@Simonjt and others, this is cut and pasted from a post by Hillel Fuld on X, 'proud Zionist/Jew...' (He posted at least 10 points but I can't copy them all and at about to go out..)
"If all the people posting about Elon Musk‘s fake Nazi salute focused on the real Nazis of our day and stood up for Israel, it would really move the needle in the propaganda war against Israel.
So let’s examine his words and actions instead of obsessing over some very awkward hand gesture (Which he should not have made.) which he’s said countless times was NOT a Nazi salute.
- Visited Auschwitz-Birkenau: In January 2024, Musk toured the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland, joining a memorial ceremony and later speaking at a conference on antisemitism, reflecting on the Holocaust's impact.
- Traveled to Israel: In November 2023, Musk visited Israel, touring a kibbutz attacked by Hamas with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and meeting with President Isaac Herzog and hostage families, showing solidarity amid conflict.
- Wore a "Bring Them Home" Dog Tag: During his Israel visit, Musk received a dog tag from a hostage’s father, which he wore publicly, including at a New York Times summit, symbolizing support for Israeli hostages."
