    Metula, the town the mayor in question governs, is the furthest one away from Gaza that’s still actually in Israel. this is like that ex-Obama administration official from a few weeks ago being islamophobic - basically has nothing to do with the situation in Gaza, like, at all.

    do some actual journalism, for once?

        so if some random person in Israel stated their opinion - regardless of what is was - and it was “reported”, it’d be relevant? because that’s what is happening here.

          Yes dude.

          The point isn’t that the museum is responding to some fuckwit mayor, that’s just a minor detail.

          The point is that they’re saying anything at all and making their position loud and clear, when up until now they’ve stayed silent.

      Mate, even if it was the mayor of Upton Snodsbury in Worcestershire who had made this comment, I would be glad to see the Auschwitz Museum had responded to them. The fact it was a mayor in the country in question makes it even more relevant.

      Never again means never again. It means challenging genocide and ethnic cleansing every time, at every step along the road that leads to these outcomes - not just waiting until the trains are already on their way to the death camps before your raise your voice.
