In reply to the discussion: Palestinians Win Statehood Upgrade at U.N. [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)120. ...Where their leader spoke AGAINST holocaust denial.
Now maybe I can say that at the discussion of the holocaust, I may be the representative, the voice of the people who died in the holocaust because my grandparents died there. They were killed in Auschwitz. My parents were from Hungary. My father escaped and his parents remained. He wasnt able to get them out of Hungary and they died in Auschwitz as were other relatives and all the communities that they knew. So to say that they didnt die, to me you can not say that. I am the living remnant of the people who died in the holocaust and I am here, I believe sent by God, to humbly say, simply to speak to the people here and say, 'you should know that the Jewish people died, and do not try to say that it did not happen. They did die.' There are people throughout the Jewish communities, still alive in their seventies and eighties and every one of them will tell you their stories. It is something which you cannot refute, but that being said, it doesnt mean that the holocaust is a tool to use to oppress other people."

But that doesn't play into your own agenda, of pretending you have some sort of authority to grant or dismiss Jewishness dependent on a person's support for political zionism, does it?
