Swiss Political Party Ad Features Jewish Doll With an Arrow in Its Head

The Jewish community in Switzerland is outraged after an ad for a Swiss national independence day party featured a bizarre image: A doll of a man who is wearing a yarmulke. The man, which is overtly Jewish, also has the Israeli flag painted on him and…an arrow pierced threw his head.
The image of what appears to be a dead Jew has sparked quite a bit of anger. Swiss reports claim that the GNC, a local anti-Semitic and anti-Israel group is behind the creation and dissemination of the ad. YNetNews.com has more:
“This is a call for the murder of Jews,” said Jonah Gurfinkel. Sabine Simkhovitch-Dreyfus, deputy director of the Jewish community federation said: “A red line has been crossed.
GNC member claimed the ad was directed against the Israeli government, but Dreyfus rejected his claims saying, “Sadly the arrow on the forehead does not leave a shadow of a doubt.” Jewish groups are now considering a lawsuit against the GNC.
In response, Jewish groups may consider a lawsuit.

Posted on July 1, 2011 at 6:24pmI am just continually shocked by all the anti-semantic acts both here in the US and through Europe. Its like a large percentage of the world has totally forgotten what in the 1940′s and history period. More over, the amount of so many people that are burying their heads and allowing such vocal outcries be accepted. Christian denominations taking such stands here in the states, the Democratic party is doing it’s best to eliminate GOD and religion from the public and in the same time note they are the party of faith and tolerance.
Its sad that history repeats itself, especially when it comes to such calls for ethnic cleansing. I truly worry for those that are targeted through out the world by parties of such hatred. Such acts should be so clear to see but so many are blinded by distraction and apathy.
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s hearts have become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts’

Second what did the Swiss bankers do for the Nazi looters who took Jewish gold and valuables from European Jews. It disgusts me how easily the human animal forgets such HUGE events in human history.

Posted on July 1, 2011 at 10:38pmYou want to ban hate speech?Hypocrite- pots calling the kettle black.The only hate speech you want to ban is any oppostion to Israeli illigal occupation of palestinians and any narrative of the creation of israel that exposes the false narrative of their“ just noble history and cause” with the accurate narrative of ethnic cleansing and a racist land grab facilitated back when the UN was a colonial white mans clubs serving western interests.Once the israeli state exists it is unfair and again hypocritical to denouce crriticism or opposition to that state-even if in crass vulgar terrms as this depiction is-as more anti-semitism.a state opens itself up to critisim and one that illigally occupies others and fllauts its mandate to return to legal 67 borders as it ethnicaly cleanses non Jews who are native to that land to maake way for Jews from elsewhere-is racist and deserves to be condemned As its nazi like policy of collective punishment and mass murder of civilians to keep ccontrol of their illigally occupiued land..Thin skinned hypocrites who have nothing but vile things to say and depict about countries and indeed whole peoples[muslims] that you don’t like.

This saddens me, too — much like the hate speech directed at Muslims, Jews, blacks, gays, and our constitutionally and democratically elected president and his family saddens me.
It also saddens me that many of those who post here and have posted anti-Semitic remarks in the past are now “standing for Israel” because some huckster is telling them to. You all realize that most Israelis are Jewish, right?
Oh, and preemptively: I have taught Holocaust studies for many, many years and I have ALWAYS “stood with Israel” — long before some rodeo clown framed it as “patriotic”.

Posted on July 1, 2011 at 6:07pmThe Swiss Are NOT tolerant. They have a long history of anti-Semitism. During WWII the Swiss collaborated with the Hitler’s German Nazi Reich. They laundered money for the Nazi’s, converted gold bullion to various currencies in order to fund Hitler’s war effort. After the Nazi regime was defeated, Jewish survivors of the holocaust and their heirs were unable to retrieve their money from their Swiss bank accounts due to a concerted effort by Swiss bank and Government officials. It was thru the efforts of Senate Finance Committee Chairman Alfonse D’Amato in the 1980′s-1990′s that the Jewish survivors of the holocaust and their heirs received some justice.

Posted on July 1, 2011 at 6:21pmYou are correct. ALL OF EUROPE is to one degree or another anti-jewish!! Why do you think the european jews looked to their traditional homeland as a sanctuary instead of going back to their “homes” in France, and Germany, and Belgium and Holland, and Norway, and Italy??? THEY WERE HATED WHEREVER THEY WENT IN EUROPE!!
I only hope that one day when space travel is much more advanced then it is now, the few remaining jews can find a place of their own where NOBODY will be able to find them and attack them again!

Well then, I hope for “God’s name sake” that the Jews who enjoy his benevolence don’t do anything that might embarass their almighty sponsor like encourage the rest of “mankind” to do things like engage promiscuous sexual behavior, or in homosexual behavior, or to make pornography more accessible, or work to change divorce laws in other countries to make divorce easier, or encourage abortions, or …hey wait a second! Doesn’t sound like the Jews are doing a very good job of “revealing His truths” among “mankind” today. Go ahead, deny what I am saying. Then you will confirm to us all that you are either a liar or a fool.
