Thought to be impossible...NeoNazis in Israel

Frankly, I was shocked...got first wind of it by reading about it on a christian website & then googled...

VIDEO - Ten teenagers from Petach Tikva were arrested recently on suspicion of membership in a local neo-Nazi cell, it was cleared for publication Saturday night. According to police, the cell is headed by 19-year-old Eli Buanitov, a city resident known as 'Nazi Eli'.

Buanitov is suspected of having led his peers in cruel attacks on innocent by-standers, including minorities such as gays, foreign workers, and homeless people, as well as men wearing kippot.

The group is also suspected of having ties to neo-Nazi organizations abroad, whom they are thought to be trying to imitate. Police believe the boys used to meet frequently and exchange Hitler salutes.

All but one of the group members are non-Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union, who arrived in Israel via the law of return. [ "LAW OF RETURN"? ROFL... ] The last member is a temporary resident of the State. As such, the police's youth division, who uncovered the affair, referred to it as complicated and sensitive [ TO SAY THE LEAST ].

An investigation into the group was launched over a year ago, in response to two separate incidents of neo-Nazi graffiti in Petach Tikva.

In March 2006, swastikas were spray-painted on walls of a synagogue in the city, with the words 'White Power' written above them. Walls of an adjacent apartment building bore the words "death to Jews" in red paint, along with the letters 'WP'.

Two months later, swastikas were painted on a main street in Petach Tikva. At that time, the name 'Rammstein' – a German heavy-metal group accused of fascist sympathies - was painted on the door of a local synagogue.




The thing about the Neo-Nazi cell in Petah Tikva, the unbelievable failure, is that we have all known about the problem for years, but the government and the police did nothing. These non-Halachically Jewish (Halacha is Jewish religious law) neo-Nazis are an interesting psychological phenomenon, since the Nazis would have classified them as Jews. If they were ever to get to power, their first act should have have been to kill themselves. Woody Allen could make a great movie about this.

Now people insist that Israel must change the Law of Return. It won't do to just blame it on Law of Return. It is an opportune time to push a favorite cause of the religious lobby: to abandon those who are not Halachic Jews to their fate in the Diaspora. However, it won't really solve the problem of poor education. The Neo-Nazis didn't become such because their Jewish grandparent was of the wrong sex, but because of poor education. There might be a few hundred of these scum out of 250,000 Jews who are not Halachic Jews, but who were admitted to Israel as Jews under the Law of Return. Among the Halachic Jews there are other people with equally sick political ideas. Perhaps it is more in order to make some reasonable test of political loyalty before admitting anyone as a citizen. Having Norman ("Holocaust Industry") Finkelstein as a citizen of Israel would not be much better than having these people, would it? But then again, if Finkelstein or these people were facing death abroad because they are Jewish, would we deny them shelter?

The brilliant Israeli police, having failed to do anything about the problem for years, now set about to throw the book at the offenders. They were chagrined to discover that there is no law against having a picture of Hitler in your house, and now presumably some brilliant legislator will want to make one. Thereafter, every Israeli with an encyclopedia or a history book may be liable to spend time in jail for having a picture of Hitler in their house.
