I say this as a holocaust Survivor that the genocide in Gaza,
0:05
is not happening in my name and in our name.
0:09
The way that the Israeli government is using the memory of the Holocaust
0:15
in order to justify what they're doing to the Gazans is a complete insult
0:20
to the memory of the Holocaust it's an outrage.
0:23
When I saw the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations
0:27
putting on a yellow star it was stomach turning.
0:30
Somebody who had to wear a yellow star like myself
0:33
and my entire family I'm insulted by that.
0:37
What distinguishes the Jewish Holocaust is its industrial scale
0:43
and industrial methods being applied.
0:46
And what has been happening to Gaza is similar in that
0:50
the scale of the bombing and the indiscriminate nature of the bombing
0:54
the complete lack of care about children and women
0:58
being the majority of the victims
1:00
amounts to Industrial scale of genocide.
1:03
The painting of the Palestinian people as worthless almost 'animal like'
1:08
by the description of some of the leaders that dehumanisation
1:12
enables the population of Israel to tolerate what's going on.
1:18
The way that Palestinian people who were arrested were treated
1:22
having to take their clothes off,
1:24
and parading them it's part of the humiliation.
1:27
In the West Bank the way the checkpoints are organised
1:30
the way you are forced to wait for hours for no reason
1:34
in order to go to school or go to work etc
1:38
all this amounted to humiliation similar to to what we experienced.
1:43
The sort of determination and consistency with which they
1:47
are setting about to destroy the whole of Gaza is very similar
1:53
to the kind of cruelty and determination of the fascist regimes.
1:58
Some of the actions of the Nazi state in dehumanising
2:03
and completely cruel large scale killings etc, if it is repeated
2:08
I don't see why you couldn't make the parallel it can only be helpful
2:12
in understanding what's going on to make the parallel
2:15
I don't think there should be any taboo against that.
2:18
I think I particularly find painful to see the children because I remember
2:24
after the war you know we played in The Ruins like they do now but particularly of their losses
2:30
to suddenly lose parents and siblings and so on you know there was a boy in the same rescue
2:38
homes where I was he was traveling on a tram with his parents this boy moved to the front
2:44
to stand behind the tram driver because he was interested in how he was working the levers and
2:50
so on at the next stop an aroc cross raiding party came on and asked for papers and the parents were
2:56
identified as Jews and arrested straight away the son was separated at the front and they
3:02
had to make a an immediate decision whether to say something to him and involve him or
3:09
let him perhaps escape the net and that's what they decided so they were taken down from the
3:16
tram and sent to aitz they never said goodbye to their son and they perished in in aitz so
3:22
that was the end of the family now can you imagine the psychological state of that boy
3:30
who suddenly found himself on his own in this way not saying goodbye to his parents and I
3:37
think this kind of thing this separation and and the sense of complete inability to intervene or
3:45
in any way exert any kind of positive influence on events this kind of separation and and and
3:54
destruction of families in this manner is again something that repeats in Gaza now I [Music]
4:09
think I heard that some families divide the children and leave some with one branch and
4:24
and some with the other so that at least somebody should survive from the family
4:31
there's an echo ex of the same experience what happened to the Jewish people the guest chamers
4:38
and the industrial scale of extermination and also the sort of invisible aspects the incredible
4:48
emotional pain cause is so horrendous taken together that it seems to me inconceivable that
4:57
it should be repeated anywhere in the world that is why we say not in our name and never again and
5:04
this is why I was so totally shocked particularly by those who I know have gone through the same
5:13
themselves repeating it on on on another people I take as a extreme example one of my cousins late
5:21
cousin she died some years ago who was a young girl taken to aitz from Transylvania because she
5:28
was young and strong she was was put to work and she worked in a warehouse sorting clothes and one
5:34
day she was sorting her parents' clothes meaning that they had already been taken to the guest
5:42
chamber I think it's difficult to understand the emotional experience of doing of being in that
5:50
situation yet she came back to Israel and first to Romania and then Israel and she was as racist as
6:00
the rest of them against the Palestinians now how it's beyond understanding how you can um do that
6:11
and and with the background that she had I think this is to do with the extreme propaganda and the
6:17
dehumanization Zionism was a very unfortunate and sad development for the Jewish people it broke
6:28
a much longer Trad of always being on the side of the oppressed not the oppressor and and the
6:35
charitable nature of the Judaism and the humanity that they Advocate into a kind of exceptionalism
6:44
and nationalism everything is the je not the single peace for other people only for us and
6:50
in Practical terms Impossible Project of taking over another people's country which led to All
6:56
the Troubles that followed also I agree with my cousin late cousin very bright guy who said well
7:03
if we claim that there is a people who tend to be the um victims of other people's discrimination
7:12
Etc then the last thing you want to do is to collect them up into one place as a Target and
7:19
I think he was right and I think current events prove it Zionism started to Proclaim that the only
7:27
safe place for Jews is in Israel and what we are seeing today is the worst the most dangerous place
7:34
for Jews is Israel quite a number of my family from Romania ended up in Israel so when I visited
7:44
them that was my first brush with Zionism I was completely shocked how despite their experiences
7:52
during the Holocaust they were um racist basically against the Palestinians and couldn't understand
8:01
it and I can't understand it to this day fully how that could happen but they were it was not
8:07
denying it and I found that atmosphere of racism was prevailing genely in Israel and and I turned
8:19
strongly against that later on I saw the repeated brutality of action against Palestinians and it
8:27
became more and more horrifying and the very cruel attack on Gaza was the ultimate and the use of the
8:34
Holocaust background as a cover for all this was just unbearable I mean it was criminal I I felt
8:44
and this is when I became more active in trying to protest today's marches are having a very hopeful
8:50
aspect it is so large so persistent so Global that eventually the Western leadership which are trying
8:57
to deny what is actually going going on will be forced to face up to it and I think we are not
9:03
far from that there was no parallel to that in the Jewish Holocaust experience in fact there
9:09
was great abandonment there were some very few very brave people who risk everything to be on
9:18
the right side of history and to rescue as as as much as possible but the majority of people
9:26
were too afraid and look the other way I felt it completely incomprehensible really how you
9:32
can do anything but totally condemn quite clear genocide and anybody who doesn't do that it will
9:40
be Revisited on him or her to to look back on to be on the wrong side of history and and seriously
9:51
guilty and that goes for the UK government to Kama and the shadow cabinet and some of the church
9:57
leaders the chief rabbi completely identifies with Israel and Zionism I think it's important to stand
10:04
up against this conflation that is propagated between jewishness and Zionism if you do not stand
10:12
up and criticize it and divorce you have from it then it sort of bches all Jews basically and
10:21
and I think it's essential to show that uh from a point of view of the morale of the people that is
10:29
being victimized in the name of the Jewish people that this is not supported universally by Jewish
10:35
people at all but it's simply the Zionist and Israeli establishment which does it which are not
10:43
too far from fascistic attitudes I think fascism thrives on indifference and and the general public
10:53
being intimidated or looking the other way out of self-preservation a and comfort and it's essential
11:02
that is not practiced that a certain degree of risk even taken and always making a stand against
11:09
Injustice the time will come and history will judge these events if you are just indifferent
11:17
if you do not take a stand you acquire um degree of guilt without any doubt and it's important that
11:26
when that judge judgment comes you are found to be on the right side of history that you had not been
11:34
for sake of comfort and advancement or whatever you had not been inactive you have to assert
11:43
yourself against the evils around you knowing how the mass media ignores the most important
11:53
events it makes it incredibly important to have forums like double news to bring a much more

@FreedomBound23 I went looking. He is mentioned out on the net. Here's an excerpt from an article by The Guardian regarding London protests:
Stephen Kapos, an 87-year-old from Budapest who lost most of his family in the Holocaust, was in the centre as they walked up Whitehall.
“We want to stress our solidarity with the Palestinian people,” he said, adding that memories of the Holocaust should not be used as cover for Israel’s actions in Gaza. “The right wing has been claiming that there are no-go areas of London for Jews. We want to prove that’s wrong – we are very welcome here.”

It's horrific that the majority let's & causes the harming & worse of innocent & helpless children, of all people, to continue! And it's also horrific that the majority rejects and/or ignores this ugly truth as well!
There is no defence against the harmed & harmful majority! And there isn't even a small group of people, among billions, who is calling on the majority to stop perpetuating harm & worse, for an actual reasonable way of life that everyone actually needs - especially innocent & helpless children!

Facts speak louder than words
and to me out with a total of 16M Jews in the world:
30% reside in Israel
51% in America
1% in Germany and
1% in my home country 🇦🇺 (of 26million) which means 1 in every 6 people in Australia is Jewish ? (but not in poor suburbs or vastly spread)

For too long Israelis have screamed "Antisemitism" at the least criticism of their barbarity. They behaved as though they had a monopoly on persecution and the Holocaust was their get-out-of-jail-free card.

My grandfather fought against nazis in WW2 and we are all muslims in our family.
My grandmother protected 12 jews in her house for a long time when nazis invaded Belarus. It's heartbreaking to see that majority of the jewish people have forgot how helpless and needy they was. Later somebody informed nazis about my grandmothers house and they were all shot in front of her house. She passed at the age of 97 and until that day, she cried over that memory and always told me to never hate anybody because we are all from the same creator.

I'm so sad for your grandmothers loss. I find it all incomprehensible, and my heart bleeds for all the people and children in Gaza. I always think about the little girl of 6 yrs who was in the car with her parents when they were hit by the IDF and her parents were killed. She called the ambulance service, and they told her they were coming to get her. When they arrived, the IDF killed the ambulance men and also this little girl. I will carry this for the rest of my life. I can't imagine what these Palestinians are going through.
