An update on the post on the revolting Israeli video parody that apparently many Israelis found fantastic - just check out the hair-raising comments on YouTube - demonstrating callousness of criminal proportions. Now, the Guardian reports, the Israeli government has been forced to apologise for circulating that video, which dismissed the Gaza flotilla aid as fake and mocked the activists who were attacked by Israeli military forces during the raid that left 9 civilians dead, many more wounded, and Israel internationally condemned for its actions and attitude.
But that's not all: a few days ago, Israel's Defence Force had to retract its claims that the person heard saying 'go back to Auschwitz' in an audio clip released both in Israeli and international media was a Gaza-aid activist. The Israeli army, the retraction clarifies, had 'edited the footage', so the identity of the person who makes that comment is unclear. Sounds sickeningly like yet another attempt on Israel's part to capitalise on the Holocaust, and use what is arguably one of the most horrific events in human history as a Unique Selling Point in an absolutely denigrating, inhumane marketing campaign designed to 'sell' Israel as a victim of Palestine to the world.
