GAZA...an historical perspective:
The Warsaw Ghetto was composed of Jews forced out of
their homes and herded into one small section of the
city.
Gaza is composed largely of refugees and their descendents,
most of whom were forced to flee their homes during
the 1948 war.
Like the Ghetto, in the last decade the Gaza Strip
has been surrounded by a barrier that has literally
imprisoned 1.5 million in a territory that has become
one of the most densely populated in the world.
Once the war started, Gazan civilians were trapped
within a war zone, while Israel - crucially, with Egyptian
help - had full command of the territory in and around
Gaza. This situation prompted comparisons with the absolute
Nazi control of the Ghetto and its surrounding area
during the uprising.
Increasing restrictions on food, water and medical
supplies by the Israeli military, and severe levels
of malnutrition and unemployment "evoked"
memories of the Nazi's slow strangulation of the Ghetto,
as Richard Falk described it.
Even the tunnels of Gaza have been compared to those
used by Jews to smuggle food and other essential goods
into the Ghetto from the "Aryan side".
Psychological harm
These comparisons reflect an intolerable situation
that is not just a humanitarian disaster, but has included
the systematic commission of war crimes, and through
them, crimes against humanity. The fact that the situation
in Gaza has existed for decades has deepened the suffering,
and the level of culpability.
