Jesus, it’s a Nazi salute. And they are falling all over themselves to be more brazen. If Americans continue to ignore this, we really don’t deserve a country.

Just as a general rule, not taking moral or political direction from people or orgs who were silent about a genocide they're helping fund. That's all.
