Early this morning, I read a piece on Guardian Online about the way the Israelis treat Palestinian children whom they’ve arrested. I was shocked.
Just now I’ve been on Twitter and saw this tweet:
Video shows Israeli interrogators breaking down arrested boy, whose coerced testimony was used against village leaders
There was a link to the video, but it was broken (I wonder how that happened?)
Then I saw a tweet saying it was Holocaust Memorial Day.
I visited the Holocaust Memorial Day website which said that this year’s theme is Speak up, Speak out.
First They Came - Pastor Martin Niemoller
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
Join the dots, dear readers.
