Israel angered over World Bank man's remark
(Reuters, April 12, 1999)
JERUSALEM - Israel on Monday said it had filed a complaint with
the World Bank over an alleged comparison that the bank's
representative in the West Bank and Gaza Strip made between
Israeli troops and Nazi "brown shirts."
The World Bank's West Bank and Gaza mission apologised in a
statement for what it called a "heated and inappropriate exchange
in a highly charged, end-of-the-night, private conversation"
between the official, American Joseph Saba, and an Israeli
soldier.
"We wish to state clearly that no offence to the IDF (Israel
Defence Forces) or Israel was or is intended," the World Bank
statement said.
A spokesman for Israel's coordinator of activities in the West
Bank and Gaza Strip confirmed a report in the Jerusalem Post
newspaper over the telephone exchange between Saba and the soldier
at an Israeli checkpoint. Saba called the soldier to inquire about
a transit permit for one of his workers, a Palestinian. When the
soldier said the worker would have to pick up the permit in
person, Saba said Israel was treating Palestinians like dogs, the
newspaper said.
"Would you like your people to be treated like this? Next thing
you'll be telling me is that you're wearing a brown shirt," the
newspaper quoted Saba as saying.
The brown shirts were the infamous Sturmabteilung, or storm
troops, the private army of the German Nazi Party who derived
their name from the colour of their uniform.
Israel marks Holocaust remembrance on Tuesday in an annual day of
mourning for the six million Jews exterminated by Nazi Germany
during World War Two.
The complaint, filed to the World Bank by Israel's coordinator of
activities in the West Bank and Gaza Yaacov Orr, described the
comments as grave.
"The coordinator pointed out that he considers the incident very
serious and that it would be difficult for him to work with him
(Saba) in the future," said Orr's spokesman, Shlomo Dror.
The World Bank statement said Saba had understood the checkpoint
incident to be "ureasonable harassment of a Bank employee not in
line with the usual helpful attitude of IDF liaison staff."
It said it looked forward to a constructive relationship with the
Israeli army in the future.
"When a Jew, in America or in South Africa, talks to
his Jewish companions about 'our' government, he means the
government of Israel."
