‘I am my brother’s/sister’s keeper’: For Jews, the resonances of the #BosnianGenocide , the worst mass killings and ethnic cleansing in Europe since the Holocaust, are clear, even deafening: From the expulsions, selections, camps, massacres and then, the denial - a THREAD

It takes impressive mental gymnastics for US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman to pivot from the Nazi pogrom that signalled the start of the extermination of European Jewry to 'far left mobs', and equate them. Certainly a strange way to mark Kristallnacht

Postscript on why Jews in Belgium don't find Nazi-style Jewish caricatures funny: Nazis killed 24,000 Belgian Jews, mostly in Auschwitz. One spark of hope: By the end of the war, helped by fellow citizens, more than 40% of Jews in Belgium were in hiding

24K Jews living in #Belgium were murdered in the Holocaust. Today, deadly #antisemitism is on the rise again throughout Europe. Events like the #AalstCarnaval parade that promote antisemitism and stoke hatred and potentially violence must be denounced by all segments of society.
