Naomi Wolf in protest over Gaza ‘genocide’

Feminist and cultural critic Naomi Wolf has has walked out of synagogue in protest at the lack of acknowledgement of what she has described as the “genocide in Gaza”.

Wolf, a prominent critic of Israeli foreign policy, made the revelation in a Facebook posting in response to people who were questioning her criticism of the latest ground invasion in Gaza.

AFP reports that more than 630 Palestinaians – including many families – have been killed since Israel launched the ground and aerial assault 15 days ago.

Wolf said she made the impassioned statement “because I am the granddaughter of a family half wiped out in a holocaust and I know genocide when I see it”.
