Amidst the ongoing turmoil in Gaza, Jewish communities worldwide are speaking out against Israel’s actions towards Palestinians. Mark Etkind, the son of a Holocaust survivor, condemns Tel Aviv and its allies for using past atrocities to justify present-day violence, leading to over 40,000 Palestinian deaths since October.
Etkind, participating in a pro-Palestinian rally in London, criticizes Western support for Israel and the hypocrisy of invoking the Holocaust to justify genocide in Gaza. He emphasizes the urgent need for accountability and cessation of violence.
Concerned about the normalization of mass murder, Etkind and other activists advocate for political action and an end to arms sales to Israel. The recent attack on a school in Gaza further reinforces the need for global intervention and the severance of ties with Tel Aviv.
As the death toll rises in Gaza, protesters like Jane and university students demand an immediate cease-fire and denounce the inhumanity of the conflict. They call for solidarity and action to halt the violence and protect innocent lives.
