      XPost: can.politics, soc.culture.canada, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: alt.politics.liberalism, soc.culture.jewish       From: dragon40@removeunseen.is              Canada was the last industrialized country to officially commemorate the       Holocaust and only last week dedicated its National Holocaust Monument in       Ottawa.              The design of it clearly evokes and honors the six-point Star of David       emblem of Judaism:              [IMAGE: Canadian Holocaust monument]              Yet the plaque Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau unveiled last week at the       dedication of the monument omitted any mention of Jews.              Presumably, the wording used by the P.M. in a public exhibition went       through several rounds of staff review and approval, yet nobody working       for Trudeau noticed this? How is that possible?              So insulting is this omission that the embarrassed government of Canada       is removing the plaque. Ryan Maloney of HuffPo Canada writes:              Canada's heritage minister says a plaque Prime Minister Justin Trudeau       used to inaugurate the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa last week       has been removed because it did not "reflect the horrors experienced by       the Jewish people."              Melanie Joly made the announcement in question period Tuesday after       Conservative MP David Sweet noted that the plaque failed to mention the       Jewish people by name.              "How could the prime minister permit such a glaring omission of reference       to anti-Semitism and the fact that the millions of men, women and       children who were murdered were overwhelmingly Jewish?" Sweet asked.              "If we're going to stamp out hatred towards Jews, it's important to get       history right."              Sweet urged Trudeau to correct the "profoundly obvious" oversight.              Joly told the House of Commons the plaque will be replaced. She said the       monument commemorates the six million Jewish people and five million       other victims murdered during the Holocaust.              Yes, non-Jews were also mass murdered by the Nazis, but the entire       project of extermination camps was specifically launched as the "final       solution" to the existence of the Jewish People, an industrialized       genocide the likes of which the world had never before seen and must       never again permit.              [/HuffPo]              Keep reading: http://bit.ly/2yZnZG6              --       "The Marxists, communists and fascists of the Democrat Party have       launched a strategy of deception, projection, and a new generation of       brown shirts who fanatically believe that their violence is honorable,       and necessary, to save America from some kind of a Fourth Reich       perpetrated by the GOP."
