With the sounding of a siren at 8pm on Monday, Israel begins the commemoration of Memorial Day, remembering soldiers killed since the establishment of the first Jewish settlements in Palestine in 1860, through Israel's many wars with its neighbours and attacks on Palestinians, up to those who died enacting its genocide in Gaza.
On Holy Saturday, as Palestinian Christians tried to reach the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Israeli security forces started attacking and arresting them, demonstrating a clear violation of religious freedoms.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, the world remembers the millions of people murdered and persecuted by the Nazi regime, including those who were targeted for being queer. The Holocaust is a dark stain on humanity's history - the Nazis murdered six million Jewish people as well as millions of others they considered to be subhuman. This included people targeted because they were Roma, Slavic, Black, disabled or gay.
