After the 2006 siege on Gaza, Auschwitz survivor Hajo Meyer warned:
“What is happening in Gaza is a slow-motion genocide. At first the Nazis put us in ghettos, then they moved us to work camps and concentration camps. The final solution came later in their efforts. It is painful to witness the parallels I observe between my own experience in Germany and those suffered by Palestinians today.”“The various forms of collective punishment visited upon the Palestinian people – coerced ghettoization behind a ‘security wall’; the bulldozing of homes and destruction of fields; the bombing of schools, mosques, and government buildings; an economic blockade that deprives people of the water, food, medicine, education and the basic necessities for dignified survival – force me to recall the deprivations and humiliations that I experienced in my youth. This century-long process of oppression means unimaginable suffering for Palestinians.”
Gaza is a concentration camp and rapidly becoming a death camp. Gas chambers and firing lines have been replaced with bombs, tanks, and white phosphorous. We say never again for anyone.

The only reason the younger generation believes the blatant disinformation and propaganda being shoved down their throats is their incredible ignorance of history.
Calling this conflict a genocide, a massacre, a holocaust, is disgustingly ignorant.
Being completely incapable of holding Palestinians accountable for voting and supporting Hamas is despicable.
Being incapable of holding Hamas, the governing entity of Gaza, accountable for the war they started and the suffering their citizens now experience thanks to their actions is despicable.
patrilineal raised secular half-Jewish culture is never feeling Jewish enough until you realize that you'd be Jewish enough to get sent to a concentration camp. And if you're Jewish enough for the antisemites, why the hell can't you be Jewish enough for yourself and for a community?!

The same country who had their representatives wear the yellow star of david while advocating for their right to "self defense," uses the same methods Hitler imposed on them.
They say "never again" unless they're bombing Palestinians. Genocide is genocide, no matter who perpetrates it.
"This concentration camp is now being turned into an extermination camp." Journalist Dan Cohen speaks to Al Jazeera about the reality of Palestinians living in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The genocide is going on.
They are killing all Palestinians.
