I think “Never again to us” part is for the Zionists just propagandistic sloganeering rather than being heartfelt.
Maybe about 10% of Israelis are descendants of people who actually suffered directly or indirectly from the Holocaust (the origin of the overwhelming majority of Israelis is Russia and the Middle East, not Western Europe), the rest only have one thing in common with the victims of the Holocaust - they have the same Religion.
Now, unless one believes in a Jewish Hive Mind or some other kind of special (never demonstrated to exist) system that via nothing more than ethnicity propagates from person to person the pain and suffering of being a victim, it’s clear the overwhelmingly majority of Israelis (or, in fact, of Jewish People) are NOT victims or the Holocaust - no doubt they have an intelectual understanding of it, might even have been taught to fear that it might happen to them, but they certainly have not felt the pain nor actually empathise with people who feel that pain because neither they nor their close family or friends were ever in that situation.
(BTW, this probably explains why just a bit over 80% of the Israeli population supports what’s being done in Gaza).
However, the “racial victimhood” is a core element of ethno-Fascist propaganda, so specifically the Zionists have leveraged the shit out of claiming that the entire ethnicity which they claim to represent are victims, sometimes just to obtain beneficial treatment that people that ethnicities which aren’t portraid as such don’t get, other times such as now for the much more nefarious purpose of having extra leway whilst they commit their very own Holocaust on people of ethnicities they call “vermin”.
Worse, the use of such racial victimhood stories by the ethno-Fascist is mainly meant to induce fear of the other in the people whose ethnicity they claim to represent - just like the NAZIs before them, the Zionists claim that doing what they say is the only way for the people of the ethnicity they claim to represent to be protected from further victimization - in the process increasing the power of the ethno-Fascists, the Racism of the population and their willingness to commit the most inhumans of acts against those the ethno-Fascists deem “or enemies” because its “what we must do to save our race”.
In simple terms, the Zionists are leveraging the Holocaust to make it more likely that people who did not suffer from the Holocaust and only share an ethnicity with those who did, will support and even commit their own version of the Holocaust on those people whom the Zionists want to steal from, subdue and even murder.
I feel like the holocaust is just publicity for the zionist. All the politicians here take money from AIPAC.
I had a holocaust section each year after 5th grade passed between history and english classes. This has made me keenly aware of the depravity occurring in Gaza.
They expect the programming to shield them into perpituity as we watch them commit the same acts we were raised to have disgust for. I never learning a thing about jews or israel, no explanation for the nazi’s hatred.
I remember in college there was always a weird old man holding a “save palestine” poster during football games back on 2017. That was really the only time I saw hints of an issue, which I ignored because I just thought he was a crazy homeless.
It’s shocking to me that Isreal culture is so tolerant for evil. It makes humanity feel more predictable, easy to manipulate, almost animal. No values or principles able to stop a modern genocide. It’s numbing.
I agree with much of the intent of what you’ve said, but your revisionist and exceptionally inaccurate history is really going to bias people to ignore you.
The holocaust did not occur in a vacuum and was the culmination of centuries of antisemitic violence across all of Europe, from Western Europe but certainly throughout the Russian empire. In fact, Zionism arose as a capitalist ethnonationalist aligned response to the incredible waves of pogroms that were sweeping through the flailing Russian empire. It’s very hard to distinguish this era of European history along tight geographical lines–that is to say, any Eastern European descended Jew, in Israel or elsewhere, almost certainly has a direct family connection with the overall context of the holocaust.
With that said, you are certainly right that an enormous proportion of Israeli Jews, approximately half, are from the middle east. Hell, there are multiple sub-dialects of Arabic associated with these many groups (Judeo-Arabic).
Ultimately, Zionism never justified itself primarily based upon the holocaust because it predates the holocaust by damned near a half century. Obviously, the holocaust and history of pogroms feed significantly into the Zionist narrative, but you have to understand thag Zionism is unquestionably an artifact of the ascendant moment of ethnonationalism that was taking place as the old colonial empires and monarchist systems of power began to fall.
It was also spearheaded by wealthy capitalists. Most of the time time, if the question right now is why is something so fucked up, the answer is “because capitalists.”
