Torah perspective

A German court permits an encampment commemorating the Nakba in a park where Jews were rounded up for deportation to their deaths. This is not merely a clash of narratives but a profound inversion of moral memory. The Torah teaches that forgetting is a form of destruction, "Remember what Amalek did to you" is a command because memory grounds identity and justice. When the ground of Jewish suffering is repurposed to frame Jewish sovereignty as the crime, the very architecture of historical truth is dismantled. The psalmist says "If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill." Forgetting the specificity of Jewish pain does not create peace; it hollows out the moral capacity to distinguish victim from aggressor. True remembrance is not competitive, it demands holding both the Jewish tragedy and the Palestinian suffering in their proper order, without collapsing one into the other.
