أعلنت إحدى المجموعات الإسلامية عن تنظيمها فعاليات بعنوان: "فلسطين: الهولوكوست الخفي"، بالتزامن مع يوم ذكرى ضحايا العنف النازي، في خطوة لتعريف العالم بالعمليات الإجرامية التي ارتكبها الاحتلال الإسرائيلي في الفلسطينيين.

وقد أثارت الفعاليات موجة من الانتقادات بزعم ربط ما يجري بـ"فلسطين" بالهولوكوست النازي المزعوم، ووردت شكاوى ومطالبات رسمية تطالب الحكومة بوقف الفعاليات وعدم السماح باستخدام لفظ الهولوكوست إلا على ما يتعلق بالعنف النازي تجاه اليهود بالحرب العالمية الثانية.

Dutch Muslims Hold Palestine Holocaust Event

A Dutch Muslim group plans to commemorate the victims of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians on Holland’s memorial day for victims of Nazism have sparked media criticism for linking Israeli aggressions in Palestine to the Nazi Holocaust.

“We did not intent to provoke anybody by using the term ‘shadow holocaust’,” Abou Hafs, a 31 years old Muslim from Moroccan decent and one of the main speakers at the event, told OnIslam.net.

“We didn’t even contact the media to get all this attention. We did however choose this term for a reason: as our aim is to spread the idea that the word holocaust should not be used uniquely for one historical episode of ethnic cleansing, especially if that term is later used to safeguard its victims from any criticism on their actions in the decades after the occurrence of this European holocaust,” he added

The controversy erupted after a Dutch Muslim group, the "Platform Bewust Moslim", announced its plans to commemorate Holland’s memorial day for victims of Nazism next May 4 by organizing a ceremony under the banner “Palestine, the Shadow Holocaust”.

Using social media, the Muslim group shared the invitation for their event to be held on Sunday, May 4, afternoon on Memorial Day in a mosque in Hilversum.

Quickly after that, both local and national media put their spotlights on the event, raising criticism over both the date and the title of the event.

Over forty complaints were sent to the mayor of the city, demanding him to obstruct the event because it was ‘insensitive’ and ‘provocative’ to use the word ‘holocaust’ for anything other than the second world war, especially on this date.

Facing pressures to cancel their event, Dutch Muslims expressed their discontent over their government’s double standards.

“It is a shame that the government is so inconsistent with its approach to Muslims,” Abou Hafs told OnIslam.net.

“When we feel insulted – for instance due to anti-Islamic cartoons – the Dutch government states that our subjective arguments are less important that the objective conclusion that within the boundaries of the law everybody has the right to speak his mind.
