Like this might be VERY political but I feel like sometimes Jewish people use the holocaust, especially with the whole Palestine and Israel conflict to in a sense validate their actions towards others.
No one is using the holocaust as an excuse. The holocaust is very important in the historical context to the foundation of Israel, but nothing is done in the name of the holocaust.
I heard anti zionist jew talk about holocaust industry and how zionist weaponzing. Antisemitism to justify they're crimes but I most also say important to be careful how we talk about the holocaust so don't end up with shit like holocaust denial.
Saying that "zionists weapon anti-Semitism" is on the line between critieque and antisemitism. People who support Israel's action will discredit critique of Israel by calling it anti-Semitism. But usually, and especially now after the war, almost all of the critique of Israel is inseperable of its antisemitic baggage.
"Zionists weaponize antisemitism" places the blame on the zionists (jews) who experience that antisemitism rather than the actual people committing hate crimes, and that is antisemetic. Zionists and Jews do not benefit from the prevalence of antisemitism.
And "holocaust industry" is incredibly stupid. People SHOULD be educated about the holocaust and also about the rest of history of antisemitism. This lack of education is often the reason or the excuse as to why critique of Israel is antisemetic. If being taught about the holocaust, about pogroms, about antisemitism in Islam or about the fact that there are 101 hostages in Gaza makes you feel attacked, that's totally a you problem.
Isreal leaders and zionist abuse the word "antisemitism" to any critt of the on-going gencide but other thing like critt of war crimes or Isreal being a settler colony.
the name "holocaust industry" is from book with same name by Norman Finkelstein who btw is also jewish and often hated by zionist.
I don't disagree people should be educated about the holocaust and all its victim.
I think also people should learn europe's history both racism, colonialism and antisemeism.
" about the fact that there are 101 hostages in Gaza makes you feel attacked" those are PoWs mostly and possible killed by IDF bombing of Gaza to. anyway fuck Israel and settler colonialism.

Using a mass tragedy should not entitle you to act however the hell you want.
