Being able to erase events from history seems quite handy until you question why it’s necessary and who benefits.

Imagine if Nazis could erase the holocaust from history? That would sanitise the movement which is still very much active today. It would rid them of some very nasty baggage which irredeemably taints their image. Nazis could have free reign to commit newer acts of savagery because nobody would be expecting it.

Zionists gave been trying to eliminate Palestinian history for nearly 80 years. They have had surprisingly good success because it’s only in the last few years that the Palestinian plight has started receiving the attention it needed decades ago already. They’re not out of the woods (or concentration camp) yet, but the entire world is now fully awake to one of the most egregious travesties of justice in human history.

It’s far too convenient wiping out unsavory man-made history that’s uncomfortably embarrassing to certain individuals or groups. It’s bad enough that we are not learning from history as we should.

Another genocide is currently happening before our very eyes because people are either in denial or don’t think the consequences or international law applies to them.

Imagine if we could just wish history away with the flick of a finger? It’s open season on making every form of bigotry and injustice great again.
