Standing @ Gaza Border Like Visiting Auschwitz: Burmese Genocide Scholar Maung Zarni

The United Nations is warning about widespread human rights abuses in Burma as the military regime intensifies the killings and arbitrary arrests of tens of thousands of civilians since seizing power in a coup over three years ago. A new report from the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights says many of those detained by the Burmese military are children taken from their parents, with dozens of minors dying in custody. “What it paints is an extremely disturbing picture of Burma descending into this human rights abyss. If you’re living there, it’s a complete living hell,” says Burmese scholar, dissident and human rights activist Maung Zarni. He also discusses his recent visit with faith leaders to the West Bank and the border of Gaza, drawing parallels between Burma’s and Israel’s human rights abuses. “Israel has taken the practices and policies of genocide to a whole new level,” says Zarni.

Palestinians in Gaza are confronting an apocalyptic landscape of devastation after more than 15 months of fighting between Israel and Hamas. Mounds of rubble stretch as far as the eye can see in the tiny coastal enclave where built-up refugee camps are interspersed between cities. Critics say Israel has waged a campaign of scorched earth to destroy the fabric of life in Gaza. Israel says its military has been fighting a complex battle in dense urban areas and that it tries to avoid causing undue harm to civilians.
