Apologizing for publicly being against genocide is pathetic.
“Disgusting” was the word that crossed my mind, but “disgustingly pathetic” better captures the vibe.
Try “repugnant” on for size… if it doesn’t work for you just pass it on to someone else.
So many fucking pathetic people and institutions these days.
Being against genocide is now anti-Semitic.
When will they realize that it’s shit like this that makes actual anti-semitism a danger for the Jewish Diaspora?
All they are doing is making things more dangerous for Jewish people.
Zionists don’t actually care about Jewish people
Yeah wtf is going on in this world 😞
Also I do find it funny the image has one arm on the left barely holding the others, like it was always ready to not support them… ironic
Dang, even the fucking Holocaust museum won’t stand up against another holocaust.
The dusty crater that used to be the site of a dead horse that used to be my faith in humanity just took another beating.
What’s particularly suspect is how little coverage this story has got anywhere; I tried both Google and bing to fact check OP and the only sources for it are social media posts. Literally no actual journalistic source on the first page of search seems to have picked this up.
Journalism does tend to lag over the weekend. Idk if that’ll make a difference here though, with Palestinians being so consistently dehumanized by Western media.
Dont breathe that in, that’s horse dust…
OK that’s the end of my joking, this is fucking terrible and everyone should collectively feel worse for this fucking failure. It does not lessen the fucking holocaust to wish no one else suffers the same!
The whole purpose of the Holocaust museums are now bunk, time to replace them with something meaningful I guess.
This is literally worse than nothing. It takes until the 2nd paragraph of their corporate-sanitized message before we read:
WE RECENTLY POSTED AN ITEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA […] THAT WAS EASILY OPEN TO MISINTERPRETATION […]
"NEVER AGAIN” CAN’T ONLY MEAN NEVER AGAIN FOR JEWS
Actually, that seems to be extremely difficult to misinterpret. It’s a very simple, powerful message, that’s actually not political at all. To let others make it political, you’re really saying " never again, unless it’s hard".
So they’re basically saying, “we were wrong, never again means only never again for Jews.”
Actually, I think we should be allowed a little genocide, as a treat.
I guess them being a holocaust museum doesn’t need to imply they are against it. Good to know who they actually are.
In fact, it would make them rather unusual. For example, the Corvette museum is pretty pro-Corvette.
I suspect some wealthy donator made a few phone calls.
So “Never again, only for jews”. got it.
The ADL is a supremacist hate group that equates Zionism with Judaism. Anti-semitism and holocaust are tools for them to enhance Zionism, and there is certainly overlap between supremacism and religion. The ADL/Supremacism influence over Holocaust museum is imaginable, and now obvious. Historical victimhood as a propaganda link to perpetual supremacy is an effective tool. Most minds cannot distinguish between sympathy support for non-genocide and support for supremacism.
It’s been a lot of time now, the victim card smells like rotten flesh. Only the now exists to me.
They could have presented a neutral opinion in the vein of “this is not a statement on the situation, however we are proud to have created respectful discourse”
This shit is pathetic.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Does this mean they actually think the opposite?
You can have a little genocide, as a treat.
Yes, absolutely. The people running the Holocaust Museum LA are fascists who support genocide. We should spread the word far and wide so that it is understood by everyone.
Unless they disprove it by putting the message back.
They didn’t mean for it to apply to the current genocide, just the hypothetical future genocide that would never happen in real life.
Well I guess factually “never again” wouldn’t make sense since the genocide is actively taking place.
And how can that be “misinterpreted”?
Basically the house of cards can fall at any second so they need everyone to tow the party line that Palestinians deserve what they are getting.
No, no, we just don’t want to have it be misinterpreted that we posted all genocide should be rejected. The current situation in the middle east, if it is or isn’t a genocide, does not excuse us for taking the position that all genocide is unacceptable.
Painting with broad strokes that all genocide is wrong is insensitive to those who may have different opinions about the propriety of genocide, and those people are worthy of including in our circle of valued partners and members, who can Never Again tolerate genocide unless we need to on social media.
It means they think whatever their donors pay them to think. I’m guessing they threw a hissy fit and some random employee will be blamed for this even though normal people would not find it even slightly controversial.
Vocabulary time!
“Pusillanimous” is a word that means “contemptibly timid,” and which applies to a disappointing number of people and institutions these days. Like the Holocaust Museum LA.
so they rlly wanted to virtue signal values unless they become relevant? AND THATS THE APOLOGY?
“We want to be inclusive except when there are victims that we don’t want to include.”
Power Rangers!
