For years\u00a0 Israelis and\u00a0 Zionists\u00a0have been\u00a0pumping\u00a0 ‘Shoah’ into our veins by using every possible propaganda outlet: media, education, Hollywood, music, literature, billboards and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seemingly they have been\u00a0very successful :\u00a0We are all properly ‘ Holocausted ‘<\/em>. We accept the suffering of the Jewish people — and we have even managed to draw a universal\u00a0message from\u00a0it all.<\/span><\/p>\n

We do accept that a real Shoah is taking place in front of our eyes in Palestine, where the Jewish state locks millions of Palestinians behind bars: it starves them,\u00a0 it stops medical supplies, food, cement, and\u00a0educational materials from getting in. But it does not stop there —\u00a0when the Jewish state feels like it,\u00a0it also kills Palestinians indiscriminately.\u00a0 It either blitzes them with white phosphorous\u00a0,\u00a0or\u00a0 sends in\u00a0its tank battalions\u00a0 to drive over Gaza.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In preparation for \u00a0<\/span>Holocaust Memorial Day<\/span><\/a>, London Zionist mouthpiece\u00a0 <\/span>The Jewish Chronicle<\/span><\/a> is\u00a0 very disturbed by a UK-based\u00a0 pro Palestinian web site named <\/span>shoah.org.uk<\/span><\/a>. The site is obviously dedicated to the Palestinian Holocaust.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jewish paper insists that\u00a0 the Shoah — like Israel —\u00a0is a \u2018Jews only club\u2019. They do not want to ‘let\u00a0anyone else in’.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust told the Jewish paper, “Using the word ‘Shoah’ in this context is done with the sole intention of causing offence to Holocaust survivors, their families and the wider Jewish community and shows the greatest possible disrespect to the tragedy of the Holocaust.”<\/span><\/p>\n

I would fiercely argue that Pollock is wrong. \u00a0Using the word ‘Shoah’ in this very context is there to awaken the world, the Jews, and holocaust victims in particular,\u00a0 to the fact that the biggest current\u00a0 perpetrator of crimes against humanity —\u00a0is actually\u00a0 the Jewish state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark Gardner, of the \u00a0Community Security Trust, said: “This website is yet another sickening example of how the Holocaust is perverted by anti-Zionists in order to attack Israel and Zionism.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark Gardner is almost correct;\u00a0anti Zionists\u00a0do\u00a0indeed use the Shoah as a\u00a0means of mirroring. And it is now an accepted fact\u00a0that the Palestinians are the last victims of Hitler. It is also becoming accepted that the Israelis are the Nazis of our time. And tragically enough, the crimes in Palestine\u00a0carried out\u00a0by the Jewish state are also being committed in the name of the Jewish people. As if this is not enough, it is Jewish pilots who drop white phosphorus from planes which are\u00a0decorated with Jewish symbols.<\/span><\/p>\n

These facts are disturbing and demand the immediate attention of world Jewry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies (\u00a0another morbid institute that claims to represent British Jews )\u00a0told the Jewish Chronicle\u00a0 that “even without delving into what is clearly a one-sided and skewed narrative, by virtue of its title, this website is extremely provocative and any trivialisation of the Holocaust in which over six million Jewish men, women, and children were systematically murdered is completely abhorrent.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Benjamin is probably too lame to grasp that what we see here is the total opposite —\u00a0We are actually witnessing an acceptance of an astute\u00a0universalising<\/em> of the holocaust as carrying a humanist<\/em> message for all of us.\u00a0We\u00a0can\u00a0see a deeper understanding of the true moral meaning of that historical event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surely we need to stand up against all<\/em> forms of ethno-centric homicidal policies. And it seems clear that\u00a0Israel is no different from Nazi Germany in that regard. In fact\u00a0Israel is far worse,\u00a0because Israel\u00a0acts under the guise of being\u00a0a democracy, and its merciless policies\u00a0are\u00a0a\u00a0 reflection of the majority Israeli population’s yearning to live in a ‘Jews only’ state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a few questions are still left open —\u00a0Why exactly do\u00a0the aforementioned Jews from the Jewish Chronicle and the Board of Deputies want to maintain the notion and reality of historical suffering as being exclusively Jewish property? Why don\u2019t they\u00a0want anyone else to\u00a0use the word ‘Shoah’?\u00a0 Why do they demand a total control over the usage of words and applications of meanings ?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you imagine a Ukrainian protesting against the word ‘famine’ being\u00a0 applied to the situation in Ethiopia?<\/span><\/p>\n

I really wonder why so many Jews insist\u00a0on grounding their identity politics on suffering and being hated by others?<\/span><\/p>\n

For clearly, one must admit that being loathed is not exactly something to\u00a0 brag about.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am bewildered.<\/span><\/p>\n
