The people of Israel are certain to regret one day having let Sharon drag them into a shameful campaign that revives memories of Nazi crimes. And it is indeed astonishing, inconceivable, that a people such as the Israelis, who like no other has known the ferocity of the Nazis, is now trying to imitate them by acting with the same ferocity. |

They claim to be acting
in self-defence. How is it possible to compare two totally different situations? They want to turn the Palestinian
territories into a vast military camp, thus perfecting their final
solution. In the end it seems that the former victims, the Israelis,
are more and more fascinated by the methods of their former torturers,
the Nazis. Final Solution at the expense of the Jews. Final
Solution at the expense of the Palestinians. Not even the revolting
"detail" of branding the prisoners' hands with numbers has been
omitted... And all that with the permission
and support of the only superpower and the culpable inaction of the others.
Who are content - starting with the United Nations Security Council -
to express wishes without backing them up. Where are the Arabs, the Europeans,
the Russians, the Chinese? Where are the peoples? I do not know, but all
that reminds me of the decade 1930-1940. This torpor of today's governments
and peoples, we know very well to which biblical catastrophe it led humanity...
If we leave Palestine all
alone at the mercy of the current occupiers, then we're opening the door
to the darkest forces humanity has known in the past. The Greek
people find themselves once again entirely on the side of the victims,
the heroic Palestinians, and demands that the UNO resolution be respected.
That the Israeli army withdraw, that Arafat be freed, and that peace talks
begin. This is the only way for the two peoples to be liberated from the
throes of war.
