The relevance of the "Holocaust" is diminished every time it is used as a justification or reason for another act of aggression by Israel against Palestinians or some other neighbour.
The "Holocaust Card" has been played by successive Israeli governments since 1948 in order to generate a collective guilty conscience in the outside world with the purpose of giving credibility to the "right to self defence" argument, so favoured with numerous government spokespersons. As former Israeli Minister Shulamit Aloni stated in an interview on Democracy Now," We always pull out the holocaust/anti-semitic trump card ". (You Tube video). Using the Holocaust as a justification for aggression against others is an insult to those who died during the Nazi period, be they Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, or any other of the ethnic groups, or the mentally or physically handicapped people.
The invasions of Lebanon, in 1978 and 2006, the invasion of Gaza 2008/2009 Cast lead and the killing of thousands of Palestinians which continues even today, the continuing barbaric blockade of Gaza and the on going occupation of land grabbed by the Israeli's in the 1967 aggression, are indicative of a nation driven by the objective of the creation of a "Greater Israel" using ethnic cleansing, apartheid and State terrorism as tools to achieve that end.
The "Holocaust" has become no more than a justification for aggression.
