@ntfem @BBCr4today who chooses the historic moments we should 'never forget' and the ones we should brush under the carpet.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today The British lost their empire fighting two world wars and they have to think it was cos they were saving the Jews.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today Did you know that England under under Edward I did what Hitler utterly failed to do? http://t.co/R3HgGqW7db

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today It was not just the English who hated Jews, of course, for antisemitism was endemic in Christian Europe.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today British lost their empire cos a Liberal PM was trying to win an election - that is the perniciousness of democracy.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today If WW2 was a continuation of WW1, as some historians say, then Britain lost its empire because of WW1.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today In both WW1 and WW2 it was Britain that declared war on Germany, not the other way round.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today Holocaust Memorial Day also makes me think of David Irving he being Britain's most infamous Holocaust Denier.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today I believe the British political establishment have even more of an interest in affirming the Holocaust than Jews.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today The British need to believe they lost their empire over a worthwhile cause not cos of an electioneering Liberal PM.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today If enough people concluded that representative democracy lost the British their empire, then they would give it up.

@AreWeRobots @BBCr4today The British, known to have the greatest empire since life on earth began, lost it in about 30 years thru democracy.

Apparently bearing another ethnicity is a protection against racism.
ReplyDeleteBut this article is utterly racist.

Damn these people competing to be more Holocausty than thou!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we call it Universal Victimhood Day and throw it open to everyone?
HMD is about modern genocides. Not just the murder of Jews. It's not about victimhood and it's not for my benefit or the advantage of any group. It's about remembering hatred and murder, so that we can educate and avoid future instances of it.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a whole black history month in the UK? Perhaps it's that "black culture" is patronisingly homogenising. And reduces the story of the Windrush generation, recent Commonwealth immigrants and French, American communtiies to one mass.
ReplyDeletePogroms will happen when government breaks down. I genuinely did not know that HMD was also for gentiles. I bet most people don't know it, probably that black woman who was whingeing on Huffington Post.
ReplyDeleteIt's not really for Jews at all. We have other days for memorial in the Jewish calendar. 9 Av. 10 Tevet. Yom Hazikaron
ReplyDeleteIs it for Palestinians as well?
ReplyDeleteWe must all campaign to make Nakba Day (15 May) a National Day of rememberance in the UK and throughout Europe. Talk to MPs now.
We must not close our ears, eyes and minds to the ongoing racism hatred and murder against the Palestinians
We could call Holocaust Memorial Day World Victimhood Day so everyone in the world can get on the Jewish bandwagon.
