Children are being killed tonight. It’s not a humanitarian disaster. It’s deliberate ethnic cleansing. Around 65% of the 2.2 million inhabitants of Gaza are under 25. Around 500, 000 of them are children under 10… under 10.
I don’t believe propaganda when all contact with those inhabitants has been cut off and no journalists are allowed to know what is actually happening. Netanyahu has always said he wanted every inch of that landmass to be Israel. He is known to be corrupt and ruthless. I know many Jews stand with me in opposing this horrific killing of innocent children. Here is one example… The son of Holocaust survivors, Dr. Norman Finkelstein, from 2009…
@GaryLineker The Nazi government persecuted groups they saw as 'untermensch': not fully human. This government isn't Nazi but their policy of excluding asylum seekers and whipping up racist hysteria against them also suggests these desperate people as not truly human.
@susannahlwright@MichaelRosenYes Read my book: 'Breaking the Silence' which is based on interviews with the children of refugees/exiles escaping Nazism. The silence of parents is a common theme.
@RRRDonner Anybody interested in the resistance in Germany to the Nazis, in particular from the left, check out my two books: Anti-Nazi Germans' (co-author Steve Cushion) and my biography of my father: 'Beaten but not defeated.Siegfried Moos. A German anti-Nazi who settled in Britain'.
@RRRDonner @planetcommunism @nickturse It is regularly 'overlooked' how far there was a resistance to Nazism from within Germany, in particular from the left and the organised working class. Anybody interested in the resistance, have a look at my and Cushion's book: 'Anti-Nazi Germans'.
