About one in every 100 people in Gaza has been killed since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted on October 7, according to Palestinian statistics.
Also genocide is critical part of Israel’s existence so I’d be very disappointed if they don’t seriously reflect on this at least. Though I guess you should never underestimate a cult.
Too little credit? You can’t seriously believe they’d be in the same state today if they’d won WW2. The only reason there’s been any reckoning is because they lost and were forced to confront their crimes.
There won’t be a reckoning in Israel because they aren’t going to lose and no one will force them to confront it.
Read what again? You said nothing other than Germans don’t get enough credit, which is bunk, and then you talked about Israel. If anything, they get too much credit, we are talking about acknowledging genocide. It isn’t something you should get credit for because it never should’ve happened in the first place. And it wasn’t even a choice, outside forces compelled them to own up to what they did.
You are using two very different things interchangeably here: genocide and acknowledgement of genocide.
Acknowledgement isn’t the right description in any case, maybe education would be more accurate.
Germany „gets credit“ for it, because sadly, in comparison to most other nations, it does it well. And acknowledging this might make others reconsider.
You give too little credit to the German people.

How do you explain the difference between Germany and Japan in this regard?

Both statements can be true. Read it again.

Really? You shouldn’t credit people for awareness and change?
Maybe if Americans did that you guys wouldn’t be burning books about slavery lol
Yep, and they proceeded to do it (partway through) in 1949.
