WH: No mention of Jews on Holocaust Remembrance Day because others were killed tooNot because others were killed, but this is a way to minimize and deligitimize the victims of the 20th century atrocity, genocide.
I am disgusted.

(24,772 posts)Why is he hanging around Trump, whose son-in-law is Jewish? Is Bannon trying to undermine the Trump family, too?

(40,220 posts)I actually think Trump himself possesses a passive anti-semitism. He might not be an overt anti-Semite, but Trump stereotypes Jews. He trades in Jewish tropes; Jews are good at math, Jews should be your accountant, doctor, lawyer....Jews live in certain neighborhoods and act in certain ways. Hanging around an anti-semite like Bannon wouldn't bother him. And who knows how Kushner feels about Bannon.

(90,793 posts)....Deniers move into false equivalency by saying only a few Jews were exterminated and the rest were all kinds of other Europeans.
When you frame it this way, erasing the Jews from the Holocaust Remembrance Day proclamation makes perfect sense. And Bannon is a white nationalist anti-Semite.
