Holocaust survivor Agnes Kory: there’s no end to Israel’s atrocities for Gaza’s children

Holocaust survivor Agnes Kory has told the Metro that she:

sees no end to the suffering for children in Gaza, even when they return to their homes under a ceasefire agreement.

Holocaust survivor speaks out

In August, Kory, 81, who survived the Nazis’ attempt to exterminate Hungary’s Jews and has spent sixty-five years researching the Holocaust, accused Israel of constructing ‘Nazi show camps’ in Gaza to parade Palestinian survivors while continuing their extermination and expulsion from their homeland.  Now, with a supposed ‘ceasefire’ in place, she has pointed to Israel’s daily violations of its agreement and continued slaughter of Palestinian civilians, saying that:

After I survived, nobody was trying to bomb me and kill me anymore. There was an end to the atrocities, but I don’t see any end for the Palestinian children. I am not convinced that these people in Gaza will not continue to be under threat of being killed and hurt.

The Israeli government does not want a Palestinian state, I don’t believe that there is any peace coming to the Palestinians.

She also pointed to Israel’s continued and unpunished ethno-supremacism, as well as the ingrained dishonesty of both Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and US president Donald Trump:

Once the Holocaust was over I had equal rights with everybody else.

The Palestinians, including the Palestinian children, they still don’t have equal rights like with Jewish citizens of Israel. The ceasefire is just a con. Mr Trump was keen to get his Nobel Prize.

They’re not even getting the whole of Gaza back. So the big concentration camp where they once lived, now it’s going to be a smaller concentration camp. Netanyahu did announce that if the Palestinians don’t behave, then the ceasefire will stop, so the Israelis are still the rulers.

I have had a good life, which was haunted by memories and the memories of my family.

All the children in Gaza now will be damaged for life, and they have had a sustained campaign against them. They had to live in fear for two years. They were starved.

Human nature can be resilient. The Palestinians did show amazing, astonishing resilience. Presumably a lot of them will be hopeful because if you don’t hope, you cannot live.

And Kory said that she is “outraged” by the tactic of Israel and its mouthpieces of presenting its genocide as if it has been done on behalf of all Jews and is supported by all Jews – and as if those who oppose it are therefore antisemitic ‘hate marchers’:

That’s not a war. It was a killing field and what else can you call a killing field? It’s a genocide. A lot of what Israel does is supposed to be doing in the name of Holocaust survivors, in the name of Jews.

I resent that. I’m outraged by it. It’s definitely not in my name.

Targeting of anti-Zionist Jews

To protect Israel’s narrative, UK media continue to airbrush out the many Jews who are front and centre of the anti-genocide movement’s marches every week. During the summer, Agnes Kory and hundreds of anti-Zionist Jews signed a letter to PM Keir Starmer demanding action to end the genocide and his government’s collaboration in it. Starmer refused to allow them to deliver their letter to Downing Street and did not reply after they posted it to him.

Many anti-Zionist Jews are among those being targeted by the Starmer regime misusing anti-terror laws against peaceful peaceful protesters, just as he targeted left-wing Jews to hound them out of the Labour party.
