Anti-Semitic Sugar Packets

This is interesting:
The Simon Wiesenthal Center has asked Croatia to stop the distribution of sugar packets featuring Hitler’s image.

The Center has called on Croatian authorities to put an end to the production and distribution of sugar packets with Hitler’s image and printed anti-Semitic jokes.

The Center has issued a statement signed by its director Ephraim Zuroff, expressing its “disgust at the fact such a product could have been made at this day and age, in a country where the Holocaust was for the most part perpetrated by the local Nazi collaborators.”

Žarko Puhovski of the Croatian Helsinki Committee told B92 the most worrying aspect of the scandal was a lack of reaction in the Croatian society.
Apparently, these sugar packets have been on tables at cafes for months, and there was no public outcry at all. Glad I don't live in Croatia.

    Doesn't bode well for Croatia's new tourism industry. I hear them advertising on the radio all the time now.

    Many Europeans have an issue with the Jews. Alway have. Always will. Sad but true. We must be ever vigilant.

  6. I was in Croatia a while ago, and it was a great experience. The old shul/Jewish Museum in Dubrovnik is worth a visit.

    Croatia is the country well known for cutting Jewish throats at the river in WWII. They are no different than the Germans. Same goyishe S#!+.

    Thank You. We do not need you bloodsuckers to make our tourism flourish. We have plenty of Austrians, Germans , Expatriates of USA, Australia, South America and so many more to make us stable each summer for the next few hundred years . You do not deserve to set foot on our sacred land , but if you like you can watch videos on you tube...
