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.

Yet, 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 just passed away, the author of a book called "The End of Judaism", in which he explains, like a student of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that Zionism and Judaism are incompatible. Meyer compares Israel to Nazi Germany ("there are many similarities", he wrote). Meyer did not hesitate to appear on Iranian television, Press TV, the voice of the ayatollahs in the world, the same people who condemn Israel to disappear from the map.


What's better than the vulgarization of the Holocaust by a grandchld of survivors who directs a center of "Middle East Studies"?
The appeal is signed by Hedy Epstein, one of the most famous faces of the Freedom flottillas launched in solidarity with Hamas. She even flew to Cairo last month to participate in the demonstrations against Israel. She has recently embarked on a hunger strike for Gaza. 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".
