Minister of Public Security Yitzchak Aharonovich has ordered police to investigate photos depicting President Reuven Rivlin and Finance Minister Yair Lapid in German SS uniforms. Also depicted in the Nazi uniforms are Minister of Justice Tzipi Livni, and Police Chief Yochanan Danino. Aharonovich instructed Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein to order the investigation immediately.
Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein condemned the photos, warning the “incitement has entered a minefield as we unfortunately saw during the Disengagement and the attack against the Israeli Arab school in Jerusalem. We must all join hands to condemn such actions and to extinguish the fire before it consumes us”.
The photos appeared on Facebook.

Wow, some pics look so real
Purely DISGUSTING!!!
That is ridiculous.
In many parts of Europe, it is illegal to publish pictures containing Nazi symbols – even if they have not been published for anti-semitic purposes. Many people have been prosecuted.
Let’s hope a harsh line can be taken here.
It may be legal to portray these images in America – though it is nonetheless highly distasteful.
With all respect, do we really need to see these pics on YWN?
“incitement has entered a minefield”. Funny. Only when frustrated people are jews, (not arabs) is this incitement … You can antagonize them, incite against the orthodox, yet you can’t face the song. Just like the UN. Livni, you as a liberal left swinger,, you should stop the incitement coming from your lips! When you see it from lapid ym”sh, you understand it. Now your true colors were revealed. You are a hypocrite!
Sickos
Irony
In Lapid’s case,it fits so snug
