VIDEO: Israel likens Palestinian incitement to Nazi propaganda

The 49-second clip, which is titled "Nazi Propaganda returns in Palestinian incitement," shows anti-Semitic cartoons that were used in Europe to foment anti-Jewish animus.



The Foreign Ministry on Monday released a video on social media equating anti-Israel incitement in Palestinian media with Nazi-era imagery and propaganda.

The 49-second clip, which is titled "Nazi Propaganda returns in Palestinian incitement," shows anti-Semitic cartoons that were used in Europe to foment anti-Jewish animus.

The video then cuts to a number of anti-Israel cartoons that use similar themes and which appear regularly in Palestinian and Arab media and textbooks.

Israel has accused the Palestinian Authority of inciting the masses to commit acts of violence, including stabbings and car rammings, against Israeli soldiers and civilians.

The question is whether the clip is incitement or just borderline incitement. Either way, the idiot who made the clip should be fired for making the Israeli government look like a bunch of racists.

2. Calling out murderous incitement is now incitement? Seriously?

What do you think about actual Nazi incitement that lead to mass murders of Jews?

No biggie?

To call that out would be anti-German bigotry?

3. The video is exactly right. An inconvenient truth for some.

Calling out incitement is not the same as incitement.

This is the first time I saw the videos of the Palestinian stabbing attackers. They sure look like people who have been incited. The reality of it is scary.

Incitement, can not be taken seriously in the real world.

5. The clip is clearly intended to incite hatred.

The Nazi comparison is just a smear, and it's definitely not working for me. I need more convincing than a few unsourced pictures zooming in and out, accompanied by a catchy tune. All I see is a clip trying to incite hate towards Palestinians.

I think the clip should be removed from the Foreign Ministry website - it's no better than the pictures and videos on FB and Youtube that promote stabbings of Jews.

6. You're against criticism of the PA & Hamas, I get it....

But the PA and Hamas are not the Palestinian people.

Using your logic, criticism of the Israeli Gov't would be reckoned as incitement and racist towards Jews as well.

==========

What's worse is you seem more upset with the Israeli video than actual PA incitement (which you've denied) that has resulted in the murder of Jews.
