@HeavenlyPossum @LeelaTorres Germans have made the Holocaust about *them* instead of about the people they exterminated. That’s why they’re so keen to remind everyone that they feel guilty, as if that’s supposed to be impressive.

And again, this is not new. German Jews/Jews living in Germany have been complaining about that. They just don’t matter to this self-serving discourse. granta.com/once-again-germany-

Granta · Once Again, Germany Defines Who Is a Jew | Part I‘We just do not think that it’s for the Germans to say to us what kind of Jews we should be, what kind of project we should be part of.’ George Prochnik in conversation with Emily Dische-Becker and Eyal Weizman, before 7 October 2023.

@HeavenlyPossum @LeelaTorres Jewish Currents podcast has a two-parter on “the trouble with Germany” that’s precisely about this. Masha Gessen pointed out several months ago that Jews in Germany are more likely to be arrested for opposing Israel and even called antisemitic by non-Jewish Germans who think this is all about them. Adnan Delalic, a Bosnian-German, wrote an essay called “German Redemption Theology” on this too.
