The use of National Socialist iconography in the admittedly more and more unsettling political debate in Israel seems to have conquered new grounds today, with the publication in Haaretz of this cartoon by Amos Biederman, depicting MK Ze’ev Elkin shining his boots after passing the vote outlawing calls for boycott of settlements.
Although I subscribe to M. Biederman’s view of M. Elkin, it’s nevertheless interesting to note that this cartoon was published in the same newspaper that was outraged by the depiction of late M. Rabin in S.S. uniform.
