‘Israel Claims to Inherit the Memory of the Jews Who Died in the Holocaust – What They Inherit is the Memory of Those Who Killed the Jews’
Tony Greenstein speech at Brighton Station Sit
In 22 July 2025
It was Primo Levi, the Italian Jew who survived Auschwitz who was reputed to have said that the Palestinians are Israel’s Jews. In fact it was his interviewer who said it and he assented to it.
Levi
said “Everybody is somebody’s Jew,” to Filippo Gentiloni, from the Italian
newspaper Il Manifesto, in an interview published on June 29, 1982. He completed the Levi
quote with his own comment: “And today Palestinians are the Jews of the
Israelis.” It was the logical extension of Levi’s own quote and Levi's call for
the resignation of Begin and Sharon over the massacre of Palestinians at the Sabra
and Chatilla refugee camps in Beirut.
Today
we face a deliberately engineered starvation of the population of Gaza as the
Western world looks on and as the vile Trump administration continues to support
that starvation. This includes the mass
killing of those who enter the death traps run by the Christian so-called Gaza
Humanitarian Foundation. Only Zionism could devise a food programme that was
really a game of Russian roulette.
The
10th illustration of the IHRA misdefinition of anti-Semitism says
that comparisons between Nazi Germany and Israeli policies are anti-Semitic.
Perhaps someone can explain how starving a civilian population in the Warsaw
Ghetto is any different from starving it in the Gaza Ghetto?
In
the meantime child starvation is surging
in Gaza. Having barred all journalists from Gaza, because Israel knew that it
couldn’t defend what they would see, journalists too are now starving.
This is what Zionism has turned out to be, a replication of the Nazis, but this
time it is backed by our own war criminal politicians.
Not
only are the Palestinians
the descendants of the ancient Hebrews but they are now experiencing what
the Nazis did to the Jews of Europe at the hands of the European settlers who
colonised Palestine. They are in every
sense the real Jews of Palestine unlike the ‘Jewish’ colonists.
The
sit-in and protest at Brighton railway
station was called because of the starvation of the Palestinians in Gaza at the
hands of the Israeli state. It is testament to the hypocrisy of the British Establishment
and its Tory media mouthpieces that a few weeks ago at Glastonbury the media
manufactured one of these moral panics so beloved of our rulers over Bobby
Vylan’s chant of Death to the IDF.
It
is difficult to understand the objection of politicians and their BBC mouthpiece
to Vylan’s chant. The IDF is no different to the Schutztaffel (SS). It is
a criminal organisation of racial supremacists. The death of its genocidaires
should cause no one to lose any sleep. It is either them or the people of Gaza
who they are starving to death.

Netanyahu likes to claim
that the Israeli army is the ‘most moral
army in the world’. If that were true then the sooner we disband all armies
the better. Israel’s genocidal army has set new records. It dresses up in the underwear of the women it
has murdered and plays
with the toys of the children who their snipers have shot in the head. It prevents
anaesthetics entering Gaza in order that children having their limbs
amputated might suffer.
Israel likes to pretend that it inherits the memory
of those Jews who died in the Nazi holocaust (no other victims concern it). But
as readers of my
book will know it was the Zionist movement which led the way in
collaboration with Hitler and the Nazis.
There are those who claim that Israel is a refuge
from anti-Semitism but Zionism and its bastard creation is the main cause of anti-Semitism. Not unsurprisingly, given that the so-called representative
organisation of British Jews, the Board of Deputies, supports
Israel’s barbarities in the name of British Jews, many people hold Jews responsible
for the atrocities and are tempted to blame them and worse for the atrocities.
This is misguided but understandable.
Speeches at Brighton Railway Station sit-in
against Starvation of Gazans - Sami & Youth Action
The best way of combating what little anti-Semitism there
is in British society is for Jews to dissociate themselves from Israel, Zionism
and what is happening in Gaza. People like Phil Rosenberg, President of the BOD,
are the main cause of anti-Semitism in Britain today. This is quite deliberate.
There is nothing Zionists like better than anti-Semitism to justify their
ethnic cleansing project in Palestine.
Of course the British Establishment and people like
the Metropolitan Police’s despicable Commissioner, Mark Rowley, are eager
to associate Jews with Israeli war crimes. The British government and the
Police pretend that they are concerned about ‘anti-Semitism’ in order to clamp
down on Palestine solidarity protests. If that concern was genuine then they
would do all in their power to draw a sharp distinction between Jews in Britain
and the war criminals in Tel Aviv.
Israeli Soldiers Play
Sadistic Games with the Toys of Palestinian Children They Have Murdered
Tonight around 200 people occupied Brighton railway
station for an hour last night whilst people chanted ‘Free Palestine’ and other
slogans. I spoke first and compared Israel to Nazi Germany pointing out that Israel’s
policy today of starving Palestinians in Gaza is no different from the Death by
Hunger policy of the Nazi Governor of Poland, Hans Frank. Frank was hanged at Nuremberg after the war.
As I said in my speech both Lammy and Starmer belong in the dock in a fresh Nuremberg
trial. Starmer and Lammy are no different from Hans Frank, Streicher and the
others Nazis who were hanged.
Those who deny genocide in Gaza today consciously
lie like Starmer and Lammy. Genocide scholars like the Israeli academic Omar
Bartov, have
no doubt about what is happening. All international human rights groups
have long ago declared what is happening a genocide. Those who deny genocide in
Gaza are no different from those who deny the Nazi holocaust. The Zionists are the Jewish equivalent of neo-Nazi holocaust deniers.
Starmer himself is well known to have said
Vukovar and Srebenica were genocides. 1,200 and 8,000 people were killed
there. In Gaza when the dust settles we
could be looking at half a million murdered. This snake of a politician is
nothing but a cold, calculated, desiccated human being.

Kit Malthouse accuses David Lammy of complicity
in the Genocide in Gaza 22.7.25
It is ironic that it wasn’t Labour MPs or even the
independent MPs (what has happened to the Muslim MPs who were elected last
year? They have gone remarkably silent) but a Tory MP, Kit Malthouse who has
been the fiercest critic of the genocide. Yesterday he accused
David Lammy of complicity in the genocide. This fat, bumbling, corrupt
politician who has taken thousands
of pounds in bribes from the Israel lobby, called Malthouse’s accusations ‘unseemly’.
Parliamentary etiquette matters more to Lammy than the lives of the children
who are wasting away in Gaza.
Meanwhile the Labour benches are epitomised by the
craven figure of our Brighton and Hove MPs, Chris
Ward – Starmer’s political footstool – and Peter Kyle, the
former boyfriend of the ex-MP for Hove and friend of under-age boys Ivor
Caplin.
But I digress. After occupying the station we marched to Brighton’s Churchill Square shopping centre which we wound through like a snake,
chanting. People welcomed us and filmed it before we marched again
to the Clocktower, which is Brighton’s central landmark. The march had grown
meanwhile to about 500.
I attach some photos and videos of what happened Brighton
has a vibrant Palestine solidarity movement and our small Zionist claque, every
time they show their face in public, face the contempt of ordinary people.

Another excellent piece, Tony. Particularly poignant is: Those who deny genocide in Gaza today consciously lie like Starmer and Lammy. Genocide scholars like the Israeli academic Omar Bartov, have no doubt about what is happening. All international human rights groups have long ago declared what is happening a genocide. Those who deny genocide in Gaza are no different from those who deny the Nazi holocaust. The Zionists are the Jewish equivalent of neo-Nazi holocaust deniers.
ReplyDeleteLets be honest here, the complicity is of the Labour Party as a whole, not just two individuals, as awful as they are. They are both very much continuity Labour politicians.
