Jewish Neo-Nazis?

Holy Moses!--

Israel's best kwn [sic] writer, Amos Oz, says that Israelis behind a wave of hate crimes against Muslims and Christians are "Hebrew neo-Nazis," Haaretz newspaper reported on its website Saturday.

It quoted the award-winning author as saying terms such as "price tag," widely used to describe attacks on Palestinians and others by Jewish extremists, are sanitised euphemisms.

They are "sweet names for a monster that needs to be called what it is: Hebrew neo-Nazi groups," Haaretz quoted Oz as telling guests Friday at an event marking his 75th birthday.

He said there was a difference between perpetrators of such events in the Jewish state and elsewhere.

"Our neo-Nazi groups enjoy the support of numerous nationalist or even racist legislators, as well as rabbis who give them what is in my view pseudo-religious justification," Haaretz quoted him as saying.

Earlier Friday, vandals spray-painted anti-Christian graffiti on a Jerusalem church, despite police stepping up security around religious sites ahead of a visit by Pope Francis later this month.

"Price tag... King David for the Jews... Jesus is garbage" was written in Hebrew on the wall of St George's Romanian Orthodox church near an ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood.

Police also said "Death to Arabs" was found written on a house in the Old City in east Jerusalem, and swastikas were scrawled on the wall of a west Jerusalem apartment.

After Hebrew graffiti reading "Death to Arabs and Christians and to everyone who hates Israel" was daubed on its Notre Dame complex in Jerusalem on Monday, the Roman Catholic church demanded Israeli action.

Well, don't tell Israel-loving Christian conservatives about this! They might rethink their great support of Israel.

But this phenomenon of Jewish neo-Nazis has also been reported by Max Blumenthal. It seems to originate with Russina-born Jews that emigrate to Israel but really have no connection to Israel or Judaism, and bring neo-Nazi authoritarian/fascist/racist tendencies from Russia. It's hard for me to fully understand but it seems real. Clearly, Israelis have been becoming more racist in recent years, with a disturbing amount of Jewish Supremicist sentiment.
