Sir Gerald Kaufman, who was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist, said in a 2009 speech:

"My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town, a German soldier shot her dead in her bed.

"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians."
