Washington (AFP) - President Donald Trump's administration on Friday issued a Holocaust remembrance statement that failed to mention the six million Jews k**led in the N**i genocide. The statement cited the "victims, survivors, heroes" of the Holocaust but did not mention Jews or anti-Semitism.

The Anti-Defamation League called the omission odd. Its chief executive Jonathan Greenblatt wrote on Twitter: "Puzzling and troubling @WhiteHouse #HolocaustMemorialDay stmt has no mention of Jews. GOP and Dem. presidents have done so in the past."

Last year, Barack Obama's statement on the Holocaust said, "we solemnly remember the six million Jews and the millions of others murdered by the N**is during the Holocaust."

When then president George W. Bush marked the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp in 2005, he called it "a reminder that when we find anti-Semitism, we must come together to fight it."

Curious. Preposterous to think this oversight had anything whatsoever to do with his support from David Duke and that ilk.

It is reported that Steve Bannon is writing the executive orders and that he made sure "Jew" was not mentioned in Trump's statement.

It is a written statement that you can easily find if you google "Trump's address on Holocaust Remembrance Day."

So there were no Jews who were "victims, survivors, heroes" of the Holocaust? Why would you say that? I heartily disagree, and I'm not the only one.

According to Wikipedia:

"Holocaust victims were people who were targeted by the government of N**i Germany for various discriminatory practices due to ethnicity, religion, political beliefs, or sexual orientation. These institutionalized practices came to be called The Holocaust, and began with legalized social discrimination against specific groups, and involuntary hospitalization, euthanasia, and forced sterilization of those considered physically or mentally unfit for society."

So, tell me again how Trump sees no Jews on Holocaust Day. In fact, he included not only Jews, but all the other victims due to their ethnicity, religion, political beliefs, and sexual orientation. I'd say the previous Presidents you refer to were the ones who failed to include whole classes of victims in their 'message'.

You are greatly confused my friend. It was not me but Trump. He very specifically did NOT mention Jews. Read the statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day and the followup double down on that omission then get back to me.

I'll follow-up, double-down, call and raise you one punch in the dick. Simply by mentioning the 'victims of the holocaust', he was implicitly also mentioning the Jewish community as it then existed. Believe it or not, they were also victims of the holocaust. Only difference is that by saying 'victims of the holocaust', he was also including all the other victims, whom I have already listed, that his predecessors failed to acknowledge. Now, when you're done being doubled over from a very judicious punch in the dick, it's your turn to follow-up, double down, call and raise.
