#Antisemitism and holocaust denialism / Netanyahu whitewashes Holocaust history during meeting with Orbán

Wanted war criminal #Netanyahu deliberately avoided mentioning #Hungary's role in the systematic extermination of over 400,000 Hungarian Jews under the Miklós Horthy regime. Instead, he constructed a fictional narrative of shared fate between Hungarians and Jews.

When referencing post-WWII suffering, he highlighted Polish victims while carefully omitting that the Soviet Union was the occupier—likely to avoid offending #Putin, another conservative ally.

Not the first time for Netanyahu, who’s been practicing historical revisionism, accused of holocaust denial, showing how far the Israel will go to cement alliances with leaders who share his hate of #Islam and international legal institutions, like the #ICC and #ICJ.

[…] On the path to global right-wing unity, allies are forced to make compromises. Netanyahu, for example, partially sacrificed Israel's most sacred historical memory. In his remarks alongside Orbán, he did mention the Holocaust, but constructed an imagined narrative about a shared destiny between Hungarians and Jews. Additionally, Netanyahu avoided mentioning the Holocaust of Hungarian Jews and the responsibility of Miklós Horthy's regime, Hungary's ruler at the time, for the systematic extermination of more than 400,000 Jews.

[…] Instead, Netanyahu emphasized the suffering of Poles under the occupation that followed World War II. But here too, he avoided mentioning the occupiers - the Soviet Union. This could have offended another conservative ally - Vladimir Putin. Netanyahu and Orbán also preferred not to allow the many journalists in the hall to ask questions, which might have embarrassed each of them individually and both of them together. The unity of the global right sometimes requires walking on eggshells.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

On of the Forefathers of Queer Theory, Michel Foucault, Was a Sex Tourist and Pedophile

Michel Foucault Was a Pedophile - The Evidence Is Clear
https://youtu.be/zHedH6Tahmo

“The view that sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children is a sexual identity and somehow hardwired, as opposed to chosen or socially constructed, has been around since the 1960s, and promoted by the likes of French philosopher Michel Foucault. “ - Julie Bindle

Foucault is also on the record saying that sexuality should never be criminalized, because criminalizing rape is “sexually repressive.” This is the core of "queer theory."

In 1977 and 1979, several petitions were signed by a number of prominent French intellectuals, such as Michel Foucault calling for reforms to or the abolition of the French age-of-consent law. A January 1977 petition published in Le Monde criticized the Affaire de Versailles —the detention of three men arrested for sex offences against children aged 12–13. A May 1977 petition addressed at the French Parliament called for the equalization of homosexual and heterosexual ages of consent to age 15. A 1979 petition published in Libération defended a man arrested for sexual relations with girls aged 6–12.

Michel Foucault argued that it is intolerable to assume that a minor is incapable of giving meaningful consent to sexual relations. Foucault also believed consent, as a concept, was a "contractual notion", and that it was not a sufficient measure of whether harm was being conducted.

Foucault called an instance of child rape “inconsequential bucolic pleasures.”
In The History of Sexuality Volume 1: An Introduction he refers to what feminists would regard as an instance of child sexual abuse as ‘these inconsequential bucolic pleasures’ (1981:33).

Queer Theory is basically about  normalizing men’s sexual use of children  hidden behind  throwing off prudish Victorian, “sexual repression.”

In an interview with Guy Hocquenghem, Michel Foucault  spoke in defense of child pornogaphy and child sex :

“When someone says that child pornography is the most terrible of present scandals, one cannot but be struck by the disproportion between this - child pornography, which is not even prostitution - and everything that is happening in the world today- what the black population has to put up with in the United States, for instance. This whole campaign about pornography, about prostitution, about all those social phenomena - which are in any case controversial - only leads to one fundamental presupposition: 'it's worse when children are consenting and worse still if it is neither pornographic nor paid for', etc. In other words, the entire criminalizing context serves only to bring out the kernel of the accusation: you want to make love with consenting children. It serves only to stress the traditional prohibition and to stress in a new way, with new arguments, the traditional prohibition against sexual relations without violence, without money, without any form of prostitution, that may take place between adults and minors. “

“In any case, an age barrier laid down by law does not have much sense. Again, the child may be trusted to say whether or not he was subjected to violence. “

Quoting David Issacharoff on how Israel is enabling far-right's Nazi history whitewashing:

[…] The far-right in Germany does not particularly favor Israel and doesn't necessarily feel historically obligated to ensure its existence, unlike mainstream German parties. However, Israel's silence towards them, coupled with the defense of figures like Elon Musk, is a critical step towards their full legitimization in Germany. Israel and its representatives in Germany are aware of this, yet by remaining silent regarding the rewriting and downplaying of Nazi history and #Holocaust memory, they are criminally abandoning the safety of German Jews who face concrete threats from increasingly powerful neo-Nazis.

According to Issacharoff, the Israeli government provides tacit support for #Germany's far-right #AfD party, which is attempting to whitewash Nazi history. While Elon Musk is actively aiding this effort by downplaying German guilt and platforming AfD leaders like Alice Weidel, who has made historically revisionist and antisemitic statements, #Netanyahu defends Musk and the Israeli embassy in Germany focuses on alleged Muslim and leftist antisemitism, contradicting German data that identifies the far-right as the primary source of antisemitism. This alignment serves mutual interests in demonizing Palestinians and undermining international law, but dangerously legitimizes neo-Nazis and endangers German Jews. What could go wrong?

#Egupt / Israeli Education Ministry revises curriculum to erase Egypt's peace overtures before October War (1973)

Israel's Ministry of Education has directed teachers to stop teaching that the October War was partly due to #Israel's rejection of Egyptian peace initiatives. The new curriculum, based on recent research, asserts that the war was solely Egypt's responsibility due to its demand for full Israeli withdrawal from Sinai and other occupied territories.

The directive dismisses the historical perspective that Israel ignored peace overtures from Egypt, a view supported by some historians who argue that Egyptian President Sadat sought peace negotiations as early as 1971, but was rebuffed by Israel. Critics argue this curriculum change is a politically motivated revision of history, ignoring evidence of Egypt's willingness to negotiate and placing sole blame for the war on Egypt.

[…] The Israeli Ministry of Education is portraying its new version of Yom Kippur War history as fact, based on historian [right winger] Yoav Gelber's research. However, this is a highly contested issue among historians, with many offering different interpretations. In contrast to the Ministry's view, journalist Amir Oren argues Israel and Prime Minister Golda Meir bear responsibility for not preventing the war. Oren considers it a "war of choice," stating Egyptian President Sadat sought peace with Israel since 1971 but was ignored due to Israel's refusal to withdraw from Sinai and parts of the West Bank for peace, as Oren wrote in a 2014 Haaretz article.

[…] Newly disclosed primary sources, including a 2023 Mossad publication commemorating the October War's 50th anniversary, indicate that Egypt considered diplomatic solutions before the conflict. According to the Mossad's account, while skeptical of diplomacy alone to reclaim territories lost in the Six-Day War, President Sadat initially explored political avenues. Intelligence from Ashraf Marwan, an Egyptian agent that Israel operated, revealed Sadat's communications with Soviet leaders in 1971, expressing Egypt's readiness for a settlement. However, facing political stagnation and fearing the entrenchment of the occupation, Egypt ultimately resorted to military action to break the deadlock.

[…] According to the instruction of the Inspectorate for History Studies, which will come into effect next school year, from now on "answers will not be accepted in the matriculation exams according to which Israel rejected Egyptian peace proposals before the outbreak of the war."

@timnitGebru

"the equivalent of a holocaust [...] in Gaza."

It is not the comparison that is problematic, but the relativisation that is repeatedly pursued with the means of comparison.

The Shoah is unprecedented because extermination was an end in itself, which distinguishes it from genocidal crimes motivated by economic or war strategy.
The ideological basis is redemptive antisemitism, which imagined Jews as a "divisive element" in a fascist community, that their annihilation could restore balance to a shattered society.

Parts of Holocaust research do nothing other than compare and then ultimately come to the conclusion that the Shoah is unprecedented, which incidentally does not mean that it could not be repeated.

Your continued relativism in using inappropriate superlatives is ignorant at best and does nothing for the Palestinian cause other than invite an antisemitic narrative to undermine a movement in support of a free people.

Florida Board of Education’s Guidelines Imply Slavery Benefitted Black People

Florida Board of Education dictates how Black history will be taught in public schools; includes provision implying that enslaved African-Americans learned skills for “their own personal benefit.”

Civil rights advocates call them “a sanitized and dishonest telling of the history of slavery in America.”
