If you stop thinking that Germany's response to anything Israel is about Holocaust guilt and instead about rewriting German history, you'd understand German politics better.
Urgh. It makes sense especially point 8 because Jews were treated as foreigners. Shifting the blame of anti semitism allows the far right to continue to attack migrants with impunity. Christendom persecuted Jewish people for years. I used to think the state of Israel was created to ameliorate holocaust guilt but thanks to your writing & further reading, I now feel that the state was created to continue to "solve the problem of the jews", a centuries old story embedded in the history of Europe.

Thanks for these points.
#8 makes so much sense and is something I’ve never even thought about.
