      “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.

          Not to mention that the 2023 picture of the Brandenburg Gate was a sign of solidarity with Israel in response to the October 2023 attack on Israel where Hamas gleefully abducted, raped and murdered Israeli civilians, men women and children. It doesn’t matter what you think of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians or the subsequent response to the attack, there is no world in which such an attack could ever be justified (although I’ve seen plenty of attempts to try). Comparing modern Germany showing sympathy for such an attack with the Germany that perpetrated the holocaust is absurd and, in my opinion, quite disgusting.

      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 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.
