In reply to the discussion: CAM (Combat Antisemitism Movement) weekly antisemitism report: 250% surge in Holocaust denial [View all]EdmondDantes_
(2,147 posts)Both sides have chosen horrific violence. And their choice of violence doesn't give us an excuse to do ugly things especially to unrelated people. Whether it was the idiot in Boulder throwing Molotov cocktails or the group of Jewish men trying to run down what they thought was a Palestinian woman in New York.
It's absolutely understandable to feel angry about Israel's actions and judge the country for them, but it doesn't justify threatening passengers on a cruise ship.
That said the group in the OP is playing loose with things. Pointing out that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza isn't Holocaust denial, and claiming a 250% increase in Holocaust denialism using that and a total of 7 incidents so they went from 3 to 7 or similar doesn't exactly match the dramatic headline. If they don't like the comparison between the Holocaust and what Israel is doing in Gaza, that's just being unwilling to look in the mirror honestly.
