      “Disgusting” was the word that crossed my mind, but “disgustingly pathetic” better captures the vibe.

        When will they realize that it’s shit like this that makes actual anti-semitism a danger for the Jewish Diaspora?

        All they are doing is making things more dangerous for Jewish people.

      Yeah wtf is going on in this world 😞

      Also I do find it funny the image has one arm on the left barely holding the others, like it was always ready to not support them… ironic

    So they’re basically saying, “we were wrong, never again means only never again for Jews.”

    I guess them being a holocaust museum doesn’t need to imply they are against it. Good to know who they actually are.

      In fact, it would make them rather unusual. For example, the Corvette museum is pretty pro-Corvette.

    Dang, even the fucking Holocaust museum won’t stand up against another holocaust.

    The dusty crater that used to be the site of a dead horse that used to be my faith in humanity just took another beating.

      Dont breathe that in, that’s horse dust…

      OK that’s the end of my joking, this is fucking terrible and everyone should collectively feel worse for this fucking failure. It does not lessen the fucking holocaust to wish no one else suffers the same!

      What’s particularly suspect is how little coverage this story has got anywhere; I tried both Google and bing to fact check OP and the only sources for it are social media posts. Literally no actual journalistic source on the first page of search seems to have picked this up.

        Journalism does tend to lag over the weekend. Idk if that’ll make a difference here though, with Palestinians being so consistently dehumanized by Western media.

    They could have presented a neutral opinion in the vein of “this is not a statement on the situation, however we are proud to have created respectful discourse”

    This shit is pathetic.

      To bend to pressure from fascists is to support fascism. There is no compromise on that point!

          What’s to understand? Either they took it down willingly and they’re ideologically aligned with the enemy, or they capitulated and they’re collaborators with the enemy. It’s a distinction without a difference – either way, they have betrayed everything they previously claimed to stand for and are now the enemy.

    So “Never again, only for jews”. got it.

    The ADL is a supremacist hate group that equates Zionism with Judaism. Anti-semitism and holocaust are tools for them to enhance Zionism, and there is certainly overlap between supremacism and religion. The ADL/Supremacism influence over Holocaust museum is imaginable, and now obvious. Historical victimhood as a propaganda link to perpetual supremacy is an effective tool. Most minds cannot distinguish between sympathy support for non-genocide and support for supremacism.

    The whole purpose of the Holocaust museums are now bunk, time to replace them with something meaningful I guess.

    Vocabulary time!

    “Pusillanimous” is a word that means “contemptibly timid,” and which applies to a disappointing number of people and institutions these days. Like the Holocaust Museum LA.

    So, are they saying it is ok to commit genocides against non-Jewish ethnic groups, then? I’m not sure what message they’re trying to send with this retraction.

      Probably not. Just that when they say never again, it’s only the holocaust they mean. I suppose if they wanted to speak out against genocide as a phenomenon they would word it something like ‘This should not happen ever’ or the like lmao
