1. Why deny the Saudis their natural connection?
tom ,   tel aviv   (09.21.13)
2. Hitler Loved the Saudis
Jack ,   Washington DC   (09.21.13)
Hitler's best buddy was the Grand Mufti - why would the ADL think Saudis find this offensive. They should go back to initimidating the French wherethey may do some good.
3. HTLERS ADMIERERS
ONTIME ,   VACA/ USA   (09.21.13)
There is nothing new about the love of Hitler in the middle east, he did make it a point to cultivate the nazi intolerance in the region. When you recall the Faker in the WH bowing before a saudi king, remember the nazi connection...
4. Hitler commercial
Red ,   Huntsville, USA   (09.21.13)
I suggest that the U.S. use some of the old nucs we have to wipe out Saudi Arabia!
5. OK for Jewish Hollywood make fun of Hitler, but no one else
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.21.13)
'Inglourious Basterds' Should Be Recognized With An Academy Award By Abraham H. Foxman
6. saudi tv/hitler
Sandy ,   Sunnyvale, CA USA   (09.21.13)
Why would anyone be surprised? hitler regularly met with islamics to discuss his policy for the extermination of the Jews. They (islamics) carry the policy today, of course they celebrate hitler.
7. This is an old YouTube meme!
Flatula ,   San Francisco, USA   (09.21.13)
Similar Tarantino Hitler riffs are all over YouTube. The folks in Dubai just jumped on the bandwagon. And if you watch a few, you'll see they can be quite funny.
8. We should see them in the USA.
george ,   nashville usa   (09.21.13)
Would be wonderful. Save America - Dump Israel
9. Hitler and Saudis
Bill ,   Cleveland, OH, USA   (09.21.13)
Hitler, Nazism and Islam have a lot in common. All hate Jews and want to eradicate all of them. All hate Christianity and want to eradicate them.
10. !! Even if you're not religious...
Ovadiah ben Avraham ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.21.13)
It really looks like the world is ripe for some old fashioned judgement. Putin, Assad, Saudi. Now even the NYT is throwing Israel under the bus as violently as it can -- publishing Putin, and now an op-ed with a graphic showing Obama caught in a blue-and-white spider web, titled: "Let's Be Serious About Israel's Nukes".
11. Much ado about nothing.
Patrick ,   Tampa   (09.21.13)
If the article is accurate in describing it as a play on Tarantino's Hitler, then this is a nonstory about a nonissue. Hitler, in that film and in the countless YouTube variations that followed, is doing what? Freaking out about the advances and achievements of his enemies. If you're genuinely outraged about this, you are either not unsophisticated but notably ignorant or you simply fancy being offended or bashing Germans and/or Arabs. As a British American who supports general military actions across the Mideast--those wars are acts of charity on behalf of the west--I don't qualify as an apologist for mid-twentieth century Teutonic national socialists nor modern yet ancient, backwards jihadists; however, treating this as an issue is pathetic moaning. It is every bit as pure drek as the 'uproar' over the namesake of the Washington Redskins.
12. What trivializes.
Billy ,   Branson, USA   (09.22.13)
The thing that really trivializes the holocaust is constantly beating people over the head with it, imprisoning people who question the golden calf it has been turned into, and thinking the ADL has the right to dictate what others decide to use in their advertising.
13. re: OK for Jewish Hollywood make fun of Hitler, but no one e
Theo ,   Pittsburgh   (09.22.13)
Hey, moron, the nazi saudis were not making fun of hitler. They admire the prik.
14. Hitler and the Saudi's
itsy_bitsy ,   Summerfield, FL   (09.22.13)
How many of you know that during World War II, they were actually aligned with Hitler against the allies? Not many I bet!
15. saudi tv airs hitler in ads
angelo laffey ,   nyc ,usa   (09.22.13)
do these morons know what the germans did to the saudis in north africa in ww11 ??
16. Really....
Preston ,   San Diego, US   (09.22.13)
If they described the situation right, the clip is not from inglorious bastards. its the Hitler's rage bit on YouTube, which is from the German movie "der untergang" (the downfall). At least get your facts right.
17. Saudis - Hitler
rocky ,   Los Angeles, USA   (09.22.13)
Many people in the states no longer pay any attention to the radical ADL. Why hide the evil of Hitler and how the Saudis murdered Jews for Hitler. In fact the ADL does not expose the Nazi Collaborators of the United States. Especially those of political family's. If the World keeps hiding the evils of Hitler, Lenin, Stalin and Mussolini. The World will see such evil again. It looks like it is rising as I write this ?
18. #5 Benassi, try reading the article
Jake   (09.22.13)
The Saudi network is not making fun of Hitler. It turned Hitler into a cartoon poster child for itself. The Saudi Hitler is singing praises for the Saudi network.
19. #18, Jews, ADL, do not own Hitler, Nazis, WWII, or Holocaust
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.22.13)
"The concept is a ripoff of a ripoff: It recalls the popular meme where folks slapped humorous new subtitles over the Hitler meltdown scene from the 2004 film Downfall starring Bruno Ganz."
20. Hitler Was Misunderstood
Frank ,   Vancouver   (09.22.13)
We fought the wrong side in WW ll. The Bolsheviks triumphed, and now look at the mess we're in. If not for Israel, there would be no problems in the Middle East. Jews have managed to convince the world that some kind of mass killing took place under Hitler, and we are supposed to feel sorry for them in perpetuity. Their lies are wearing thin, and sooner or later, the truth about the holohoax will come out.
21. September rhymes with Remember rhymes in Arabic?
HarloweThrombey ,   Burbank, CA   (09.23.13)
September rhymes with Remember in Arabic, too?
22. ADOLFHITLERISM AND ''ISLAM-SAUDI-ARABIA''
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR BIG MULTIVERSE   (09.23.13)
''ISLAM'', NATIONAL-SOCIALISM, ADOLFHITLERISM, FASCISM, FOR EXAMPLE, CAN BE CONSIDERED AS CRIME. LET US ALSO ABOLISH/END THE CRIMINAL, APARTHEID OBSESSION/IDEOLOGY OF ''SHARIA/JIHAD/ISLAM'' AND THAT SO-CALLED ''ISLAM WORLD CALIPHATE'', SINCE THE 7TH. CENTURY, FROM MECCA/MAKKAH AND MEDINA ON THE ARABIAN PENINSULA. HEALTH, SECURITY, PEACE AND SALUTE, SJOERD RUURD.
23. #20 Well said
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (10.19.13)
And while I concur with your sentiments and words, every time I try to write the same theme, YNET never publishes it! Lucky you!
