Well According to the first reports (T.LY/MHWV5) The Polish government said that the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, was going to arrest, if he attended the 80th anniversary of the release of the Nazi concentration camp/extermination in Auschwitz (Oświęcim in Poland) by the Soviet troops next 27 January, thus complying with its legal obligations and the international arrest warrant issued in November by the International Criminal Court (CPI), Warsaw soon disaggregated their statements (t.ly/ecygb).
Although there has been no request for Netanyahu to attend the event – a Robust Israeli delegation
-, the unconditional eagerness of Poland, signature of CPI, to guarantee its security
and impunity in Auschwitz must be understood as the best symbol (t.ly/bfhoj) of the ethical collapse of the dominant liberal order and the destruction of the entire building of International Law and Human Rights, raised after World War II in reaction to Holocaust and buried today in the rubble of Gaza (T.LY/U8CST), where more than 47 thousand 283 Palestinians have been killed (a surely underestimated figure) in the punitive operation
From Israel against Hamas marked by war crimes, humanity and genocide, according to experts (T.LY/XGC-3, t.ly/kd__e), UN agencies and organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Even so, Netanyahu’s apparent absence in Auschwitz The pending order of CPI, but not to any Israeli politician – must be considered good news for those who value the memory of the holocaust. Although, in order to Avoid controversies
this year political speeches will be prohibited (T.LY/EBH8V), Netanyahu, one of the most cynocide abusers and relativizers, was surely going to use this ephemeris to justify the genocide in Gaza (t.ly/duffj).
As in 2015, when in a speech in the Zionist World Congress, openly distorting the history of the Holocaust for Israel’s political interests, it transferred the fault by the Nazis gas chambers to the Palestinians (sic), by ensuring that Hitler did not want to kill the Jews
but only to expel them, and that was the great muftí of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, the Palestinian nationalist leader, who He sowed the idea of burning them all
(t.ly/v_kj2).
While it is easy to call this type of cheeky review as simple outburst
– As at the time, in effect, these have been treated, equally unpunished, statements of Netanyahu -, the genocide in Gaza, for which the best parallel is not Auschwitz, the mechanized extermination and industrial
but – it has a segral reason – the genocide of the Herero and the Nama of the early twentieth century perpetrated by the Germans in Namibia in reaction to the massacre of the white colonizers by the native population (what does this sound to us … ?) (t.ly/tfzkt), it has been fair for the unstoppable distortion of Auschwitz’s memory from politics.
While the associate with Auschwitz Lema Anymore!
He had in his origins a clear universalist dimension and served to alert about the abuse of the type of power-a position well summarized by the dictum of Włodek Goldkorn, son of survivors and victim of the anti -Semitic persecution in communist Poland in 1968: If Auschwitz does not serve to defend the weakest [las minorías, los migrantes, los colonizados]So what is it for?
Gaza, causing an acute crisis in the studies of genocide (t.ly/_nuw9), showed that memory institutions have been structurally sick
(T.ly/BRP-4) and served only in the defense of Israel and its power.
The distortion and instrumentalization of the Holocaust memory for its part and its parallel Pasterization
In western culture – two intimately interwoven processes of those who alerted scholars such as Arno J. Mayer or Enzo Traverso -, they made it end exclusively at the service of particularism and Israeli ethnonationalist supremacy, the perpetual military occupation of Palestine, the Zionist colonialism , its territorial expansionism, the search for ” Lebensraum Jewish in the Middle East ”(T.LY/A5ODV) and the extermination of all the savages and the human beasts
(T.LY/M8MW-), the same genocidal impulses as, also in the name of security
and Self -defense
(T.LY/RW6ZI) ended in the invention
of Auschwitz.
Thinking about the holocaust, Jean-François Lyotard suggested famous that in the same way that an earthquake destroys the instruments used to measure it, the unprecedented crimes of Hitler, when the previous historical acts became irrelevant, destroyed the usefulness of the existing instruments to measure same.
Although Carlo Ginzburg, a fierce enemy of all the historical relativism of deconstructionism, rejected this assertion, pointing out that the destruction of memory, together with its rescue and preservation, is a continuous process that prevailed that the Auschwitz catastrophe
destroy the instruments to measure it ( The thread and the footprintsp. 325-326), it can be argued that Gaza genocide, intentionally triggered by Netanyahu (T.LY/EK3M8) – And facilitated by the United States and much of Europe -, in effect, at least for the moment, both international law, the usefulness of Auschwitz’s memory, as well as the tools to measure to it (t.ly/8pyed).
