"Never again" is what is taught in classrooms and remembered from the atrocities of that war.

"Never again to white Europeans" is what gets left out.

Or, more darkly, that the lesson of the Holocaust was that European Jews are white, and not legitimate targets for genocide, unlike, say, brown folks hogging all that valuable land. From which it follows that to deny Israel the right to do to the Palestinians what our forebears did to Red Indians and Africans is just antisemitic gatekeeping.

Didn't you know? "Never again" just means never again for jews. It's fine for anyone else to be genocided!

Germany, Britain, and America, all need to dissolve the Israeli state and either put it under the UNs jurisdiction... So a world wide government is put in place (eg. The no state solution)... Or Germany needs to repatriat all Israelis back into her, relinquishing Israel back to Palestine.

We can't just have another genocide on the back of the Holocaust. It will just cause a lot of antisemitism.... And start to look like genocides all the way down.

Zionists came from across Europe, they're not all German.

That's not the implication. They're saying Jews shouldn't have been expatriated to Israel and should have been sent back to where they lived pre Nazism. Which would be pretty hard back then, and near impossible now.

Because they did the Holocaust so lots of Israelis originated from there... The ones who did the Nakba.

Very few Jews came from Germany to Israel, because most German Jews had been murdered by the nazis. By far the most came from Eastern Europe, especially Russia, Ukraine and Poland.
