That said, this has provoked an interesting debate on how to handle on the one hand the struggle against zionism and the struggle against racism. It is impossible even to question if the jews were victims earlier. However, does that justify current zionist racism? I think not, and that creates a contradiction which is not as easy as one should think in the first place. When the victims of 60 years ago now are the oppressors - how should one get this picture through without pissing of either side? Personally I've started to think about using another day than Kristallnacht as a day for protests against racism. Because one thing should be undisputed - you cannot ally with racists to fight racism. That would be like fucking for virginity.
