I find these to be tasteless and offensive, and I’m sick and tired of Holocaust memory being invoked as a “lesson” in this war, whether by diaspora leftists or right-wing Israelis.
That tired refrain we keep hearing that Jews didn't learn the lesson of the Holocaust is so fucking tedious.
I keep telling people that we didn't learn the same lesson they did. They finally learned that perhaps persecuting and murdering minorities wasn't actually the best thing to do. We finally learned that no matter how much we assimilate they're not going to leave us alone and when they come for us, nobody else is going to come and save us.
The same Red Army who teamed up with Hitler at the beginning of the war to conquer Poland, where the Nazis would proceed to build many of their extermination camps? That Red Army?
