NO — TO ESTABLISHING A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN GAZA
We, citizens of Israel, can no longer remain silent in the face of the plan to establish a so-called “humanitarian city” in Gaza — a plan that, in reality, constitutes the creation of a concentration camp, designed to initiate transfer and ethnic cleansing.
This plan violates the fundamental values of the State of Israel and basic human ethics. We demand that it be stopped immediately.

למה זה חשוב?
Mr. Prime Minister,
You have the power to make a completely different decision than the one proposed by the Minister of Defense regarding the so-called "humanitarian city."
As the son of a historian, did no echoes of the not-so-distant past of the Jewish people come to mind?
"Humanitarian city" is Orwellian language for a concentration camp.
And you, Mr. Prime Minister, are on the verge of ordering its establishment.

Is that truly what you want to do?
To be remembered in history alongside the worst and most conscienceless leaders of the world?

Mr. Prime Minister,
I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and I grew up hearing firsthand about their experiences. I know what it means to be imprisoned and to survive in a concentration camp.
My parents endured the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust. They came to Israel seeking refuge — but also hoping to live in a country that would be morally different from the one that destroyed their lives.
Philosopher Hannah Arendt, while covering the Eichmann trial, coined the term “the banality of evil.” Like many, she expected to see a monstrous, demonic figure. Instead, she found an ordinary, colorless man. The term was her way of bridging the gap between his outward normalcy and the unimaginable crimes he committed.
I urge you not to adopt inhumane measures that will once again give rise to the use of that term — this time in reference to us: to Israel, and to its citizens.
The people of Gaza — the vast majority of whom are not combatants — have been living through hell since the cursed day of October 7th, 2023, which was a terrible tragedy for us all.
They are displaced, forced to live in tents, walk miles for food, bombed, cut off from medical care. They count tens of thousands of dead, hundreds of thousands wounded.
Please do not force them into a “humanitarian city” that will be the very opposite of its deceptive name — a crowded prison, unfit for human life.
Do not stain the name of Israel with a profoundly immoral act.
Do not give an order over which a black flag already flies.
“Never Again” is a moral imperative — not only for Jews, but for all of humanity.
