This past weekend, the Los Angeles’ Holocaust museum deleted this Instagram post and apologized. It merely stated that ”’Never again’ can’t only mean never again for Jews.”
It went on to say that “Jews were raised to say ‘Never Again.’ That means never again. For anyone,” followed by “Jews must not let the trauma of our past silence our conscience,” and “Standing with humanity does not betray our people. It honors them.”
This is the Age of Absurdity we now live in. One where simply denouncing the killing of innocent people is seen as offensive to certain people. Thus far, Israel has made its genocidal intentions crystal clear to all but the willfully obtuse and sniveling apologists.
Israel has killed thousands, maimed thousands more, and is in the process of literally erasing Gaza off the map. Its crimes are well documented, with Israeli soldiers and politicians posting continuously about it on their own. And yet, there are some who expect us to ignore all of this and accept their apologia for atrocity.
Anti-Zionist Jews and Holocaust survivors have been at the forefront of the movement against Israel’s decades-long system of apartheid and its ongoing genocide in Gaza. This retraction and ridiculous apology is an affront to them.
Never again is an empty platitude unless it applies to ALL human beings. Shame on the LA Holocaust Museum for capitulating to these idiotic objections.
