It wasn't a Nazi salute. It was a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, could be misinterpreted as a Nazi salute. I think we shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

I'm stunned .... again !! .... I have visited Auschwitz and it's impressive beyond words. At the entrance of the former gas chambers there is a sign asking to respect and remember those who died in there and keep silent in the chambers. Everyone did except for Israeli students. That is what brought the tears to my eyes. Betrayed and disrespected again, this time by their own.

This happens a lot more than you'd think. I experienced something similar in Dachau and the guide told me if someone does something unhinged/disrespectful during a tour there's a 9 out of 10 chance it's a descendant of a holocaust victim. She didn't say why she thought that is but she said it's something that puts the staff on edge whenever there's an Israeli group visiting. I'm surprised they got the cops involved though.

I wonder how bibi is gonna spin this one into being antisemitism on the side of the people who reported the student.

Dear god I hope eel-on-musk goes to Poland and tries that. He so deserves to find out.

Edit: clarification: I’m saying I want him to be arrested somewhere that’s not the US

I'm not going to give some asshat teenager the same level of shit as Elon. It's a hell of a lot more likely in that context that he really was kidding, just distastefully.

My grandfather did not fight in World War II for this shit. I hate this reality.

Yes, you are the baddies.

Personally knowing some young Israeli’s.

A lot of them don’t take the holocaust very seriously and tend to joke about it a lot, (maybe it’s a coping mechanism)? In any case, this is probably a case of an edgy high schooler trying to make their friends laugh.

Are they sending their youth to teach them how to deal with Palestinians?

That’s €376.10, not nearly enough imo.
