“Hitler won, he made us [Jews] like him”: Harry Potter actress slams “Israel” over Gaza war
Miriam Margolyes, the veteran British-Jewish actress best known for her role as Professor Sprout in the "Harry Potter" films, has vehemently condemned “Israel's” actions in Gaza Strip, stating her "heart is broken" and that "Hitler won" by changing Jewish people.
In a recent statement, Margolyes, who said she was “born in 1941 during the height of the Holocaust”, articulated her distress over the “Israeli” aggression.
"My current big issue? Gaza," Margolyes said in an interview with the British newspaper The Big Issue.
"I feel it particularly because I'm Jewish, because I know how much wickedness and cruelty were meted out to Jews in my lifetime."
The outspoken actress drew a direct parallel between historical persecution of Jews and current events in Gaza.
"I cannot bear to think that my people are doing exactly the same thing to another nation," she stated.
She said that the Palestinian people "were not responsible for the Holocaust, had nothing to do with it. That was a purely European pleasure."
“And so my heart is broken and I think the terrible thing I have to face is that Hitler won. He changed us. He made us like him,” Margolyes declared.
