Chanting “Death to Arabs” and singing “May your village burn,” groups of young Israeli Jews made their way through Muslim neighborhoods of Jerusalem’s Old City on Monday during an annual march marking Israel ‘s conquest of the eastern part of the city.

Palestinian shopkeepers closed early and police lined the alleys ahead of the march that often becomes a rowdy and sometimes violent procession of ultranationalist Jews. A police officer raised his arms in celebration at one point, hugging a marcher. It was blazing hot, with temperatures hitting 98 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius) in late afternoon.

Hours earlier, a small group of protesters, including an Israeli member of parliament, stormed a compound in east Jerusalem belonging to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA.

But remember, if you criticize this you're an antisemite /s

That's right, these people clearly represent and are in fact the perfect ideal for all jews and the entire jewish religion, I can tell by the fact that every jewish person I have ever met is totally against this which means they're not real jews and hate themselves and their own religion. /s

Also remember they are the victims and are only trying to maintain peace.

Maybe we shouldn't be letting fascists march out in the open like this.

Yeah definitely not insane behavior

I simply cannot fathom that an event that should never be forgotten is forgotten by people who belong to the group it happened to.

That is, until they use it to deflect any criticism of their actions.

I believe both many Germans and many Jews have burned the concept that the Holocaust is an event committed by Germans and an event committed against Jews into their mind for some reason that isn't entirely clear to me (as a German myself). They genuinely seem unable to conceptualize the idea that any group doing those horrible things to any other group is just as bad.

I think they might find a tour of Auschwitz educational.

I think they might learn the wrong lessons.

From the point of view of an Extreme Racist, the only thing that was wrong with Auschwitz was the race of the victims.

People without empathy for some or even any of their fellow human beings, can't really learn the Humanist lesson from the suffering of others ("Never again shall this be allowed to be done to human beings"), as they don't really feel the suffering of others and hence exposure to the horrors of the Holocaust doesn't really elicity feelings like horror and disgust in them when seeing those things done to people - for them the whole thing is just seen as a race vs race event.
