Why Are Pro-Palestine Protesters Heckling Holocaust Survivors?

What on Earth could compel a person to travel to Auschwitz to yell at Holocaust survivors? As incredible as it sounds, this is precisely what a group of ‘pro-Palestine’ protesters did yesterday. In Poland, half a dozen activists gathered around the former site of the Nazis’ largest extermination camp in order to disrupt a remembrance march for victims of the Holocaust. Seemingly, this was to make some sort of point about the war in Gaza. ...

Anyone with an ounce of compassion or common sense would have let these marchers commemorate history’s most brutal genocide in peace. And yet, covering their faces with keffiyehs, protesters aligned with a movement that claims to be about ‘peace’ decided it was a good idea to turn up waving Palestinian flags and chanting ‘Stop genocide’ at those taking part in the remembrance march.

This is a sickening display of either mind-numbing ignorance, staggering tone-deafness or outright anti-Semitism.

The question answers itself, no? This isn't about a two-state solution or some formula for mutual accommodation. These protesters want Israel annihilated. They aren't pro-Palestinian, they are pro-Hamas. And that's precisely what they should be called too, especially when targeting Jews like this.
