I think non-Germans can’t understand the deep social guilt that’s been drilled into them since WWII

Except they only defend Israel...

LGBT was a target too, is Germany standing up for LGBT?

What about the Romani?

What about communists?

What about people who spoke out against genocide?

The Jewish victims of the Holocaust made up about 50% of it's victims. Why unquestionable support for them, but not for other groups?

It's great Germany's seeing the light now, but don't act like they had a rational excuse for blindly supporting a genocide of a different group.

That's exactly the point op is making.

All those Germans in power now were the children of a generation who survived the war as children, and who all had it beaten into them how horrible a people they were and how terrible the atrocity against the Jews they executed.

They're ignoring 50% of the people their parent's generation killed, and excusing the other 50%'s children committing their own genocide against a different group...

They're explicitly not making the same point as me...

Is it an excuse, or an explanation?
