I was going to say that it was reminiscent of the kind of 'home movies' the NAZIs made during their rampage through Eastern Europe and Russia during the darkest days of the Holocaust; only that wouldn't be accurate. It's not 'reminiscent', it's exactly the same. It's the thugs of the NAZI SA reborn in Israel. It's the murderous legions of the NAZI SS, reborn in Israel. It's the repugnant grotesque 'humour' of the NAZI Special Units born again inside Israel. It's the NAZIs, wild and armed hunting Palestinians, during the horror of the Krystalnacht, inside modern Israel. Full on fascism reborn, inside Israel.
This, as in NAZI Germany, is what happens when rabid ultra-nationalism is allowed and encoraged to grow inside a country and its people. Add a lot of mystical quasi-relgiouos mumbo-jumbo about 'Lebensraum' and our holy right to the land where our mythical forefathers walked, and one has a heady brew for fanatics to gulp down undiluted and run wild and without restraint on a helpless civilian population.
There's something truly grotesque watching the Israeli people embracing the ideology and methods of the NAZIs. A tragic historical irony.
