Ironically the US Holocaust Museum is basically a part of Israel's PR wing and has done extensive work in whitewashing Israel's modern-day Holocaust in Palestine, even saying that "Never again" only means "never again for Jews" and genocides of other people is OK. It should be shut down for that reason, not Trump's.

    “It’s appalling that a museum established for the purpose of educating the public about genocide and the Holocaust not only refuses to acknowledge the reality of Israel’s actions in Gaza, but [is] removing a social media post that merely stated that ‘never again’ is not intended for just Jews, in order for it to not be interpreted as a response to the genocide in Gaza.”

    Wow. That's from the first link. I didn't get to the rest.

    That last one. YIKES.

    [...] said United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Chairman Stuart E. Eizenstat. “All sectors of society must unflinchingly confront antisemitism in all of its forms—including anti-Zionism—before it provokes more violence against innocent people. [...]"

    The deafening irony of that statement. I know what's intended, but it can also be read as meaning to confront the twisted and redefined form of antisemitism itself. Which is to say: divorce it of anything to do with zionism.
