The Rules
Posts must be:

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!
Personally knowing some young Israeli’s.
A lot of them don’t take the holocaust very seriously and tend to joke about it a lot, (maybe it’s a coping mechanism)? In any case, this is probably a case of an edgy high schooler trying to make their friends laugh.
Could be a coping mechanism. If they took it seriously they would probably have to reflect about the similarities between the Nazis and Israel.
could be a coping mechanism
it's not. it's just a nazi do'in nazi shit.
It’s not that deep. Lots of teenagers do edgy stuff just because it’s edgy and not allowed.
He’ll look back in 10 years cringing about himself.
why is this in 'not the onion'? just nazis being nazis. whose fucking idea was it to take a literal fucking nazi on a tour of auschwitz anyway?
Fuck around and find out
Are they sending their youth to teach them how to deal with Palestinians?
no, they already know that. they can learn from anyone around them. they go to auschwitz to learn the proudest traditions of their people, and why they can never be allowed to fail again.
No need to put a stupid teenager in prison for a longer time for being stupid, but: A day or two behind bars on top of the fine might have had a better educational effect.
Put him in the middle of Gaza with no help and see how funny he finds himself.
Are you suggesting something bad would happen to a teenage Israeli student if he happened to be in the middle of Gaza with no help? Curious.
He didn't do it on accident and was fully aware of what he was doing and where he was doing it. Lock that scum up I say.
This is an idiotic teenager and should have no bearing on your opinion of Israel. (I shouldn't have to say this, but if I don't somebody will m'accuse: please note that I'm not defending Israel.)
and should have no bearing on your opinion of Israel
The behavior of people from a place actually should impact your opinion on that place
Had it been an American there'd either be no comment like yours or it would have been massively downvoted, food for thought
If it had been an American teenager, I doubt there would have been an article posted at all. But if there had been, I doubt such a comment would be downvoted.
I feel like a similar proportion of teenagers from Israel and America are idiots like this one. I remember many teenagers from my highschool (Canada) who would be this kind of dumb. Based on this, I don't see why people would react differently to my comment, though maybe it'd come across different if the reader is American, not sure. (I think I'd make the same inference about Canadian high schooler as another country's though.)
...that said, I do agree with you. I have noticed for instance that Japanese high schoolers in public seem to be incredibly polite compared to Canadian ones. You can make a small inference perhaps about the high schools from a country based on a single point of data like this. But -- I don't think this really says very much about the disposition toward Nazism (of the original German trappings) in the general Israeli public.
My grandfather did not fight in World War II for this shit. I hate this reality.
Wow, ya know I've been joking that Israel is full of Jewish Nazis, but..u hh... damn
Stupid fucking parents letting their stupid fucking kids get raised by the stupid fucking internet. I base this solely on just observation in the news about how "funny" nazi shit has become to edgy teenagers now a days. I also base this on the fact that every time an AI has been released to "learn" from the internet, it comes back a shitty hardcore nazi. I get that kids do stupid shit, but they deserve to find out what's in store for them with this edge lord garbage.
I'm ranting like an old person now dammit!!!
Remember that Pewdiepie arranging, paying for, and posting separate videos of people holding signs saying "Hitler did nothing wrong", and "Death to all Jews" were just jokes bro. To an audience of literally tens of millions of kids.
And people here still Stan for him. I'll take my downvotes now.
Yes, you are the baddies.
