Holocaust Memorial BillContribution
the Holocaust and antisemitism. We have all seen tens of thousands of people on our streets calling for the extermination of Jews and a new Holocaust—an absolutely vile and evil protest. As an aside, I am appalled that the police have ignored the worst forms of hate crimes that I have ever seen. I have photographs of the protesters’ signs showing the whole of Israel being pushed into the Mediterranean Sea. Those who say, “We only want to destroy Israel, not necessarily kill Jews”, are lying. Without Israel as a home, Jews will be exterminated again. Do not pretend that “from the river to the sea” posters and slogans do not mean the extermination of Jews. That is another reason why the Holocaust is different: no one is calling for a new genocide in Bosnia, Cambodia or Rwanda, even though Rwanda might want to attack its neighbours.
