Showing Original Post only (View all)Holocaust survivor speaks out for Gaza. Amazing statement. [View all]
Found at Twitter
I looked up more about Reuven Moskovitz and found this article from 2010. He is quite an activist. From BBC
Jewish activists sail to Gaza in defiance of blockade
Richard Kuper, a member of the UK-based organising group Jews for Justice for Palestinians, said it was a symbolic act of protest and also a message of solidarity to "Palestinians and Israelis who seek peace and justice".
"This is a non-violent action," he said.
"We aim to reach Gaza, but our activists will not engage in any physical confrontation and will therefore not present the Israelis with any reason or excuse to use physical force or assault them."
Among the activists is 82-year-old Holocaust survivor Reuven Moskovitz.
"It is a sacred duty for me, as a (Holocaust) survivor, to protest against the persecution, the oppression and the imprisonment of so many people in Gaza, including more than 800,000 children," he said.
Well said, Mr. Moskovitz.
