jewish-privilege:benimaiko:lesbeet:pansexuanarchy:sydneykrukowski:pansexuanarchy:jewish-privilege:Appalling: Holocaust memorial in Thessaloniki, Greece desecrated with “Free Palestine” graffiti. 94% of the city’s 50,000 Jews were murdered by the Nazis, virtually wiping out the Jewish community; today only 1,000 Jews remain. (Link to original tweet.)Y'all are honestly so extra and dumb. It wasn’t desecrated, they drew with chalk on the sidewalk. Odds are it was written by anarchists, which Surprise! Fucking hate Nazis and the holocaust. It’s not a desecration of your memorial, it’s saying if you want to remember the holocaust also remember the genocide of the Palestinians at the hands of the Zionist state. Being anti Zionism is not being anti Semitic, it’s just recognizing that a fascist apartheid state should not be tolerated.Wow haha I totally forgot that the now-nonexistent Jewish population of a city in Greece was responsible for the oppression of Palestinians half a century later. How could I have let that one slip my mind. What an appropriate venue for this message.Y'all acting like the person that did this was saying “haha fuck Jews because of Zionism” instead of saying “The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is related to the holocaust in that the oppressed were being displaced and murdered en masse. Those remembering the people killed in the holocaust should also remember those who are dying now at the hands of crypto fascist states.”They didn’t graffiti on the fucking sculpture, they didn’t say anything anti Semitic, they actually didn’t even do anything illegal here. They drew on the sidewalk in front of it, and they spread a positive message. The fact that that gets you all so worked up is ridiculous. no that’s literally exactly what they’re saying. they’re saying “fuck jews because of zionism” and the fact that you can’t see that is p concerningTo me it looks like they are “literally exactly” saying “Free Palestine.” The fact that they chose to make that statement in front of a holocaust memorial is in incredibly bad taste but “Free Palestine” does not mean “Fuck Jews.” Only Zionists believe that supporting a free Palestinian state is offensive.Cool. So, the graffiti has since been cleaned up and almost immediately replaced with graffiti supporting the Golden Dawn party. You know…Nazis. Still, I’m sure it’s only bad taste they decided to do so in front of a Holocaust memorial in a city where 94% of the Jewish population was exterminated. Just bad taste, not antisemitism.
