Zionist “Price Tag” mirrors Hitler’s Youth

By Jamal Kanj* | Redress | 14 March 2012

Jamal Kanj sees similarities between Israel’s Price Tag organization and Hitler’s Youth, and calls on the world to take note before it is too late. “Price Tag membership is currently around 3,000, proportionally larger than Hitler’s Youth, who numbered less than 5,000 in 1925. Ignored by world powers, Hitler’s Youth … swelled to 25,000 by 1930, propelling the Nazi party to power.”

“Death to Christians” and “Death to Arabs” was scrawled in Hebrew last week on an old monastery and properties of Palestinian Christians in Jerusalem. On 20 February a Baptist church was defiled with graffiti insulting Jesus’s mother. Earlier in the same month an 11th century Greek Orthodox monastery was desecrated. The work carried the hallmark signature of “Price Tag”.

Price Tag is a pugnacious Jewish organization established in 2008. Its members come mostly from illegal Jews-only settlements in occupied Palestine. The organization targets Muslim and Christian sites in the West Bank and Palestinians inside Israel.

Israeli human rights organizations have documented Price Tag’s violence like burning mosques, desecrating churches, vandalizing Muslim and Christian graveyards, physical assaults, uprooting of olive trees, destroying and stealing crops from Palestinian farms.

“As with Nazi groups in Europe or the Klu Klux Klan in the USA. Price Tag members are indoctrinated by deep hatred toward those who they perceive as a threat to their self-professed ‘superior’ race, colour or religion.”

According to B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, Price Tag attacks against Muslim and Christian sites have increased exponentially in the last three months. B’Tselem documented seven such attacks during December 2011 alone.

In one of the documented incidents, Price Tag attacked Palestinian women travelling near the Jews-only settlement of Gilad. When the driver complained to a military checkpoint few hundred metres away, the Israeli soldiers shrugged him off.

In fact, out of thousands of racist assaults against Palestinians between 2005 and 2010, Israel investigated only 97 cases, and none of these was brought to court.

As with Nazi groups in Europe or the Klu Klux Klan in the USA. Price Tag members are indoctrinated by deep hatred toward those who they perceive as a threat to their self-professed “superior” race, colour or religion.

Israeli Price Tag members are drawn mostly from Haredi rabbis and students or graduates from Jewish Yeshiva, or religious schools. They advocate building new Jews-only settlements and killing or expelling native Palestinians.

Price Tag’s spiritual leaders, rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur co-authoured a controversial book The King’s Torah. Rabbi Elitzur runs a Yeshiva in the Jews-only colony of Yitzhar.

In their book, the rabbis pontificate that under Jewish laws “It is permissible to kill the righteous among nations even if they are not responsible for the threatening situation… If we kill a gentile… there is nothing wrong with the murder.”

“In their book, the rabbis [Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur] pontificate that under Jewish laws ‘It is permissible to kill the righteous among nations even if they are not responsible for the threatening situation… If we kill a gentile… there is nothing wrong with the murder.’”

The rabbis were given credence as authorities on Jewish law by several prominent Israeli rabbis, including Rabbi Yithak Ginzburg and Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, who recommended the The King’s Torah book to their students and followers.

These Jewish theologians represent a growing number, ignored by Western media, of ultra-racist religious movements that advocate separate laws for Jews and gentiles. Some rabbis go as far as asserting that laws prohibiting the killing of civilians are rooted in Christian values and therefore not binding on Jews.

This was exemplified in 2006 when the Rabbinic Council of Jewish Settlements in the West Bank issued an appeal to Israeli soldiers “to ignore Christian morals and exterminate the enemy in the north [Lebanon] and the south [Gaza Strip].”

Price Tag membership is currently around 3,000, proportionally larger than Hitler’s Youth who numbered less than 5,000 in 1925. Ignored by world powers, Hitler’s Youth membership swelled to 25,000 by 1930, propelling the Nazi party to power in 1933.

If the world powers continue to condone Israel’s intransigence and its disregard of international law by building illegal Jews-only colonies on the very land designated for the future Palestinian state, Jewish Price Tag’s propensity will soon transform Israel officially into a racist state, thus taking the region to a new level of hate and destruction.
