Auschwitz-Gaza

Hitler illegally occupied his neighbors, and Israel illegally occupies Palestine and parts of Syria and Lebanon. Nazi Germany was a racist state, and so is Israel with its ethnic cleansing of native Palestinian Arabs who have lived there 1300 years. In occupied Palestine there are expanding Jew-only settlements connected by Jew-only roads which serve to constrict, disconnect, and isolate the Palestinian people. Gaza is a massive Nazi-like concentration camp where 1.5 million inmates are crowded into a tiny narrow strip of land sealed off from the outside world. Israel controls the air, land, and sea walling off the prison. There has been an inhumane economic blockade for 18 months, not lifted despite Hamas cease-fires which were broken, as usual, by Israel's targeted assassinations. Now Israel is bombing and invading this captive population which has grossly inadequate food, water, and medical necessities. In the Israelis' goal of killing all those who hate them, they of course increase the hatred by infinite multiples.

Meanwhile the US is blocking a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire, just as we delayed a ceasefire in Israel's 2006 trashing of Lebanon, so as to give the Israeli murderers more time to kill and maim innocent Lebanese civilians. As professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt point out in their 2006 best-selling book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, between 1972 and 2006, the US vetoed 42 UN Security Council resolutions that were critical of Israel. It is not surprising that the rest of the world identifies us with Israel, and that there are currently world-wide demonstrations against Israel's bombing of Auschwitz.
