Moral outrage gains force from historical echoes of past persecution. [connection]

People are asking why I am taking this 'side'. There are no sides. I mourn all victims. But every law of war and international law is being broken in the targeting of civilians in Gaza. I stand with the people of Gaza exactly because things might have turned out differently if more people had stood with the Jews in Germany.

XREF: Echoes the 'never again' discourse and comparisons between Nazi Germany and Israel's treatment of Gaza, a recurring and contested historical analogy.
