Official laments unlearned lessons from Holocaust in Syria gas attack

Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon invokes the Holocaust in expressing “profound indignation” at the suspected chemicals weapons attack on a rebel-held town in northern Syria that killed at least 58 civilians earlier today.

“Children gassed in Syria. 72 years after the Shoah. A feeling of profound indignation. Has humanity not learnt a thing??” Emmanuel Nahshon tweets.

Images posted on social media in the aftermath of the attack showed motionless bodies of nearly a dozen children piled on a wooden cart, sparking widespread outrage.

Children gassed in #Syria. 72 years after the #Shoah . A feeling of profound indignation. Has humanity not learnt a thing??
