A speechwriter for prominent Democrats including former President Barack Obama and presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and John Kerry faced widespread outrage this week after video emerged of her blaming Holocaust education for young Jews’ empathy for Palestinians in Gaza and revulsion at Israel’s genocidal war there.
Earlier this week, Sarah Hurwitz—who was also a senior speechwriter for former First Lady Michelle Obama and other Democrats—spoke at the opening plenary of this year’s Jewish Federations of North America general assembly in Washington, DC. The event featured speakers including Free Press staff writer Olivia Reingold, who implicitly attempted to absolve Israel from blame for the Gaza famine by noting that 12 of the at least 463 Palestinians who starved to death had preexisting health conditions.

“Holocaust education is too successful, it made the kids anti-holocaust while Israel is trying to do one,” quipped one prominent critic.
they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews,” she added, “…so when on TikTok all day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it’s not surprising that they think, ‘Oh, I know, the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel, you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.’”
Well, duh! That’s the truth of the matter. Very on-brand for a genocide apologist to be against people learning to spot obvious similarities between systematic ethnic cleansing and other systematic ethnic cleansing.
“But I think it may be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism, because they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews,” she added, “…so when on TikTok all day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it’s not surprising that they think, ‘Oh, I know, the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel, you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.’”
Bro, what fucking lesson did you take from the holocaust?
I think the lesson was that the holocaust was bad because it was against Jews, rather than it being bad because it was a fucking genocide
the lesson is that you don’t let people witness the strong hurting the weak. they’ve already enacted this lesson upon legacy media decades ago and are now applying it to social media as well; the next generation will never be able to see a live streamed genocide like genz did.
I am learning every single day that MOST people on this planet seem to ENJOY the suffering of others. They don’t just find it a necessary evil, they take glee in it.
It’s incredible how truly evil so many people are.
It’s the 10 10 80 rule
10% always want people to suffer. 10% always want good. And 80% can go either way
“they killed some of us…that means we get to have our own holocaust”
Another sterling example of the genocidal Democratic Party.
