    Germany will never do anything about Israel

    True.

    because they would hate to stop another country doing a genocide.

    In the 1990s Germany sent troops to Serbia to stop a genocide. That was the first German military mission on foreign soil after WW2 (excluding missions where the German military just provided disaster relief on foreign soil).

    Germany decided a long time ago that supporting Israel to a near-unconditional degree is part of the state interest of Germany, as penance for the holocaust. No politician smart and ambitious enough to get into a position of power would dare challenge that, because it carries a big risk of being branded as antisemitic without any serious potential political gain.

      Nah, it’s fine to quote deleted/offensive/shit-take posts in order to debunk them. (However, IANAL, so legally YMMV.)

      So, supporting nazis as a part of reparations for nazizm? Sound policy.
