Well, I guess that we weren’t all that crazy or antisemitic when we called Holocaust museums and memorials accountable for not putting enough effort in enforcing the Never Again message, regardless of where a genocide happens and who it targets.
The LA Holocaust museum posted Never again can’t only mean never again for Jews in an Instagram post.
After receiving some praise from some pro-Palestine activists, the post was promptly removed and replaced with the following statement:
We recently posted an item on social media that was part of a pre-planned campaign intended to promote inclusivity and community that was easily open to misinterpretation by some to be a political statement reflecting the ongoing situation in the Middle East. That was not our intent. We will ensure that posts in the future are more thoughtfully designed and thoroughly vetted.
In other words: sorry for posting anything that resembled even a remote connection with the current genocide in Gaza, and for daring to say that the word “genocide” shouldn’t be applied only to Jews.

I can’t even imagine how sober scholarly history books write about this.
