Andy Worthington: Holocaust survivors against the Gaza genocide

Yesterday, on the latest National March for Palestine in London, this particular group of campaigners, Holocaust Survivors and Descendants against the Gaza Genocide, highlighted, as they always do, the absolute hypocrisy of any Jewish people anywhere supporting Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip.
The group includes two child Holocaust survivors, Stephen Kapos and Agnes Kory, seated in the centre of the photo, and numerous other descendants of Holocaust survivors, and their message is irrevocably powerful.
They condemn Israel’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, they compare their own experiences of Nazi oppression to the oppression currently inflicted on the Palestinians, they believe that “Never again” means “Never again for anyone”, and they take part in every protest to actively counter claims that the pro-Palestine marches are inherently antisemitic or represent “no-go zones” for Jewish people.
