The Holocaust did not have to lead to Israeli oppression

A cautionary tale about the recently deceased Jewish, Warsaw Ghetto uprising leader Marek Edelman:

Edelman’s life was the stuff of fiction. From fighting in the Ghetto Uprising, escaping via the sewers to the ”˜Aryan’ side of Warsaw, a founder of Solidarity in Poland who was briefly imprisoned by the Stalinists.

Edelman was the living proof that Jews could fight anti-Semitism where they lived and didn’t have to escape to a state mirrored on the principles of their oppressors in someone else’s land in Palestine. Above all he excoriated the Jewish collaborators and traitors who the Zionists had seen fit to call ”˜heroes’. He didn’t fit in with or conform to Zionism’s narrative of the Holocaust.
