It is both sad and frightening at the same time to see that Germany has once again found an appetite for being an active part in a genocide of non-white peoples, by supporting the Zionist regime that perpetrates one of the worst genocides in modern history in Gaza, and that has also unleashed the same genocidal dynamics in the West Bank and Lebanon.

Yet, as Karl Marx once wrote: "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce."

And so, we do not witness a German tragedy but one of the worst farces in German history. Pretending to protect Jewish life by declaring a racist ideology to be a guiding principle for Germany that cannot be criticised is an unparalleled farce against the background of Germany’s history.

It comes as no surprise that Germany has taken the racist, genocidal Zionist regime’s side. Yet contrary to the political parties’ talk of consternation over German guilt, this step has little if anything to do with the Nazi genocide of white European Jews.

Rather, it follows from deeply entrenched German arrogance and its mentality of white supremacism that is consistent with the idea that while the "West" epitomises "civilisation", the "Rest" stands for "barbarism".

German politicians have no guilt. Using Germany's previous genocide to censor criticism of their new genocide is as disgusting as it gets.

On 7 November 2024, the German Bundestag passed the resolution "Never again is now: Protecting, preserving and strengthening Jewish life in Germany", against opposition from academics and civil society, with only ten votes out of 733 against it.

This resolution makes the infamous IHRA definition of what is antisemitism the basis of further German pro-Zionist policies. The German parliament, by adopting the ideologically motivated equation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism, has made itself finally the stooge of a racist, white supremacist ideology.
