I mean, the idea of India still holding some form of 'grudge' against Britain for its colonialist shitheaddery is not really in-line with reality. Most Jews don't hate Germany anymore either. Most opinion polls regarding the opinion of Indians on Britain range from indifferent to mildly positive.
The way some people attempt to peddle grudge politics, far beyond questions of reparations but of things like "It is genuinely insane to me that Britain is not more hated.", is not really much more than fascist fantasy.
Considering they probably live in a country that is a former or current colonial power, it would be somewhat hypocritical if they did. Also, Germany (and most other western countries, especially the US) is a useful stooge for Israel's "interests" now.
... since when do people consider hypocrisy when regarding their personal feelings?
Glorification of revanchism doesn't become okay just because it's self-hating. Nor does such a 'blood feud' viewpoint reflect modern realities of how societies think.
... okay? What does that have to do with the opinions of Jews in general?
