American-Israeli actress implies Holocaust not any more horrific than other genocides around the world.
It's time for the Jewish community to shift focus away from the Holocaust, American-Israeli actress Natalie Portman opined Friday, stating that such focus has detracted from atrocities committed around the world.
I think a really big question the Jewish community needs to ask itself, is how much at the forefront we put Holocaust education," Portman stated in an interview with the British Independent. "Which is, of course, an important question to remember and to respect, but not over other things."
Portman revealed that her views stemmed from her learning about the Rwandan Genocide.
"I was shocked that that [genocide] was going on while I was in school," she said. "We were learning only about the Holocaust and it was never mentioned and it was happening while I was in school."
"That is exactly the type of problem with the way its taught," she continued. "I think it needs to be taught, and I cant speak for everyone because this was my personal education."
We need to be reminded that hatred exists at all times and reminds us to be empathetic to other people that have experienced hatred also," Portman urged. "Not used as a paranoid way of thinking that we are victims."
"Sometimes it can be subverted to fear-mongering and like Another Holocaust is going to happen," she added.
Portman was born in Jerusalem; her family emigrated to the US when she was three years-old, where she would later attend American Jewish schools.

Back to the diaspora I guess.
If she truly cares about learning from all past holocausts and preventing future ones, she should become the biggest 2nd Amendment supporter in the country,
Sounds like what my father used to tell me; “NEVER ARGUE WITH A LIBERAL IDIOT, THEY WILL JUST DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL THEN BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE”.
Right on, Impala !!
The first time I ever heard of her was in Star Wars. I thought she was very attractive but something about her mannerisms just made me guess she was a lefty.
I saw her a few years later in some movie where she showed her rear and yes, she was pretty.
The last time I saw her was in some interview and she can’t be that old but she is not aging well at all.
And I’m sure that Natalie Portman is just fine with the Obamunist ‘Let’s Make A Deal’ with Iran which will provide them with a nuclear weapons capability.
Get back to us Nat, when Tel Aviv is a smoking radioactive pile of rubble.
Ya stupid twat.
Hollywood IS the Cuckoo's Nest.
Must say. She is aging well.
(If 34 years old can be called “aging”)
Capo might fit too?
Slap her. Hard. Slap her again.
lamb to the slaughter, liberal progressive cancer
LOL.
Shut up and act.
>>American-Israeli actress implies Holocaust not any more horrific than other genocides around the world.<<
Six million honey...six million Jews killed in horrific wayz. Stupid damn liberals.
The Holocaust still has active advocates...like Obama’s allies in Iran. No one is promoting blacks go back to being slaves.
Except for Moslems in places like Sudan, Mauritania, Nigeria, Morocco, Iraq ...
Funny in a strange way, they will also eliminate the Palestinians.
For extra points, is the look on the Hildabeast's face due to where Natalie's hand is?
Oh geeze. What a perfect picture.
