They don’t exist. Jews have a more than 3,500 year history and the term “Palestinian” has been applied to Muslim Arabs (vs everyone in the region including Jews) exclusively since 1967. There is no moral equivalence and “Palestinians” are in no way the indigenous people of Israel. The left hates that fact because truth isn’t a left wing priority when facts stand in opposition to their narrative. you don’t like that because it isn’t “nice”? Too bad. It’s still true.

MENKEN: AOC Is Dividing Americans And Inciting Anti-Semitism

After Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) used “concentration camps” and “Never Again” together — a unique reference to the Nazi death camps — and then retweeted leftist Jews hoping to justify the linkage while she simultaneously denied that she ever connected them in the first instance, I honestly thought it couldn’t get worse.

Do people even comprehend why so many of us take this so seriously? Jews, especially over the past few years, have been subjected continually to a rising barrage of antisemitism, physical attacks, an anti-Israel movement that uses propaganda to increasingly mainstream the lie that anti-Zionism is not antisemitism, and a never ending exploitation of OUR history to legitimize any number of political agendas. The reason why the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Yad Vashem, the Auschwitz Museum & the US Holocaust Museum stepped in is because hijacking the language of the Holocaust has been a tool of Holocaust deniers for a very long time. So whether people defending "AOC" understand this or not, there is NO valid use of Holocaust imagery absent literal genocide. That is exactly why no one had a problem applying Holocaust imagery to Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia etc., however applying that imagery to detention centers run by the United States, only serves to trivialize the absolute nightmare of genocide.

AOC knows this, so does Ilhan Omar. The fact that some Jews, unfortunately, agree with them is a sign of their own devotion to ideology or ignorance of the Holocaust, and our own history (unfortunately, neither is unusual), NOT evidence of authority on the subject. Being born Jewish, or having relatives murdered during WWII, does not automatically imbue you with an authoritative understanding of the Shoah or anything else. Legitimate criticism of the border situation deserves a serious public discussion, you can do that without appropriating the worst genocide in human history, and more importantly, without exploiting the memory of its victims.
