German Guard Arrested For Nazi Salute At Israeli Athletes A German security guard has been arrested for reportedly performing a Nazi salute towards a group of Israeli athletes who were visiting the site of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre. Sixteen athletes from Israel's European Championships squad were visiting the site in Munich on Tuesday to pay respects to their countrymen who were killed during the hostage event when the gesture, which is banned in Germany, is said to have been performed. The suspect, a 19-year-old male from Berlin, was immediately arrested and has been banned from all future European Championships events. It is understood that the visiting Israeli team did not observe the gesture. Subscribe to RT
Australia has criminalized the use of the Nazi salute and display or sell symbols linked to terrorist groups. This new law comes in response to a surge in hate and anti-Semitic incidents, coinciding with Israel’s actions in Gaza. Subscribe to RT
