You know, I honestly don't care about Jewish people, one way or the other, but the fact so many of them have been doing the "if you criticize me in any way, you're anti-Semitic and a Nazi, and I'm going to cancel you" shit for literally more than half a century now, really makes me not want to defend them or take their side.

The state of Israel, especially the Israeli right-wing, has absolutely weaponized the Holocaust to defend themselves from criticism.

It is, maybe, possible that the actions of the Zionists and (later) Israelis in the later 1940s, 50s and even into the 60s might have been justified by "Never Again". But Israel now is secure, no longer surrounded by enemies except for those of its own making and using the Holocaust to excuse their own slow-motion genocide of the Palestinians is just obscene.
