Both the Nazis and Hamas Murdered Jewish Children

(JNS) Dr. Fiamma Nirenstein - The killing of Jewish children underscores the persistent and brutal nature of antisemitic violence, revealing its continued threat in the modern era. The Nazi ideology led to the systematic murder of 1.5 million Jewish children during World War II and the Holocaust, many slaughtered in their mothers' arms or subjected to brutal conditions in concentration and death camps. The echoes of this horror resonate today as Hamas targets Jewish children. The response from international organizations and human-rights groups has been tepid at best. While antisemitic violence surges across the Western world, many institutions remain silent. Unlike during the Holocaust, modern-day Israel has a strong military and the determination to fight for its survival and the survival of the Jewish people. Israel refuses to be deterred in its mission to eliminate Hamas. While Palestinian children tragically perish in war, they are collateral victims of Hamas's strategy, whereas Jewish children are deliberately targeted.

She served as vice president of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the Italian Chamber of Deputies.
