Q&A: 'What happened in Israel on October 7 was a slave revolt' [1]

['Paul Salvatori']

Date: 2023-12

Turner by the way was religious, a fanatic just like Hamas. Similarly, slavery abolitionist John Brown imagined himself the instrument of God's will, and he had that crazed look in his eyes. And guess what? He's among the most honored figures in American history. In fact, he's probably one of the only figures after whom a song was written, “John Brown's Body”. And that was sung by the Union Army troops during the Civil War: “John Brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave…”

TRT World: You’ve referred in this interview and elsewhere to Gaza as a “concentration camp”. Some might take exception to that?

NF: Well, we need to start off with the important distinction between concentration camps and death camps. Some of the concentration camps in the Holocaust were both concentration camps and death camps, for example Auschwitz and Majdanek. But then there were separate camps like Treblinka and Chelmno – they were strictly death camps. In the case of Gaza, however, the distinction is collapsing. Israel has announced that it will not allow any food, water, fuel into the occupied territory.
