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.)

Wow, ya know I've been joking that Israel is full of Jewish Nazis, but..u hh... damn
My grandfather did not fight in World War II for this shit. I hate this reality.
Ikr? I saw someone post one of those grandfather didn't fight for this meme and I can help think that he would shoot the guys hold that flag you hugging
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.
It's not the Internet's fault. It's just the kind of place Israel is now
Bro saw the American inauguration and the intrusive thoughts kicked in 💀
Yes, you are the baddies.
Nah this is satire! This has to be satire!!!! Please someone tell me this is satire!!!!!!!!
That’s €376.10, not nearly enough imo.
That's a first time fee
And 410.57 American freedom eagles.
I would unironically love for the dollar to be discontinued and replaced with eagles.
an Eagle is a $10 coin. A $20ncoin is a double eagle.
Excellent. By the time Trump is done they'll be fit for vending machine snacks.
A double eagle weighed in at almost an ounce of solid gold. The US dollar has really gone the way of the ruble.
its around $23000 here in Victoria, Australia
Only in one state of Australia, Victoria. Worth mentioning.
oh right, my mistake. i actually live in Victoria so i originally thought it was a federal law somehow.
Nah it's all good - it's confusing because federal-level hate crime and Anti-Nazi laws came in recently also (last month). Those are all mandatory minimum prison sentences though, no fines.
They skipped over how old this person is. Somehow I think this is a teen doing dumb stuff.
Teens doing dumb stuff isn’t a hall pass. Actions have consequences. Those consequences take this into account and often are mitigated but still enforced
Yeah the kid got like a $400 fine and told not to do that again. I think that's a fair punishment for doing something really really stupid as a teenager.
I'd thrown in some community service on top, or 24 hours in jail if that's not feasible. Fines just go to the kid's parents - who also deserve to be punished tbf, based on how badly they've raised their kid to behave.

It wasn't a Nazi salute. It was a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, could be misinterpreted as a Nazi salute. I think we shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
/s
Mr. Mangione had a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture against a CEO.
🤣
A heartfelt gesture indeed. Remember everyone: Jury Nullification.

Dear god I hope eel-on-musk goes to Poland and tries that. He so deserves to find out.
Edit: clarification: I’m saying I want him to be arrested somewhere that’s not the US
I cordially invite Elon to come to Melbourne Australia and flip his favourite salute.
Its a significantly more painful $23,000 fine there, and if he does it repeatedly there's a good chance of a 12 month prison term.

P. S. If my maths is right he can do it almost 15 million times before he runs out of money, I might have to email Vic gov to ask them to review the fine to be wealth-adjusted.

I'm stunned .... again !! .... I have visited Auschwitz and it's impressive beyond words. At the entrance of the former gas chambers there is a sign asking to respect and remember those who died in there and keep silent in the chambers. Everyone did except for Israeli students. That is what brought the tears to my eyes. Betrayed and disrespected again, this time by their own.
This also mirrors my experience at Aushwitz. Israeli teenagers were generally being dicks around the site and then unrolled several large Israeli flags to take group photos with.
Can't blame the teens too much as their teachers had no problem with/promoted the behaviour.
I left the place traumatised, these kids... not so much.
