Fmr Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz laments to Jewish Federation that people are finding content from “Al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes” on social media and seeing videos of “the carnage in Gaza.”

Holocaust education has backfired in part as people see Palestinians as Jews’ victims, she adds.

“They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.”

    If she said any of this in a slightly different way it would be indistinguishable from a bloodthirsty maniac. She says:

    • Media was better when it was purely American and controlled by two or three corporations. People seeing the opinions and media of foreigners is bad

    • Video footage of genocide can be explained away using tables and statistics. Children seeing actual photographic evidence of genocide should be easily persuaded into believing the opposite of their lying eyes through curated graphs

    • The holocaust is not an event that can be compared to other instances of racism and genocide. In particular, it can not be used to discuss similar treatment of black people by white people, and it certainly cannot be used to discuss the current state of Palestinians.

    This is just an outright evil person, right?

      I’d say that what she is saying already sounds like stuff a bloodthirsty maniac would say.

      So yes, she is an outright evil person.

      I’m starting to think the parts of the Holocaust where gay people, catholics, Roma people, communists etc were killed didn’t bother her using this logic.
