THE last thing anyone wants to write in the week we remember the Holocaust is mud-slinging at those who defend human rights. It is quite obvious that all of us would reflect not just on the horror of Nazi genocide against Jews, LGBTQ, Roma, Blacks and other non-Aryan groups, but also the many, many, genocides since, including in Europe. To attack the Irish President, who refuses to be blind to modern-day genocide in Gaza, is, quite frankly, a blatant apologia for the Israeli state and its current genocidal policies. To do that on the back of Holocaust commemoration is perversion of memory.
