Holocaust Memorial BillContribution
In conclusion, there is no justification for adding other genocides and breaking the solemn declaration that we signed in Stockholm in 2000 and again in 2020. If we are to add others, the choice should be a lot better than those weirdly selected ones of Darfur, Cambodia, Bosnia and Rwanda. None of the past countries that have suffered genocide—except perhaps for Burma and China and what Putin is doing in Ukraine—have continuing calls for a new genocide. No one is denying their genocides like we have with Holocaust denial, which is why it is essential that this learning centre concentrates on the Holocaust and the rising tide of antisemitism only—nothing else. I beg to move.
