An Israeli high school student was arrested and questioned by police for doing a Nazi salute during a school trip to Auschwitz, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

The teenager from Kiryat Bialik was on his school's field trip to Poland when he did the gesture under the entrance sign to the camp.

He was questioned for two hours by Polish police and was fined approximately NIS 1,500 after security guards observed him performing the salute. The museum also captured the incident on its security cameras; the footage was handed over to the police.

Polish police charged him with promoting Nazism, local media reported. Performing a seig heil is illegal in Poland, and carries a potential sentence of up to two years in prison.

Touch grass, man. When people call zionists nazis, they mean they are genocidal ethno(-religious) fascists. They don't literally mean they speak german, sport swastikas, heil hitler, and hate jews. Zionists despise literal nazis. I can't believe this actually has to be explained.

they don't tend to speak german at a higher rate than the general population, that part is true. many prefer a burning cross or killing star to a swastika, that's true. the ones that aren't also old fashioned nazis, which are increasingly common.

the rest of what you're saying is bullshit. the current head zio is a literal hitler apologist. look outside before asking me to touch grass, please.

Hm, Netenyahu saying palestinians made the nazis into the nazis we know today doesn't seem like nazi apologism, it sounds like more anti-palestinian propaganda to me.

oh, so it's okay when he does "hitler wasn't such a bad guy, really, just a little misguided".
