'Posters depicting police commander as Hitler appalling'

Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch outraged by online posters of Jerusalem District Police commander in Nazi uniform

"Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch expressed his shock Tuesday over the release of images depicting Jerusalem District Police Commander Niso Shaham as Adolf Hitler.

The posters were published online on Monday by unknown users, presumably as part of the haredi protest over what some religious elements called the "community's persecution."

Aharonovitch said that the police have several leads in the investigation and vowed that the perpetrator would be caught: "It's inconceivable that such heinous acts would be carried out in the Jewish state."

One of the posters depicts Shaham wearing a Nazi uniform with a caption reading "Freshly imported from Berlin" and "Adolf Niso Shaham is a murderer." Additional text expressed hope that Shaham meet the same fate as Hitler."

New police Commissioner Yohanan Danino promoted top police officer Major General Niso Shaham on Tuesday to serve as Jerusalem's District commander, despite his severe comments against the settlers during the Gaza disengagement in 2005.

Then Negev Region Commander, Shaham called right-wing demonstrators at Kfar Maimon "shits" and said he hoped they burn. The comment was recorded by a journalist just an hour after his ordering the halting of demonstrators gathered in the southern town by any means possible.
