    There’s a world of difference between destroying a 2000 year old temple, and destroying confederate memorials made in the 60s or Nazi memorials made in the 80s.

    For one thing, neoconfederate and neonazi propaganda isn’t rare. There’s not that much historical value to it, either, except to document the neoconfederate and neonazi movements themselves.

    And holocaust victims still exist, while I don’t think the same is true of any victims of ancient Iraqi pagan gods.
