    It’s nice to know that a generation of Germans saying they had a “special understanding” of genocide because of their history were right. They had a special understanding of how to get away with enacting and supporting genocides.

    Like, I’m not German. But literally everything they teach about their history and being “accepting” of their peoples crimes. Like, do they just throw that in a trashbin now and go back to full fascist again?

    With the way they treat Muslims it seems so. Thousands of Holocaust scholars and historians just completely useless to that society.

    You’re not “special” Germans. Your brain rot is rivaling that of America.

      Its not all German’s but the ones in power and the idiots eating their shitty propaganda. The majority 52% has a negative view of isreal, not everyone is of the understanding that its a genocide only 33%. 66% approve sactions on arms export. The crimes of the second world war are still taught a lot in school. The unfiltered history is still on display in museum etc. (i don’t know of any country that does that, most countries with a dark history just push it under a rug and never mention it.) That being said our current government is right-wing piece of shit flirting with the new popular fascist party and taking legitimacing their ideas. Its bad and people seem more brain damaged than ever atm. The divide and conquer tactic is working, extremely well on the population.

        Very interesting take. Are you German? I hadn’t heard those stats and I’d guess they are recent. Seems like a shift like many other western nations people not agreeing with their ruling class. My worry is that it is fueled by the same shift the US is seeing with anti Israel “America first” fascist movements. But would like to hear your take.

        I’ve been saying for years that the normalization of Muslim hatred in the west will inevitably become xenophobic in general and Israel is the first target for that. But unfortunately, I think that comes to power under right wing movements that hypocritically use Israels actions to paint Jewish populations as the next target.

        Using the genocide of a Zionist state to first support it to fuel anti Muslim hatred. Then shift into a full xenophobic campaign. Using the west newfound hatred for Israel to target Jews and other minorities in the war. While at the same time STILL supporting Israels Ethnostate project bt exporting Jews and exploited immigrants to its fascist project in West Asia.

        Sorry. A bit of a rant. The jump to “deporting Jews” is probably my own take. But if we shift from the crypto fascism of Trump to the Neo-Nazi movements that support him I don’t think it’s far off.

        I would say that’s possible if Vance takes power. Or, we have 4 years of a liberal president failing to provide material improvements for the working class again. And we get an even worse outcome after that as the right wing takes power.

        Ironically, I think Trump is the crypto fascist standing in the way of what most of his supporters and cabinet really want. And we see it in parts of his administration he hands of entirely to them (ICE being the most obvious).

          I believe this will end either in nazi dictatorship or civil war. The us doesn’t have many options. And they are shockingly unprepared for authoritarianism.

      the de-nazification of Germany never truly happened. CEOs complicit in the violence got let go. I think there is a fern video on that. I believe (this)[https://youtu.be/-WX5zOdMprc] outlines some of the most prevelant nazi CEOs that got away.

      As a german, the whole “we learned from our mistakes and render our backs bloody each morning” was never real, well only as real as those white people in america who cosplay as slaves to “wash away” white privilege or something. And it only happened truly in the 80s, there was revisionist history abound, just like in southern united states.

      The narrative was always very limited and bent to exclude political opponents du jour, after all west germany was supposed to fight slavs, communists and soviets which were 2/3 of the nazi enemies. Preventing actual resurgence of nazism would have meant dismantling capitalist white supremacist and imperialist power structures and in the end UK, France and the United States were counting on those staying.

    Further info: https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/09/1165835

    In regards to the countries that voted against, this was the “defense” of its position the Zionist entity offered before the vote:

    Speaking ahead of the vote, Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon said that “this one-sided Declaration will not be remembered as a step toward peace, only as another hollow gesture that weakens this Assembly’s credibility.”

    He said that “Hamas is the biggest winner of any endorsement here today” and will declare it “the fruit of 7 October”.

      So those who opposed:

      • Argentina - Milei
      • Hungary: Orbán is a very close friend of ISSrahell and has been one of the most openly fash countries in europe for a while.
      • Micronesian Federation: US colony (FASs)
      • Nauru: US & Australian colony, actual proposed to be a free associated state (FASs)
      • Palau: See Micronesia
      • Papua New Guinea: Tinto Rio/UK/Australia/US colony (they build like a big base there recently)
      • Paraguay: Traditionally a close us ally in LATAM. The Bush family owns over 100k acres of land of the Guaraní Aquifer. They even still have a relationship with Tawain.
      • Tonga: Mormon colony, See Micronesia.

    It is the details that matter. When you color Puerto Rico as having abstained, even though it is part of the US, it gives gives zionists ammo to question the rest of the infographic.

    To be slightly balanced, Russia doesn’t give a shit either way, they just voted opposite of the US. Still though, the point isn’t lost on me

      Good point, they only oppose genocide opportunistically, whereas the US / NATO countries support genocide, but in a good wholesome way.

        I mean… both would be opportunistically, but that wasn’t my point. I support a free Palestine, I’m on your guys’ side (despite the downvotes)! I was just trying to say that Russia’s condemnation of one genocide doesn’t really mean shit in my opinion, especially while enacting their own genocide barely 1000 miles away.

        tl;dr I was shit-talking Russia, not Palestine

          Just so you know, the insistence of western liberals on reducing the word ‘genocide’ to just mean ‘anything bad our enemies do’ is a big part of how Israel was able to perform an actual genocide with as little push-back as it’s getting.

              Certainly that was what that nonsense about “Russia enacting their own genocide barely 1000 miles away” ultimately is

                I wouldn’t say the atrocities in Gaza or the Donbas are EQUAL, no, not at all. For one thing, the Ukrainians are actually allowed to fight back without being labeled as terrorists. But Russia’s goals (and some actions, mostly conducted earlier in the conflict) certainly fit the definition of genocide

                  No, they don’t; that’s just the western liberal need to slap the genocide label on every bad thing enemy countries do (because they’ve already normalized every other war crime)
