Fmr Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz laments to Jewish Federation that people are finding content from "Al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes" on social media and seeing videos of "the carnage in Gaza." Holocaust education has backfired in part as people see Palestinians as Jews' victims, she adds. "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people." (The lesson they were supposed to get is that it gives Israel the right to commit genocide in perpetuity.)

Mahmoud Khalil: “Israel is waging a genocide in the name of the Jewish people.” After narrowly being deported for REPEATEDLY LYING on his visa applications, Khalil is back on the streets, now claiming his speech does not promotes antisemitism. Here he is portraying the defensive war against Hamas - a group he FULLY supports - as a “genocide in the name of the Jewish people.” That’s EXACTLY the rhetoric that promotes the antisemitism and the attacks we are witnessing against Jews in America.

CEO of the Australian Jewish Association, Robert Gregory was asked: “why their organisation appears to be furthering antisemitism by presenting monolithic views of Jewish people?” He replied: ‘It’s quite strange that a committee member is attacking a Jewish person at an inquiry on antisemitism.’ Always the victim—even when merely being asked a question.

'People try to narrow down a definition so that their specific genocide is not a genocide.' As the war in Gaza rages on, Alonso Gurmendi warns against 'reducing the scope' of what constitutes genocide, as 'arguably, a lot of the Holocaust' wouldn't be categorised as one.

The Holocaust was a genocide based on Jewish blood, not belief. Even Jews who were secular or converted to Christianity were murdered under antisemitic regimes like Nazi Germany. Antisemitism has always treated Jews as a race, even when Jews did not define themselves that way. Antisemitism laws were created not to shield Judaism from theological criticism, but to prevent racial hate, incitement, and genocide. Islamophobia includes criticism of Islamic doctrines, political Islam, Sharia law, and jihad. Labeling this criticism as “racism” is a way to conflate legitimate scrutiny of ideas with hate. This approach erases the difference between attacking Muslims as people (which is wrong) and critiquing Islam as a political ideology (which must remain free and open). Antisemitism laws protect people, not theology. No one is being arrested for criticizing the Torah or disagreeing with Jewish views. The move to racialize Islam and pass “Islamophobia” laws isn’t about protecting people from harm, it’s about protecting an ideology from examination. That’s dangerous. It allows Islam to advance unchecked, shields oppressive ideas from being challenged, and weaponizes tolerance against open societies. It cheapens real anti-racism efforts, by making criticism of a powerful, global religion into a hate crime.

Is the BBC trying to sever all ties with their Jewish listeners? “Buildings will be illuminated to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, which commemorates the six million people murdered by the Nazi regime.” Jews. It was six million Jews specifically. Even on Holocaust Memorial Day, the BBC cannot bring itself to properly address antisemitism. It is no wonder that an overwhelming 92% of British Jews rate the BBC’s coverage of matters of Jewish interest as unfavourable. This is absolutely disgraceful broadcasting. BBC, we demand an explanation for how this could have happened.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, let us honor the victims through decisive action: truthful, accurate remembrance in history, rigorous Holocaust education, open the archives, full restitution, and an unbreakable stand against antisemitism everywhere and always. May the memory of the victims be a blessing, but a call to responsibility for us all. Never again. Starting now. Let's get to work.
