Over 300 Holocaust survivors and descendents have signed a letter condemning Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza.
The International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) said in a press release that it penned the letter in response to “an inflammatory ad campaign”, in which prominent Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel compares the killing of children during the Holocaust to Hamas’ actions in Gaza.
“As Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the Nazi genocide we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine,” the letter said.
“We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation. Genocide begins with the silence of the world.”
