For the Jewish state, the Holocaust is a tool to be manipulated

In Haaretz last week Gideon Levy summed up how appropriate it was for this monster to head Yad Vashem – perhaps he could arrange guided tours to include Deir Yassin – and perhaps instal a statue of Begin at Kfar Shaul – the Israeli psychotherapeutic clinic built on the ruins of Deir Yassin. But I suppose there are already too many statues of this fascist mass murderer in Israel already.
But don’t worry – in the UK the mass media are wholly dominated by worship of this racist state – more so than in Israel itself. Truly, the UK is a country Pompeo can be proud of. And Starmer, too, of course..
Ably assisted by elements in the Labour Party
Does this politicization of the Holocaust extend to the proposal to construct a Holocaust Memorial and Museum next to Parliament on the grounds of the Royal Park, Victoria Tower Gardens? How will this be received?
If the image which heads this article does indeed come from the Holocaust museum, am I the only one to think that it looks more like a memorial to Nazism? I appreciate that the (inverted) swastika is not something to be air-brushed out, but for it to be displayed with quite that much prominence?
