Genocide denial and denial of war crimes is illegal in Germany*. Except if it’s Israel commiting them while enriching the German state through weapons sales**. Then it’s sacrosanct.

Isn’t it fascinating to learn about different cultures and what makes them so unique and exciting?

Holocaust denial has long been illegal in Germany, but a new amendment also criminalizes the denial of other war crimes and genocides — wherever they happen.

@aral as a german: many germans who are not benefiting from any arms deals still just can't think straight on this subject matter. so very embarrassing.

@aral it is like a particular kind of narcissism where they think german history is the only thing that matters in the world.

@kali @aral Narcissism? The tremendous burden of the Holocaust seems to cause a knee-jerk repression.
