Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of Nazi
genocide unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza
As Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the
Nazi genocide we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in
Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine.
We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the
funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for
using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation.
Genocide begins with the silence of the world.
Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel’s abuse of
our history in these pages to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s
wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2,000
Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify
bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can
justify depriving people of electricity and water.
We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to
bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing
genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the
siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic,
cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER
AGAIN FOR ANYONE!
