The end of the Holocaust

I realize that, unintentionally and against all logic, I feel far from everything I have read and learned about the Holocaust.

Literature about past horror does not serve to prevent the horror broadcast live, the little girl crying for a piece of bread, the rickety arms of the little ones punished with famine for the mere fact of being as Palestinian as the Hamas terrorists.

Or that is the story that Israel's propaganda tells: that the crimes it is perpetrating against an unarmed population are nothing more than part of its self-defense strategy, but what do children and mothers have to do with violent organizations?

The humiliating treatment is unworthy of a civilized country where the word and the law should reign and not vengeful and sadistically organized barbarism.

When Elias Canetti visited his native Bulgaria in 1924, he met his cousin Bernhard Arditti, a passionate Zionist who, with his oratory skills in Ladino, was able to persuade those attending his talks “to turn their backs on a country in which who had been settled for several generations, where they were accepted and respected and where they were undoubtedly doing well, to emigrate to an unknown country, which had been promised to them millennia ago but which at that time did not belong to them at all.

The root of the flagrant injustice is exactly that, that a new State was established in a territory where, we were told, there was no one and on an idea, that of the promised land, of evident theocratic origin.

Europe's guilt for the

led to allowing this colonization process but the Palestinians, who had lived on their lands for millennia, had nothing to do with the horrors of Nazism.

In this sense, it is especially painful to observe that Germany is wrong again, that with its support for Israel it is once again siding with the executioners even if now it is to prevent anti-Semitism.

It is not hateful to affirm that Netanyahu's actions are criminal, among other things, because neither he nor his government are the only Jews in this world.

If after the Holocaust the philosophers ended modernity (there are no longer words that serve to describe the horror) today with the actions of the Israeli prime minister and the complicity of the West and the United States what ends is the Holocaust itself because it is now impossible read it and think about it without taking into account that some of the descendants of those who suffered it are inflicting unspeakable horror on other human beings.
