In 2010, I visited the Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz and Dachau, and saw first hand how Hitler and his Reich attempted to exterminate all those who opposed them (Jews, socialists, gypsies, etc.). I was extremely fortunate to meet some of the last surviving Jewish prisoners of Auschwitz, and was mesmerized by their harrowing tales. They told us how the Nazis had dehumanized the Jews so that it was then possible to commit acts of genocide against them. I found these survivors to be brave and fearless, and I always felt that they would not support the current policies of Israel against the Palestinians. In a previous posting a few weeks ago, I mentioned how Israel is following some of the very same tactics that Nazi Germany did, in dehumanizing Palestinians. I was extremely elated to read, therefore, that over 300 Holocaust survivors from around the world have signed a petition AGAINST Israel, saying: We are alarmed by the extreme, racist dehumanization of Palestinians in Israeli society, which has reached a fever-pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide of Palestinians and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia....“Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! Here is the entire letter: ijsn.net/gaza/survivors-and-descendants-letter/ Not surprisingly, this letter is not receiving as much coverage as it deserves. Please spread it far and wide amongst your colleagues and friends. Lastly, Muslims, realize that Jews are NOT your enemy - Zionism is. These are Jewish survivors criticizing Israel, and their voice is the most effective imaginable in such criticism.
