The Palestinian Question

At one of the museums in Kazmieriz today it struck me that the techniques employed by the Nazis, to humiliate, alienate and dehumanise the Jews, were somewhat similar to the techniques the state of Israel employs against Palestine and the Occupied Territory.

Just as the Jews were herded into ghettoes, the Palestinians have found themselves ghettoised, deprived of the freedom of movement, subject to reprisals not against specific individuals but communities and generally fucked with.

At the Auschwitz-Birkenau, we were told the facility was a reminder lest this be repeated again. Now I'm not comparing the occupation of Palestine and the murder of Palestinians with the systematic, production line horror of Nazi genocide, but I would like to point out that everybody has the right to exist free of tyranny. Particularly in their birthland.
