Quite a few downvotes from Germans, even more than I expected. A lot of Germans are confidently incorrect about Zionism, Zionists, and the settler-colonial state of Israel.
Losurdo has a few good chapters specifically about a lot of the modern german ideological support for zionism in his book War and Revolution.
It's a really complicated subject, dealing with the historical guilt from the judeocide, and supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.
No doubt reinforced by enormous amounts of hasbara.
Almost as if they're overcompensating for something. 🤔
