¡NUNCA MÁS PARA CUALQUIERA!/ Holocaust survivors condemn Israel for 'Gaza massacre,' call for boycott

Agosto 2014, International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network http://ijsn.net (USA)

Casi trescientos de supervivientes y descendientes de supervivientes del genocidio Nazi firman un manifiesto titulado ¡Nunca más para cualquiera! condenando la masacre de Gaza y reclaman el fin del genocidio del pueblo palestino. En la carta también denuncian el uso fraudulento de sus historias y biografías para promover la deshumanización de los palestinos tal como hacen Elie Wiesel junto a otros autores en recientes artículos (Ver http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/liberal-guardianprint-pro-genocide-ad), aparecidos en The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post y The Guardian. 

Supervivientes judíos y descendientes de los sobrevivientes del genocidio nazi condenan de forma inequívoca la masacre de palestinos en Gaza


Como sobrevivientes judíos y descendientes de los sobrevivientes del genocidio nazi condenamos inequívocamente la masacre de palestinos en Gaza, la ocupación actual y la colonización de la Palestina histórica. Nosotros y nosotras, además, condenamos a los Estados Unidos por proveer con apoyo financiero a Israel para el ataque, y a los estados occidentales por usar su fuerza diplomática para proteger a Israel de las condenas. El Genocidio comienza con el silencio del mundo.


Estamos alarmados por la deshumanización extrema y racista de los palestinos en la sociedad israelí, que ha alcanzado un punto culminante. En Israel los políticos y los expertos, en “Israel Times” y “The Jerusalem Post”, han pedido abiertamente el genocidio de los palestinos, y los derechistas israelíes están adoptando emblemas neo-Nazi.

Además, estamos asqueados e indignados por el abuso de quienes, como Elie Wiesel, utilizan nuestra historia en estas páginas para difundir flagrantes falsedades para justificar lo injustificable: el intento de Israel de destruir Gaza y el asesinato de casi 2.000 palestinos, entre ellos cientos de niños y niñas. Nada puede justificar el bombardeo de refugios de la ONU, casas, hospitales y universidades. Nada puede justificar privar a la gente de electricidad y agua.

Debemos levantar nuestras voces y usar nuestro poder colectivo para poner fin a todas las formas de racismo, incluyendo el actual genocidio del pueblo palestino. Llamamos al fin inmediato del asedioy bloqueo de Gaza. Llamamos a un boicot económico, cultural y académico de Israel. “Nunca más” debe significar ¡NUNCA MAS PARA CUALQUIERA!

Firman: Hajo Meyer, superviviente de Auschwitz y 295 personas más.

Holocaust survivors condemn Israel for 'Gaza massacre,' call for boycott

August 23, 2014, http://www.haaretz.com (Israel)

In response to Elie Wiesel advertisement comparing Hamas to Nazis, 327 Jewish Holocaust survivors and descendants publish New York Times ad accusing Israel of 'ongoing massacre of the Palestinian people.'

By Haaretz

Hundreds of Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors have signed a letter, published as an advertisement in Saturday's New York Times, condemning "the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza" and calling for a complete boycott of Israel.

According to the letter, the condemnation was prompted by anadvertisement written by Elie Wiesel and published in major news outlets worldwide, accusing Hamas of "child sacrifice" and comparing the group to the Nazis.

The letter, signed by 327 Jewish Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors and sponsored by the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, accuses Wiesel of "abuse of history" in order to justify Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip:

"…we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel’s abuse of our history in these pages to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water."

The letter also blames the United States of aiding Israel in its Gaza operation, and the West in general of protecting Israel from condemnation.

"Genocide begins with the silence of the world," the letter reads.
The letter ends with a call to bring the blockade of Gaza to an immediate end, and for a full boycott of Israel. "Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!," the letter concludes.

Full text of letter:

"Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of Nazi genocide unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza

"As Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the Nazi genocide we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine. We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation. Genocide begins with the silence of the world.

"We are alarmed by the extreme, racist dehumanization of Palestinians in Israeli society, which has reached a fever-pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide of Palestinians and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia.

"Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel’s abuse of our history in these pages to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water.

"We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!"
