Open Letter to Kathrin Meyer, Secretary-General of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance
Why is it Anti-Semitic to Compare Israel to Nazi Germany?
Sent to: info@holocaustremembrance.com
Dear Ms Meyer,
I’ve lost count of the number of genocidal statements by Israeli leaders. Statements worthy of Hitler and Himmler themselves.
Netanyahu began Gaza’s genocide by invoking the memory of Amalek
“You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.”
That memory being Samuel’s instruction to Saul to
“attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”
Or Finance Minister Smotrich lamenting that he could not starve all 2 million Gazans, even though it was the most ‘moral’ thing to do.
No-one can seriously doubt that the above sentiments are those of Nazis yet according to the intellectually bankrupt definition that you foster, to say so is ‘anti-Semitic’.
The IHRA definition of anti-Semitism has been used the world over by racists and anti-Semites (Trump, Bannon, Braverman etc) to brand criticism of Zionism and Israel as anti-Semitic.
Today, in the midst of Gaza’s Genocide, the IHRA is being used in order to shield and justify Israel’s war crimes. Your silence about what is happening in Gaza is no surprise given that the IHRA was drawn up specifically to render Israel immune from criticism. Ctd....
The last working-class hero in England.
