Petty? Somebody decided to rob and beat a 93 year old woman who happens to be a beloved representative of that area. There’s nothing petty about that.

Read what I wrote again. I never said click-bait headlines were unique to Gawker in any way. Absolutely nothing that I wrote even implies that.

Shhhhh .... remember, you’re on a Gawker blog. Click-bait headlines and lack of research are pretty much requirements around here. I’ve stopped reading most articles here and jump straight to the source links.

Yeah. This isn't stating that it is a human right. It just tells countries with Internet to knock off restrictive access.

No. No, actually, it isn’t. Nice try though.

“Part of the reason” you “prefer” one survivor over another? What in the fuck. Alrighty then, I’m sure they’re “glad” to have your “approval.” Pathetic.

You’re the one who victim-blamed the Jews because, what did they expect for living in a way that made it so darn easy to round them up and mass murder them? I don’t know what else to say to convince you that I care about the other groups of people that were targeted in the Holocaust, and I’m sure you have an “All…

“both of the recent Gaza genocides”

That you disagree with the side he picked on this particular issue doesn’t mean he’s wrong.

I don’t think you understand how purity tests work.

Many of the Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust lived in cosmopolitan cities. Many lived in towns and villages made up of people of multiple faiths and ethnicities. The targeting of Jews was not simply a convenience, as you implied, rather it was a chillingly systematic plan to commit genocide. The…

The extermination of the Roma was genuinely a part of the Holocaust. I suspect this is an explanation for his views on the Roma during the Shoah. http://observer.com/2007/01/forgiv…

Talk about false equivalence. As I said above, what you’re doing is exactly parallel to the “All Lives Matter” idiots. God forbid his views should have been influenced by his own experiences and background.

When you are a one-issue person, being against that one issue makes anyone a “piece of shit” even if they led a wholly altruistic life in every other way.

1) Have you ever actually been to Israel?

I am against the occupation. And I know that many Holocaust survivors are as well. But I think it’s pretty reductive to say that we should write off all of Wiesel’s accomplishments and say that his life’s work is “obviously a lie” because of one area in which his opinions were wrong. Of the people that you admire, how…

Are you serious? Wiesel endured the unimaginable, and then dedicated his entire life to victims of oppression. He headed a commission to investigate the Romanian government’s persecution of Jews and Romanis during the Holocaust. He advocated against apartheid in South Africa, genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur,…

May his memory be a blessing

No, you get dismissed for shitting on the memorial of someone who may have been a polarizing figure by the end of his life, but who was almost robbed of that life by hatred.

pls dismiss the edgelord who desperately wants to hate a universally beloved person on the day of their passing because it makes their dick hard
