Holocaust Memorial Day in Israel evokes profound emotions, emphasizing remembrance and reflection on human suffering. As the nation commemorates the six million Jews lost during the Holocaust, some question the current war in Gaza, suggesting a contradiction to the phrase 'never again.' Protests erupt in response to the Gaza crisis, with demonstrators, including descendants of Holocaust survivors, highlighting the stark human toll on Palestinian civilians. They emphasize solidarity with the suffering in Gaza, urging compassion and awareness of the ongoing humanitarian crisis amidst political ceremonies and remembrances.
Never again had come to hold another meaning for some in Israel as the war in Gaza continues to ravage the Palestinian people and wipe out entire families.
If we have lost our compassion for the other, we have lost our humanity, stated Holocaust survivors holding a sign during the ceremonies.
Demonstrators in Tel Aviv held photos of Palestinian children killed since the war began, voicing their dissent at the current situation.
The protests have loudly called for an end to the war to save the remaining Israeli hostages and to return the dead, overshadowing Gaza's suffering.
