How can anyone say it’s not about Jews when Holocaust monuments keep getting vandalized? In Treblinka, Poland, a memorial to the Jews exterminated there was defaced with graffiti comparing Nazis to Israelis. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis are Holocaust survivors. How dare anyone insult them—people who lived through the Nazis’ brutality: the antisemitic laws, the camps, the torture, the dehumanization, the mass murder, and the real genocide—by comparing them to the very regime that slaughtered their families? Equating Israel with Nazis is an act of hatred. We are not, and will never be like our murderers, who wanted us to go extinct. Israel is the reason my family is alive - a Nazi’s worst nightmare.
