#Antisemitism and holocaust denialism / Netanyahu whitewashes Holocaust history during meeting with Orbán

Wanted war criminal #Netanyahu deliberately avoided mentioning #Hungary's role in the systematic extermination of over 400,000 Hungarian Jews under the Miklós Horthy regime. Instead, he constructed a fictional narrative of shared fate between Hungarians and Jews.

When referencing post-WWII suffering, he highlighted Polish victims while carefully omitting that the Soviet Union was the occupier—likely to avoid offending #Putin, another conservative ally.

Not the first time Netanyahu, who has been practicing historical revisionism for years, is accused of holocaust denial, showing how far he is willing go to cement alliances with leaders who share his hate of #Islam and international legal institutions, like the #ICC and #ICJ.

[…] On the path to global right-wing unity, allies are forced to make compromises. Netanyahu, for example, partially sacrificed Israel's most sacred historical memory. In his remarks alongside Orbán, he did mention the Holocaust, but constructed an imagined narrative about a shared destiny between Hungarians and Jews. Additionally, Netanyahu avoided mentioning the Holocaust of Hungarian Jews and the responsibility of Miklós Horthy's regime, Hungary's ruler at the time, for the systematic extermination of more than 400,000 Jews.

[…] Instead, Netanyahu emphasized the suffering of Poles under the occupation that followed World War II. But here too, he avoided mentioning the occupiers - the Soviet Union. This could have offended another conservative ally - Vladimir Putin. Netanyahu and Orbán also preferred not to allow the many journalists in the hall to ask questions, which might have embarrassed each of them individually and both of them together. The unity of the global right sometimes requires walking on eggshells.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"La Pam Pam" sounds to me like an orchestral pop piece that has been influenced by anime music. I think too that influence was at work in a lot of GFriend music.

I note that because Japan has also contributed to kpop musically as well as in terms of industrial organization and idol culture in general. Of course, the US musical influence on kpop is much more noticeable but that Japanese input is still there.

The overall importance of Japan to the kpop industry often gets neglected in those "Is Kpop getting too westernized?" discussions . Part of the reason for that neglect is that we in the west naturally focus on the west, but I also think that sensitivities about Japan Korea relations come into it.

Although I have an interest in late 19C and 20C East Asian history, I have no expert knowledge, so treat what I say with appropriate caution; a lot of it is just conjecture.

I sometimes wonder if Kpop can tell us something about Japan Korea relations. On the one hand , you have "scandals" pertaining to that history:

https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2025/02/398_344898.html

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46147777

On the other hand, you have the importance of the Japanese market for the kpop industry and the Japanese influences I've noted earlier.

Kpop fan spaces tend to fall back on a version of history in which Japan is simply the colonial oppressor and Korea the victim.

I certainly would not want to deny the importance of that colonial exploitation in general and the the scars left by practices such as sex slavery.

Yet I have a feeling that this narrative is simplistic . Colonies depend on consent and collaboration as well as oppression, and my guess is that applies here too. Possibly there is a parallel with British -Irish relations, where revisionist historiography in Ireland has shifted from "centuries of unbroken resistance" to a more complex and nuanced view .(I'm aware of the challenges to that revisionism).

That historical complexity is reflected in the relations that obtain today between the UK and Ireland in general and even in the entertainment industry in particular.

So I am wondering if we might get a better understanding of the kpop industry and even kpop artistry if we were ready to admit the possibility that the popular history in kpop spaces merits critical scrutiny.

To obviate any misunderstandings, I am not denying or trying to play down the appalling aspects of Japanese rule in Korea and elsewhere in Asia.

Okay, we need more music at this
point. GFriend -- Memoria seems appropriate. As well as having an apt title, it's a great song, even though the lyrics include a corny English rhyme and the MV has some ugly outfits!

Quoting David Issacharoff on how Israel is enabling far-right's Nazi history whitewashing:

[…] The far-right in Germany does not particularly favor Israel and doesn't necessarily feel historically obligated to ensure its existence, unlike mainstream German parties. However, Israel's silence towards them, coupled with the defense of figures like Elon Musk, is a critical step towards their full legitimization in Germany. Israel and its representatives in Germany are aware of this, yet by remaining silent regarding the rewriting and downplaying of Nazi history and #Holocaust memory, they are criminally abandoning the safety of German Jews who face concrete threats from increasingly powerful neo-Nazis.

According to Issacharoff, the Israeli government provides tacit support for #Germany's far-right #AfD party, which is attempting to whitewash Nazi history. While Elon Musk is actively aiding this effort by downplaying German guilt and platforming AfD leaders like Alice Weidel, who has made historically revisionist and antisemitic statements, #Netanyahu defends Musk and the Israeli embassy in Germany focuses on alleged Muslim and leftist antisemitism, contradicting German data that identifies the far-right as the primary source of antisemitism. This alignment serves mutual interests in demonizing Palestinians and undermining international law, but dangerously legitimizes neo-Nazis and endangers German Jews. What could go wrong?

#Egypt / Israeli Education Ministry revises curriculum to erase Egypt's peace overtures before October War (1973)

Israel's Ministry of Education has directed teachers to stop teaching that the October War was partly due to #Israel's rejection of Egyptian peace initiatives. The new curriculum, based on recent research, asserts that the war was solely Egypt's responsibility due to its demand for full Israeli withdrawal from Sinai and other occupied territories.

The directive dismisses the historical perspective that Israel ignored peace overtures from Egypt, a view supported by some historians who argue that Egyptian President Sadat sought peace negotiations as early as 1971, but was rebuffed by Israel. Critics argue this curriculum change is a politically motivated revision of history, ignoring evidence of Egypt's willingness to negotiate and placing sole blame for the war on Egypt.

[…] The Israeli Ministry of Education is portraying its new version of Yom Kippur War history as fact, based on historian [right winger] Yoav Gelber's research. However, this is a highly contested issue among historians, with many offering different interpretations. In contrast to the Ministry's view, journalist Amir Oren argues Israel and Prime Minister Golda Meir bear responsibility for not preventing the war. Oren considers it a "war of choice," stating Egyptian President Sadat sought peace with Israel since 1971 but was ignored due to Israel's refusal to withdraw from Sinai and parts of the West Bank for peace, as Oren wrote in a 2014 Haaretz article.

[…] Newly disclosed primary sources, including a 2023 Mossad publication commemorating the October War's 50th anniversary, indicate that Egypt considered diplomatic solutions before the conflict. According to the Mossad's account, while skeptical of diplomacy alone to reclaim territories lost in the Six-Day War, President Sadat initially explored political avenues. Intelligence from Ashraf Marwan, an Egyptian agent that Israel operated, revealed Sadat's communications with Soviet leaders in 1971, expressing Egypt's readiness for a settlement. However, facing political stagnation and fearing the entrenchment of the occupation, Egypt ultimately resorted to military action to break the deadlock.

[…] According to the instruction of the Inspectorate for History Studies, which will come into effect next school year, from now on "answers will not be accepted in the matriculation exams according to which Israel rejected Egyptian peace proposals before the outbreak of the war."
