Likud files police complaint over protester’s Netanyahu ‘Mein Kampf’ sign

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party files a police complaint after a protester against the government’s judicial overhaul brandished a sign of the premier with caption “Mein Kampf,” charging the placard constitutes incitement to violence.
The sign, which was displayed this morning during a rally in Tel Aviv, portrays Netanyahu ripping the Declaration of Independence in half under the words “Mein Kampf,” or “my struggle” in English, the title of Nazi German leader Adolf Hitler’s antisemitic political manifesto.
“Propaganda that displays the prime minister, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, on a background with Nazi motives gives others permission to kill him,” says a letter sent to police by a lawyer for Likud.
