On Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the 6 million Jews and millions of Slavs, Roma, Communists, Disabled people, Queer people, Afro-Germans, and many others killed by Nazis and their collaborators (Thread)

Year after Year we say “never again” to honor the memory of those who were murdered and prevent another genocide, but historical memory is a fickle thing which was long ago murdered too and there is very little interest for honoring the truth
There is this version of the Holocaust that ppl want to maintain-that it was solely a German genocide built out of blame of Jews for economic conditions after WWI and all the nazis who did it are dead and no one living has any culpability
It does not play down the Holocaust at all to say that it cannot and must not be treated as unique and independent within the history of the world, and in fact to properly understand it we must understand it within the history of other colonial projects
People don’t want to understand the true conditions and the historical basis from which the Holocaust was perpetuated and from which many genocides since have been built from.
Bc if they did they would realise the only way to end them would be the complete destruction of the capitalist, imperialist, white supremacist structures which dominate society
They don’t want to understand that the Holocaust was both born out of relations of the Jew to an inherently Christian Europe, and from Western colonial and imperial projects spanning centuries
The Holocaust was a product of Christian supersessionism, false accusations of deicide, the Crusades, blood libel, forced conversions, massacres during the Black Plague, the Spanish Inquisition, the ghettoization of Jews, being forced into moneylending, expulsion after expulsion
It was a product of Khmelnytsky, the Pale of Settlement, the cantonist system, a culture of conspiracism where Jews are viewed as having inherent control over world affairs, the
Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Dreyfus, the 1880-1920 pogroms where 250,000+ Jews were killed
It is a product of the countries who soon essentially banned Jews from entering entirely
It was the product of a Europe that always viewed its Jewish population as suspect and one whose presence, whose humanity, whose life, was always viewed as an open question and viewed as inherently disposable
It was also a product of a Hitler who drew inspiration from the settler colonialism and genocide of the Americas, who declared in his pursuit of Lebensraum that “the Volga will be our Mississippi” of Nazis who took inspiration from Jim Crow in their Nuremberg Laws
Who took inspiration of the use of concentration camps from the Spanish in Cuba, the British, and Germany’s own genocide of the Herero and Nama ppl in Namibia, who took inspiration from the fact that the US and the UK had already essentially banned Jews
And time and time again when the world met to discuss allowing more Jews in, nearly every single country rejected it, with a large majority of the US and the UK public opposing it and supporting Nazi movements within their own countries
The US government and many congresspeople openly allying with Nazis, FDR not telling US soldiers about the Holocaust because he knew they wouldn’t want to fight a “Jew war”, Churchill not protecting the East End getting bombed when he knew many working class Jews lived there
And what did it all lead to-the liberal solution to the Jewish Question had already been to remove Jews from Europe-and that’s exactly what they were able to do with Israel- and Zionists who had been all too willing to collaborate with Nazis in signing the Haavara Agreement
A Europe where pogroms had been occurring after the Holocaust and who was able to export their Nazis to Western governments who were more than happy to take them in and participate in anti-Communist efforts/colonial projects
Palestine forced to pay for Europe’s crimes and Jews who had seemingly learned nothing from their own experiences were willing to colonize and plunder and mass murder just like the US settler colonial project and were willing to use the Holocaust to justify their genocide
Today, we know antisemitism is on the rise and it's because of how antisemitism is so fundamentally intertwined with white supremacy and the tropes and stereotypes which led to the Holocaust were not only never properly defeated, there was never any desire to defeat them
There is an attempt to rewrite history, ignoring centuries of antisemitism when it comes to Ukraine’s collaborationist past, the pogromists of the Russian Empire, banning books about the Holocaust, claiming Jews are controlling the queer agenda and Soros controls everything
All while the Zionist settler colonial state continues to abuse the memory of Holocaust victims (many of whom were antizionists) to justify their daily massacres of Palestinians, all with western backing and with their defense system which was financed by German reparations
Over a third of Holocaust survivors today live in poverty, all the while Poland continues to restrict land claims and Germany cruelly tries to claim a monopoly on Holocaust education while maintaining the aryanization of businesses that was implemented during the Holocaust
So let us be vigilant and fight for a more just world and an end to the colonial white supremacist capitalist system which continues to harm us all

And may the memories of all Holocaust victims forever be a blessing
Here is a list of antizionist Jews I recommend people follow-if I am forgetting someone pls lmk!

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Example #3 - "I'm only looking at what makes the data fit in my favour" a.k.a moving the goalposts.
