Gaza is often compared to the Warsaw Ghetto by apologists for Palestinian violence.
This is both absurd and insulting, as well as deeply hurtful to the Jewish people or indeed any people with a sense of history, fairness and balance.
Amidst the controversy in the wake of the Goldstone report and its assumptions that Israel intended to punish the Palestinian people as a whole (despite the thousands of rocket and other terror attacks against Israeli civilians and contrary to all the evidence of warnings to the civilian population about the encroaching military action), perhaps it's well to read about the REAL Warsaw Ghetto and what happened to the people there.
Unlike the population of Gaza, which is growing rapidly, the Warsaw Ghetto was totally destroyed. Only a few people survived. Resistance against the Nazis wasn't "resistance".
It was literally a war for survival against a killing machine bent on the liquidation of entire peoples and the enslavement of a whole planet. It was a losing battle but the people were doomed anyway.
This is hardly the case with Gaza, indeed the proposed victims of liquidation are the Jews and the state of Israel.
Facts do matter. Facts are more important in the long run than "narratives" and regardless of all the Jew haters who are showing up on the Yahoo blog to complain about this article and propose that Israel should be destroyed and the land given to the Arabs, I think people should read this and hopefully get a grip:
