“I saw in Auschwitz that if a dominant group wants to dehumanise others, as the Nazis dehumanise me, the dominant group must first dehumanise themselves, the same holds nowadays for Israel.
I am appalled about how hateful, how dehumanised, that they do not see any human aspect in any Palestinian anymore.
The Zionists have no right whatsoever to use the Holocaust for any purpose, they have given up everything which has to do with humanity and with empathy”

"If there is a link between what’s happening now and what happened in the 1930s, it is in the anti-Jewish propaganda that led to the Holocaust and the vicious anti-Muslim propaganda that is everywhere on the internet.
The Jews in the 1930s were the target of massive and widespread socially permitted racism and the Muslims today occupy the same space.
And what is really sad for me, as a Jew from a family of Jewish refugees from Vienna, is that Jews are now taking part…
It beholds the Jewish community to disassociate itself from the far-right and also from Israel and say 'no, this is not in our name', as an increasing number of young and very brave Jews are doing.
Israel’s alliance with fascists and Israel’s behaviour generally is the greatest threat to communal relations… than anything else.
The greatest threat to Jews around the world is fascists who have a common cause with Israel coming back to power in Europe again.
Because once they’ve finished eradicating or trimming down the Muslims they will turn on Jews next, just as they did in the 1930s.”

As a Holocaust Survivor, Israel’s genocide in Gaza is not done in my name.
I see echoes of the Holocaust in Gaza today:
Dehumanisation, humiliation, large-scale killings, destruction of families and the determination in which they are destroying the whole of Gaza is very similar to the cruelty of the fascist regimes.
What happened to the Jewish people, the industrial scale of extermination and invisible emotional pain, is so horrendous that it should never be repeated anywhere in the world.
That is why we say not in our name and Never Again.
Fascism thrives on indifference and the general public being intimidated or looking the other way due to self-preservation.
Don’t look the other way.
Be brave, and on the right side of history.

Breaking: In an important departure from its staunchly pro-Israel record, @CanadaUN just voted “YES” on a UN resolution to condemn Israel’s illegal settlements and affirm the ICJ advisory opinion. Canada had been voting against this resolution since 2011. It passed 152-9.

Remember when MAGAs pretended the popular vote on November 6 was a final tally and published chart after chart claiming Harris had gotten “21 million fewer votes” than Biden, and this proved—they said—the 2020 count was fraudulent?
Well, down to 7 million—and counting continues.
If I hear about how Canada Post has "posted losses" one more fucking time, I'm going to lose it. It is a POSTAL SERVICE. SERVICE. $3 billion is not a lot of money for a government service to have used in 6 YEARS. It is not a fucking business.
