Polish lawmaker brands Israelis as Nazis

During a Polish legislative session yesterday, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, a lawmaker speaking to the chamber unfolded an Israeli flag with the Star of David replaced with a swastika. Konrad Berkowicz, of the far-right Konfederacja party, accused Israel of genocide and said, “Israel is the new Third Reich, and its flag should look exactly like this.” The Israeli Foreign Ministry responded: “It is hard to imagine a lower depth of contempt towards the Holocaust than this revolting act.” The incident is a crucial sign that as Israel fights for its existence against Islamist terrorists in the Middle East, the greater threat is rising again in Europe.
