"From the Warsaw Ghetto to the Gaza Ghetto"
Suzanne Weiss, a survivor of the European Holocaust, will speak at this event, November 12, 2008, hosted by the Student Union at Goldsmiths college, University of London.
Here are some quotes from Ms. Weiss:
"In Canada, we have built a broad alliance for Palestinian liberation called the Coalition against Israeli Apartheid. 'Not In Our Name' is one of its Jewish sister organizations and stands for the right of Palestinians to return to their homeland.
"The coalition has launched a nationwide joint campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions against the Zionist State of Israel. Let's join in these and other efforts to liberate the Palestinians and to put an end to Israeli apartheid. Against imperialist wars and Zionist oppression in the Middle East!"
Weiss also commented about the European Holocaust of the early 1940's, stating that it was "a by-product of the catastrophic world wars in the last century which are linked to the social system that we call imperialism."
"In fact", noted Weiss, "the Zionist state uses many of the methods of Nazism to oppress the Palestinians, including confining them in walled ghettos."
