Alon - it's not Jewish people who carry forward this horror -it's the entire Global North. That outpost of empire is the tool. Post WW2 "De-nazification" was a con. eg Adolf Heusinger

the last Magdalene laundry finally closed in 1996. Known as the Gloucester Street Laundry, it was home to 40 women, most of them elderly and many with developmental disabilities. Nine had no known relatives; all decided to stay with the nuns.

Remembered this by Fatima al-Sanoussi, from Sudan
"His warm spirit spread all through
the gathering place.
I saw candles laugh
till they broke into tears.
We celebrated without putting out a candle
so as not to silence the deep, weeping laughter."

It is a heavy burden - and yes again, somehow the WW2 reparation dumped the burden on Jewish people. Funny how that works isn't it. It is so grand to see Jewish people speak up for truth and humanity - at great cost. It is crucial Thank you

The Holocaust was the culmination of European violence...its components: racial supremacy, concentration, biopolitics - happened before, ( the Nama and Herero genocide), and elements of it after (Kenya). Europe feels guilt about the episode, not the principle.

"During the First Intifada, Palestinians widely boycotted Zionist products. The Christian Palestinian town of Beit Sahour created a co-op with 18 cows to produce their own dairy products. The IOF deemed these cows a "threat to national security", forcing the cows to be hidden."
Fatima was first jailed in 1946 for her part in the passive resistance to segregation in Durban. An ANC member jailed for the second time in 1952 for her role in the defiance campaign, "Banned" for 5 yrs from 1964, she still outlived apartheid.

Bravo again Alon. USA and UK have their own lovely stories of making the world better by disappearing "savages" "fanatics" and other species of inferior people too. Settler colonial states and their "parents" do have a groove.

Fanon observed during French occupation of Algeria, that his Algerian Muslim patients often fell into such deep despair they no longer moved or spoke. The French saw these colonised Muslims as either passive fatalists, or violent fanatics.

It's anti-semitism against the largest group of semitic peoples, Arabic speakers. Crusaders murdered Jews on their way to to murder Christians in the Holy Land and Byzantium and to fight and lie about Muslims too. Heartbroken and terrified by the open racism of "friends" now.
