Is that racism or no? (a question about Israel)?

Question

1994: A proposal to teach Israeli high school students about the murder of Roma by the Nazis draws loud protests, especially from Yad Vashem, Israel's national Holocaust memorial. Critics say the curriculum, titled "Sensitivity to Suffering in the World," would blur the uniqueness of the Holocaust.

While:

1933-1945: Up to 1,500,000 Sinti and Roma are killed in Europe by the Nazi regime and its puppet states. Determining the percentage or number of Roma who died in the Holocaust is not easy. Much of the Nazi documentation still remains to be analyzed, and many murders were not recorded, since they took place in the fields and forests where Roma were apprehended.

For Taranto:
- it was funny that you decided that I am not Jew from my question;
- also the fact is amazing that you accept partial truth at academic level (i.e. in "scientifical approach" to history), which arises not from inability to know...

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Most sites put the number at about a Million -- with another one to two million Catholics (non-Gypsy) being killed in the Holocaust as well.

I sometimes wonder why people refer just to the six million Jews who were killed -- when the total number was closer to nine million.

That being said -- Jews have a right to remember their own -- just as you do.

Answer 3

Sadly, there is nothing unique about killing large numbers of people based solely on the culure/colour/religion/etc. History keeps repeating.

So yes, the decision was racist in that it promoted a limited, even revisionist, version of the events of WW11.

Answer 4

We should mourn and remember all those murdered, and vow to do all in our power to never let it happen again.

What did you do during the Rwanda genocide? I did nothing and I am ashamed.
