      What are you doing on blahaj zone, mate? That’s the trans instance. She denied the genocide of trans people during the holocaust. She denied the book burnings of the research by the institute of sex and gender research.

          I read your article, and I found this:

          claims that trans people were ‘the first targets’ of the Nazis – a claim I refuted on X, and which led to these accusations

          - JK “Just Kidding” Rowling

          But that’s a lie. Because she wasn’t accused for saying that. She was accused for saying this:

          image

          Rowling had to lie about what she said, because she knows that what she said is incorrect and also holocaust denial.

          She has gone on to tell the same lie about why she’s being attacked multiple times, despite having been fact checked on it and arguing back against the fact checking. Because she’s a lying bigot.

          And it’s not surprising that Jewish News UK printed these lies excusing holocaust denial, because they’re lying fascists. They have a track record of supporting Israel’s genocide. They like genocide, they’re fascists who print lies!

              The Wikipedia also says

              the term Holocaust is sometimes used to include the murder and persecution of non-Jewish groups, such as the Romani and Soviet POWs.

              And I disagree, because it’s not sometimes. It’s most of the time.

              Encyclopedia Brittanica: Holocaust, the systematic state-sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany

              History.com: The Holocaust was the state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of millions of European Jews, Romani people, the intellectually disabled, political dissidents and homosexuals by the German Nazi

              See, I think it’s really irresponsible to do as Rowling does and make the Holocaust solely about Jewish people and not the other groups.

              First, the etymological argument. Holocaust means whole-burning. Not Jew-burning. It’s not called the Loudaicaust, is it? Indeed, according to Wikipedia, people used to say “The Jewish holocaust” up until special importance was assigned to the Jewish persecution and people began to conflate the two.

              Second and more importantly, the ethical argument. When we assign special importance to the persecution of Jewish people, we forget the historical oppression of other groups. Which is exactly what Hitler, Rowling, and Netanyahu want us to forget. All three are aligned as fascists who want to tear down history and forget the suffering of those they deem subhuman. Anti-semitism does not exist in a vacuum. It always operates as part of a broader ideology we call fascism. The ideology of all three of these people. The Holocaust is what the fascists did. They did it to many different people. Never forget.

              And finally, you moved the goalposts. When you cited Jewish News UK, your position was that she didn’t deny the persecution of trans people, because that’s what Jewish News said. You’ve already lost the argument, and now you’re trying to save face for Rowling by quibbling over technicalities.

                  Modern Israeli politics aside, and thats a huge aside, saying that antisemitism doesn’t exist is a bold claim seeing as the one thing you can bet on existing pretty much any time and any where in the last couple millenia is antisemitism.

                  I’m not Jewish. I have no dog in this race. I just like going down history rabbit holes and it always makes me laugh when “Opinions on Jewish People” seems to show up randomly as a section on the wiki. Almost like it’s a genetic predisposition in some people. It’s fascinating.

                    Please tell us about modern-day antisemitism. It would actually be awesome to hear the examples cited in the video existing. Prove me wrong.

                    And calling worldwide Jewish exceptionalism both in politics and in society “modern Israeli politics” is pretty fucking crazy, not gonna lie.

              On your last paragraph, I know. Rowling is a Nat-Z as well. That’s why I found it extremely unlikely that she’s a Holocaust denier

              What do you mean by this? Aren’t most Nazis denying the Holocaust?

              and why I used a Jewish supremacist source as they would never let that slide.

              I’d argue the opposite. Supremacists of any kind don’t care about facts and only care about “their side”

                Nat-Z stands for National Zionist. And I’m not a Jewish supremacist.

                What I meant by that was that any kind of rhetoric that would harm the Zio victim narrative in any way would get a huge hit piece from them, not defense.

          Rowling has been on a rampant lawfare against organizations and individuals that call her on her bullshit, that’s why there are many cases of people having to apologize to her publicly.

          Also why are you linking to a Zionist tabloid?

        But transphobia and nazism are different things

        Also, wouldnt holocaust denial be when you deny that the holocaust existed (to say that the nazis werent that bad), not when you deny that a certain group was targeted?
