Info
Sir Gerald Kaufman (1930 – 2017) was a Jewish UK politician and author who served as a minister throughout the most recent Labour government.
During the 2009 war between Israel and Hamas, dubbed “Operation Cast Lead” by Israel, Kaufman accused Israel of exploiting Holocaust guilt to justify its actions in the Gaza Strip. “The current Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt among gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians” Kaufman said in a speech to parliament. Referring to his personal background, as the son of Jewish refugees from Poland, he said: “My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town. A German soldier shot her dead in her bed. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza.”
In 2008, Jewish U.S. Professor Norman Finkelstein, who comes from a family deeply impacted by the Holocaust, was outraged by what he saw as feigned sorrow or 'crocodile tears' from a student at Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio. Finkelstein's father was an Auschwitz survivor, while his mother survived the Warsaw Ghetto and Majdanek concentration camp. Having experienced significant loss within his family during the Nazi Holocaust, he was infuriated when confronted by a Jewish student questioning his pro-Palestinian stance. He said: "I don't respect the crocodile tears - if you had any heart in you, you would be crying for the Palestinians. I will not be silent when Israel commits crimes against Palestinians."
