I couldn’t see another thread on this but if there is, let me know.

AIBU to be absolutely outraged about the report on the liberation of Auschwitz of GMB without one mention of the fact they were Jewish people who were killed?

What the hell is going on in this country where we can’t even speak of the victims of the greatest atrocity ever taken place in this world?

Jews they were Jews.

Do tell, how should we describe the 10s of thousands of deaths of civilians, mostly children by Israeli bombs, not to mention 10s of thousands more left with life changing injuries? Membership of the Israeli Government have actually said that Palestinians should be cleared from their land, that other countries should take them, so Jewish settlers can take their land (they already harass, shoot and kill Palestinians to do so). Is objecting to this genocide what you call “fetishising Gaza”?

Please revert to the CITME board not this thread that is specifically about the Holocaust and GMB news anchor omitting the six million Jews in her bulletin yesterday.
Thank you 🙏

I'm seeing a lot of usernames here who regularly post anti-Israel rhetoric on the Conflict in the Middle East section

There always are, @PurpleChrayn
A certain mindset fetishises Gaza, though if you scratch the surface it often happens that their knowledge stretches no further than poor "brown victims" / nasty evil west

It's also why MN isn't always the most thoughtul forum for discussing this topic, but fortunately others are available

Protesting about the unfair treatment of settled Palestinians is not horrific or hate filled. Many Jews themselves have spoken out against it.

But this is not the thread for that discussion. There are more than plenty of those on CITME.

@Aftergloww Bibi can’t get away with it just as easily so he has to disguise it under “but terrorism!!”.

please can you explain what you mean. This doesn’t make sense.

Some estimates put the deaths of people other than Jews at 6 to 8 million

Show quote history

But as I pointed out up thread the six million Jews were made up ENTIRELY of one ethnicity/religion. The 6 - 8 million were made up of many others including Romany , PoC, homosexuals, disabled people etc.

Halbiiamz · 28/01/2025 09:50

Exactly. But we are not doing that. We are allowing these horrific hate filled "pro-palestine" matches in our cities each week where cowardly people with their faces covered chant anti-Semitic phrases and wave terrorist flags and nothing seems to be done. We let hate camps be set up in university campuses making Jewish students unable to attend their classes. Even on this thread about the Jewish people being omitted from the holocaust we have people popping up with " but Palestine" which is not even nearly any sort of genocide but a war started by Gaza's government after the most horrific murder of Jewish people since the Holocaust. Never again is now and we must all speak up.

German concentration camps killed 11 million people, of whom 6 million were Jews. Other people were involved, 😔

No, history is not repeating itself. Israel is not attempting to wipe out all Palestinians and eradicate their culture. The Holocaust was not triggered by Jews launching a terrorist attack on Germany. Hitler was not responding to threats to wipe Germany off the map. How can you not see the differences?

No it is not. You clearly do not know your history.

The only reason it’s not repeating itself yet is because Bibi can’t get away with it just as easily so he has to disguise it under “but terrorism!!”.

This is a thread about the Holocaust. Coming on here to defend an antisemitic thread is sick.

If you actually can't get into your head why some antisemitic cunt marching through a city holding a sign telling a particular ethnic group to go back to where they came from is intimidating amd scary then yeah it is.

That is really odd. Especially the “6 million people plus other groups”. And then naming the other groups.

It was 6 million Jews. If they want to acknowledge that the Nazis targeted other groups too, that’s fine. But to hide the anti-semitism is odd. It was an awful atrocity and should be highlighted as such.

The whole 'final solution' was predicated on the extermination of the Jews of Europe. Raging anti-semitism was the very core and modus operandi of Nazism. But Yes, other 'undesirables' and opponents were killed too; but Hitler imagined tha it was the Jews who were responbsible for all of Germany's woes. He thought they were responsible for everything bad that was happening in Germany. Everything was a Jewish plot.
