Apparently some people need an explanation on Jews should be mentioned when commemorating the Holocaust: Hitler created a genocide machine against the Jewish people across Europe and North Africa, murdering 6M out of a population of 9.5M (in Europe).
The Jews were 1% of Germans
He used existing Jew hatred and added dehumanizing & false accusations to rally the support of regular citizens who turned away and turned in their Jewish neighbors. The smokestacks of Aushweitz were in plain view of the town.
Cattle cars stuffed with Jews were transported. 1.5 million children were slaughtered because they were Jews. And before that we were cramed into ghettos & systematically stripped of all rights. Jewish stores destroyed, synagogues torched, Jews mowed down in the street.
And before that we were kicked out of schools, removed from faculty & positions, beaten on the streets for being different, told that we were the reason the economy was poor and people were suffering.
Every single death of innocents is tragic. It was the Jews who were systemically targeted for erasure. We were mass slaughtered, our babies slammed into walls & used as target practice. We were burnt alive in a cold and efficient extermination machine. And it started with words.
We see these words now and we see Jews beaten up on the streets of London, New York, & even Jerusalem. No we aren't called Christ killers anymore, but we are called Zionists, globalists, and blamed for the world's ills. Jews are taken hostage in synagogues in 2022
Why say Jew when talking about the Holocaust? Because words matter. Incitement matters. And Corbyn is one of the worst inciters So, no, I won't let you "all lives matter" the Holocaust & ignore the systemic genocide of European jewelry.
I was raised at the knees of Survivors. You erasing their pain, the murder of their spouses & children bc they were Jews is not acceptable. I owe it to them, to my children and yours. A genocide of Jews took place. 6 Million of us were murdered. We won't let you whitewash history

People, the roads into Jerusalem and the Gush are closed. Please stay home
Absolutely nuts. People were stuck overnight in wedding halls and in their cars! Some used tablecloths for blankets and are still there!
But @UnitedHatzalah rescued one bride & groom and got them home for their wedding night.

A thread on antiJewish hate & accusations of Islamophobia:
There's a concept in Judaism that someone who tries to cancel another person is using his own flaws to cancel them. Meaning they are accusing the other person of having the flaws/poor behavior that they themselves have
When I hear people from San Francisco to Ramallah calling to "keep an eye on Jews" saying we are duplicitous, "the enemy", essentially, that no Jew is a good Jew, I see this in action. They accuse us of the things they are/believe. They incite against us while claiming we incite
They claim we're against them, that our institutions are against them... all while committing their institutions to be against us. They espouse anti-racism while being relentlessly racist. And when we dare speak out for ourselves, accuse us of Islamophobia to protect themselves

Absolutely incredible to see our history come to life. You "know" but to see & touch & to put in perspective really solidifies the fact that our people & this land are intricately linked for most of human history. The land of Israel and the people of Israel

There is no point in having a conversation with people who truly believe you have no right to exist. No history, no context, no truth matters when the only answer they find acceptable is your exile or your death.

I need to remember this.
People who don't know the history of this country, of this nation, of this conflict, who ignore the fact that we live in a miniscule dot of land amongst dozens & dozens of Arab & Muslim states who actively work towards our destruction despite sharing ancestry have no credibility
Walking through my town and seeing so many Jews from MENA, laughing at the insanity of calling Jews white. We are from here. We will stay here.

Thread (that may be a bad idea):
I guess for some reason I think this needs to be said so here goes. I again had a conversation last night, brief of course, with someone who couldn't understand why I wouldn't vote Trump.
He said "I'm not voting for my kids grandfather, I'm voting for someone to run a country. So he's a complete horror show of a person but he does good things for the country."
I don't really let these conversations go on because I don't have enough time in my life for this. But I guess I have to say it out loud.
