Hlocaust memorial day

[johnnycool]

Great look for Ireland alright

Respectful and peaceful attendees dragged out of the event for having the audacity to quietly stand and turn their backs on Michael D during his speech

what did Michael D say which was so wrong?

I guess the answer to that depends on who you ask

I asked you.

Not sure why people can't call out both and move on

Another view would be, are the current Zionists the type of people they are today because of what happened 80 odd years ago?

Plenty of examples throughout history were nations were oppressed by invaders and become hardline in the future

There's no doubt in my mind that they are like this today because of what happened 80 years ago, but that doesn't make the current situation any more acceptable.

At this moment what they are doing and being allowed to do in Gaza is every bit as bad, even if it isn't on the same scale.

I did see a quote somewhere yesterday got me thinking, not one single Israeli died in the Holocaust.

When you start to work back from that stand point does put a bit of context on the whole issue.

Also don't forget these Zionists that are all over social media on this wouldn't be your regular Jew/ Israeli, they are as extreme as Hamas on the other side. So I wouldn't be listening to too much they are coming out with.

Well one could make the case that the remembrance of the Holocaust should be a sacred event and that anything that draws attention away from that is inappropriate and offensive

(That's not my take-that's the take of the people who were offended. My take is if you're enough of an idiot to invite a clown like Michael D to speak at your event-you get what you deserve)

It would be like having a speaker at a Famine Commemoration (in Ireland) and the speaker using that opportunity to criticize the IRA

Famine or Genocide

The fact that he used the word famine when there was plenty of food tells you everything.

If he offended Zionists who refuse to see that what they're doing in Palestine isn't a genocide then even more power to him.

It is a bit sickening to see a lot of other politicians chant out the old mantra "Never Forget" while turning a blind eye to what is happening now.

[Rossfan]

Precisely Johnny.
And then brainwashed yankeehubarb wades in with Zionist insults to our President, a man who got the biggest vote in Irish history.

No mentions of said event in Churchills, Eisenhowers or De Gaulle's memoirs.

It would be undeniably healthy for there to be allowed a full, open, evidence based debate as to whether it happened in the way that history has fed it to us.

What is this revision that I'm seeing more often now?  It's everything from this, to it never happened at all.

Holocaust denial now is it?

I'd be keen to see the evidence that it didn't happen

[theskull1]

I agree MR. Why do law makers not see that as healthy I wonder? Why do they not see that "Sunlight is the best disinfectant"?

Holocaust denial in criminal law

My dislike of Michael D predates last Sundays event by several decades

He's a flat out clown-always has been

[J70]

Why are we even still talking about this? It was a war, terrible things happen. Wars and terrible things have happened since. I don't believe it was a 'uniquely' terrible event, terrible and all that it was. The fact is it's constantly trotted out to remind us Europeans how terrible we are, and how we must continue to be punished for it. If it had happened to any other group of people, we wouldn't still be on about it. Unfortunately, it's become the 'foundational myth' for the West, and the West hasn't benefitted form looking back at it, one iota.

How are you being punished?

Not having read said memoirs I bow to your obvious knowledge. However, both Eisenhower and Churchill knew of the Holocaust.
"There is no doubt in my mind that we are in the presence of one of the greatest and most horrible crimes ever committed" Churchill in a letter to Henry Mond in July 1944.
"The things I saw beggar description.... I made the visit deliberately in order to be in a position to give firsthand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda.'"

—General Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a letter to Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall, April 15, 1945
