Members of a Middle East-based scouting group have converted the traditional scouting salute into a replica of the Sieg Heil salute notorious for its use by Nazi adherents, a new report reveals.
It is the Palestinian Media Watch that captured the video, and posted it to see:
The individuals are at an event organized by the Palestinian Scout Association and the Fatah Movement Scout Office. It happened recently in the Maroun Al-Ras area on the border with Israel.
In fact, President Trump had facilitated several unprecedented peace accords between Israel and some of its Arab neighbors while he was in office, calling them the Abraham Accords.
He did this essentially by ignoring the demands of the Palestinian activists, who have insisted on the destruction of Israel as key to their Middle East peace solution, and negotiating directly with other nations.
It's not the only appearance of the Nazi sign in the Middle East. Hezbollah fighters also have been known to use it.

The Roman salute was used for years before the Nazis laid claim to it. Around the end of the 19th Century it was used here to salute the flag. Mussolini used it before Hitler. Lets face it, it was great theater stuff that added pizzazz to the propaganda news reels. It draws attention to a cause, and gets people all riled up, as it is meant to.
Hmmmm. Do we have clips of pantyfa using it as well? On the other hand, we need to be worrying about: A) White Suprema-cysts or B) the Lamnda variant of CV-19. (But, wait until they get a load of the Omega variant.) :-}
The Bellamy salute was used by American kids saluting the American flag until the end of 1942
That’s true. Once, my late mother, God rest her soul, and I were watching an old movie where the kids stood up in class to say the Pledge and used what looked like to me Nazi hand salutes. When I expressed surprise at this, she said when she was a schoolgirl in the late 30’s—early 40’s, that’s how it was done here in the US.
The question I have is: Have the Boy Scouts in that area always used that salute (and if so, it may just be tradition) or did they recently start doing it, which, given its now longstanding association with Nazism, be more problematic.
I’m a bit of a history buff.
More and more I think WW1-2 were more about Muz than Germany.
It was the Grand Mufti who presented the idea of the Final Solution to Hitler’s staff.
