SIR Gerald Kaufman, Thu 15 Jan 2009 compared the actions of Israel in Gaza to the Nazis who forced his family to flee Poland. Kaufman, a member of the Jewish Labour movement also called for an arms embargo against Israel.
Sir Gerald Kaufman was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist.
"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians."
He said the claim that many of the Palestinian victims were militants "was the reply of the Nazi" and added: "I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants."
"They are not simply war criminals, they are fools."
