Someone whose job it is to faciliate remembering a genocide calls a group of people "fundamentally evil". Must have not ever walked into the museum.
Nazi talk
The lesson of the 1940s appears to boil down to "Better to give than receive". The sentiment of the moment - that genocide is an abomination we should prevent at all costs - has been replaced by the fascist insistence that my tribe must slaughter your tribe before yours can do the same to me.
I think that most acts of repudiation of the Holocaust and the actions of the Nazis were anchored in the mindset of the 40s and 50s, which was deeply Racist, hence why they're all about the victims of a specific race (conveninently ignoring that the Roma people as well as those who had disabilities were targetted just as hard by the Nazis).
This stuff basically calcified a certain view of the World, even whilst the World kept on evolving away from viewing people first and foremost as "ethnics".
This would explain things like Germany politicians supporting yet another Genocide along racial lines and justifying that support by the race of the genociders, the support of Israel by the very same countries which supported the white colonialism in Appartheid South Africa and Holocaust rememberances completelly ignoring the victimization of people who are not seen as part of a "white non-christian" ethnicity.
The modern learning of the lessons of the Holocaust would've been "Never again shall this be done to anybody", but the 1940s/50s learning which is the one which clearly (in light of the actions of Israel and the support for it in many countries) ended up encoded in most Rememberances and is still interiorized by many was instead the Racist version: "Never again shall this be done to the Jewish People"
Trustee of US Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation says Fascists were ‘Misunderstood’ and a ‘Lost Cause’
The real question for me is what are the rest of the trustees saying and planning to do about this. A bad apple spoils the bunch.
Virtually every Holocaust museum invites Israeli leaders for events. Their CEO's are hand picked top-Zionists comparing Hamas to the Nazis etc. It is a difficult subject to criticize because once you start criticizing Holocaust museums you are walking on worlds sharpest eggshells.
Sure, but the bar is extremely super low, a simple "we do not agree with him", would do a LOT of heavy lifting.
Only for cowards tbph. Watch this: "it is extremely immoral and hypocritical for the person running a genocide museum to practice dehumanization and genocidal incitement against any other people, and undermines the credibility of the entire institution, abusing the memory of the victims and survivors of one genocide as a means to commit the exact same crimes against another people."
What are they going to do, call me an "antisemite"? I'm happy being on the bad side of anyone dumb or evil enough to believe something that stupid. When you have the people running society scared to "walk on eggshells" to tell the truth, they do something a thousand times more shameful - inviting in absolute evil, totalitarianism, genocide.
He sees Palestinians as untermenschen.
Clearly the lessons learned weren't about how what the Nazis did should never have been done to anybody but instead were about how they should never have done it to those of a specific ethnicity.
PS: Curiously, even though the Roma people (more widelly known as Gypsies) were equally targetted alongside the Jewish people by the Nazis, you almost never see them mentioned in official talk about and rememberances of the victims of the Holocaust.
Hope he dies alone and in pain
Typical zionist mentality and behavior.
"It's only Racist if it's against members of the 'Chosen people', not if it's against members of 'human animal' ethnicities"
“Never again” went over their fucking heads. I say that as a Jew. Ugh.
Average fundamentalist religeous person behaviour.
a classic case of "when education is not liberating, the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor" (paulo freire).
this is beautiful, thanks
"And here, we see the zionist once again punch himself in the balls."
Imagine being less qualified for a job. Actual Nazi in charge of a genocide museum.
Religion poisons everything, and everyone it touches gets poisoned.
