Insulting the Jews

More excellence from Gawker (I don't usually quote the whole thing, but you need to see all of it; the original has a good field guide to triangles):

"Everyone knows (many people don't know) that the Nazis also exterminated homosexuals, gypsies, and Jehovah's Witnesses, so there is no reason to include that information on a Brooklyn Holocaust Memorial. Assemblyman Dov Hikind is fighting to keep the memorial pure!

City officials approved the addition of markers honoring some of those non-Jewish victims of the Nazis. But if this Sheepshead Bay memorial mentions the millions of non-Jews killed in the Holocaust, everyone will forget about the Jews, and then there will probably be some pogroms, or something.

"To include these other groups diminishes their memory," said Hikind, as he stood next to his 89-year-old mother, Frieda.
[...]
"These people are not in the same category as Jewish people with regards to the Holocaust," Hikind said following a press conference at the memorial. "It is so vastly different. You cannot compare political prisoners with Jewish victims."

No, you certainly cannot, especially if you're a real dick."
