The whole purpose of the Holocaust museums are now bunk, time to replace them with something meaningful I guess.
Apologizing for publicly being against genocide is pathetic.
"Disgusting" was the word that crossed my mind, but "disgustingly pathetic" better captures the vibe.
Try "repugnant" on for size... if it doesn't work for you just pass it on to someone else.
So many fucking pathetic people and institutions these days.
Being against genocide is now anti-Semitic.
When will they realize that it's shit like this that makes actual anti-semitism a danger for the Jewish Diaspora?
All they are doing is making things more dangerous for Jewish people.
Zionists don't actually care about Jewish people
Yeah wtf is going on in this world 😞
Also I do find it funny the image has one arm on the left barely holding the others, like it was always ready to not support them... ironic
Dang, even the fucking Holocaust museum won't stand up against another holocaust.
The dusty crater that used to be the site of a dead horse that used to be my faith in humanity just took another beating.
What’s particularly suspect is how little coverage this story has got anywhere; I tried both Google and bing to fact check OP and the only sources for it are social media posts. Literally no actual journalistic source on the first page of search seems to have picked this up.
Journalism does tend to lag over the weekend. Idk if that'll make a difference here though, with Palestinians being so consistently dehumanized by Western media.
Dont breathe that in, that's horse dust...
OK that's the end of my joking, this is fucking terrible and everyone should collectively feel worse for this fucking failure. It does not lessen the fucking holocaust to wish no one else suffers the same!
This is literally worse than nothing. It takes until the 2nd paragraph of their corporate-sanitized message before we read:
WE RECENTLY POSTED AN ITEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA [...] THAT WAS EASILY OPEN TO MISINTERPRETATION [...]
"NEVER AGAIN” CAN'T ONLY MEAN NEVER AGAIN FOR JEWS
Actually, that seems to be extremely difficult to misinterpret. It's a very simple, powerful message, that's actually not political at all. To let others make it political, you're really saying " never again, unless it's hard".
I suspect some wealthy donator made a few phone calls.
So they’re basically saying, “we were wrong, never again means only never again for Jews.”
Actually, I think we should be allowed a little genocide, as a treat.
I guess them being a holocaust museum doesn't need to imply they are against it. Good to know who they actually are.
In fact, it would make them rather unusual. For example, the Corvette museum is pretty pro-Corvette.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
So "Never again, only for jews". got it.
The ADL is a supremacist hate group that equates Zionism with Judaism. Anti-semitism and holocaust are tools for them to enhance Zionism, and there is certainly overlap between supremacism and religion. The ADL/Supremacism influence over Holocaust museum is imaginable, and now obvious. Historical victimhood as a propaganda link to perpetual supremacy is an effective tool. Most minds cannot distinguish between sympathy support for non-genocide and support for supremacism.
It's been a lot of time now, the victim card smells like rotten flesh. Only the now exists to me.
Sometimes again
Power Rangers!
Vocabulary time!
“Pusillanimous” is a word that means “contemptibly timid,” and which applies to a disappointing number of people and institutions these days. Like the Holocaust Museum LA.
so they rlly wanted to virtue signal values unless they become relevant? AND THATS THE APOLOGY?
“We want to be inclusive except when there are victims that we don’t want to include.”
How to generate more antisemitism
Not even the most cowardly thing they’ve done this week. (Edit: I might be conflating two Holocaust museums)

Don't any of these people understand how this looks?
Why would they care about negative opinions when the people expressing negative opinions are mostly worried about appearing non-threatening?
Relevant user name.
Maybe they were pressured into taking it down? Where do they get their money from?
To bend to pressure from fascists is to support fascism. There is no compromise on that point!
To be clear: I'm trying to understand, not to defend or justify
What's to understand? Either they took it down willingly and they're ideologically aligned with the enemy, or they capitulated and they're collaborators with the enemy. It's a distinction without a difference -- either way, they have betrayed everything they previously claimed to stand for and are now the enemy.
Most likely
So, are they saying it is ok to commit genocides against non-Jewish ethnic groups, then? I'm not sure what message they're trying to send with this retraction.
Probably not. Just that when they say never again, it's only the holocaust they mean. I suppose if they wanted to speak out against genocide as a phenomenon they would word it something like 'This should not happen ever' or the like lmao
Well, at least they eliminated the strategic ambiguity on this 🥱
