A Response to #Elie_Wiesel

Mr. Wiesel,
I read your statement about Palestinians, which appeared in The New York Times on August 4th. I cannot help feeling that your attack against Hamas and stunning accusations of child sacrifice are really an attack, carefully veiled but unmistakable, against all Palestinians, their children included.
As a child of Holocaust survivors—both my parents survived Auschwitz—I am appalled by your anti-Palestinian position, one I know you have long held. I have always wanted to ask you, why? What crime have Palestinians committed in your eyes? Exposing #Israel as an occupier and themselves as its nearly defenseless victims? Resisting a near half century of #oppression imposed by Jews and through such #resistance forcing us as a people to confront our lost #innocence (to which you so tenaciously cling)?
