"After the horror of the Holocaust my family strongly supported the Jewish people also with regard to their aspirations to build a national home", wrote Mr Zanoli.
"Over more than six decades I have however slowly come to realize that the Zionist project had from its beginning a racist element in it in aspiring to build a state exclusively for Jews."
Well said!
"The great- great grandchildren of my mother have lost their grandmother, three uncles, an aunt and a cousin at the hands of the Israeli army", added Mr Zanoli.
That's what you really get for saving the life of a Jew... That's the reward? What would a peace metal medal, matter now anymore? How tragic... My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
