UK Jewish MP: Israel acting like Nazis in Gaza
SIR Gerald Kaufman, yesterday (Thu 15 Jan 2009) compared the actions of Israeli troops
in Gaza to the Nazis who forced his family to flee Poland.
Kaufman, a member of the Jewish Labour movement linked to Prime Minster Gordon
Brown’s ruling party, also called for an arms embargo against Israel.
Sir Gerald, who was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist, said:
"My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town
a German soldier shot her dead in her bed.
"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering
Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly
and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of
Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians."
He said the claim that many of the Palestinian victims were militants
"was the reply of the Nazi" and added: "I suppose the Jews fighting
for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants."
He accused the Israeli government of seeking "conquest" and added: "
They are not simply war criminals, they are fools."
