An Israeli high school student was arrested and questioned by police for doing a Nazi salute during a school trip to Auschwitz, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

The teenager from Kiryat Bialik was on his school's field trip to Poland when he did the gesture under the entrance sign to the camp.

He was questioned for two hours by Polish police and was fined approximately NIS 1,500 after security guards observed him performing the salute. The museum also captured the incident on its security cameras; the footage was handed over to the police.

Polish police charged him with promoting Nazism, local media reported. Performing a seig heil is illegal in Poland, and carries a potential sentence of up to two years in prison.

Fines and jail time is too much I think. I'd vote for a thorough reprimand and maybe cleaning the grounds from trash instead.

Are they sending their youth to teach them how to deal with Palestinians?

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.

Put him in the middle of Gaza with no help and see how funny he finds himself.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

He didn't do it on accident and was fully aware of what he was doing and where he was doing it. Lock that scum up I say.

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.)

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 17 points 8 hours ago

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

My grandfather did not fight in World War II for this shit. I hate this reality.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago

Ikr? I saw someone post one of those grandfather didn't fight for this meme and I can help think that he would shoot the guys hold that flag you hugging

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!!!

Remember that Pewdiepie arranging, paying for, and posting separate videos of people holding signs saying "Hitler did nothing wrong", and "Death to all Jews" were just jokes bro. To an audience of literally tens of millions of kids.

And people here still Stan for him. I'll take my downvotes now.

[–] CarbonBasedNPU@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know if it was managed by a PR company or what but he really did "retire" at the absolute perfect time to still continue to exist as a positive image to most of the people who used to watch him. I think if he stuck around even a year longer the drama cycle would have hit him hard.

[–] Fluke@lemm.ee 1 points 7 minutes ago

"Retire"?

He's still a "thing". People were stanning the cunt just last week for installing Linux on his new gaming PC FFS.

This timeline is a fucking crass joke.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 2 points 9 hours ago

It's not the Internet's fault. It's just the kind of place Israel is now

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago

Bro saw the American inauguration and the intrusive thoughts kicked in 💀

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 41 points 15 hours ago

Yes, you are the baddies.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 29 points 15 hours ago (6 children)

That’s €376.10, not nearly enough imo.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

That's a first time fee

And 410.57 American freedom eagles.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I would unironically love for the dollar to be discontinued and replaced with eagles.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

an Eagle is a $10 coin. A $20ncoin is a double eagle.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Excellent. By the time Trump is done they'll be fit for vending machine snacks.

A double eagle weighed in at almost an ounce of solid gold. The US dollar has really gone the way of the ruble.

Nah this is satire! This has to be satire!!!! Please someone tell me this is satire!!!!!!!!

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 55 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

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.

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.

Mr. Mangione had a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture against a CEO.

🤣

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago

A heartfelt gesture indeed. Remember everyone: Jury Nullification.
