Yesterday, Chairman of the Palestinian Authority M

Yesterday, Chairman of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin. During a joint press conference, Abbas accused Israel of committing "50 Holocausts" against the Palestinian people. His statement was made in the context of a question posed to him about whether he would consider apologising to Israel and Germany to mark 50 years since the Munich Olympic massacre where a terrorists from the Palestinian group Black September brutally murdered eleven Israelis and a German policeman in the Olympic Village. Abbas told reporters, "If we want to go over the past, go ahead... I have 50 slaughters that Israel committed... 50 massacres, 50 slaughters, 50 Holocausts.

German Chancellor Scholz was criticised for remaining silent rather than pushing back. Today he released a statement saying, "I am disgusted by the outrageous remarks made by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. For us Germans in particular, any relativization of the singularity of the Holocaust is intolerable and unacceptable. I condemn any attempt to deny the crimes of the Holocaust."

Israeli PM Yair Lapid said, "Mahmoud Abbas accusing Israel of having committed "50 Holocausts" while standing on German soil is not only a moral disgrace, but a monstrous lie.

Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, including one and a half million Jewish children.

History will never forgive him."

What do you think? Was it too little too late from Chancellor Sholz or should he have spoken up immediately?

💔💔 Staff Sergeant Natan Fitoussi, aged 20 fr

💔💔 Staff Sergeant Natan Fitoussi, aged 20 from Netanya, is the Israeli soldier killed by friendly fire last night.

Ynet reports: The military said the incident is being investigated. "At about 10:30pm IDF soldiers reported hearing gunfire near their location. At first it was believed the shooting originated from Palestinian sources, and a large reinforcement force was dispatched to the scene," IDF's spokesperson said.

The preliminary investigation showed the victim left his post for a brief period, and was mistaken for an intruder by a fellow soldier upon his return. As a result, he was shot twice.

So sad.

We send our deepest condolences to his family. May his memory be forever blessed.

יהי זכרו ברוך

Tag Meir is a coalition of over 50 organisations dedicated to combating extremists within Israeli society. Tag Meir got in touch after ZFA President Jeremy Leibler and Youth Affairs Chair Chaya Herszberg wrote an opinion piece in the Australian Jewish News denouncing the chauvistic characteristics of the ‘Flag March’, that provocatively marched through the Arab sections of the Old City.

Tag Meir was in the Old City that day, handing out flowers instead of insults, and they got in touch with the ZFA after they saw our op-ed.

The ZFA invited Tag Meir head Gadi Gvaryahu to speak to our Executive meeting about his organisation and its activities.

Dr Gvaryahu spoke about his visits with Christian, Jewish and Muslim victims of violent extremism, his concerns than an extremist Israeli party appears likely to obtain ten percent of the vote in the upcoming election, and the peace-building efforts that Tag Meir facilitates between Israeli and Palestinian communities.
