"Why use Jews as a means to teach people that we’re all the same, when the demand that Jews be just like their neighbors is exactly what embedded the mental virus of anti-Semitism in the Western mind in the first place?" - Dara Horn

Hey beloved and fellow Jewish people! If you don't want to mark #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay, that is totally fine!! Remember it's more for the non-Jewish world than for us. It's THEIR responsibility, not ours.

You are not responsible for #PeopleLoveDeadJews.

I'm a 3G and one would think that I'd be focused on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

And of course the tragedy that killed so much of my family, and most of European Jewry is important.

But reading "People Love Dead Jews" opened my eyes. Like the author, I'm tired of Holocaust Education being treated as Antisemitism training. Antisemitism did not begin nor end with the Holocaust, and it's time to push for more.

There's a term for people who "feel awful about the Holocaust" but want to see Israel destroyed and turned back to "Palestine".

They're call "People Who Love Dead Jews"

Because we Jews are sick of being sacrificed as part of some point about humanity or society or politics or whatever.

This is my fear as well.

I'm glad that gentiles care about Holocaust memorials being vandalized, but I want to see more outrage when a Jews are attacked on the streets, or when anti-Jewish policies are put in place on university campuses.

This is why I use the hashtag #PeopleLoveDeadJews , because it's so incredibly apt :(

@jwolfiedog

Yes, I agree.

I'm a bit surprised at the traction this post has gotten.

What makes me anxious is that while I see outrage about this, I also see the rise in antisemitism worldwide.

There is a book called #PeopleLoveDeadJews that makes me worried that people are more concerned about the memorial than the living Jews under threat :(

@greenorchids

I find the response to this story surprising.

I used to post about incidents like this, or worse, somewhat often and get very little in terms of response.

My working thesis is that most of the incidents I'd report on were about, eg a Jewish shop being protested/vandalized, or a child being attacked in the street because they're Jewish- and it wouldn't get much attention.

But a Holocaust memorial being vandalized elicits outrage.
