Maybe we can get a Smithsonian for this too.

Israel is literally going out of their way to make pograms look justified and Hitler not look crazy.

Netanyahu and his ilk will be the reason a second holocaust happens.

Not quite, but they'll probably be a factor (obligatory here's hoping we're wrong on both counts). Israel's conduct in general (this is in no way restricted to a particular faction or part of the Israeli political spectrum) is making antisemitism more mainstream, but the West is due for a fascist takeover and it's not like fascists need much reason to go after Jews.

I hope we are wrong, but it’s not looking like it.

This is like one day a British lobbyist group wake up and starting to sue their ex-colonies for misrepresentation. The amount of delulu one must have to do this deserve to be studied.

Scholars of fascism whose job literally is to study it: Am I a joke to you?

There is nothing more antisemitic than someone that conflates anti-zionism with antisemitism. Those who do believe that an entire race and religion are morally culpable for the actions of an evil government. That's like being racist against Germans today because of what Hitler did in the 30s and 40s.

Oh yeah, I remember the "the other side" at the Holocaust museum...

So we should consider adding Nakba exhibits to Holocaust museums to avoid a one-sided narrative?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 16 points 20 hours ago

For more perspective, throw in the Turkish genocide of the Armenians (where a British journalist first used the word "holocaust" in its modern sense-- the journalist was Winston Churchill) and the Holodomor. And to diversify more, there's Pol Pot's auto-genocide in Cambodia and the Rwanda bloodbath. Maybe also a sideshow on the Serbian aggression against everyone nearby who isn't a Serb.

We'll have to add a bunch of literal Nazi propaganda. And not as examples of vile hatred, but presented seriously as an argument to "both sides" the Holocaust.

No, silly, you have to show the side where the Jews made the Nazis feel bad for gassing them /s

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So only one perspective is allowed?? Why can’t their be multiple views?

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

No, ALL perspectives must be allowed. Unless it would otherwise make Israel look bad, in which case only the Israeli perspective is allowed. Anything else is antisemitic.

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 16 points 23 hours ago

No silly, freedom of speech is only good when people say the thing that agrees with what I already believe

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

a politically one-sided narrative.

Easy to fix, add a single sign 'nothing bad happened'. Big chance you can re-use the next time Israel is featured in an exhibition in your human rights museum.

I dunno, but if anyone comes across the embroidered Ass and Face towels they used to sell in the back of the print version, let me know
