The author of the post argued that the most authoritative opponent of the Italian law, which he claimed was about to adopt the definition of antisemitism from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), was Kenneth Stern, the American lawyer who had drafted the definition and who was then directing the Bard Center for. #antisemitismo #IHRA #giustizia #IT #US (translated)
The author called for the victims of what they described as the Hamas massacre of 7 October to be honoured, saying the day had profoundly changed Israel. They wrote that the war that followed had brought devastation to Gaza on a scale that would shape Palestinians’ lives for years. The author added that the dead deserved remembrance and began to say that the living deserved something, but the post ended before completing the thought. #Israel #Gaza #Remembrance #IL #PS
The author described Hamas’s attacks on October 7 three years earlier as abhorrent, while alleging that Israel had aided them. They also claimed that Israel had killed many of its own citizens and hundreds of Gazan civilians that day, and questioned why those deaths were absent from commemorations if they were meant to remember tragedy and crime. #Gaza #Israel #Tragedy #IL #PS
The author wrote that Germany marked Unity Day on 3 October by celebrating unity, freedom, and the peaceful overcoming of division, while also remembering its history. They said around a million people had risen against the SED dictatorship in East Germany on 17 June 1953 and that the uprising was met with violence. https://t.co/iWsYUJCaSC #TagDerDeutschenEinheit #Einheit #Geschichte #DE (translated)

Skriver i Aftonbladet: "Jag skrev om hur Förintelsen trivialiserats och relativiserats i pro-palestinska demonstrationer på svenska gator och torg. Svaret från Hawazen Saghir – som varken verkar ha någon egen koppling till Förintelsen eller någon sakkunskap i ämnet – blir att göra exakt det som artikeln kritiserar: att jämföra Förintelsen med Gazakriget. International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) har tagit fram en arbetsdefinition av antisemitism som Sverige antog 2020. Där anges relativisering och trivialisering av Förintelsen som exempel på antisemitism – liksom jämförelser mellan Israel och Nazityskland. Sedan 2024 är förnekande och trivialisering av Förintelsen dessutom kriminaliserat som hets mot folkgrupp. Kritik av Israels krigföring är inte antisemitism. Det är bruket av Förintelsens symboler – lägeruniformer, Davidsstjärnor, Auschwitz-porten – som passerar anständighetens och lagens gräns. Men Saghir nöjer sig inte med att utnyttja Förintelsen för att argumentera för sin politiska ståndpunkt. Han tar sig också rätten att tala i Förintelsens offers namn och förklara vad som utgör ett svek mot deras minne. Samtidigt undviker han att bemöta den kritik som min artikel handlade om: att pro-palestinska demonstranter, klädda i Region Stockholms sjukvårdskläder, bar en skylt där ordet ”Gaza” medvetet utformats för att associera till den ökända skylten ”Arbeit Macht Frei” vid Auschwitz, medan en man i Gestapoliknande skinnrock bar en armbindel med Davidsstjärnan. Det är anmärkningsvärt. Symbolik har ett syfte och används för att förmedla ett budskap." Läs mer👇🏻https://t.co/VBtPqISB1N #Förintelsen #antisemitism #IsraelGazakonflikten
