[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
Women's peace movements in Israel use the Holocaust to inform the way the war in Israel is understood. Their view is in direct contrast to the dominant Israeli understanding of the state of Israel as a necessary defence against real and potential aggression against Jews, with the Holocaust as an argument in defence of state aggression. To these children of Holocaust survivors the moral lesson of the Holocaust is to stop oppression of another people ie Palestinians.
