Israel Commits Genocide against Palestinians and Betrays Memory of Jewish Holocaust
NOBEL LAUREATES, 4 Aug 2025

30 Jul 2025 – Many years ago, I visited the Auschwitz concentration camp and in tears asked myself, ‘How could the horror of this holocaust be allowed to happen?’ I ask the same question about the Gaza holocaust by Israel.
Israel is carrying out an ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people in Gaza, a cruel and diabolical genocide, and the world sends money, weapons and political cover to Israel, enabling its madness and illegality to continue.
Israel has betrayed the memory of the Jewish holocaust and its victims whose lives were sacred, precious and loved. Palestinian lives are sacred too, each one precious, and Palestinians love their children too.
In Gaza, thousands of Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been massacred by Israeli Zionism. They are being starved and deprived of basic human needs and rights such as food and water, as Israel breaks every international law on the books.
The state of Israel denies it is carrying out an illegal occupation, apartheid system, and siege. This must end immediately. It could be stopped by a mass mobilisation of Israelis demanding an end to the atrocities and that their government open all crossings into Gaza allowing the United Nations to distribute aid and food to the people.
Do not allow the children to continue to suffer and die – remember your humanity!
