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.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
