(Jewish Group) Jewish Groups Condemn Anti-Vaccine Protesters Wearing Yellow Star Patches in Quebec

Jewish groups are speaking out against anti-vaccine passport protesters who were pictured wearing yellow stars in Quebec, Canada, on Tuesday.

Photographs and videos taken of a protest outside the Econofitness gym in the Quebec city Laval show multiple people with yellow stars attached to their clothes. "Sans vaccine," French for "no vaccine," was visibly imprinted on at least some of the stars.

Nazis forced Jews to wear the yellow star during the Holocaust, and the symbol has been appropriated by activists opposing vaccines. Jewish organizations, including the Montreal Holocaust Museum, spoke out against the Laval protesters and anyone else using the stars while speaking out against vaccines.

"Comparisons between vaccine passports and yellow Stars of David are offensive, inaccurate, and attempt to trivialize the painful history of the Holocaust," the museum posted on its official Twitter account.

"This symbol allowed the Nazis to target, persecute, and murder millions of Jews," the Montreal Holocaust Museum continued in follow-up tweets. "As a result, the yellow star has become a painful symbol of Jewish discrimination and the Holocaust."

Cultural appropriation at it's finest, and often ignored as "appropriation" or even "anti-Semitic."

1. If they are self-identifying as Nazi prisoners, then they are also self-identifying as Gypsies, homo

If they are self-identifying as Nazi prisoners, then they are also self-identifying as Gypsies, homosexuals, political prisoners and more categories.

It was not just Jews.

2. No, they are not!!

Yellow star patches were NOT worn by "Gypsies, homosexuals, political prisoners and more categories." They are FALSELY identifying themselves as Jews.

4. Of course they were FALSELY identifying themselves as Jews.

Of course they were FALSELY identifying themselves as Jews.

That makes it just as valid for the other categories.

5. Except OTHER categories weren't being mocked!

While it is true that there were other victims of the Holocaust, of which NO ONE is denying, least me, the issue is they were "disguised" as JEWS! It wasn't about the victim experience in the Holocaust, it was about the JEWISH victim experience, which they were culturally appropriating. If they were wearing pink TRAINGLES, and black, and purple and blue and red TRIANGLES, then, and only then would it come across they were mocking the experience of others.
