My late father was in Auschwitz, my late mother was in Madjanek 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 and the demolition of homes that Israel daily commits against the Palestinians; So I refuse any longer to be intimidated by the tears- if you had any heart in you, you would be crying for the Palestinians.

The treatment this man receives at the hands of the Israeli Lobby in the US will never cease to baffle and horrify me.
