Israel: While certain elements of the Israeli government have been screaming about the evils of anti-Semitism in Europe, and urging French, British and German Jews to move to Israel, they seem to have failed to notice a new hotbed of anti-semitic sentiment - Israel. As Haaretz observes, the first Israeli Neo-Nazi web site opened nearly two years ago.
The site is well organized. It has text and pictures showing the activists of the organization,The White Israeli Union,some of them in Israel Defense Forces uniforms on the background of army camps and saluting with a raised arm. The expanded text is divided into sub-sections. There is one onWho we are,where the managers of the site introduce themselves asIlya from Haifa and Andrei from Arad,and it is related there that the members of the organization arepeople who have pride in themselves and are sick of living among the dirty bastards.There is a section onWho our enemies are,where all theenemiesare extensively documented: the Jews, the Arabs, the immigrants from all Moslem republics of the former Soviet Union, the Moroccans, the foreign workers - in short, theblack-asses.In the material about the Arabs there is even a practical suggestion to enlist in the IDF in a combat unit, in order to get weapons and begin to shoot at them in every possible circumstance.
The bampots behind the site are apparently Russians who have taken advantage of a loophole in the 'Law of Return':
...the law under which Jews from the former Soviet Union can immigrate to Germany is close to the restricted definition ofJewish under Jewish law.The Israeli Law of Return, however, is in fact based on the Nuremberg Laws, in which the [Third Reich-era] Germans expanded the definition of who is Jewish in accordance with their own needs.

if people with jewish heritage (e.g a jewish grandparent as stated in the article) were the ones targetted by the nazis and the nuremberg laws, then they are the ones that the jewish state will seek to protect just as strongly as someone who is jewish by "jewish law". Israel is a secular jewish state, not a religous one, therefore the comparisson in the article is irrelevant. Also the article's statement about germany's immigration policy regarding jews means what exactly? that they have a better and more "ethical" history of the treatment of jews because of their current immigration policy? what rot.

Write to Haaretz, not me - it was one of their reporters who wrote the words you object to. They only live and work in Israel, and are probably Israeli citizens, so they are completely unlikely to have have any clue whatsoever as to social problems in that country.
