| Summary / Abstract (Note) | I n A ugust 2006, during the political tension at the time of the planned unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, a group of settlers in Gaza and the West Bank attached orange stars to their sleeves that were reminiscent of the â??Yellow Starâ? Jews were forced to wear in countries under Nazi domination. A stormy reaction erupted among Israelis from all walks of life, including politicians from both right and left. The wall-to-wall condemnation maintained this was an act demeaning to the memory of the Holocaust. By donning the orange star the, settlers presented themselves as victims and the government as perpetrators, using one of the symbols of Jewish subjugation to Nazi oppression. The heated debate convinced the settlers to retreat from this demonstrative act. |
