Honestly... it really comes across as pretty anti-semitic. That doesn't mean there is NOTHING of any kind of truth in there, but the post is very obviously a thinly veiled attempted to pull the focus of the Holocaust OFF of Jewish people because they get "too much" attention. The "anti-semitisim" is an overused phrased when I literally
never hear it used reflects HORRIBLY on her as well. She's also ignoring that Jews were targeted far more on a statistical level, and that Hitler often blamed Jews, REGULARLY, in his speeches. And that Germany had a VERY long history of anti-Semitic politicians inspiring nationalism by scapegoating Jews.
Also, not that what was done to Native Americans was right. AT ALL (and I have never in my entire life seen it taught as justified) But "genocide" is not the accurate term to use. Both sides had members who slaughtered each other, and both sides had members who wanted nothing more than peace. It was warring cultures (with racism thrown in). As for African genocide, it kinda makes sense American History wouldn't cover that in detail. We did have slavery, but we didn't commit any genocides in Africa (and it wasn't done here, seeing as they were kept as slaves and you can't use slave labor if said slaves are dead)

It's how she said it. And she also said anti-semitisim is an overused phrase when someone accused her of being anti-semitic, which tends to imply someone is anti-semitic
