Marek Edelman (anti-racist Jewish Polish cardiologist and last surviving leader of the 1943 Warsaw uprising) in a 2002 letter of solidarity with Palestinian resistance leaders that was addressed to: “commanders of the Palestinian military, paramilitary and partisan operations - to all the soldiers of the Palestinian fighting organisations… In 1943, we fought for the life of Jewish society in Warsaw. We fought solely for life, not for territory and not for national identity ... our weapons were never aimed at a defenseless civilian population. We did not kill women and children… to this day, a partisan struggle in cities has never succeeded anywhere in the world, but the armies we fought against also never won. This war also will not lead to any solution. Once again, blood will be spilled needlessly and people on both sides will lose their lives… we never gambled with our lives. We never sent our soldiers to a certain death; after all, you only live once. A man must not take another's life. It is time for everyone to understand that… [learn from Northern Ireland where] ardent enemies sat round the same table" (David Wilson, “From Albert Einstein to Noam Chomsky: famous Jews who have opposed Israel”, Stop the War Coalition, 12 August 2014: http://www.stopwar.org.uk/index.php/news-comment/1307-from-albert-einstein-to-noam-chomsky-famous-jews-who-have-opposed-israel ; Yair Sheleg, “Letter to “Palestinian Partisans” raises international storm”, Haaretz, 9 August 2002: http://www.haaretz.com/news/letter-to-palestinian-partisans-raises-international-storm-1.37387 ).
