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.

Stupid fucking parents letting their stupid fucking kids get raised by the stupid fucking internet. I base this solely on just observation in the news about how "funny" nazi shit has become to edgy teenagers now a days. I also base this on the fact that every time an AI has been released to "learn" from the internet, it comes back a shitty hardcore nazi. I get that kids do stupid shit, but they deserve to find out what's in store for them with this edge lord garbage.

I'm ranting like an old person now dammit!!!

This is an idiotic teenager and should have no bearing on your opinion of Israel. (I shouldn't have to say this, but if I don't somebody will m'accuse: please note that I'm not defending Israel.)

No need to put a stupid teenager in prison for a longer time for being stupid, but: A day or two behind bars on top of the fine might have had a better educational effect.

Edge Lord asked for that

That's so crazy it's almost like people don't like Nazis... 🤷

Wow, ya know I've been joking that Israel is full of Jewish Nazis, but..u hh... damn

Fuck Israel

Throw the book at them.

lmao get fucked

They skipped over how old this person is. Somehow I think this is a teen doing dumb stuff.

Fuck around and find out
