The following is an excerpt from a speech made by a holocaust survivor. We spoke with a woman this week whose grandmother shares similar views. We found that her grandmother is not alone:
"I was born to a Jewish family in France during the Second World War. I am alive today, like thousands of other Jewish children of the time, thanks to the anti-Nazi resistance in France. The resistance united people of many political persuasions and religious beliefs: Jewish, Christian, and Muslim.
Today we must join in a similar broad alliance, this time to defend the Palestinians. In doing this, we also strike blows against anti-Semitism. Israel's aggressive policies in the Middle East are against the interests of Jewish people and Palestinians alike, all of whom have a stake in a peaceful and united Middle East. Palestinian liberation offers the Jewish people in the Middle East the prospect of brotherhood and peace."
