PrintCatalonia cancels Holocaust memorial due to Gaza
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- The government of Catalonia canceled a ceremony to memorialize the Holocaust in response to Israel's Gaza operation.
The Spanish autonomous state has been a hotbed of pro-Palestinian public opinion, Ynet reported.
The ceremony marking International Holocaust Remebrance Day on Jan. 27 was canceled as a protest of Israel's three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip, which the local media has compared to Nazi atrocities, according to Ynet.
"Marking the Jewish Holocaust while a Palestinian Holocaust is taking place is not right," a local official told a Barcelona newspaper.
