“There’s nothing religious about Christmas!”

Jewish queer people deserve to be safe in queer spaces.

I don’t care if you make fun of Catholicism as long as it’s accurate! The best humour has its roots in the truth.

Gee, maybe filling social media with far-right neo-Nazi content with Elon and the GOP's open white supremacy, and filling it with far-left neo-Nazi content with celebrations over Jews being slaughtered, promoting blood libel and conspiracy theories, and presenting antisemitism as social justice, have rotted young people's brains.

80 years ago, today, Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by the Allies. The camp, one of six death camps created specifically to end all Jewish and Romani life in Europe, was the site of unspeakable horrors and over one million deaths.

It is probably the most infamous and recognizable portion of the tragic and evil story of the Shoah, the Holocaust. The date of its liberation was designated International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

But by now, I think, it is quite clear that too few gentiles actually remember.

Like many Jews, the Shoah is not some history lesson I read in a textbook with black and white pictures in middle or high school. It’s personal. It profoundly impacted my family in every conceivable way.

None of my relatives were at Auschwitz-Birkenau, that we know of. No, they died in Ravensbrück, at SS Polizei stations, and in pits in Lithuania. Five survived. Two are with us still. And we’ve all watched as the world has forgotten.

We’ve watched as, regardless of politics, a murderous regime that destroyed two-thirds of European Jewry - over six million people, one and half million of them five years old or younger - has been used as nothing more than a rhetorical weapon. We’ve watched as phrases used to justify our deaths 80 years ago, in living memory, are casually used again today.

We’ve watched as, once again, we are blamed for the harms others inflict on us. We weren’t loud enough, we were too loud, we didn’t say the right things, we didn’t say anything at all, we didn’t look how we should, we looked too much like ourselves. And so violence against us is not only understandable, but acceptable.

I remember the Holocaust. I have no choice. It is deep in my bones. It’s in my DNA. I can never forget what happened. No Jew can.

And it disturbs me, profoundly, that so much of the rest of the world has.

May the memories of the victims of the Holocaust be for a blessing. And please, remember them.

I feel sick to the stomach reading about the pogrom in Amsterdam and I am filled with unspeakable anger about all the leftist "activists" who, over the course of the last year, have contributed to creating an environment where Jewish people feel unsafe with their brain-dead and hateful chants to "globalise the intifada" and "from the river to the sea".

Ohhh you're all so upset about Republicans being nazis. "Punch a nazi!" Yeah, right. But what did you do about the nazis in your own camp? The ones cheering on terrorist organisations, celebrating rape as a form of resistance ("Me too" unless you're a Jew?) calling for violence against the Jewish community and the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world?

You know, it would have been entirely possible to support the cause of the Palestinian people and raise awareness for the suffering of the Palestinian civilians without going full-on antisemitism and siding with Islamist groups who don't give a shit about their own civilians. But that would have required nuance, it would have required educating yourself on the issue and reflecting you own internalised antisemitism.

I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community around the world.

Never Again is Now.
