(Jerusalem Post) The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) wrote to 460 town halls and educational centers asking them to boycott the UK’s Holocaust Memorial Day.
The IHRC, which British media has linked to Iran, said it was “morally unacceptable” that Gaza was not considered a “genocide” alongside the Holocaust.
The Holocaust Memorial Day this year — on January 27 — will commemorate 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz.
IHRC also wrote a letter to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust itself, imploring the body to include Gaza on the list of genocides.
