Yes because the government from 80 years ago is the same as today. Germany is frozen in time and has never moved forward.

Ngl if I were an Israeli Jew I probably would not rush to take advice on how to run things from the country filled with the children of people who murdered 6 million of mostly your people for no real reason. Or anyone else for that matter, given the appalling apathy the stories faced during the war.

Your ancestor might have killed one of my ancestors. Does that make you guilty?

No not “you” the German government is different now. Your argument makes no sense.

Is Germany committing genocide now? No. Is Israel committing genocide now? Yes. Simple as that.

Genocide? You mean against Palestine which has... terror groups with broad public support that repeatedly advocate for the genocide of the Jewish people?

Don't get me wrong the whole division and allocation of land in the region was whack but when literally all Arab nations tried to forcefully conquer and wipe out everyone in Israel and lost and as a result more land was in Israeli hands?

Like idk man I used to be gungho for Palestine till I actually read up on Arab-Israeli wars. There's been major atrocities on both sides of everything, I think that both sides do have valid claims to the land itself but claiming either side is 100 percent innocent and always right is a bad take.

Claims to land because some people you may be related to lived there thousands of years ago is not valid.

Are you saying genocide is okay when performed against a group that advocates for genocide?

Cause I’m pretty firmly on the “nobody should commit genocide” side of things.
