What did you do in the war, Daddy?

March 27, 2025

We boomers asked our fathers what they did in WWII. How many children of this generation will ask their parents what they did during the Palestinian genocide when the major victims of WWII did their level best to wipe Palestine and Palestinians off the map?

I suggest there won’t be any equivalent of the many Holocaust memorials. Not enough people care to see that the same and worse is happening now, committed by the descendants of those memorialised in those museums. They won’t want to be shamed in the future.

We haven’t made a mark on our government as it sits on its hands, giving more support to perpetrators than to the persecuted. The mainstream press has been silent for decades. Big business pulls the strings and rakes in the money. The Zionist movement also pulls the strings while doing its best to shut down voices for truth.

Passing on the history of genocide in plain sight while the world averted its eyes will be the task of a small number of historians. And when it happens again, as it will, a very few will say “This happened before in Palestine.” And the people will look blank, having learned nothing.
