Should Holocaust Memorial Day Be Boycotted?

//A British Islamic organization that is linked to Iran and has consultative status with the U.N. Economic and Social Council is calling for a boycott of the U.K.’s Holocaust Memorial Day.

It is “morally unacceptable” that the war against Hamas in Gaza is not considered a genocide alongside the Holocaust, the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission wrote in a letter it sent to 460 town halls and educational centers in the United Kingdom.//

Holocaust Memorial Day is marked in Britain on 27 January - this year 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz - and in my opinion cannot be compared in any way to the war in Gaza.  As a human rights group, their time would be more usefully spent in lobbying Hamas to release the Israeli hostages it still holds - but I'd hazard a guess they're not doing it.

No. Absolutely not.

Ridiculous for it to even be suggested, let alone contemplated.

Islamic Human Rights, and which gender of human are they referring to? Sure as eggs is eggs, it ain't women.

Islamic Human Rights, an oxymoron. Do they have a branch in Saudi or Syria, Iran Iraq, etc,?

Holocaust Memorial Day is none of their business and they keep their ever-allahing noses out.

Perlease, of course not.

'Islamic Human Rights' - are those the ones that decree there can't be any Christian churches in Saudi Arabia?

-- answer removed --

even though hypocritical beyond belief, they have a right to petition for a boycott - just as we have a right to tell them 'two fingers' to that protest of yours and get your own House in order'.

Peter Pedant - you have been asked repeatedly to stop posting about your dislike of the Moderators & have previously been suspended because of it.  If you want that to happen again, carry on Mod-bashing, otherwise just contribute to the topic.

on a related matter - should the Polish authorities enact the ICC warrant and arrest Benjamin Netanyahu when he turns up at Oświęcim on the 27th?

I am sure kneeler will be there calling for a boycot.  4m votes to think of.

Not only is the description of genocide in Gaza hotly disputed/denied, it has sad all to do with Auschwitz and WWII anyway.

 

Any official boycott will merely show those who complied with it, in as bad a light as is possible.

 

The fact that an Islamic sect calls for it will just bring more public disgrace on Muslims generally, regardless whether they agreed or vehemently disagreed; so does that religion and it's adherents no favours at all.  No doubt that is unfair to a great many of them who have integrated here, but life isn't fair.

 

Maybe if this Islamic sect instead called for a cessation of terrorist acts against Israel they may be listened to more.

Are those Belgian schools, religion run schools, by any chance ? Or are Belgians particulary given to insulting victims of the Holocaust ?

@11.49.Dont call it Oswiecim friend,call it Auschwitz.The anti-semites on this site dont like to hear the word Auschwitz.

ynnafymmi - Oświęcim is the name of the Polish town.

Auschwitz is the name of the nearby German Death camp.

Yes Jack,i know.Its the word Auschwitz that triggers the anti-semites on this site.

Islamic Human Rights Commission, islam seems to have a rather large foothole in the uk, including asking for a blasphemy law, and all the gaza protests, does this group ever mention the plight of women in iran afghanistan and other islamic countries, it would seem they have no problem killing eachother, but wow be anyone who defends themselves against there barbarity.

Why would they bother about the 'plight' of women, in their mind there is no plight, women are second class citizens and Gays should be thrown of a roof top.

But watch 2TK take the knee to them.

It might be a good idea to bring along all these Islamist nutjobs(and a few from AB also)to Auswitsch and tell them this is/was genocide friend,whats happening now in Palestine in not genocide.God sake.

You think our resident terrorist lovers would go to seek the truth?

This is part of the problem I suspect:

Yes,just imagine bringing our friends from Ireland along.The Irish people,the Irish government,the IRA"freedom fighters"were all allied with Hitlers Nazis.Bastrads.
