Every German government is pro Israel.

Open a history book, please. The Nazis plan wasn't to kill all Jews, it was to deport them all elsewhere until they realized how absurdly expensive that was, then the plan kept getting worse and worse until the gas chambers era that somehow is the only fucking thing people know about Nazi Germany now.

I mean, that feels a little like saying “Andrew Jackson’s plan wasn’t to kill all native Americans. He just wanted to deport them across the country. Then things just got worse and worse, and now the only thing anyone remembers about that deportation plan is the Trail of Tears.”

The path is more important than the destination. Knowing the end result of a genocide does not help in prevention; however knowing step by step how a group of people was convinced to murder/torture/rape/enslave/dehumanize the entirety of another group of people is a massive help in preventing it.

The nazis based their policy on the genocide of indigenous Americans so that's closer to the truth than you think
