The Jewish state learned that it can commit its own Holocaust in Gaza and deny that it exists.
The Israel lobby is attempting to indoctrinate Americans that the context for the October 7 attack is the Holocaust. This is a misrepresentation. The Palestinians had nothing to do with the Holocaust.
The horror of the past has returned in a new guise, and the comparison of the Jewish ghetto under Nazism with the Gaza ghetto under Israel’s current fascistic authority must cease to be sacrilegious.
My grandparents’ story of surviving the Holocaust taught me what genocide is, and it is how I know to condemn what Israel is doing to Gaza right now. How dare Israel exploit my family’s suffering to try to justify its genocide in Gaza.
Israel and its supporters are engaging in Holocaust revisionism to justify its genocidal attack on Gaza.
Phil Weiss speaks to Tony Greenstein about his new book, “Zionism During the Holocaust: The Weaponization of Memory in the Service of State and Nation”.
I met Yair Lapid when I was an adolescent Zionist. I now recognize that Zionism has only served to uphold the basic tenets of antisemitism — that Jews do not belong in the world.
Western support for Israel is explained away by shared interests and realpolitik, but this elides an underlying anti-Palestinianism that motivates pro-Israel bias.
Many older Jews still carry scars of the Nazi Holocaust that live on in the form of guilt, victimhood and fear of another genocide. They must protect Israel for they hear, “without Israel there would be no safe Jews.” These fears are exported within the context of Zionist racist ideology.
