What the Nazis did to the Jewish people, the Jewish people are doing to the Palestinians. The phenomenon is sometimes referred to as the "cycle of victimization" or "victim-to-perpetrator cycle." It highlights the unsettling pattern where individuals or groups who have suffered persecution may, under certain circumstances, adopt similar oppressive behaviors towards others.

In the context of what is unfolding before our eyes, the term "transgenerational trauma" or "intergenerational trauma" might be relevant. This concept refers to the transmission of trauma from one generation to another, potentially leading to a cycle of victimization where those who were initially oppressed become perpetrators in subsequent generations.

The responsibility lies with humanity for not adequately addressing the psychological harm inflicted on the formerly oppressed, now turned oppressors. By neglecting their healing and well-being, we failed to break the cycle of transgenerational trauma, allowing the manifestation of past mistreatment to influence their behaviour. Acknowledging and addressing the root causes of trauma is crucial for fostering empathy and preventing the perpetuation of harm across generations.
