Tonight, I attended an award dinner at the Virginia Holocaust Museum. My hostess escaped from Germany when she was seven years old, and has forgotten nothing of her experiences growing up in Germany. Through her, I met two other Holocaust survivors, both from Poland. The banquet hall was filled to overflowing with hundreds of people, many of whom paid $150 a plate to honor a man whose speech was filled with the one-word message he had for us all: Remember.
British Muslims would rather we forget. (Hat tip: Joel G.)
ADVISERS appointed by Tony Blair after the London bombings are proposing to scrap the Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day because it is regarded as offensive to Muslims.
They want to replace it with a Genocide Day that would recognise the mass murder of Muslims in Palestine, Chechnya and Bosnia as well as people of other faiths.
Way to make us think you’re not anti-Semitic, asshats. No, it’s just that you’re anti-Zionist, right?
Liars.
As I said on my blog, will Genocide include those in Darfur and Armenia, you know the ones perpetrated by Muslims? Or will that be offensive too.
Its stuff like this that makes me lose my faith in humanity. Such incredible hatred for a group of people that is totally inoffensive. Heck, even the Zionists only ask for a tiny strip of land that is smaller than most US states. Why do so many people have such hate? Why arent they ashamed?
Thanks for the hat tip. I give the U.K. two generations before it becomes Islamic.
Doug,
There seems to be something about armed Jews defending themselves against genocide that makes many other people nervous, and some hysterical. Can’t imagine why.
