I posted a link about a children’s art display by Gazan children that was taken down - saying people could sign it. does anyone know why it was taken down? I was just trying to post something about a small gesture people could make.

@Humdingerydoo
So we should deny to Palestinian children that there was a Nakba - we should tell them that their grandparents' accounts of being expelled by force at the hands of the Haganah, Irgun and other Zionist paramilitary organizations are all made up? That it was just inevitable 'movement of people'? Why?

Do you propose that we also downplay the experiences Jewish people suffered at the hands of the Nazis when teaching children about the Holocaust, because it could potentially make Germans uncomfortable?

No, you're right. We should keep teaching them that Jews are all bad and that Israel shouldn't exist 👍🏻

I'm saying teach them about the nakba and also teach them that it wasn't the fault of every Jew or Israeli. Just like all Germans weren't responsible for the Holocaust.

At least Germany has made a point of acknowledging its role in the Holocaust, acknowledging that it was wrong and recognising the tremendous suffering and generational trauma that it caused.

Israel on the other hand, continues to deny the Nakba, to deny the existence of the Palestinians, to perpetuate the lie about 'a land without a people for a people without a land'. Even worse, many of the Israeli politicians currently in power openly say that "that Nakba didn't go far enough" and that they need to "finish the job". These are the same people behind the current assault on Gaza.
Imagine the outrage today if a German politician openly said the Holocaust didn't go far enough.

Perhaps because the art was taken down because it was anti semitic and Jewish people found it offensive?

What made it antisemetic ?

You know Hamas and other terror organisation (and some government officials in other countries) have said that Hitler didn't go far enough, right? They don't exactly hide their opinions.

Anyway, I don't agree with the current Israeli government when it comes to the vast majority of things so I'm not going to defend things they've said. To be honest, I haven't read anything they've said except for various memes people have posted on here so I really don't know anything about it. I'm obviously not going to outright believe every meme sent my way, so I just know what they're accused of saying. And as I said, I don't agree with the things they're being accused of saying so I'm not going to defend it.

Hopefully all the hostages can be released soon so all this devastation has a chance of ending
