Nothing I said was anti-Semitic, and if someone wants to construe it that way, they're idiots, invoking religious privilege in the most disgusting possible manner. If privilege has that much power, then we'd best hope that American media presents events surrounding the Holocaust right and never be subject to criticism, because, you know, Stormfront is always going on about Jews controlling the media, so, guess that's just off limits.
American public media always gives short shrift to history and always distorts it to an American-centric point of view. WW2 is no exception. I wouldn't think I'd have to point out that this is not a Jewish conspiracy, since I never said it was. Jews have for a long time been a significant and familiar minority to Americans and in American culture. The Roma? Not so much. Homosexuals? Well, they're just getting more familiar to Americans in the last couple decades.
No, I don't think the symbols should be in proportion to losses, that's asinine to suggest. I just think they should all be included, if you're going to have symbols. One giant Star of David is one giant Fuck You to history and the other groups targeted in the Holocaust. It's embarrassing. It demeans the religious symbol. Personally, I don't think there should be symbols of the targeted groups for a memorial, because it misses the point, but that's just me.
