If he means the massacre being carried out with his involvement of the semitic peoples of Palestine, he's right

Calling Hamas/ Palestinians antisemitic is like accusing wwii-era Korean/ Chinese/ Malaysian resistance groups etc. of being 'Japanophobic' against their occupiers, or trans people of being 'cisphobic' against transphobes.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Israel then launched a military offensive in the Gaza Strip, in which at least 27,585 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more are feared buried under rubble, the Hamas-run health ministry said.

“It is obvious that we owe the same emotion and the same dignity to the French victims of the bombings in Gaza, and this tribute will be paid to them at another time,” the official said, without giving a date.

The Elysée said the key message of the memorial ceremony for the victims of the 7 October attacks was the “fight against antisemitism and through it … all forms of hatred, racism and oppression of minorities”.

Yashay Dan, a relative of one of the French-Israelis believed still to be held hostage, Ofer Kalderon, said he hoped the ceremony could “resonate all around the world, not only in France”.

Tzipora Levy, whose son Yitzhak was killed at the Nova music festival and who had travelled to Paris, said the ceremony was symbolic amid the sadness felt by families.

There was controversy over some of the politicians attending the Paris ceremony, with many families of French victims saying they did not want to see figures from Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s leftwing party, La France Insoumise, accusing it of failing to sufficiently denounce the 7 October attacks and term Hamas a terror group.


The original article contains 667 words, the summary contains 220 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

The Holocaust happened just 84 years ago.

"our century", meaning the 21st century - not the last 100 years.

What's going on right now makes it clear how ridiculous the word "the" is in "the Holocaust".

That's true... And the levels of censorship around the topic could even make one wonder why there so much control of the spread of media on the topic.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it does feel like there's a conspiracy of western complicity trying to protect and tightly control opinions on the topic.

I think it's because the Nazis provide a clear bad guy that is unrelated or at least detachable from the power structure of today. Most other genocides or "holocausts" (an odd term when considering it's Biblical origins) have uncomfortable connections to modern oligarchs.
