When I read the title of the Italian daily La Repubblica, “Gaza, more than 300 Holocaust survivors against Israel”, I thought, wow! Sorry, the survivors were not “more than 300, not even “300”. There were 20. The others were children or grandchildren or distant relatives of survivors. The story has swept the media all over the world. Who is behind the campaign which appeared in a full page ad in the New York Times? Do they believe Jews are supposed to continue to be victims? The initiative was sponsored by the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, an organization openly hostile to Israel. Hajo Meyer, the first signatory on the list, is a well-known Dutch militant who compares Israel to Nazi Germany. You will also find Susan Slyomovics, who has made a distinguished career as a professor of anthropology at UCLA, where she leads the academic boycott of Israel. The appeal is signed by Hedy Epstein, one of the most famous faces of the Freedom flottillas launched in solidarity with Hamas. Epstein is part of the Free Gaza Movement, whose founder Greta Berlin said: “The Zionists organized the concentration camps to kill millions of innocent Jews”. israelnationalnews/Articles/Article.aspx/15634#.VBBuX7FJSUk
