jews we are shocked, rightfully so, and rejected these twisted, libelous charges out of hand.

 

Yet now, within Israel itself, seemingly sane Jews prepared a video clip that uses the very same arguments. It’s hard to be believe that it happened, but this is indeed what happened.

 

Now we must hope that the police will quickly find these delusional figures, who are criminals in every sense of the word - because people who incite others to sanction the murder of police officers deserve any condemnation and any punishment. In their criminal acts they undermine the democratic pillars of the state.

 

It’s clear that every Israeli is allowed to protest, criticize, and sound the alarm. However, this must only be done in line with the law.

 

Nobody in this country has the right to take the law into his own hands, regardless of his arguments. Moreover, those who harm our security forces in such a despicable manner cannot expect anything – no understanding, no mercy, and most certainly no support.

 

The people who created this video clip must be punished with the full severity of the law, while the members of the camp these people hail from must expresses their reservations from this act in the strongest terms possible.
