The tendency for Authoritarianism and Racism never really left Germany: remember, Nazism was stopped by outsiders, not Germans, so mostly they changed the symbols and stopped outright saying certain things even whilst still thinking and practicing them - doing what it takes to make it seem like they changed, not actually changing.

So it's no surprise that on a racially charged subject involving a Genocide were tens of thousands of children have been murdered for their ethnicity, the German Authorities not only in quite an extremely Racist way sided with the Genociders very overtly because of their ethnicity, but also moved back some more in the exercise of the power of the state towards doing things like in the "good" old days.

The mindset of Racism and Macht macht Recht never actually went away.

Not such barbarities in Spain, scary the Trumpian right turn in Germany

...Sanchez also criticized the suppression of pro-Palestinian protests in some EU countries, saying: "Israel is an apartheid regime, and one of its main characteristics is silencing critical voices. Israel does this not only violently within its own borders against the Palestinian people but also by intimidating its international allies and suppressing legitimate pro-Palestinian protests abroad. This is part of the Israeli regime and is a clear violation of human rights."

Will Germany ever be on the right side of history? You'd think 2 lost world wars would leave an event lasting lesson.

The majority of germans oppose military support for isreal. But we have a right wing coalition atm, so what you get to see is the classic police attacking leftwing movements.

You could've told me it was America and I wouldn't have known any better...
