Where have we seen this

A video of the mass displacement of Palestinians from the north under threat of fire. We watch the struggling, exhausted women and children and elderly herded by a relentless military. Shooting stragglers or those who refuse to leave.

Where have we seen this?

In Zamosc, Poland, there were four "aktions" (the euphemistic term for the herding of Jews to death camps). The first was in April 1942, the last and final one in October 1942. In the first 3 aktions, Jews were forced onto trains, 100 people or more squeezed into freight cars made to carry no more than 40 people. Those slow to move, or who refused, were shot. Many died of suffocation or heat in the packed cars. The 'survivors' arrived at Belzec or Sobibor where they were gassed. During the final aktion, which took place in October 1942, for some reason there were no trains available. So the remaining Jews were marched to the town of Izbica, where there was a transit camp, 11 kilometers away. Those who lagged behind were shot. One well known citizen of Zamosc, Bronislawa Spiegelglass, a physician, slipped away to the side of a church (pointed out to me by Polish historians), and injected her 11 year old son and herself with a fatal dose of morphine.

My grandmother's niece, husband, and 4 year old daughter were rounded up for an earlier aktion. Her husband said to the Nazi guarding them: "You're going to kill us anyway. We're not leaving our home". They were told to stand against a wall, and all three were shot. Her husband and child died instantly, but she did not, and survived a few days with a bullet wound to her head.

This is happening right now in in Gaza. A family has said: "We can go no further" and been shot. Children have been shot. Babies have been shot. Old people, handicapped people, sick people, shot. People attached to IVs bombed, burned to death. Forced to keep moving. To where? To certain death. Only in a different place. A transit camp.

From above a line of human beings looks like ants. If one of the ants is felled, so what? What does it matter to the ubermenschen. What if a giant foot comes down and steps on the entire column? Well, the world leaders will say, the ants should have been following orders.

This heinous travesty. This massive war crime we're all funding.

This insane specter of "antisemitism" raised again and again to any who dare protest it. To silence us. I will tell you what is antisemitic. Associating being Jewish with Israel, with this horrific marauding entity which learned nothing, nothing at all from the holocaust, except how to perpetrate one.
