The Jews have an annual holy week to commemorate an event that occurred 3300 years ago. They also have an annual 10day fast to mourn the destruction of the Temples. One of the destructions is commemorated in this Arch.
And before you start making fun of the Jews for commemorating these events, Christianity has: Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday to remember events that occurred prior to the events in this Arch.
EDIT: the point of this post is that the Jews (and Christians) have holidays and fast days to remember events a long time ago.
So which of these Christian holidays focuses on the perceived atrocities committed against them?
Even Easter (Jesus’s death and resurrection) is a celebration of the greatest sacrifice of all time and what it did for us. There’s no talk of who had him killed.
