    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.

      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
