Seems to me this Belgian socialist was right. It's in the same spirit  as 
veterans of the Warsaw ghetto rebellion and other antifascist  fighters who 
have said "keep your hands off our legacy. WE fought  fascism and militarist 
aggression, YOU (the Zionists) are reproducing  it.

This Belgian socialist minister cannot make the
distinction between Zionist and Jewish, either. Less
dramatic, but the same dynamic going on:


Belgian minister booed over Mideast speech

BRUSSELS (EJP)--- A ceremony organised on Thursday to
protest against the desecration of a memorial for
Holocaust victims was disrupted when Belgian Defence
minister referred to the killing of civilians in  
the conflict in Lebanon in his speech.

Socialist Minister André Flahaut was speaking before a
crowd of 500 mainly Jewish people, who had gathered at
the vandalised monument. ?This Memorial reminds us of
the futility and cruelty of war, of all wars, which
first of all affect innocent civilians,? he said.
