    That’s because Germany is expected to still feel guilty about the holocaust even after almost all the perpetrators have died in prison, well the scapegoats did, Operation Paperclip ensured that most of the high ranking ones enjoyed a cushy life in USA so they are constantly made to feel obligated to support Israel, while other countries that have done similar atrocities are so easily forgotten, not a German fyi if you want to nitpick.

      They don’t feel guilty, they’re afraid of ever having to actually be held fully responsible. The colonization of Palestine was done with public collaboration with the Nazis, and Palestinians have no obligation to pay for Germany’s crimes by surrendering their homeland.

      Germany got a very sweet deal, the Jewish question answered itself and they washed their hands if it.

      So the former Nazis feel (rightfully) guilty about their Genocide of Jews and the current Nazis say committing Genocide is part of the Jewish identity, so the former Nazis have to feel guilty for and thus support the current Nazis? /j
