Saying Jews are awesome is not a valid statement, because just like every group some of them are awesome, some are neutral, and some are awful. It should say something like "Jews are regular people"

if you can say "Humans are awesome", which you can whilst everyone knows the caveats to that, you can say Jews are awesome.
That's not what "valid" means. This is an opinion, so you don't get to declare it invalid. You are free to disagree, though.
Ok, now do one for the Uyghurs.
Edit: 23 people down voted so 23 people ITT support genocide.
What should we be doing about the Uyghur genocide? What are you doing about it?
What should we do about whataboutism? It seems to be a popular alternative to engagement.
Also
- Brotherly war is bad
- Russians are awesome
- "Russian world" is a dangerous mania
- Russophobia is real
- Ukraine will be free

I would upvote without the last sentence. The Holocaust was a singular event as there have been many singular events, and none repeated itself, neither as tragedy nor as farce, but some of them rhyme
Holocaust is a general term, and there have been others, here are some pictures of huge piles of skulls from the Cuban Holocaust done by the Spanish in the late 1800s:
It is extremely dangerous and part of both the new Nazis and Zionist playbook to designate the Holocaust as a "singular event", implying that there was no genocide of similar scope before, or there could be after it.
Looking for example how Britain systematically stared more than 10 million people to death in India, the Holocaust isn't even the worst genocide in terms of absolute numbers.
In particular in Germany this "singularity" trope is heavily used as propaganda, of how Germany has learned from its history, when it didn't. New authoritarian measures? Cannot be compared because how dare you compare it to the rise of fascism, that lead to the one and only Holocaust?! Deliberate ramping up of racist rethoric accompanied by more violent hate crime? It is not the Holocaust so why are you saying it feels like the late 20s again?!
And of course subsequently: How dare you say Gaza is a concentration camp?! How can you imply any similarity between Israel and the Nazis?! You evil antisemite! Oh you are a renowned Jewish scholar that studied the Holocaust? Your parents have barely survived the concentration camps? Well you are against Israel so you are "alledgedly Jewish" or how about "self hating Jew"?
This is the actual discourse in Germany. Jews not aligned with Zionism are heavily targeted by Politicians and state bureaucrats in a heavily antisemitic manner. And this "Holocaust is singular" argumentation is part of it.

I'd hang that on my house!
Hot takes - Judaism is just as bad as every other Abrahamic faith.
Judaism is better in one significant way: they find proselytizing offensive.
The holocaust is happening again at the hands of the first victims?
Tale as old as time.
Yeah this nicely summarises the level of understanding of American internet teenagers about the Middle East.
I would hope at least this much, but ideally more. It probably depends on the American teenager though.
Lol and that's why it's bullshit, because nothing is "super simple", you bunch of terminally online twats. You wouldn't know nuance if it reached out of your Instagram post and slapped you in the face. Go ahead, tell me to eat glass like last time.
