Ironically, the person who pioneered the study on trauma is a son of a Holocaust survivor. His first observation on the effects of trauma was when his father told him to follow orders just because. He told his dad that he sounded like the Nazis who imprisoned him.
Unfortunately, Israel became the very thing they hate. And for as long as I can remember, I have thought that “you become what you hate”, which is what most people are afraid to think about.
You know this was happening before the Holocaust, right? Zionism emerged in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries as ethnic Jewish people began emigrating to Palestine in larger numbers during a period of increased discrimination across Europe, the Balfour Declaration was in 1917. Colonialism is fundamentally genocidal, and this was not inspired by the Holocaust, merely energized by it.
Israel is a genocidal, settler-colonial state, not Harvey Dent.
I don’t know, there is too much noise with regards to who has the rights on the land etc. As someone from Ireland, I see a huge parallel with Israel-Palestine conflict and the Northern Ireland conflict from thirty years ago. To oversimplify the latter, it was a conflict between the mostly Protestant pro-British versus the mostly Irish nationalist Catholics. The conflict in Northern Ireland was centuries in the making which peaked and pretty much stopped in 1990s when both communities reconciled and let go of revanchism; agreeing that no one side will dominate over the other and to agree mutually.
Scholars from both Palestinian and Israeli sides advocate to emulate the peaceful resolution on Israel and Palestine like that in Northern Ireland (which I think most people brush aside when brought up because the Northern Ireland Troubles happened long ago, or the person being told has too much emotion invested on siding either Palestine or Israel). Nonetheless, two state solution as already insisted upon by the UN, or power sharing like in Northern Ireland, whichever-- just stop the killing. The main issue is there is too much had blood between Israelis and Palestinians to see reason. It already happened and it’s like trying to abort a baby already born. We can’t kick out Israelis in the same way as we can’t kick out Afrikaners from South Africa, or the pro-British Northern Irish, or black, brown or white people from Americas, New Zealand and Australia-- countries which have more recent history of settler colonial foundation. Heck, most of the world is arguably settler colonial. Ainus came first before the now dominant Yamato people settled Japan. Even before brown people came to South East Asia, there are already black people living in the region.
I’m going on a bit of a rant and say the problem is the tribalistic mind from our unevolved lizard brain is having difficulty evolving with modern realities and progress of time. We still think a piece of rock is our own territory as if we’re still tiny animals fighting over a one metre rock.
The nuance is that the coin likely was made as a propaganda piece by the nazis to mock the jews who sided with them.
Still the agreement between the zionist german bank and the nazis did break the anti-nazi boycott held in multiple countries and allowed many zionist who where prosecuted jews to transfer some of their economic assets to Palestine and migrate with the explicit intention to form Israel.
This is one of the big general issues of financial sanctions. If you can not transfer money out of the country, it becomes really hard to leave. You need some money to set yourself up in the country you are going to after all.
That is currently a big issue for Russians, who want to leave the country.
These are Nazis. Evey IDF soldier should be arrested for crimes against humanity. End dual citizenship now

Victims do become perpertators, and are then punished too. They get double-fucker.
Amazing how you can make someone evil with enough torture.

I’m not really quite sure anymore that Israelis have ever hated Nazis.
*zionists would be more accurate.
There is historical precedent but with some nuance.
