A small town in eastern Germany banned the installation of new Holocaust memorial plaques that mark the last known residence or workplace of Jews and other victims of the genocide.

The motion was proposed by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU)…

    Considering how completely in the tank for Zionists the previous government was I can’t say I’m surprised many german people have turned back to their old ways…

      How does your comment make sense?

      It is possible to continue memorialising holocaust victims AND to condemn the genocide in Palestine.

        The Holocaust is specifically commemorated to garner support for Israel. Any other genocide committed by Germany receives no attention nor does anything except the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

        The West has turned the Holocaust into a convenient event they can use to guilt trip people into supporting genocide. Holocaust museums even support the genocide in Palestine and call those who oppose it antisemitic. It has turned into the biggest farce.

          Actually Oct 7 is the new holocaust. That’s the hinge point that Israel wants the narrative to pivot on.

          The old holocaust is now inconvenient to Israel because of it’s obvious and overt parallels to what’s happening to Palestinians.

          Israeli propaganda wings aren’t just ignoring rising Nazism and holocaust denial; they’re practically in full collaboration with it.

          It’s kind of wild to claim that the holocaust is only commemorated to garner support for Israel.
