      It’s doubly ironic that by insisting on the idea that a nation committing such a violent Genocide represents all Jews - and doing so against actual Jewish voices saying that “they do not represent us” - they’re implying that all the horrible actions commited in this Genocide are Jewish things to do.

      So Germany is back at associating being a Jew with some of the most horrible things a person can do AND at telling Jews that they know better what the nature of being a Jew is than the actual people who are Jewish and deny that Israel represents them.

      Instead of Humanism were the duty of compensation is to the actual victims independently of race, they anchored their theatre of making amends on good old race discrimination and racial prejudice (only supposedly “positive”) so naturally and as was bound to happen, ended up in their traditional racist tropes of “knowing better than Jews what beings Jew is” and “associating being a Jews with horrible actions such as murdering babies”.

      The folklore and symbology of Nazism might have been made illegal, but the way of thinking about other people as nothing more than members of races who should be treated differently depending on race, and which is the foundation of Nazism, is alive, well, and continuing to be promoted.
