ZIONISTS ARE DEHUMANIZING THEMSELVES
January 30, 2024In a thought-provoking testimony, Hajo Meyer, a Holocaust survivor, draws striking parallels between historical atrocities and the current situation in Israel. Reflecting on his experiences in Auschwitz, Meyer highlights a disturbing pattern: the dehumanization of a dominant group precedes their infliction of cruelty on others. He notes that the Nazis, in their quest to dehumanize him, first underwent a process of self-dehumanization fueled by propaganda and indoctrination.
Meyer expresses deep concern about a similar phenomenon occurring in present-day Israel. He is appalled by what he perceives as a lack of empathy among Israelis, leading to the dehumanization of Palestinians. This dehumanization, he argues, is fueled by hatred and prevents Israelis from recognizing any human aspect in their Palestinian counterparts.
“The Zionists have not any right whatsoever to use the Holocaust for any purpose. They have given up everything which has to do with humanity, with empathy, for one thing, the state, the blood and soil. Just like the Nazis”, he says.

English Script:
Hajo Meyer: I saw in Auschwitz that if a dominant group wants to dehumanize others, so as the Nazis wanted to dehumanize me, these dominant group must first be dehumanized in a way themselves, by diminishing their empathy due to propaganda and indoctrination in order to be able to be as cruel as some were. Okay. But the same holds nowadays for Israel. I am appalled about how hateful, how dehumanized, that they do not see any human aspect in any Palestinian anymore. It’s terrible. The Zionists have not any right whatsoever to use the Holocaust for any purpose. They have given up everything which has to do with humanity, with empathy, for one thing, the state, the blood and soil. Just like the Nazis. I was educated. I learned at school about blood and soil, and that’s exactly their idea too. Humans do not play a role. Judaism, as I learned it, is highly, highly ethical. And so you cannot connect Zionism with highly ethical. You can only connect the words aggressive, oppressive, stealing, robbing with Zionism, but not highly ethical. Zionism and Judaism are contrary to each other, because Judaism is universal and humane, and Zionism is exactly the opposite. It is very narrow, very nationalistic, racist, colonialist and all this. There is no national Judaism. There is Zionism and there’s Judaism, and they are completely different.
