While Netanyahu whitewashes #Hungary's role in murdering 400,000 Jews to build alliances with #Orbán, #Israel's embassy blocks philosopher Omri Boehm from speaking at #Buchenwald.

The grandson of a Holocaust survivor, Boehm was invited for his reflections on universal human rights and memory—yet labeled as "diluting" Holocaust memory for his views on Palestinian rights.

[…] The Israeli embassy said that "under the guise of science, Boehm is trying to dilute the memory of the Holocaust with his discourse on universal values, thereby depriving it of its historical and moral significance."

#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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Amnesty International has condemned Hungary’s decision to withdraw from the ICC, describing it as a betrayal of all victims of war crimes.

“By welcoming Netanyahu, Hungary is effectively giving a seal of approval to Israel’s genocide, namely the physical destruction of the Palestinian people in whole or in part in Gaza.”

"Hungary will leave the international criminal court because it has become 'political', the country’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, said as he welcomed his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanhayu – the subject of an ICC arrest warrant – to Budapest for an official visit."
