imagery to further his political aims, and garner sympathy for Israeli goals within the international community, it means that it can be used by other people to further their own aims. Even if they are at odds with Israel.
I have always stated on Haaretz that the Holocaust should not be used by anyone to further their own political agenda. As the Holocaust and it`s symbols should remain sacrosanct, and to use them weakens the impact of the Shoah. And is an insult to all those murdered by the Nazis.
That said, if you accept Israeli Jews using Holocaust imagery to further their own political goals. You cannot object to anyone else using the imagery and memory of the Holocaust to further their political goals. |
