You didn’t answer the question though.
The question, if you recall is: How does defacing Holocaust Memorials help Palestine?
All you did here was explain how 2 things are bad.
No one is arguing that point.
Mispocha I am an American Jew living in Germany who did volunteer work in Israel for October 7th Recovery during the Israel/Hamas War while bombs were literally dropping.
Of all the people on this site who you are going to need to convince? Me. I’m the one that you are going to literally need to convince.
Because I am living and working on top of dead Jews everywhere everyday in every U-Bahn and S-Bahn station I use, in the synagogues I pray in.
There are Holocaust memorials everywhere in Europe. You can barely get through a major city without tripping over somewhere that used to be important to Jews and now it’s just a museum. A memorial and that is where this happened.
Because Europe is where the Holocaust happened and that’s where this defacing happened.
Sorry but Gen Z and Gen Alpha Jews not remembering their holocaust grandparents is not relevant to this.
Especially as survivors are being actively silenced by American institutions. Read the news.
But even if that weren’t happening? And it is.
That has nothing to do with people defacing memorials to the most famous and industrialized genocide the world has ever seen that killed 6 million Jews in 6 years just for being Jews for a war that Hamas started through a mass murder, torture, rape and kidnapping of 1200 people that has been in ceasefire since October 2025 that had between 30 and 60,000 casualties over 2.5 years in an area with a population (assuming Hamas is telling the truth.)
I actually picked up and got on a plane and flew to Israel to help - non-violently - by picking food in the empty farms where Palestinians once worked but Hamas made sure they could not reach anymore and getting things for people in the community run furniture banks for victims whose homes were destroyed and cleaning up debris in homes in a kibbutz where people were murdered. And I stood vigil in Hostage Square. More than once. Which is nothing at all compared to the years that Israelis did.
I went to the Nova Memorial and walked through the forest of faces of the murdered while artillery went off across the border. We could see the smoke on the horizon.
It’s not a fucking genocide.
It was a war for people with faces.
And none of this makes war good.
But I saw the Sukkah set with a table set with 250 places in Hostage Square. I talked to soldiers who were going in and who had come out.
The world stopped for Israel. And the world stopped for me too.
Because I am a Jew and what happens to Jews in Israel happens to me.
And what happened to Jews in 1939 to 1945 happened to me.
And I’m going to be honest with you?
I don’t see the complication. I see you failing to understand the messages that people were attempting to convey to you. I see you failing to understand 80 years of Middle East politics. And I see you speaking in sweeping statements.
This is lacking nuance and proof.
But you still didn’t answer how defacing a Holocaust Memorial helps Palestine.
All you did was say that people have hurt feelings.
Look at the original question.
Because I have told you where I stand.
You need to bring me more than “I heard someone talk about the Holocaust during the Birthright spiel and it made me feel some type of way ☹️ Biden didn’t have cut off Israel cuz he was guilty 😔 I think both sides think the Holocaust is for Israel so that means it’s fair game. 😠
For me to buy that defacing a Holocaust memorial the Netherlands helps Palestinians.
PS you do know when you talk about Biden and Pelosi like that you sound like a MAGA conspiracy theorist, don’t you? Coming from the other direction but same anti-Israel anti-Biden anti-Biden conspiracy as MAGA.
I almost didn’t answer but as a fellow Jew you deserve to know you have been given spiked koolaide.
