What did you expect in today’s shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, where the next Prime Minister could be openly antisemitic and pro-jihad? The UCU has apologized, but would it have done so if no one had said anything?
“Why did UK’s Holocaust memorial events remove references to Jews?,” by Seth J. Frantzman, Jerusalem Post, October 4, 2019:
The University College Union in the United Kingdom sent an email to branches that excluded mention of Jews among the groups persecuted during the Holocaust. According to The Jewish Chronicle, the UCU has since apologized. However, in a review of several websites connected to upcoming commemorations of Holocaust Memorial Day 2020, which will be held on January 27, references to Jews appear to be too often missing.
In the case of the UCU, a long list of those persecuted were mentioned, just not Jews. This included members of “trade unions” and “Roma” and “black people,” as well as gays and lesbians and “Jehovah’s Witnesses.” In addition, “non-Jewish Poles,” were mentioned – but not Jews. The UK’s special envoy for post-Holocaust issues, Eric Pickles, said the incident sends a “chilling message.”
But the problem is much larger than just the UCU. Holocaust Memorial Day 2020 is already being wrapped into the easier to pronounce acronym “HMD 2020,” which in itself removes the word “Holocaust.” On some websites, such as the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust’s page devoted to “75 memorial flames,” it is clearly noted that the Holocaust was “the genocide perpetrated by the Nazis against the Jews of Europe.” However, a press release from April about the “HMD 2020” theme, called “Standing Together,” doesn’t mention the word Jew. The press release, also at the Trust’s website, notes that “HMD 2020 will also include marking the 25th anniversary of the Genocide in Bosnia.” It is interesting that while Bosnia is mentioned, the place that the Shoah began in Germany is conveniently left out, lest anyone recall it was Germany that began the Holocaust and was largely responsible for it.
The April press release of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust notes that it is “calling people to Stand Together in memory of the millions of people affected by the Holocaust, Nazi persecution and more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.” The UCU seems to have used similar language as part of the Stand Together campaign.
The language here notes that the day “explores how genocidal regimes throughout history have deliberately fractured societies by marginalizing certain groups.” The website now says that the Holocaust was “the systematic murder of six million Jews across Europe.” However, a PDF for planning events doesn’t include the word “Jew.” The same pamphlet, when discussing the Rwandan genocide, mentions “an estimated 1 million Tutsis and moderate Hutus” who were murdered. It also mentions the “Kindertransport” of Jewish children but doesn’t mention that they were Jewish. If they had been Bosnian or Tutsi, who are mentioned in the flier, they might have gotten a mention.
A review of other sites related to the “HMD 2020” and “Stand Together” events reveals that Jews seem to be systematically excluded from discussions about the Holocaust….
The PDF itself doesn’t mention that six million Jews were murdered, which means those downloading some of the material for the 2020 events are given inadequate information, even when the research shows people don’t know how many were murdered. The PDF highlights Albanian Muslims, alone among mentions of various groups in Europe, for saving Jews. While the flier doesn’t mention any Christian beliefs, it notes that “strong Muslim and ethical beliefs” were responsible for Albanians saving Jews. It neglects to mention that many Albanians are also Christian.

This is insane! Hitler met with the grand mufti over extermination of the jews and now the UK bows to more Islamic supremacy? No mention of that eh? Dhimmi Britian might as well put all of sharia in compliance. One of the best BBC presenters was forced to resign last week because his comments were offensive to muslims. I don’t doubt that murders and gun smuggling will increase. Insanity is the new rule in the UK

As I often rant about – karma is a bitch. Britain with its imperial past and its shameful recent history (1938 and the Munich Diktat) is slipping into what some say has always been her destiny.
I can’t be objective and unbiased, though – as a descendant of Europeans who got affected by Chamberlain’s treasonous policies in the 20th century I am just barking at the right tree – the tree of contemporary dhimmized England amidst Brexit chaos fueled by neo-communist mass media.
Actually – I should feel sorry for Albion. In reality – nay.

The idiocies of political correctness and multiculturalism are killing not only an accurate rendering of the past in general but truth in general.
This fault lies overwhelmingly at the metaphorical feet of Western Leftism, with ancillary fault lying with non-Muslim moderates and conservatives in the West who realize the truth of matters but who don’t have the guts to speak up about it.
Notice that I don’t fault the Islamic world in this regard because I just expect it to lie, deceive, prevaricate and play the victim role—if one does not know this by now about Mo’s deluded followers (and so many adult non-Muslims in the West still don’t), that person is a sorry-ass, lazy excuse for a human being.
The descent of the West continues. This would include, effectively, the denial of the Holocaust perpetrated upon the Jews during WWII.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who launched orchestrated jihads against the Jews in British Palestine, was a great admirer of Adolf Hitler and was actually photographed with this tyrant. So much for, as just one example among so many, Buttlims “saving people.”
gravenimage says
Yes–all deeply disturbing.
Jayell says
But muslims can be very generous and save people – so long as they’re also muslim or conversion-fodder. It’s very funny how no-one ever heard of all these heroic muslims until now at the same time as certain other historical facts strangely disappear because they’re somehow nof compatible with all this apparent glowing islamic righteouaness. It’s a shame, though, that the Third Reich had the idea of rewriting history first – and a lot of people around hére can spot the glaring parallels. Perhaps muslims and their apologists should have the sense to aim this sort of shoddy propaganda at the sort of audience that will swallow it – idiots and defectives.
gravenimage says
Oh, there were a handful of nominal Muslims who did act to save Jews, and they should be applauded–but they were acting against the creed of Islam when they did so.
Enraged Kafar says
I have no doubt that there are those who call themselves Muslim are good humanitarians and very gracious hosts to me in spite of the fact that I am blatantly mushrikun. The problem of group think is at the core and very difficult for them to get away from it
Randy Eldredge says
Makes me wonder how long before Hitler’s Muslim SS Division will be given credit for the liberation of prisoners from Nazi concentration camps? Will the new history even mention the 6 million Jews murdered in the camps by “Nazis and radical Muslims”?
Hindu American says
Adolf Hitler admired Islam, as quoted by Albert Speer in his 1969 book, Inside the Third Reich:
“You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”

The final stage of GENOCIDE is to DENY THAT A GENOCIDE OCCURRED.
GENOCIDE IS A DELIBERATE PROCESS IN TEN STAGES:
1) us-and-them, 2) labelling, 3) discrimination, 4) dehumanization, 5) organization, 6) polarization, 7)preparation, 8) persecution, 9) extermination, 10) denial.
Genocide is the worst crime. Speak out when any of the above conditions occur.

What I’ve been wondering for the past couple of years – as the Left re-discovers and embraces it’s history of anti-Semitism – is how long before it moves to rehabilitate Hitler ? It may sound crazy today, but is no crazier than denying that the Holocaust was first and foremost about exterminating the Jews.
The Left idolises tyrants such as Mao, Mugabe and Maduro / and terrorists such as the IRA, the Red Brigades, the Weathermen etc, and Hitler serves them both as a fig-leaf of respectability – (the token mass-murderer of whom they disapprove) – and also as a useful stick with which to beat their enemies. (Anyone opposing the Left is always assailed with cries of “Nazi / Fascist scum” etc, whereas the equally foul crimes of Socialists/Communists/Marxists/Mao-ists etc, get a free pass.)
Given the rising anti-Semitism of the Left – combined with the falling-from-favour of Nazism’s enemy, Russia – which served as a revered Left-wing fetish-object for so long – how long before the Left feel safe in re-discovering National Socialism ?
Jeremy Corbyn’s support for the smear that the Jews were behind the Atlantic slave-trade, his endorsement of Hamas, Hizbollah and Black September, and his claim that Israel is deliberately de-stabilising the Middle East, all sound pretty Hitlerian to me….
Jedothek says
Yes; and a huge proportion of the present-day “left” ( which I place in quotes because it has nothing in common with the real left of 1789-1916) embraces Hitler’s view of history: The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of racial struggles.

I think it is only a matter of time before Hitler is rehabilitated. It would be Islamophobic not to. The West seems to have become as callous as he was, so why not ?
gravenimage says
James, you are not wrong. You see more and more moral idiocy about how Hitler was pushed into war–and the Holocaust–by the mean old French and Britons. This is grotesque, but increasingly common.

The poor dears are going to be upset.
All the more reason to beef up staff with Brit vets. Confront the dastards with the truth. Including truth about Grand Mufti al-Husseini, Grand Jew-Hater al-Husseini.
A few Brit Army at entrances will not hurt also.

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:
The Grand Mufti [Islamic leader] of Jerusalem,
in addition to becoming Hitler’s ally during World War II,
adapted Nazi genocidal theory to Islamic theology.
He called on his Muslim brothers to:
“Murder the Jews! Murder them all.”
Other Islamic leaders used Nazi words like “extermination”
in referring to the goals of Arab victory [against Israel].

“…if Israel’s military power were ever to be diminished
to the point that the combined armies of the Arab world
could defeat it, I believe there would be another Holocaust.
No Arab dictator who could defeat Israel and forebore
from doing so would survive the continuing frenzy for
jihad [Islamic holy war against non-Muslims].
And an Arab military victory over Israel – unlike
the Israeli victories over the Arabs – would not
result in a mere occupation or even detention of Israeli Jews.
It would result in a mass slaughter,
designed to rid Arab holy land of Jewish intruders.
Most Jews know this, though they rarely speak of it openly.”

“This phenomenon, which currently has no accepted name,
assumes a variety of forms, but its most obvious
manifestation is the special and often gloating attention
paid by the media, [and] by intellectuals, and by the
government to any deviation by Israel, no matter how trivial,
from the highest norms of humans rights, civility, and sacrifice.
Though Israel may be deserving of criticism,
what is missing is the comparable criticism of
equal or greater violations by other countries
and other groups. This constant, often legitimate
criticism of Israel for every one of it deviations,
when coupled with the absence of legitimate
criticism of others, creates the impression currently
prevalent on university campuses and in the press
that Israel is among the worst rights violators in the world.”

Pathetic. It was the Grand Mufti of Palestine, al- Husseini, (former PLO Leader, Yasser Arafat’s uncle, who took over the title when Husseini died), that put the idea of murdering the Jews. In 1940-41 in Damascus, Syria, Muslims went on a killing spree of Jews. About 1500 were killed. It took 24-48hours before the British troops there restored order. This caused the remaining Jews to flee to Palestine. The War was going bad for Britian at the time & the Muslims thought that General Rommel would be in Cairo soon & they might as well get started on their own Middle East Holocaust. As on Israeli UN delegate, after being harangued by an Algerian delegate, simply asked him, “How are the Algerian Jews getting along?” The Algerian was absolutely stunned into silence, as the answer would have to along the lines of, “We’ve managed to murder 99% of them, over the past 40-50years.” A bunch of weasel like chisellers trying to inveigle their way into the mainstream, as if the World couldn’t function without them.
Dawne says
UCU is a disgraceful organisation. It’s a trades union for university lecturers and senior managers. When I joined the staff of a London university over 10 years ago I joined the union, as I believe firmly in the principle of workers’ rights. When I attended union meetings which should have been discussing the redundancies planned at the time by the university, most of the speaking time was devoted to talking about the “Palestinian issue” and putting forward motions in support of Palestine.
I’m pleased to say that as a new member I did stand up (literally!) and speak, to say that a trades union should be for the issues of its members and not indulging in dubious political issues, which were irrelevant anyway to its membership. I shortly thereafter cancelled my membership.
Trades unions in the UK are a joke – they have been taken over by Marxists – who clearly equate Judaism with Capitalism, as well as harbouring some very dubious individuals who I know for a fact, use union money to further their personal political aims within the UK Labour party. [Another UK institution which has veered wildly towards mainstream anti-semitism]. I can’t give details about this unfortunately as the information came from somebody who would lose their job and income if they became a whistle blower.
There is so much wrong with our society. The politicisation of UK universities has gone beyond just being socialist leaning, to being openly Marxist and anti-semitic.

History is manipulated by Islamic society over time. So called Islamic educated elites within Universities and key positions within western Government body and lobbying body are slowly changing history, Just like Islam has wiped out most all history of the original non islamic countries they occupied and turned into Islamic state.
