Someone whose job it is to faciliate remembering a genocide calls a group of people “fundamentally evil”. Must have not ever walked into the museum.

    The elites generally don’t give a crap about ideologies

    As a person raised Catholic in a wealthy Houston suburb, I’ve got to disagree. Lots of the business and social elites take their mysticism and mythology very seriously.

    they chose to wrap their personal upside maximizing policies in (for example, the excuses that German politicians chose to give to yet again support a Genocide) say a lot about what they expect will work best with the riff raff.

    There is definitely a big element of class warfare in the German endorsement of Israeli genocide. But when you get under the skin of the European antisemetic ideology, it isn’t far from what the 30s-era fascists genuinely believed. Jews are supposed to be this race of insidious, cannibalistic, goblinoids that invade your land, slaughter your men, defile your women, steal your riches, and enslave your children. The opinion of Germans towards Jews (in the moment) is simply above that of Arabs. So Jews genociding Arabs fits within the ideological rubric, just so long as the Germans can continue to purge these same “impure” Arabs from within their own borders.
