The irony is that anyone who's a Jew (and many who don't) know the phase "Never again". It's meant to convey "never again will we let concentration camps, pogroms, and the like happen".

And yet ... like a lot of things humans claim to believe in ... some Jews (and others who claim to believe in "never again") not only ignore "never again" ... they're at the forefront of pushing for these policies!

And if you ask some of them about the contradiction, it comes out that (to them) the phrase only means "never again ... to Jews". Doing to other people what the Nazis (and Russians, and all sorts of other groups throughout history) have done to the Jews is ok ... as long as "someone who isn't like me" is the victim.

Who have you actually asked about this? I defy you to name a real Jewish person that you've asked this question, who has given you that answer. I want proof.

There are entire class of them ("neocons" ... and those are from the only Jews who don't give a crap about another Holocaust happening to Palestinians).

I don't know what you expect me to do, introduce you to one?

This story has nothing to do with Jews or Jewish views.

Blaming Jews for everything is so 1930s.

It's unfortunately very much a thing still. The Right only cares about Israel for 2 reasons:

  1. That sweet, sweet AIPAC money (but that's a "both sides" issue)
  2. Enabling the apocalypse that they crave

This isn't snark, it's how things are -- all of this is easily verified:

And first reasonable hit on the anti-semitism thing (but plenty more out there): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11922252/

You are making antisemitic accusations.

Go and read the calls to kill palestinians and "goyim" in general on israeli newspspers sites, denying them the basic dignity as humans. Then speak about "antisemitism", hypocrite.

And you are being a antisemitic by claiming all Jews support Israel.

Jews are not one unified people who all share the same thoughts and beliefs. Pretending they are is (ultimately) doing the same thing Jew haters (and homophobes, and racists, and ...) do.

Don’t appropriate “antisemitism” in support of your antisemitism. That’s disgusting.
