A Jewish Labour Movement spokesperson said: “Kate Osamor’s original actions and non-apology were disgraceful and smeared the memory of all those who died in the Holocaust and subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Darfur, Rwanda and Bosnia, as commemorated by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. It is right that, as we understand, she has received a formal written warning from the Labour party.
This is warped. They are trivialising if not ignoring the ongoing genocide in Gaza
Not to mention trivializing the Holocaust by using it cynically like this
