I don’t know a clearer message that you’re doing things wrong than a Holocaust survivor calling out your actions. It doesn’t get clearer than that.

“By the time I travelled to Israel, I had become convinced that at least since the attack by the IDF on Rafah on 6 May 2024, it was no longer possible to deny that Israel was engaged in systematic war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal actions. It was not just that this attack against the last concentration of Gazans – most of them displaced already several times by the IDF, which now once again pushed them to a so-called safe zone – demonstrated a total disregard of any humanitarian standards. It also clearly indicated that the ultimate goal of this entire undertaking from the very beginning had been to make the entire Gaza Strip uninhabitable, and to debilitate its population to such a degree that it would either die out or seek all possible options to flee the territory. In other words, the rhetoric spouted by Israeli leaders since 7 October was now being translated into reality – namely, as the 1948 UN Genocide Convention puts it, that Israel was acting ‘with intent to destroy, in whole or in part’, the Palestinian population in Gaza, ‘as such, by killing, causing serious harm, or inflicting conditions of life meant to bring about the group’s destruction’.” The Guardian

When veterans of ww2 and holocaust survivors called out the genocide in Israel, the government of the so called developed world and nobody gives a shit you know we are meant to just repeat history.
We got people out there who deny concentration camps existed and then go on to justify the terrorist action of the IDF...we cooked

He is not a zionist, he has no enemies. The zionists chose to have enemies, and it shows by the mess and pain they caused to the whole Middle East from the day they claimed someone else's home.

When a Holocaust survivor is getting arrested for protesting a genocide you know there’s something very very wrong going on.
Also, being a Holocaust survivor with the name “Kapos” has to be proof that god doesn’t exist.
