Haim Bresheeth, an Israeli academic and filmmaker living in London and the son of Polish survivors of Auschwitz and Belsen-Bergen, told MEE he believed the memory of the Holocaust had been "annexed" by Israel as a key element in the country's Zionist ideology which he said had been used to justify apartheid and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians long before the current conflict.

"The calculated abuse of the Holocaust by Zionism is one of the great crimes against humanity. It's a stain on the history of the Holocaust," he said.

Stephen Kapos, an 87-year-old child survivor originally from Hungary, told MEE he was speaking out in “protest against the use of the Holocaust experience by Israel as cover for what they’re perpetrating right now”, and said he believed Israel’s actions would lead to worsening antisemitism.
