The absolute absurdity of all of this is that The US Holocaust Museum specializes in studying genocides across the globe. USHMM literally provide a framework for not just teaching The Holocaust but extend that framework to other genocides. See below (also linked here) for an example of their work in “genocide prevention”:
So for an institution of this kind to deny the comparisons between Israel’s genocide in Gaza with The Holocaust despite the work they’ve done to use The Holocaust as a teaching tool on genocide, they are actively participating - they are collaborating with Israel - to silence and erase Palestinians in Gaza. Linked there is an article by USHMM on how collaboration with Nazis was key to the success of their “Final Solution” as is the mass collaboration of institutions like USHMM alongside Western governments key to Israel’s “Final Solution” in Gaza. Every single thing they have outlined in their work as an institution can be used to define the genocide in Gaza, and they’re fine in using The Holocaust to identify factors that contributed to genocide in Rwanda, Burma, Bosnia, etc. And yet, they refuse to speak on Gaza other than to legitimize the Zionist state of Israel and delegitimize the state of Palestine. This goes to show that even the foremost experts on genocide - even the most educated people on this topic - can still contribute to and actively participate in genocide when their own biases go unchecked and it is for that reason that no institution should get to gatekeep the definitions of genocide.
The hypocrisy is astounding.
Actually the rest of the thread is pretty important:
