Holocaust museum LA retracts their recent statement saying "Never again can't only mean never again for Jews" to support the Israeli Holocaust of Palestinians
I suspect some wealthy donator made a few phone calls.
Not even the most cowardly thing they’ve done this week. (Edit: I might be conflating two Holocaust museums)

Dang, even the fucking Holocaust museum won't stand up against another holocaust.
The dusty crater that used to be the site of a dead horse that used to be my faith in humanity just took another beating.
What’s particularly suspect is how little coverage this story has got anywhere; I tried both Google and bing to fact check OP and the only sources for it are social media posts. Literally no actual journalistic source on the first page of search seems to have picked this up.
Dont breathe that in, that's horse dust...
OK that's the end of my joking, this is fucking terrible and everyone should collectively feel worse for this fucking failure. It does not lessen the fucking holocaust to wish no one else suffers the same!
So "Never again, only for jews". got it.
The ADL is a supremacist hate group that equates Zionism with Judaism. Anti-semitism and holocaust are tools for them to enhance Zionism, and there is certainly overlap between supremacism and religion. The ADL/Supremacism influence over Holocaust museum is imaginable, and now obvious. Historical victimhood as a propaganda link to perpetual supremacy is an effective tool. Most minds cannot distinguish between sympathy support for non-genocide and support for supremacism.
It's been a lot of time now, the victim card smells like rotten flesh. Only the now exists to me.
So they’re basically saying, “we were wrong, never again means only never again for Jews.”
Actually, I think we should be allowed a little genocide, as a treat.
Apologizing for publicly being against genocide is pathetic.
Yeah wtf is going on in this world 😞
Also I do find it funny the image has one arm on the left barely holding the others, like it was always ready to not support them... ironic
"Disgusting" was the word that crossed my mind, but "disgustingly pathetic" better captures the vibe.
Try "repugnant" on for size... if it doesn't work for you just pass it on to someone else.
Being against genocide is now anti-Semitic.
When will they realize that it's shit like this that makes actual anti-semitism a danger for the Jewish Diaspora?
All they are doing is making things more dangerous for Jewish people.
So many fucking pathetic people and institutions these days.
How to generate more antisemitism
I guess them being a holocaust museum doesn't need to imply they are against it. Good to know who they actually are.
In fact, it would make them rather unusual. For example, the Corvette museum is pretty pro-Corvette.
They could have presented a neutral opinion in the vein of "this is not a statement on the situation, however we are proud to have created respectful discourse"
This shit is pathetic.
Vocabulary time!
“Pusillanimous” is a word that means “contemptibly timid,” and which applies to a disappointing number of people and institutions these days. Like the Holocaust Museum LA.
so they rlly wanted to virtue signal values unless they become relevant? AND THATS THE APOLOGY?
“We want to be inclusive except when there are victims that we don’t want to include.”
Does this mean they actually think the opposite?
You can have a little genocide, as a treat.
Yes, absolutely. The people running the Holocaust Museum LA are fascists who support genocide. We should spread the word far and wide so that it is understood by everyone.
Unless they disprove it by putting the message back.
They didn’t mean for it to apply to the current genocide, just the hypothetical future genocide that would never happen in real life.
Well I guess factually "never again" wouldn't make sense since the genocide is actively taking place.
No, no, we just don't want to have it be misinterpreted that we posted all genocide should be rejected. The current situation in the middle east, if it is or isn't a genocide, does not excuse us for taking the position that all genocide is unacceptable.
Painting with broad strokes that all genocide is wrong is insensitive to those who may have different opinions about the propriety of genocide, and those people are worthy of including in our circle of valued partners and members, who can Never Again tolerate genocide unless we need to on social media.
And how can that be "misinterpreted"?
It means they think whatever their donors pay them to think. I’m guessing they threw a hissy fit and some random employee will be blamed for this even though normal people would not find it even slightly controversial.
Don't any of these people understand how this looks?
Why would they care about negative opinions when the people expressing negative opinions are mostly worried about appearing non-threatening?
Well, at least they eliminated the strategic ambiguity on this 🥱
So, are they saying it is ok to commit genocides against non-Jewish ethnic groups, then? I'm not sure what message they're trying to send with this retraction.
Probably not. Just that when they say never again, it's only the holocaust they mean. I suppose if they wanted to speak out against genocide as a phenomenon they would word it something like 'This should not happen ever' or the like lmao
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
