killing.more.people.is.worseWhat does she mean by the word "universal" because no definition I am familiar with fits this sentence?
"Replacing the memory of the Holocaust with that of other struggles — even legitimate ones — poses a grave threat and betrays the spirit of "Never again", which was meant as a universal call for vigilance, not as a pretext for contemporary hostility toward Jews." https://www.ajc.org/news/the-gaza-auschwitz-comparison-a-moral-failure published by the #AmericanJewishCommittee (never heard of them before) author Simone Rodan-Benzaquen oversees AJC’s offices in #Berlin
I can't even work out how this fits with any known definition of "again" or "vigilance"? If the Holocaust was such a unique historical event that resembles nothing in the present day … you've already defined away the possibility of "again", that is not vigilance, that's total negligence.
#NeverAgain means never again TO anyone and never again BY anyone.
