#JonathanCook | How the West hides its #Gaza #genocide guilt behind #Holocaust Day remembrance

"There was an unwanted ghost at the commemorations. In fact, tens of thousands of ghosts."

""The brutalities of western colonialism were veiled by outsourcing the crimes to local dictators and strongmen."

"The Holocaust has been turned into a shield that, rather than protecting others from becoming victims of genocide, is used to protect those in the West who wish to perpetrate it."

Jonathan Cook · How the West hides its Gaza genocide guilt behind Holocaust Day remembranceBy Jonathan Cook

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we recall one of history’s darkest chapters.

I never thought I’d witness the resurgence of antisemitism in my lifetime, nor feel uneasy about my heritage.

As someone who teaches Hebrew and Israeli culture, I see the importance of remembering history to foster understanding and respect.

Now more than ever, we must stand together, hold onto our values, and commit to a world of safety and peace for all.

We do the same on Yom Hazikaron יום הזיכרון Memorial day for Israel’s Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism.

In a world where too many deny the atrocities of the holocaust, and now do the same with the atrocities done on Oct 7, remembering, reminding, and teaching about the holocaust feels more important than ever.

It is our duty - the people of the free world who want to live in a democracy - to do everything in our power to keep this world free from the present evil, before it is too late. And I do not mean for Jewish people only. I mean for the free world of the west. We must read the signs and learn from the past so that we have a future.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time when we solemnly recall one of history's darkest chapters.

I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would speak of it in present terms, witnessing a terrifying resurgence in antisemitism.

As we remember those who suffered and perished, let’s also renew our commitment to a world of understanding, safety, and peace for all.

Neo Nazis attacked me here today so I wrote them a little song, it's actually not for them but for you to listen. Negative emotions leave with artwork. I'm sad for them that they only make their feelings worse through trolling amd Holocaust denial etc. Hope you like this very very raw recording of a song I just wrote in the past half an hour.

Honoring International Holocaust Rememberance Day.

On a personal note, meet my family. I never got to meet too many of them, because they were not lucky enough to make it out alive.
At the same time, I am here thanks to and because of the ones that were among the lucky ones. My dear grandmother in this picture with a blue dot next to her.
For those who were taken and those who carry on #neverforget
