Hundreds of Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors have signed a letter, published as an advertisement in Saturday’s New York Times, condemning “the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza” and calling for a complete boycott of Israel.
According to the letter, the condemnation was prompted by an advertisement written by Elie Wiesel and published in major news outlets worldwide, accusing Hamas of “child sacrifice” and comparing the group to the Nazis.
The letter, signed by 327 Jewish Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors, accuses Wiesel of “abuse of history” in order to justify Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip:
“…we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel’s abuse of our history in these pages to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water.”
The letter also blames the United States of aiding Israel in its Gaza operation, and the West in general of protecting Israel from condemnation.
“Genocide begins with the silence of the world,” the letter reads.
The letter ends with a call to bring the blockade of Gaza to an immediate end, and for a full boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!,” the letter concludes.

Les survivants et les descendants juifs des rescapés du génocide nazi condamnent sans équivoque le massacre des palestiniens à Gaza.
IJAN | 7 Août 2014
"Comme survivants et descendants de survivants du génocide nazi juifs nous condamnons sans équivoque le massacre de Palestiniens dans la bande de Gaza et l’occupation continue et de la colonisation de la Palestine historique.
Nous condamnons en outre les États-Unis pour fournir à Israël le financement nécessaire pour mener à bien l’attaque, et les pays occidentaux, plus généralement, pour l’utilisation de leur poids diplomatique pour protéger Israël de la condamnation. Un génocide commence par le silence du monde.
