This guy perfectly describes the whole Israel issue and other than the narratives I grew up and was brainwashed with, what he states makes sense. But it is still shocking to realize that so many things are not what I have been told. Like the many Holocaust Memorials, we have in Germany are not as I believed institutions to maintain our culture of remembrance, built to analyze, understand and hopefully recognize and prevent any development that might lead to a second holocaust, no these institutions are exactly the opposite. They Have only one purpose: to keep the forever victim status of the Jews and consequently justify the genocide of the Palestinians and Germany’s support for it. Here some quotes from Chris Hedges: The genocide in Gaza has exposed the weaponization of the Holocaust as a vehicle not to prevent genocide, but to perpetuate it, not to examine the past, but to manipulate the present. Nearly all Holocaust scholars who see in any criticism of Israel a betrayal of the Holocaust have refused to condemn the genocide in Gaza. Not one of the institutions dedicated to researching and commemorating the Holocaust have drawn the obvious historical parallels or decried the mass slaughter of Palestinians. Holocaust scholars, with a handful of exceptions, have exposed their true purpose, which is not to examine the dark side of human nature, the frightening propensity we all have to commit evil, but to sanctify Jews as eternal victims and absolve the ethnationalist state of Israel, of the crimes of settler colonialism, apartheid, and genocide. The hijacking of the Holocaust, the failure to defend Palestinian victims because they are Palestinian has imploded the moral authority of Holocaust studies and Holocaust Memorials. They've been exposed as vehicles not to prevent genocide, but to perpetrate it, not to explore the past, but manipulate the present. Any tepid recognition that the Holocaust may not be the exclusive property of Israel and its Zionist supporters is swiftly shut down. The Holocaust Museum LA deleted an Instagram post that read, "Never again can't only mean never again for Jews." After a backlash in the hands of Zionists, never again means precisely that. Never again only for Jews.
