Yesterday, a group of "pro-Palestinian" activists staged a protest — and from all places, they chose Auschwitz. From all days, they chose the March of the Living, a solemn day dedicated to remembering the victims of the Holocaust.
Auschwitz is not a political arena. It is a graveyard of over a million souls — a site that demands silence, respect, and remembrance.
In Mecca, at the Kaaba — one of the holiest sites in Islam — political slogans, protests, and flags are strictly forbidden, regardless of the cause. Sacred spaces are meant to transcend politics, to preserve the dignity of human memory and faith. Auschwitz deserves the same reverence.
What took place yesterday was not activism; it was a desecration.
