UK Jewish MP: Israel acting like Nazis in Gaza

"Israel was born out of Jewish Terrorism" Tzipi Livnis Father was a Terrorist" Astonishing claims in the House of Parliament. SIR Gerald Kaufman, the veteran Labour MP, yesterday compared the actions of Israeli troops in Gaza to the Nazis who forced his family to flee Poland.

During a Commons debate on the fighting in Gaza, he urged the government to impose an arms embargo on Israel.

Sir Gerald, who was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist, said: "My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town a German soldier shot her dead in her bed.

"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians."

He said the claim that many of the Palestinian victims were militants "was the reply of the Nazi" and added: "I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants."

He accused the Israeli government of seeking "conquest" and added: "

They are not simply war criminals, they are fools."

Well done Sir Gerald, we need to recognise that a terrible thing is being done in the name of Jews, but not by the Jews. The ruling Party Coalition in Israel is guilty of heinous crimes against humanity. And there will never be peace until they are replaced by the true Jewish people who want to join with their Palestinian brothers. A state of Palestine would be accepted by all their neighbours.But not of course by the Zionist Party.

If only more eloquent jewish speakers would present their case in this way. He speaks nothing but clear common sense and his predictions for everyone involved are frightening unless the world wakes up to the injustice.

fucking jews again as expected from them

[Glenn Rodrigues]

I disagree most strongly. It's only when those who have most to gain from the injustices committed in the name of Zionism speak up, that those in power will (hopefully) take heed and work to change the evil system.

The ol' mythology of Jews = Nazis is meant as a joke, Something for Jew haters to chuckle about and elbow each other

[lIovePalestineBEST]

He's eloquent but that doesn't excuse his prejudices and igorance.

[lIovePalestineBEST]

Well I'd like Gerald Kaufman to visit Sderot.

[lIovePalestineBEST]

When will the Palestinian brothers accept Jews as neghbors when extremists rule in Ramallah and Gaza city?
