We, Israeli journalists representing the organization Slovo ("Word"), call upon you to join us and sign this letter of protest against the accomplices of the Palestinian terror.
WE ACCUSE
We accuse the European public, intellectuals and governments of creating conditions for a new Holocaust, this time in the Middle East, their one-sided unconditional support of the Palestinians in the Israeli-Arab conflict.
The current war awakens the common historical memory of the Jewish people: the older Jews remember the Holocaust they experienced in Europe while young people now come to understand how it became possible to consign a whole nation to the slaughter as the rest of the world stood idly by. The lessons of the Holocaust, so often mentioned by Western liberals, do not reduce to the mantra: "This must not happen again". The lesson learnt by Israel's sworn enemies is that it DID happen and therefore it CAN happen again.
From the depth of our suffering we now see you, the Europeans of the 21st century, as inciters and accomplices of our murderers. Sixty years ago Europeans thought they could appease Hitler by sacrificing the Jews. Today many of you think you can appease Islamic extremists by sacrificing the Jewish State. When you, the Europeans, talk about "defending national rights of the poor Palestinian people" it sounds to us as an evasion of truth and a miserable excuse. The Palestinians always considered themselves as a part of the large Arab world numbering quarter of a billion people - this is the power that has forced the Europe to give in to the anti-Israeli pressure. The basic question of the Israeli-Arab conflict is not about the right of Palestinians to have their own state. It is about the denial by the Arabs of our right to exist in this land.
As a result of your tireless support of the Islamic terror Israel has become a ghetto where people are being murdered every day for simply being Jews. Five million Jews live in this ghetto surrounded by 250 million hostile Arabs who want the Europeans to help them drive Israel into surrender. The Palestinians have learnt the Holocaust lesson of dealing with ghetto - the lesson of selection: declare that some are going to be killed first and kill the others later. The Palestinians, who have got your hints and your tacit approval, have declared that the Jewish residents of Judea, Samaria and Gaza are the first ones to be killed. The others will follow later. The blood of Jews who live in Judea, Samaria and
Gaza is being spilled several times a day. That blood and that of the six million victims of the Holocaust is on your hands and your conscience. And you will never wash it off.
