Jewish Voice For Peace says Israel carrying out 'holocaust' in Gaza

The activist group Jewish Voice for Peace has said Israel is conducting "a holocaust" in the Gaza Strip. 

The left-leaning, anti-Zionist group, has been critical of Israel's offensive on Gaza for months.  

In a statement on Thursday, the group shared a statement from its Rabbinical Council.

"Many of us have parents, grandparents and great-grandparents who survived or perished in Nazi death marches and we have all grown up in the shadow of the Nazi holocaust. The state of Israel is currently perpetrating a holocaust, the deliberate mass slaughter of Palestinian people, with weapons provided by the US," the statement said.
