What The Fuck Just Happened?!

[marcmagus]

I just watched this video, in which Pamela Pilger interrupts Israeli-born American Samuel Blum while he is waxing poetic about the virtues of the Israeli health care system by shouting "Heil Hitler!". [I'd like to note that in writing that I completely balked after the opening quotation mark and had to pause for a bit before I was able to force myself to type the words.]

This is an upsetting video, please be warned.

What I would like somebody, anybody, to please explain to me is what this woman¹ thinks she's conveying by saying that? I'm able to glean that she considers herself pro-Israel (through both her words and her choice of wardrobe; as has been pointed out, that's an IDF² T-shirt), that she believes President Obama to be strongly anti-Israel, and that she believes a man as pro-Israel as Mr. Blum should therefore not be saying anything even potentially supportive of President Obama. Was her inappropriate interjection (and her subsequent inappropriate non-consensual physical contact) merely intended as an attention grab so she could deliver her message (something about Obama being bad and health care reform destroying America by encouraging illegal immigration, if I got it right)?

Seriously, what was it supposed to mean? Because beyond being upset and appalled, I'm bewildered.

1: Yes, I am using honorifics for everybody else I refer to and denying them to Pamela Pilger. I trust the content of what I have to say makes it clear that this is a conscious choice to deny her respect because of her actions, not because of her gender. I hope my record supports the contention that I do not preferentially use honorifics differentially based on the gender of the person I'm referring to, though I'm happy to be called on it elsewhere if I do.
