IHRC calls for Holocaust Commemorations Boycott over Omission of Israeli Genocides in Gaza.

Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) has called for the boycott of the 2025 Holocaust Memorial Day HMD commemorations after a state-run charity that holds the event refused to include what is coming to pass against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip in the list of genocides.

The London-based organization said in a letter to 460 councils and universities across United Kingdom that HMD Trust’s move to disregard the Israeli regime’s atrocities in Gaza is in contravention of the charity’s mission

IHRC says such consideration should remain at the forefront of any remembrance of the Holocaust because there is no hierarchy of genocides or suffering

The organisation has expressing grave concern and disappointment over the absence of the ongoing genocide in Gaza from the list of genocides mentioned by HMD

The NGO pointed to International Court of Justice, the US-based Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, among others, as entities that have defined the Israeli atrocities in Gaza as tantamount to genocide.
