If Arabic is an official language of the country, then the website should have been available in Arabic from its inception.

Except that it might just encourage cheers...

It still amazes me that the fantasy lives on that the goyim give a rat's tuchas about the Holocaust and that people think they can achieve "Never Again!" by making museums and laying wreaths.....

Because no Jews have Arabic as their leshon de leche...

No. Because Arabs speak Arabic.

Unfortunately, some of the cheers might come from some of the Arabic speaking Jews... I've heard more mocking comments about the churban from Syrian "halabheem" than from non-Jews... by a factor of at least 10...

I recently met an elderly couple who were born in North Africa (Tunisia, I think) whose primary languages are Arabic and French and who told me how their Jewish community was sent a labor camp by the Nazis. They told me that while Jews weren't murdered en-masse there as they were in Europe, there were many deaths due to the conditions in the camp.

Not to mention that Ladino suffered worse than Yiddish as a result or that the Esnoga in Amsterdam is now virtually empty because of it. While I can understand some communities not having the same visceral reaction to the Shoah, but I couldn't imagine (outside of lashing out in anger) derisive comments from other communities. Then again, the SY community does have one hell of a superiority complex.

I've never heard actual Sephardim mock the churban, in part because they suffered too. It is specifically the Syrians who feel that they were spared from the churban by virtue of being "holier" than all other Jews. I'm not making this up by the way.
