In Gaza, echoes of the Warsaw Ghetto

PUTNEY — Thank you, Commons and Richard Evers, for publishing this honest piece on the war on Gaza.

Too often throughout this sickening attack on Gazans, the majority of whom are children, the reporting has been strongly biased from the Israeli military point of view without questioning the veracity. The same does not hold true when Palestinians are interviewed; their comments are often qualified as in need of verification.

During World War II, close to 500,000 Jews were crowded into the Warsaw Ghetto, some of whom could very well be my relatives. No food, medicine, or any goods entered that ghetto without passing through Nazi checkpoints.

Multiply that number to 2.3 million, and call it Gaza.

Now the bombs are raining down on them with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

This is not Israel defending itself - this is genocide. Palestinian lives matter, too.
