The politician play into the guilt. The people that know about the gaza war well enough are fully aware of this and we hate it. See Merz’ speech to the jewish lady a few weeks ago, where he started to “cry” because of her backstory. Can’t call out that it’s a move to support isreal, because that’s the place that germans currently associate Judaism with, because if you do, you’re an insensitive racist.
Let that sink in: You’re an insensitive racist because you don’t want politicians to cover up a current genocide with a past genocide.

They don’t have to be anti semite, but they should be allowed to be anti-zionist. Nowadays there’s lots of confusion with the 2 terms.

Supporting genocide in the name of “genocide - never again” is an epic level of mental gymnastics worthy of a gold medal.
That or they are still just really big fans of killing Semitic people.
