       Jason Stanley begins this important essay by stating that he speaks as someone whose life has been defined by the genocide of Jewish people. He lost multiple relatives in the Holocaust. Then he states,"To me, with my background, that is just what it means to be Jewish – to empathize with the innocent victims of mass killing, no matter their identity."#Israel #Hamas #Palestinians #Gaza #Holocaust /1https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/nov/11/my-life-has-been-defined-by-genocide-of-jewish-people-i-look-on-gaza-with-concern

       "Israel’s current actions, I believe, make me less safe as a Jewish person, rather than more. But I also feel Israel’s actions, not only here but also over time, in a different way – as an assault on my Jewish identity. ...Israel suffered an unspeakably horrifying terrorist attack, by a criminal group dedicated to its destruction."#Israel #Hamas #Palestinians #Gaza #Holocaust /2

       "But in its desire for revenge, Israel is engaging in the mass killing of innocent civilians, largely children, which may spiral even further out of control. Israel claims it is not targeting civilians. But what does such a claim mean when Israel is conducting such a fierce bombing of an urban area as dense as Gaza?"#Israel #Hamas #Palestinians #Gaza #Holocaust /3

       @wdlindsy Israel's actions and the associated propaganda make Jews, Muslims and Arabs less safe.

       "For those of us who are Jewish, and particularly for those of us who bear the trauma of our own ancestors’ genocide, it is time to face the consequences of these actions, not only for the Palestinians, whose tragedy is obvious, but for ourselves."#Israel #Hamas #Palestinians #Gaza #Holocaust /4
