Israeli operation Protective edge in Gaza

Nope, it's not The Onion.

A few days ago some 300 Holocaust survivors placed an ad in the New York Times condemning the massacre in Gaza. My colleague from Local Call, John Brown, has selected a few of the responses on Facebook that Israelis posted in response to the ad.

I've translated a few from John's selection:

David Cohen: Those aren't Holocaust survivors those are probably collaborators with the Nazis.

Shmulik Halphon: He's invited to go back to Auschwitz.

Itzik Levy: These are survivors who were Kapos. Leftist traitors. That's why they live abroad and not in the Jewish State.

Vitali Guttman: Enough, they should die already. They survived the Holocaust only to do another Holocaust to Israel in global public opinion?

Meir Dahan: No wonder Hitler murdered 6 million Jews because of people like you you're not even Jews you're disgusting people a disgrace to humanity and so are your offspring you are trash.

Asher Solomon: It's a shame Hitler didn't finish the job.

Katy Morali: Holocaust survivors who think like this are invited to go die in the gas chambers.

Yafa Ashraf: Shitty Ashkenazis you are the Nazis.
