TEL AVIV, September 1, 2011 (WAFA) - Sygmunt Bauman, renowned Jewish sociologist, compared the Separation Wall to the walls surrounding the Warsaw Ghetto in which hundreds of thousands of Jews perished in the Holocaust, said Haaretz newspaper Thursday.

The daily reported on Bauman's interview with the Polish weekly “Politika,” where he accused Israel of “taking advantage of the Holocaust to legitimize unconscionable acts.”

“Israeli politicians are terrified of peace, they tremble with fear from the possibility of peace, because without war and without general mobilization, they don't know how to live,” he added.
