Using The Word “Nazi” May Soon Become a Criminal Offence
by Many people living in Israel are supporting the new legislation which would make the term “Nazi” a criminal offence in Israel.
Ultra-orthodox Jews, who make up little more than 10% of the total population in Israel are looking toward new legislation that will make the term ‘Nazi’, and any other symbols related to it and the Holocaust a criminality.
Around six million Jews were killed in the Holoucaust, led by Nazi Germany at the time, and currently of which some 200,000 survivors are still living in Israel.
If the legislation does go ahead, it would mean that if anyone is found to be using the term ‘Nazi’ or symbols related to the Holocaust – when not in a teaching principle – will be sentenced for up to 6 months in jail and a fine of $25,000.
There has been much critisism over ultra-orthodox Jews in recent weeks however, as many feel that they attempt to impose their strict beliefs upon other people and religions.
