That is the problem. Most of the people who read it did not associate it with the holocaust but rather with a horny little man and that was the humor. That is where the tolerance kicks in. The OP had a right to post it and people had a right to read it. Just because it bothered you doesn't mean everyone's rights should be taken away. You should have just scrolled by it instead of calling it out. It bothers me that people think their own ideologies are more important than everyone else's.
It was a very harmless joke and btw I do have Jewish friends and family.
