Nakba and the Holocaust on the Scales of History Through the Eyes of the Conflicting Parties
Abstract
This article considers the problem of a biased attitude of pro-Israel communities to human disasters, depending on the nation of people whom the disaster has occurred with, as well as the attitude towards their own catastrophe — the Holocaust as having no historical counterparts. Such position of Israeli and pro-Israel authors causes inhumane attitude towards other human tragedies, especially if they relate to the party who has become hostile to Israel by force of circumstances.
