The Los Angeles Holocaust Museum caved into pressure Saturday by scrubbing a social media post that extended the “Never Again” pledge beyond Jewish suffering, bowing to a backlash over drawing parallels to Israel’s actions against Palestinians.
“NEVER AGAIN CAN’T ONLY MEAN NEVER AGAIN FOR JEWS,” the museum wrote in a post on Instagram, owned by US company Meta, a statement many interpreted as comparing the World War II Holocaust to Israel’s attacks and intentional infliction of famine in Gaza.
Facing fierce criticism, the museum deleted the post and issued a defensive statement claiming it was “part of a pre-planned social media campaign intended to promote inclusivity and community” that was “easily open to misinterpretation”
Cowards
Having worked in similar environments, I’d bet good money the person who wrote the post stands by it but was forced to take it down by the higher ups.

“Maybe Jews aren’t the only people who shouldn’t be genocided?”
HOW DARE YOU!
So what I’m hearing is that some more “fierce criticism” needs to be applied to force them to put it back up.

When did Holocaust museums get so woke? I mean, “intended to promote inclusivity”, really? Back in my day we didn’t even have Holocaust museums and we were able to conduct our genocides perfectly well.
America. Land of cowards.
what sort of misinterpretation?
