    My casual take on this is that it isn’t the same people. Those that lived through and survived the holocaust generally don’t bay for blood when interviewed like the Israeli government spokespeople or Right Wing US commentators.

    To me, they seem pretty fed up and saddened by what is happening but don’t exactly have the energy to stand up against it. There’s a sadness in the way they speak about what is happening.

    Compare that with IDF / Israeli spokespeople or Right Wing US religious opinion merchants on the news. They practically speak of Palestinians as dirt and vermin. They do not give a shit because they know nobody is going to stop them.

    The upsetting thing is that the latter group makes the appearance of speaking on behalf of the victims of the holocaust.
