I'd just like to point out that comparing the current refuge situation with the Holocaust in Germany is morally and factually wrong.
Refugees are 'choosing' to come to Europe. Genuine refugees from the ME who are fleeing in fear of their lives are seeking the safety of Europe, they leave a horrible and unsafe situation striving for a safe life in a stable European society. Many are fleeing ISIS who in actual fact may be compared to the NAZIs for their ruthless violence and fascist ideology. Economic migrants from NA are coming to Europe expecting to come to money, either through honest work or though crime or through benefits. On the whole a very large number of migrants are being welcome warmly to Europe, get housing, food and clothing especially in Germany and Sweden. Merkel and many others have welcomed them with open arms and hearts.
Such an unprecedented and disorganised exodus and influx will have an impact on the local population, even more as there is an obvious lack of resources and political leadership and ability to ensure a smooth enough transition. This was not the case with the Jewish citizens in Europe who had been settled and contributed enormously to European societies over centuries. The Holocaust was, in part, the result of ingrained anti-Semitism, economic devastation following WW1, and a prevalent preoccupation with race and racial features which was the science of the day during that period. Jewish people had not been terrorising Europe and killing European to show off their faith. Jewish people also did not expect their faith, their kosher diet, their religious rhythms and sensitivities to be catered for in the European societies they were settled in, they were largely peaceful, productive and well integrated.
Home Secretary Andy Burnham said “He [Cameron] just dismissed desperate people fleeing conflict as a “bunch of migrants” - on Holocaust Memorial Day,” he added.To compare Calais with the Holocaust is morally and facially wrong. The refugees choose to be in Calais, they are offered improved accommodation (improved fem tent city), which many have refused rudely. They refuse to seek asylum in France and settle there (a safe and prosperous country) because they demand to go to the UK. They are not being persecuted cause of their ethnicity. They are not packed on trains to be sent to camps to be killed en masse or to undergo cruel medical experiments. They are not forced to clean the roads with their own toothbrushes. They are not gathered up from their homes and shot simply for being who they are.
It is so very inappropriate and disrespectful to the survivors and surviving families of Holocaust victims to tar these two situations with the same brush.
In actual fact the one community which displays anti-Semitism most consistently and vocally, however, is the Muslim 'community'. (See iran's Holocasut denial, attacks on Jews in Marseilles and elsewhere) uk.businessinsider.com/khamenei-holocaust-remembrance-video-denial-2016-1?r=US&IR=T.
DC referring to 'a bunch of migrants' is neither very smart nor eloquent, however it is political correctness gone mad and dumb to speak of 'dehumanising' language. FFs, such hyperbole. Comparing Calais with the Holocaust is a lazy and offensive argument. In my opinion.
