There are some things you just don’t do. It doesn’t matter how unconventional you may think you are or how desperate you are to get a message out there. Some lines are simply not meant to be crossed.

Last week, a group of pro-Palestinian Israeli activists chose to demonstrate against Israeli policy in Gaza by spraying graffiti on one of the last remaining walls of Poland’s Warsaw Ghetto. The group, without a doubt, crossed that line.

The left-leaning protestors held a rally near the wall and then sprayed graffiti in Hebrew and English calling for all ghettos — including Gaza — to be liberated. The words “Free Gaza and Palestine” and “Liberate all ghettos” were displayed in Hebrew and English beside Palestinian flags that the group hung from the wall.

Everything old is new again. Shades of pre-WWII!!

Anyone too blind to see that the modern liberal Left is openly mimicking the nazis with their blatant antiSemitism is either willfully ignorant or darkly evil. Follow Noam Chomsky and you’ll eventually land in Hitler’s mind.

Shades of pre-WWII!!

In what way?

In the runup to WWII in Poland and many other countries in Europe, Jewish sections in many cities were subjected to grafitti being sprayed on businesses and homes with the word “Juden” (Jew).

Given the total human toll for WWII both in war dead and Hitler’s extermination efforts to eradicate the earth of Jews, I would like to think that humans have moved past the prejudice that has been created against Jews.

If we are unable to surpass this hatred of one group of people on the basis of their religion and ethnicity, I have to wonder why the same prejudices are not openly displayed toward those of the Islamic “faith”? Last time I looked, Jews weren’t trying to subject all non-Jews or exterminate them from the earth. The same can’t be said of a sect of the Islamic “faith”.

Yes indeed. And Israel seems content to have taken the go-along-to-get-along attitude with its enemies again - how else explain the new kissy-kissy with Obuttocks?

Israel must stand firm against the antisemites, and must keep foremost in its mind when dealing with Obuttocks and the left generally: NEVER AGAIN

What are you talking about? This graffiti was put up by Jews.

From the article - Last week, a group of pro-Palestinian Israeli activists chose to demonstrate against Israeli policy in Gaza by spraying graffiti on one of the last remaining walls of Poland’s Warsaw Ghetto.

Being a pro-Palestinian Israeli does NOT make them Jews!! There are MANY Israeli hating Arab Israelis who remained when the UN created Israel in 1948 because thery considered it their family home. They may be Israeli citizens, but they are certainly NOT Jews. That's like saying that Obama is an American. He just lives here, but he's an America hating Kenyan!!

The protesters are Jews. Which you’d know if you’d read the linked story in full.

Why is it so important to you that their Jewishness be concealed?

What leap of logic led you to THAT conclusion??

And a memorial at Majdanek was torched on August 9th. My sister was part of a large Jewish group that had been there a few days earlier and had been touring Lublin. Not everyone there was friendly.
