As we recently learned when we were told by the Jews that you can’t equate the Ukrainian Holodomor to the alleged Jewish Holocaust, it is not allowed to compare an actual holocaust (of non-Jews) to THE Holocaust.
So I don’t know why this dumb Black anti-Semite thought he could get away with comparing animal abuse to the Holocaust.
The Anti-Defamation League, a group devoted to fighting anti-Semitism, joined Jewish politicians in denouncing hip hop mogul Russell Simmons’ statements yesterday equating mistreatment of animals to slavery and the Holocaust.
ADL President Abraham Foxman, himself a Holocaust survivor, demanded an apology for remarks he characterized as tone-deaf and as insulting to both blacks and Jews. Mr. Simmons, an African-American vegan and founder of the Def Jam record label, made the comments while participating in an event with New Yorkers for Clean Livable and Safe Streets—or NYCLASS—calling on Mayor Bill de Blasio to ban Central Park horse carriages.
“The comparison of animal suffering to that of human suffering in the Holocaust and in slavery is outrageous, offensive and insensitive,” Mr. Foxman said in a statement sent to the press, noting Mr. Simmons past work with the Jewish community. “The murder of six million Jews and millions of others who perished in the Holocaust, and the many millions who suffered under slavery, should never be used to make a political point.”
Mr. Simmons and NYCLASS were both supporters of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s mayoral run, but have voiced outrage over his failure to honor a campaign vow to ban the horse carriages—which they believe are cruel—”on day one” of his administration. It was a sentiment Mr. Simmons expressed again yesterday.
The most interesting thing is a Black guy caring about animal welfare. They aren’t really known for that.
