*Viewpoint: ISRAEL COMMEMORATES ITS HOLOCAUST WITH ANOTHER


History a not a circle, although sometimes it may give that
impression.

The heroic resistance of the Jewish people against the Nazi army in
Warsaw during World War II is repeating itself in the autonomous
Palestinian territories, only this time the role has been reversed.
The victims of the past are today's killers.

Zionist ideologists have launched a huge propaganda campaign in an
effort to match two concepts that although separated in time for more
than fifty years, are indissolubly linked under the same, simple
principle: there are superior people that should remain above others
using whatever methods they have to hand to maintain that supremacy.

It seems now that to condemn the present Palestinian holocaust
automatically means to refute the Jewish holocaust carried out more
than half a century ago and run the risk of being classed an
anti-Semite - a ridiculous charge given that both Palestinians and
Israelis come from the same Semitic origins.

It is undeniable that the Jewish people grievously suffered during
the Fascist years in Europe, which were shameful years in the history
of civilization. Likewise, gypsies, communists and homosexuals were
persecuted, placed in concentration camps and massacred. They were
treated just as badly as any other victims of Nazism.

Today, it is impossible to deny the similar suffering of the
Palestinian people, with their murdered children, their destroyed
homes and their towns occupied by Israeli troops.

Even the Israeli foreign minister, Shimon Perez, recognizes that a
massacre is taking place in the refugee camp of Jenin where hundreds
of Palestinians have died, according to international press reports.

At Tuesday's commemoration of the Jewish Holocaust, Israeli
authorities led by Ariel Sharon questioned the supposed rebirth of
anti-Semitism in the world. Yet the images we all see on
international television in the Occupied Territories are images of
one Semite race destroying another.

The Israeli authorities should look at the covers of the main
international newspapers and listen to the increasing worldwide
protests against their policy of exterminating Palestinians, instead
of listening to Washington's hypocritical recommendations.

Above all, they should remember that history is not a circle that
closes on itself, but rather a nonstop spiral going from generation
to generation and which will not forget today's names - just as we
remember those of Hitler, Mussolini or Goebbels.

The shame that Israel has brought to its own people will not fade
from human memory for many decades - perhaps even for centuries.
