In parliament, Polish MP calls Israel ‘new Third Reich,’ waves Israeli flag with swastika |
Far-right Polish lawmaker Konrad Berkowicz sparked outrage Tuesday by calling Israel the “new Third Reich” and displaying an altered Israeli flag bearing a swastika during a speech in parliament.
Israel slammed his actions as “antisemitic horror.”
Speaking hours before the annual March of the Living at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Berkowicz alleged that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza and repeated unverified claims about the use of phosphorus munitions against civilians.
“Israel is in the process of committing a genocide of exceptional cruelty before our very eyes,” Berkowicz told lawmakers, comparing the country to a “new Third Reich.”
He also compared the number of children killed in Gaza to the war in Ukraine and described graphic scenes of suffering.
Berkowicz, a member of the far-right nationalist Konfederacja (Confederation) opposition party, then brandished a paper flag, with the Nazi symbol replacing the Star of David at its center.
It’s real. This happened. On Holocaust Remembrance Day. Polish MP Konrad Berkowicz compares Israel’s defensive war to the Third Reich and displays an Israeli flag with a swastika.
