THIS takes the cake? Tankies defending Putin and Stalin was fine? calling everybody and everything a liberal for having a opinion was funny? But somebody notices that Germany is once again participating in genocide and THAT is where you draw the line? :D
"both sides"
One side is committing genocide.
The other side are an oppressed people fighting for their basic human rights.
Yes, there are civilian deaths on both sides, and that is lamentable. But to imply that it is anywhere near an equal conflict or that both sides are anywhere near equally to blame is completely ignorant of the facts.
Germany's support for Israel shows that Germany learned nothing from the tragedy of the Holocaust.
The Holocaust teaches us that genocide and mass murder are wrong and evil. Yet modern German government supports Israel in comitting genocide against Palestinians.
There will be another memorial in Berlin 50 years from now, commemorating the Palestinians that were killed in the genocide Germany supported.
Germany learned that everything else they did was fine and ok, except that Jewish people are off limits.
Germany learned plenty. They learned, for example, that by doing your atrocities in service of the hegemon you'll be rewarded. What wasn't okay was doing them while attempting to become the hegemon.
So true! Germany declared war on the entire world and brought destruction to Europe while carrying out a genocide! Israel only declared war on the entire middle East and destroys them while carrying out a genocide!
You've traded in German supremacy for European supremacy...the same thing your government did, hence why they support European occupation and genocide of the middle East.
