The Gaza Strip has become like the Warsaw ghetto

WASHINGTON – “The struggle of the Palestinians in Gaza is like the revolt in the Warsaw ghetto”. To draw the parallel is the leader of Hamas Mahmud al Zahar, who in a commentary in the American newspaper Washington Post writes: «Resistance is our only option. The brave Jews of the Warsaw ghetto 65 years ago rebelled. We in Gaza, who live in the largest open-air prison in the world, cannot do less “. Yesterday Zahar met former US president Jimmy Carter in Cairo. For Carter, there can be no peace negotiations without Hamas. His initiative was severely criticized by the White House.
