Israel wrestles with Nazi insults
OK, let's get ready for the " anti-semite" comments....
Ouuupssss ... remark came from a Jew... in Israel...A cabinet minister... Justice on top of it!
Quote:
Israeli Justice Minister Yosef "Tommy" Lapid stunned Cabinet colleagues on Sunday by saying a picture of an elderly Palestinian woman searching through rubble reminded him of his grandmother.
Mr Lapid is a Holocaust survivor.
His grandmother was not. She died in Auschwitz.
In an interview with Israel Defence Forces radio, Mr Lapid said he was "talking about an old woman crouching on all fours, searching for her medicines in the ruins of her house... she made me think of my grandmother".
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon reprimanded Mr Lapid for comparing a Palestinian to a victim of the Nazis, calling the remarks "unacceptable and intolerable".
And Health Minister Danny Naveh of Mr Sharon's right-wing Likud party said Mr Lapid "can argue about demolishing houses... but you can't draw these kinds of analogies".
But while the remark shocked some Israeli politicians, it is actually fairly mild compared to some of the Holocaust-related insults that have been hurled across the Israeli political spectrum in the last decade.
