Cohen added: “When I was brought up learning about the Holocaust and we said ‘never again’, I learnt that this means ‘never again’ for anyone.”
Yeah, that’s what I learned too but it appears that a lot of people were just talking out of the sides of their mouths in order to earn brownie points.

It is easy to be against atrocities in the aftermath, when there is no cost. Most of the time, the weight of “allowed” political opinion, and quite a lot of real public opinion, is at the very least tacitly accepting. If it was otherwise someone would have put a stop to them.
That’s one of the bright spots is that public opinion about Palestine is radically shifting, in a way that will make it hard for Israel to sustain any of this for too much longer I think. Of course that’s of no value to any Gazans who are already dead or about to die, waiting for “progress.”
