Well they can't exactly attack him on ideas, 1st hand understanding, morality, historical knowledge etc, so the zionist handbook is always to go low

The moment I heard his surname I cringed (expecting what you are talking about there). I'm not surprised that people are going for the low hanging fruit when they have nothing else they can reach.

I've seen Zionists accuse Gabor Maté of having a family of Kapos, which is why he survived, and ignore the fact the video was literally him explaining the Nazis annihilated whole family.

I'm not on Twitter. What's the issue with his name? What are they losing their minds over?Edit: NVM I figured it out. Would someone be named kapos if they associated with them or held that position?

not sure if the question in your edit is meant to be rhetorical but no its a hungarian surname meaning butcher and has no link etymological or otherwise to the kapos of nazi concentration camps. zionists are just ghouls and kapo is one of their favorite insults for anti zionist jews

It’s harrowing that people like this man can endure antisemitism (he’s 87, he’s been called the k word more than once for sure) and recognize how Israel as a state is damaging to Jews without hating people for opposing Israel in its current configuration. It can’t be an easy thing to do. That takes strength, wisdom, and discernment.

Down with Babylon. Free Palestine. Free the people. Eat the oppressors.

It’s sad to see that even our elders who have survived the holocaust are attacked by these shameful people. Holocaust survivors have been really outspoken about Israel but they are ignored and get tossed aside. It doesn’t matter what age said person was during the holacaust, they still have experience of that time. More experience than anyone of us can have and nothing can take that experience away and diminish it.

1/3 of Holocaust survivors and their families live in poverty, and many Zionist groups outright called them weak for letting it happen. There's a reason many articles call Sho'ah survivors the forgotten jews of Israel.

1:00ish, when he wonders how Israelis after the Holocaust could've become so racist and started lashing out, he talks about the "humiliation they could mete out to others," not "meet". Nevermind. What a Mensch, Mr Kapos.

What a brave man.
It is eye opening to think that Germany would detain or sanction him, a Holocaust survivor, for using the word genocide and his pro Palestine stance.

Is it selection bias or do most holocaust survivors actually oppose the Zionists? I haven't really seen any who support the genocide at all.
