Germany’s Nazi regime under Hitler murdered about 6 million Jews

it also killed communists, Roma, socialists, homosexuals, Slavs, and others

Germany lost World War II which forced Adolf Hitler to commit suicide

US committed many crimes too: Tokyo bombings, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, …

the winning criminal dictates the terms; the losing criminal obliged to obey

US and her allies were the victors; thus losers were punished

Germany was made to pay huge sums which she is still paying

Norman Finkelstein wrote a book about it called Holocaust Industry

of course, the killing of Jewish people is hard to compensate

but Germany has done a lot — financially — for Jews and Israel

Germany has also supported Israel in its suppression of Palestinians

is Germany trying to wash its guilt by supporting her unrestrainedly, but

by aiding genocide of Palestinians, Germany is not washing its guilt away

instead, Germany is complicit in the killing of over 31,000 Palestinians
