No I don't think that's what they meant.

They meant Germany is so far up Israel's ass, that's probably the title you would see over there.

Germany and supporting genocide. Name a more iconic combo

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca -3 points 2 days ago

Nah, I think it's more the crushing guilt of what happened in WWII. And this has been exploited by the very founders of Zionism to their biggest advantage.

Yes common sense dictates that as long as Germans allow isralies to kill off Palestinians, they are absolved of their historical crimes against... Well at least some "Jews"

Amazing how other victims of germans don't get such privileges

I'm sorry but unwaveringly supporting a nation ruled by ethno-Fascists when they're committing Genocide because of the ethnicity of the majority and the leaders there is the same old extreme racism as in the old days and passing laws to punish anybody who criticizes that ethno-Fascist nation is the same authoritarianism in defense of Fascists claiming to represent an ethnicity as in the old days.

If the mindset that was the foundation of Nazism had changed in Germany we would neither be seeing such an extreme version of supporting a regime that claimes to be supporting some people because of their ethnicity (even against the will of many of those very people, who again and again point out that Israel and the dominant ideology there does not represent them), nor would be we be seeing the use of the Law to force everybody else to either go along with it or shut up.

A Germany where the power elites had learned the Humanitarian take of "never again" (i.e. "never again shall this be done to anybody") rather kept the racism going and hence using a racist version of it (i.e. "never again shall Germans do this to Jews"), would not be doing this, not even close.

What's going on in Germany is not merely "crushing guilt of what happened in WWII", it's the racism and authoritarianism coming out of hiding with the excuse that "It's for the Jews rather than for the Arian Race, so it's alright".

Well I'm sure that Zionist organizations are also behind it like in the US and Canada. And putting a lot of emphasis on what happened in the past.
