Every clear-headed observer can see the parallels between Hitler's Nazis and Olmert's Zionists. Before and during the second World War, Jews suffered “persecution, harassment, stone-throwing, damage to livelihood, intimidation, spitting and scorn” and this treatment escalated further in pogroms and gas chambers.
Compare this to how Zionist settlers in Hebron are treating the Palestinians: “a Hebron settler woman hissing "whore" at her Palestinian neighbor and settler children lobbing rocks at Arab homes”.
Denunciation of the Zionists this time did not come from Hamas, Hezbollah or left-wing supporters of the Palestinians, but from a rather unlikely source: Yosef Lapid, the chairman of Yad Vashem, Israel's largest Holocaust memorial and a former Israeli minister of justice. (Aljazeera: Israel's Hebron settlers criticised)
In a weekly commentary on Israeli Radio, Lapid said that the acts of some Hebron settlers reminded him of persecution endured by Jews in his native Yugoslavia on the eve of the second world war. “I was afraid to go to school, because of the little anti-Semites who used to lay in ambush on the way and beat us up. How is that different from a Palestinian child in Hebron?”, Lapid asked, to go on “It is inconceivable for the memory of Auschwitz to warrant ignoring the fact that there are Jews among us who behave today towards Palestinians just like German, Hungarian, Polish and other anti-Semites behaved towards Jews.”
Mr Lapid, nobody has the right to deny the Holocaust to support the Palestinian people. The treatment of the Jews by the Nazis was a horrible crime, the treatment of the Palestinians by the Zionists is likewise a horrible crime. Measuring degrees of horribleness is not required. More than 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. That crime cannot be stopped anymore, it is part of history. The Holocaust of the Palestinians is ongoing. It can still be stopped, before 6 million Palestinians are dead.
Mr Lapid, open the doors of Yad Vashem to Palestinian victims of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Zionist Jews!
