Never forget. Never again. Hollow words. Other holocausts go unmentioned. More on that below.
Norman Finkelstein's "The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering" discusses its politicization and commercialization.
He documents distortions and deceptions. He quotes former Israeli official Abba Eban saying "There's no business like Shoah business."
He explains the myth of "unique Jewish suffering." It's connected to power politics. Vested interests take full advantage. Israeli criticism is deflected. Anti-Semitism accusations target those who dare. Crimes of war and against humanity go unmentioned.
Holocaust imagery rationalizes occupation harshness, dispossessions, and other international law violations.
Yom HaShoah promoters ignore other human suffering. They characterize Hitler's terror as unique. They're mindless of other genocides much greater.
In WW II, three times as many Slavs died as Jews. America's Native American genocide was perhaps the greatest ever. Who knows? Who honors the victims? Who cares?
Those who do call it the "500 year war." "The world's longest holocaust in the history of mankind and loss of human lives." "500 years of hate crimes."
