From Auschwitz to Gaza: a tale of genocide
Just as some 200 Nazi war criminals found themselves in front of military tribunals after WW2, so too should Israeli war criminals face international justice for their crimes against humanity in recent weeks
It is the 47th day of Israel's attacks on Gaza. Palestinians who lost their lives are buried in mass graves.
