"The use of protests in Judea and Samaria in symbols from the days of Nazi rule is serious and illegitimate," Gantz said in a statement. "I call on the international community and the Palestinian Authority to condemn these actions, and to take action against the instigators who crossed a bright red line."
Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian also slammed the move, saying that "in using these symbols of hate, the demonstrators crossed a line. Any comparison between Nazi and Zionist ideas indicates just how ignorant the person who does such a thing really is, both historically and morally."
