The removal of Israelis from the Gaza Strip, I countered, didn't stop rocket attacks on Sderot. She shrugged. No, it didn't, she acknowledged. Do you realize, I said, that innocent people like herself, including those for and against the Israeli settlement of the West Bank, had perished in the Palestinian suicide bombings... a doctor with his daughter on the night before her wedding; a grandmother with grandchildren; brothers and sisters; whole families. Her eyes teared. And how dare you use Etty Hillesum's writings to illustrate Palestinian suffering, I pressed on, in broken Italian/French? "My parents were in those camps, too." Any equation between what happened there and the plight of the Palestinians is spurious. She nodded and whispered, "Hillesum's diary is so humane." "But we are the same Jews," I countered. The exhibit was part of a "festival of solidarity" against Israel's occupation of the West Bank, which, according to a flier advertising the event and posted on the door of the church, also had the backing of the local Catholic diocese and the City Hall of Pienza. There wasn't even the vaguest attempt to portray an "Israeli side" to the story, no photograph of a suicide bombing aftermath, say. Moreover, the "Jew" depicted in the flier, which included a slide show, was not an Israeli soldier but rather a man with a kippa on his head praying at the Western Wall, as if Judaism itself was responsible for the Israeli occupation of the territories. Making matters worse, each photograph was accompanied by a quotation from the diary of Etty Hillesum, a Dutch Jew and law student who kept a diary from March 1941 until her deportation in 1943 to Auschwitz, where she perished with her parents and brother. Hillesum's diaries chart her feelings about God as a persecuted individual under Nazi rule.
