Lets be clear, I'm not against a holocaust monument talking about Jews. I've been to the monument, I think as a whole it does an excellent job both as a museum and as a monument. I'm against wasting time in the house of commons and media firestorms about minor issues such as this.

I tend to think if a Residential Schools memorial didn't mention indigenous people or a Stonewall commemoration didn't mention the LGBT community then people from those communities would be upset.
Also, I think one could argue that what makes it newsworthy is the link to the PM's love of generic platitudes.
