Is Justin Bieber too late to apologize for his Nazi salute?

Justin Bieber appears to have greeted Finland's, imminent NATO membership with a sieg heil. The Nazi greeting.

We don't know why Bieber performed a, military-style march across the stage with one arm, raised at a 45-degree angle at a Tuesday concert in Helsinki, but it wasn't a statement on, Finland's history with Nazi Germany during World War II. Bieber's high-kneed stroll has garnered social media, comparisons to the straight-legged, calisthenically demanding Nazi goose step.

Stomp?

Bieber's agents in Israel said this was part of a, "stomp" routine he's performed before, and has nothing to do with Jews. We're not sure why this dance, has gone unnoticed until now; perhaps Bieber's arm wasn't consistently, angled in prior footage. It's unusual choreography, no matter how frequently he's done it.

Bieber... We've watched you grow, yet you haven't changed much. In the past, the preteen idol could have pleaded, doe-eyed youth when challenged, with his N-bomb use and hope that Anne Frank, would have been a "belieber." It's tougher to pardon a, 28-year-old who's been public for almost a decade.

Ineptness,

As someone who had a Bieber cutout in my college dorm, and attended an early screening of "Never Say Never," I'm frustrated by his sophomoric behavior. Bieber isn't antisemitic, but he has lousy judgment.

Bieber, who recently endured facial paralysis and, lashed out Hillsong's poisonous atmosphere, might have made a subtle comeback. His bizarre pantomime is even, more perplexing given that, on Sunday, he said, "We know racism is wicked, it's wrong." You and I can make a difference by, standing with our brothers and sisters.

These contradictory messages can only be, explained by ignoring that Nazis represent vile racism. Or unawareness that these, "dancing motions" resemble "Triumph of the Will",

Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the Council of European Rabbis, told the Times of Israel that Bieber "slapped the faces, of millions of Jews across the world", with his "sieg heil" gesture.

Bieber will likely attend the Simon Wiesenthal Center, to learn that Nazis were racist and wicked. Knowing how eager "Despacito" artist, is to steal from various cultures, maybe he'll perform teshuva. Fall could bring a Kol Nidre single.
