As Twitchy told you, columnist and alleged anti-Islamophobia activist CJ Werleman made a valiant effort to outdo Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the Crapping on Holocaust Victims Department with this vile take:
The Holocaust Industry (aka Israel Lobby) has long sought exclusive rights to the term "concentration camp" in order to prevent you describing Gaza in that way.

Werleman subsequently attempted to play the victim card:
OMG- I can't believe I've now got to add this stupid disclaimer, especially given my journalism career is entirely devoted to exposing/preventing/stopping crimes against humanity & genocide:
The Holocaust happened. 6 million Jews were killed by fascist Nazi psychopaths. Fact!

It’s bad enough that he’s trying to defend the indefensible. But when you consider this, it manages to look even worse:
The guy talking about the "Holocaust Industry" has a take on Hamas that is pretty much what you would expect from people who use the term "Holocaust Industry" pic.twitter.com/0pMZcMVCZx

And there’s lots more where that came from:
There's no Hamas without the Western imposed settler-colonial project – Israel.

You're a know nothing atheist! Hamas exists to repel Israeli settler-colonialism. Israel built Hamas to crush PLO https://t.co/6sPyYiMjZU

Actually, Hamas' mission statement says they have no issue with the Jewish people or Judaism, and that their grievance is solely with Israel's illegal occupation and colonization.
Hamas is what you get when you take away a people's hope for an equitable political solution. https://t.co/NqhOtW5pIK

I've spent time in Sderot. These rockets fired by Hamas and Islamic Jihad are directionless, and amount to not much more than a caged gorilla throwing rocks widely from his encaged confines in protest against his incarceration.

A reminder Hamas is not driven by hatred of the Jewish people, but rather by resistance to European colonial rule and occupation. https://t.co/5mywnpJTjQ

What part of defending Hamas falls under “exposing/preventing/stopping crimes against humanity & genocide”? Because we’re dying to know.
