Tennessee judge shares links saying 'Jews should get the f*** over the Holocaust'

[InTheEnd]

Saying they should get over it is not the equivalent of denying it happened. But I'm not surprised to see who is behind the backlash (ADL).

[PosPosPos]

Well, at some point they have to get over it.
Nearly every community on this planet has a dark side to it's past and eventually they have to move on.

I don't mean forget what happened, lest it is repeated but put it in the past.

Same goes for my fellow Germans.

Problem is when there's a statistically-relevant number of people trying to repeat history.

"Putting it in the past" isn't limited to the victims, in fact it applies much more to the aggressors.

It's priceless for those trying to reenact the Holocaust to tell the Jews to get over it. But not surprising, deplorables will be deplorable.

Such an ignorant statement.

Genocide permanently destroys communities, ruins futures, and fragments minority populations. Look at what the Turks did to the Assyrians. They are practically on the cusp of extinction thanks to that genocide that occurred almost 100 years ago.

I really don't think the turks (ottomans) committed a genocide against the Assyrians.


Not unless they found a time machine to travel back in time about 3000 years.


If you however mean Armenians, then yes, you're right.

The Assyrian or Syriac genocide (also known as Sayfo or Seyfo, "Sword"; Syriac: ܩܛܠܥܡܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ‎ or ܣܝܦܐ) refers to the mass slaughter of the Syriac Christian population of the Ottoman Empire and those in neighbouring Persia by Ottoman troops during the First World War, in conjunction with the Armenian and Greek genocides.

The Ottomans persecuted Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians.

It is still more recent than slavery.

The issue isn't really slavery.

The issue is the decades of brutal American apartheid that followed slavery. That shit didn't end until a few decades ago, and some aspects of it linger to this day.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

i agree with that sentiment.

they should get over the holocaust, and it's strange to me that they're the only group with so much protection for borderline ancient events.

People are alive today that lived through the holocaust.

[Sunseeker]

I mean lets face it, this is pretty much the base platform of all Republican parties: everyone else needs to stop complaining because we're tired of hearing it.
Babies? Stop whining you had sex.
School shootings? Stop whining guns are awesome.
Rape? Stop whining you dressed that way.

I mean at first I was kinda joking but then I stopped and looked at their policies and realized that almost everything they support can be summed up as "Shut up and stop whining because we find you annoying."

[Yadryonych]

I wasn't aware 70~ years was ancient.

Well, Japanese got over two nuclear strikes almost instantly, so... yeah, they probably should

[JessicaJones]

American jews forfeit their right to moan about the holocaust when they allowed Israel to run rampant.

[Orby]

Seems a bit excessive :P

[Unholyground]

The reason it is important is because it could have happened with any race/religion/group and is the most recent example of it that and still has lingering repercussions.

[LiiLoSNK]

The modern day Jews should get over the holocaust. It's history. Grow balls and move on. You didn't go through shit. Stop crying.

Would I ever say the above statements at work or in public? Obviously not. Because I'm not a retard like this retarded judge. If you're too fucking stupid to avoid posting memes about controversial shit like this, you're faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too stupid to be a judge. This dumbass deserves everything he gets.

*Disclaimer: If you were one of the old jews who actually lived the holocaust days and survived, you don't have to get over it. You are 100% allowed to be mad forever. Sorry you had to deal with that shit.*

[LiiLoSNK]

Yeah they definitely arent over that

Can confirm. Just look at some Japanese commercials and tell me if you find one that makes actual sense. Their brains are more scrambled than the craziest/most pathetic of the mental patients of America.

They are definitely still feeling the effects of the bombs.

Well, that didn't happen with the Jews. Plenty left, stronger then ever, with a very tight-knit community spanning the whole world and they even claimed their own country.

[xuros]

might as well be.

it's sure as hell not relevant to anything today.

Well slavery was well over 100 years ago and people still rage on about that.

He's elected to office. Let the voters take care of it.

I don't think that many people are upset about slavery. I think people are more upset at what came after slavery, because it impacted a certain demographic's culture, economics and mindset.

Yep, i was wrong. Another day i learn something new. Interesting to see it worded this way in english, as in my native language Assyrians refers only to ancient peoples. My bad.

Even if because of his actions and leanings he cannot judge fairly?

I get the intention why a country would want to elect its judges, but the election system for judges in the US is a nightmare.

[Be Careful]

Guilt is a weapon like any other and it has served them well. They will never discard it willingly.

The anime and merchandise that's come out of japan proves this is a lie.
