You just said that Jewish memorials promote a political agenda just like gay memorials promote a political agenda, so far from disagreeing with my opinion, you share it.

The memorial was of people performing an act, not a mere symbol like a Star of David. Where is the memorial of a rabbi reading the Torah?
