In the Sixties young Germans asked their parents how they could have let that happen what everybody knew but only few people tried to fight - the annihilation of German and European Jews in extermination camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau or Treblinka. They often excused themselves answering that they couldn't know for sure what fate awaited their Jewish neighbours after being deported.

Today it's even less credible if people evade into alleging not to know what the Palestinians in Gaza have to endure. Today we have comments in legacy media whose authors openly talk about a genocide happening and people dying by hunger due to the systematic cutting off of life saving ressources.

Will the governments who support Israel in ignoring basic human rights and international law one day held accountable? Western Germany had a lot of Nazis personally responsible for the Holocaust and NS-fascism who not only got off the hook of criminal persecution but who were rewarded for their past as NS-functionaries with high positions in the administrative apparatus and legal institutions of the Bundesrepublik. They could enjoy their pensions while communists who were fighting the Nazis got nothing and were politically repressed even by being jailed again.

Politicians and companies complicit with this genocide will pobably not be prosecuted either - there will be another war or catastrophe even worse than today in whose shadow all will be lost and forgotten ...

"I want to be clear – what is being done to Palestinians in Gaza is barbaric and entirely preventable. I cannot believe we have come to a point where the world is watching as the people of Gaza are forced to endure starvation and gunfire, all while food and medical aid sits across the border just miles away from them."
