Holocaust Survivors' Son Condemns Israel's Treatment of Palestinians

Don't respect that anymore.

I really don't. I don't like and I don't

respect the crocodile tears to con-

to- The crocodile tears-

No.

Uh, I'm... Folks,

al- allow me to finish. And allow me to... Allow me to finish.

Listen, sir. Allow me to finish. Allow me to

finish. Uh, sir, sir.

I don't like to play,

I don't like to play before an audience the

Holocaust card. But since now I feel com-

Now I feel compelled to.

You run-

My late father was in Auschwitz.

Are you turning red?

My late mother... Please shut

up.

My late father was in Auschwitz. My

late mother was in Majdanek concentration camp.

Every single member of my family on my father's

side-

On my father's side-

The Jews did not take arms against the Germans.

My late father was in Auschwitz concentration camp.

My late mother was in Majdanek concentration camp.

Every single member of my family on both sides was

exterminated. Both of my parents were in the Warsaw

Ghetto Uprising. And it's precisely

and exactly because of the lessons my

parents taught me and my two siblings

that I will not be silent when Israel commits its

crimes against the Palestinians.

And I consider nothing more despicable

than to use their suffering and their

martyrdom to try to justify the

torture, the brutalization, the demo-

demolition of homes that Israel daily commits against

the Palestinians. So I refuse any

longer to be intimidated or browbeaten

by the tears. If you had any heart in you, you

would be crying for the Palestinians.
