Is it an example of racism or not? (a question about Israel)? Why?

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."

Answer 1

My answer is Yes! It's an example of racism the idea of uniqueness
and exceptionism of holocaust is not true, the Nazis have targeted many other races not only Jews.If you took this in addition of the Idea of God's Chosen people you will realize that
It is a brain washing strategy.

Answer 2

Due to the fact that about six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust it is understandable that they are extremely sensitive about the subject. It may very well be racist to say that the murder of the Roma shouldn't be taught in Israeli schools, but I don't think it was intended that way. It is much more likely that the man truly believed that teaching about the murder of the Roma is not as important to the Jews as the murder of the Jews. However, I think it should be taught in Israeli schools as it shows that the Nazis didn't just kill Jews - they killed anybody that they thought inferior, or was a threat to the Nazi regime, including the mentally retarded, homosexuals, and intellectuals (because they might be a threat to the Nazi way of thinking). It would probably be better if the whole story was told, as it makes the Nazis even bigger monsters.

Answer 3

Everyone is a propagandist, everyone is a revisionist, and everyone has an agenda. A sad affair, but truth is the first casualty of war, after all.

It is most important to look at the facts from multiple perspectives and make your own personal opinion about what is what.

To me, that sounds more hypocritical than racist...they're apparently not opposing it because they are Roma but because they think it might detract from what happened to their own people.
