This shocking cartoon, “The Eternal Jew,” was produced by a settlers’ group in the West Bank. It says that several Israeli human rights groups are collaborating with Nazis by reporting on Israeli human rights abuses and in doing so, parodies Nazi propaganda about Jews.

The video speaks for itself. It has remarkably high production values, and portrays a hook-nosed, money-loving Jew appearing in the offices of an editor named Sturmer to inform on Israeli human rights abuses, such as IDF actions, the killing of Palestinian children, and the maintenance of checkpoints throughout the West Bank. Sturmer was of course the name of a Nazi propaganda publication, though in the video the paper is called Hasmol, or The Left in Hebrew.

The video ends with the collaborationist Jew hanging from a tree and the lesson: “The Europeans may seem different to you today, but to them you are exactly the same.”

Next to the lynched Jew are the logos of nine Israeli NGOs, including B’Tselem, Yesh Din, Breaking the Silence, the New Israel Fund, Peace Now and Gush Shalom. The Times of Israel says that leftwing groups have called for a government investigation of Samaria Settlers Committee for inciting violence by publishing the video on Saturday and that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu “attacked” the ad yesterday.

Arutz Sheva reports that one rightwing Israeli politician has said approving things about the cartoon:

Naftali Bennett said that while he agrees with the video’s content, he finds its style to be wrong. Europe does, indeed, fund leftist organizations that harm IDF soldiers, he said, “and groups like B’tselem and Yesh Din collect information on IDF soldiers and pass it on to the enemy and the Goldstone report.”

Bennett rejected the anti-Semitic imagery of the video, but its makers have defended the images.

“The video is about the shameful phenomenon in which Israeli leftist groups receive funding from anti-Semitic Israel-hating elements in Europe,” [settlement leader Benny] Katzover told Channel 2. “What would you call a Jew who collaborates with them? A lowly ‘Jew-boy’ whose acts need to be publicized, so that maybe he will stop them.” “The huge nose is an anti-Semitic motif,” Katzover admitted, and we used these motifs because these are lowly ‘Jew-boys’ who are able to receive their payment from anti-Semitic elements.”

The video has been taken up by the American Muslim-basher Pamela Geller, in a piece of “unhinged incitement against ‘leftwing Jews’,” Dan Cohen tweets. Geller writes in support of the video:

The leftwing Jew is not a Jew. He is an un-Jew, a JINO, a jewicidal, a kapo, and has been a pox on our house all throughout Jewish history.

They are powerful in Israel and the bane of its existence.

We too, suffer their sickness here in the States. Notorious quislings like Peter Beinart, Max Blumenthal, Ezra Klein et al are the bane of our existence.

The video’s extreme language is indicative of the crisis inside Jewish life and the potential for violence in Israel and Palestine after nearly 50 years of occupation. It is also evidence of the international traction of the boycott movement. Boycott is one of the headlines in the Nazi-like newspaper.
