      And my point is that this isn’t even a landmark celebration year (e.g. 50th, 75th, 100th), whilst we’re in the midst of genocide actively being carried out makes this post feel more like an effort to detract from current crimes.

        Some things really should be remembered annually.

        This is one of them.

            Gotta pump up those numbers. They’re too statistically insignificant so we don’t include them in our global concerns. Also they are probably occuring somewhere in the backwaters of asia or the middle east so they are all terrorists anyway.

        All the more important to remind the genociders that they were the genocidee in living memory.

        This is one of the very last Holocaust Memorial Days with some actual survivors still present. Those who were 16 when they were liberated are 95 now. Not many who were younger then actually survived, and not many who were older then are still alive now.

          Are there Holocaust survivors opposing Israel’s crimes against humanity?

            1. Most victims of the holocaust weren’t Jewish.
            2. Of course there are plenty of Jewish holocaust survivors who are opposed to war crimes in Gaza. They’ve been criticising the Israeli government for longer than you’ve even been aware of this conflict. For example.
            3. You don’t seem to understand what it’s like to survive the holocaust. These are deeply deeply traumatised people who are now being confronted with war again. Plenty of them want to die. Plenty are suffering severe PTSD and flashbacks.

              Ohh… Jewish Voice for Peace consists of descendants of Holocaust survivors.

            Malding genocide supporters coping with the idea that they can’t possibly in the wrong and all decades of this is because of Hamas. Somehow all human beings in Palestine just happened to deserve to die
