    1. Australian Jewish Association‏ @AustralianJA 30 Dec 2018

      Grossly offensive to memory of the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a systematic attempt on an industrial scale to exterminate an entire people. Whatever your views on off-shore detention, it is nothing of the sort and to try to link one with the other is outrageous.pic.twitter.com/KbCImZSxXI

      FYI all, this new/tiny organisation does not speak for Australian Jewry, this is total garbage

      I wouldn't say total garbage. They might not speak for you, but they do for me. All 4 of my grandparents survived the holocaust. I don't think the comparison with manus is wise/accurate/constructive.

      Dunno mate, I had survivors in my family as well, and many of my father's extended family died. I'm not saying it's wise/accurate/constructive, but the assertion that it is "grossly offensive" is definitely not accurate

      Yeah, but hard to grade offense as "accurate". This is why comparisons and labels are not constructive. Everyone ends up defending their right or lack thereof to feel a certain way, rather than discussing the problem

      But the problem is that when groups like this run around claiming offence at every slight - regardless of how marginal - it diminishes any actual arguments when there is really problematic language

      It's especially bad because this has now been picked up as a partisan left vs. right argument, rather than a discussion about what is and is not offensive to Australian Jews
