(PALESTINIAN)HOLOCAUST DENIAL

Recently,books have appeared denying the suffering in Gaza-
saying Palestinians are not being forced off their lands,with farms appropriated
and olive trees and homes bulldozed.That the thousands injured by Israeli attacks
are allowed to rebuild in Gaza,even when the land ,sea and air blockade remains
as collective punishment(like the Warsaw Ghetto)
What is done to one is done to all of us.
Denial of the present often stems from our pasts.
The present Pope was in Hitler Youth
There are still paedophile priests and some
were protected by the Catholic Church
Reparations alone will not restore Palestine
when their very land is being stolen from beneath them
and they are stopped from being an independent nation.
9 civilians were recently murdered by Israeli troops
while trying to break the sea blockade .More were injured
What is done to one is done to all.The blockade continues
as collective punishment of innocent civilians.
What is done to one of us is done to all.
All the propaganda in our world needs to mute
Palestine needs community-not endless wars
Humanitarian aid is only necessary
because Palestinians are not allowed to work,export
sell,exchange-are third class citizens in their own land.
Walls only make prisons.Free Palestinians!
Allowing freedom to all starts with every one of us.
Cease this blockade and allow Palestine to exist
What is done to one is done to all of us!

  1. When millions of innocent Palestinians have been systematically murdered by Israel, you may speak of a holocaust. Until then, you shame yourselves by comparing it to the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews.
