Holocaust denial and Genocide denial should both be treated with contempt.

A letter to the Sheffield Star responding to a writer who claimed starvation isn’t happening in Gaza.

Dear Editor

Those who claim the holocaust against the Jews never happened or was exaggerated are now rightly treated with contempt by the press and the public alike. 

Those who claim that starvation isn’t happening in Gaza, that journalists are not being murdered to hide Israeli war crimes, that IDF soldiers are not shooting people queuing for food aid, that hospitals and medical facilities have not been bombed, deserve a similar level of contempt. We must call it what it is, and that is Genocide.

Israel aims to push all Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank, and our country continues to support Israel with reconnaissance flights and parts for fighter jets. 

As we celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Japan, we should be deeply ashamed that our Government now seems to be on the side of the fascists in Israel.
