Germany and the Germans were basically in penance for 50 years. The current generation of German leaders and the vast majority of German people weren't even alive for the Holocaust. They simply aren't the same country they were back then. Countries really can change that much in just a couple of generations, look at Japan for example. |
Well Japan still has the good taste to practically shut up and entirely stay out of all touchy international conflicts.
Germany in principle has that attitude too on international affairs, it still does, it's just that their green/left/commie movement is too strong to be entirely held back from criticizing Israel.
