A recent European study has found that a significant share of people in Central and Eastern Europe believe Israel’s actions against Palestinians are similar to those of Nazi Germany against Jews, with Poland recording the highest level of agreement.

According to the study, published by the UNESCO Chair for interdisciplinary research on antisemitism at the University of Warsaw, 45 per cent of Polish respondents agreed with the statement that “Israel’s actions against Palestinians are no different from the Nazis’ treatment of Jews”. Only 18.7 per cent disagreed, while 36.2 per cent said they had no clear opinion.

The research, conducted by specialists in Holocaust studies and prejudice from universities across Eastern Europe, also showed similar trends in other countries. In Slovakia, 42.7 per cent agreed with the comparison, compared with 16.2 per cent who disagreed. In Austria, 41.3 per cent supported the view, while 25.6 per cent opposed it.

In Germany, 40.5 per cent of respondents made the comparison, compared with 26.3 per cent who rejected it. The Czech Republic recorded 32.8 per cent in agreement and 29 per cent in opposition. Hungary had the lowest level of support for the comparison at 29.9 per cent, while 27.4 per cent disagreed.

The study comes days after a controversial incident in the Polish parliament, where far-right MP Konrad Berkowicz raised an Israeli flag marked with a swastika, a symbol associated with Nazism.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

Oscar winning Spanish actor Javier Bardem condemned the Israeli army for adopting the Nazi “logic of terror and dehumanization” against Palestinians, Anadolu reports.

Bardem shared a video on the US social media company Instagram’s platform showing an Israeli sniper shooting a Palestinian for fun and said: “The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) are NAZIS.”

In the caption, he compared the act to scenes from the movie Schindler’s List, invoking the image of Nazi officer Amon Goth, who he said “embodied the banality of evil and the impunity of cruelty within an oppressive military apparatus.”

“Today, that same logic of terror and dehumanization is what the IDF applies against the Palestinian people,” he added.

The video first circulated online in 2018 and is believed to be related to an incident that took place in December 2017, when the Israeli sniper shot and injured a man in his leg.

Bardem is known for his criticism of Israeli attacks on Gaza, as he previously denounced the Israeli government for committing “crimes against humanity” in the Gaza Strip and urged the international community to hold those responsible to account.

A joint investigation by The Guardian, Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call revealed Thursday that five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip are civilians, according to the Israeli military’s own data.

Israel has killed more than 62,100 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave and led to food shortages and deaths from starvation.
