AOC would not know WHAT Kampuchea was, let alone find it on a map.
...”300 idiots.”...
YES! This is what happens when new generations come along who are far removed from the events of the past. Very few have read or watched documentaries of what happened in the real concentration camps under Hitler’s socialism/communism. The other thing is that those who seem so ignorant may not be ignorant at all in many cases but, in fact, just do not care about the suffering of those they oppose. I would be willing to bet that these are the same people who delight in an abortion industry which does not see anything wrong with the murder of babies up until birth and even, infanticide, after birth if the baby is born alive. They hate those whose do not see life exactly as they do and, probably, would love to set up more concentration camps, sort of like those we read about in the holocaust, for their perceived enemies. I have watched these people, on the left, and in the leftist media all through the Obama years up until now, and, in my long lifetime, have never seen such distortions of the truth or such hatred in my country. Anyone who does not understand the danger the US is in from the violence, hate and fake perceptions coming from the left need to begin an honest investigation of US history as opposed to World history and then make up his/her own mind about how to respond to whatever the future holds. May God bind the evil now besetting us and show us how to truly love Him and others, no matter who or what they are.
Did you go through the list of the signatories available at the link?
A who’s who of people I’ve never heard of teaching courses at places I’d never entrust with my kid.
And I see the word “emeritus” quite a bit.
SNORT.
Universities have become mental concentration camps.
These scholars are also anti-Israel.
If Israel opened their borders to millions of Muslims...well, can you say Holocaust II?
“300 idiots.”
They need to be outed.
The concentration camps were DEATH and TORTURE camps! The illegals from mehico, Guatemala, Honduras, Haiti, Dominican republic, el Salvador live better than at home the moment they are taken into custody!
If people from around the world are streaming in for the chance to stay there... then it isn't a Concentration Camp.
If no work is required, no random punishments are handed out, and no human experimentation is being done... then it isn't a Concentration Camp.
If people aren't being lined up for mass executions... then it isn't a Concentration Camp.
If people aren't being kept permanently against their will... then it isn't a Concentration Camp.
If people are not being starved to death... then it isn't a Concentration Camp.
Liberals are soooo desperate to pretend they are fighting the great monsters from history (helping illegals is the Underground Railroad, the NBA is slavery, etc). Those Virtue Signal addictions are a bitch to shake.
...according to 300 antisemitic "scholars" who are so very concerned about the holocaust museum's credibility.
OK let’s LOOK at the comparison!
“Damn leftists are pissing me off! How dare they...?”
How dare they do most of what they do?
Simple: There are no questionings, no accountability, no repercussions, no backlash, no impeachment, no charges, no punishment, no imprisonment.
How would 14 year olds behave in those circumstances?
Proggies/lefties are intellectually stuck at about that age. Adult children. They dare quite easily.
“Scholars = Leftist propagandists”
Hence the push by teachers, profs, MSM and rats for college for all. College is Socialization Indoctrination Level II (Socialization Indoctrination Level I is our pubic schools).
Do they really want to make a list?
They are just too stupid.
..................
The letter is here on NY Review of Books, a scholarly publication I'm sure. Interesting they didn't complain to Yad Vashem.
Hundreds of “scholars” couldn’t possibly be wrong!
I’ve been to Yad Vashem.
I don’t think Sandy(AOC) has been there.
“very core of Holocaust education is to alert the public to dangerous developments that facilitate human rights violations and pain and suffering; pointing to similarities across time and space is essential for this task”
There are two major ways where that statement from the so-called scholars is an intellectual lie.
1. Illegal aliens do not have a “civil right” to illegally enter a country because they chose to. The Jews rounded up in the Holocaust were legal citizens or legal residents of the nations from which they were rounded up, or legal citizens or residents of the nations they fled from before being rounded up in the nations they had fled to. There is zero “civil rights” comparison between the Jews rounded up in the Holocaust and illegal aliens.
2. The Holocaust primarily singled out a single ethnic group as its essential victims - the Jews. U.S. laws against illegal aliens crossing the U.S. border are not executed with discrimination - enforced against only some and not others. Again the “civil rights” comparison by the scholars is false.
