It is interesting you said this. Germany's PR around remorse for the Holocaust- like that of the 'American dream' - has been really good. Like the latter, it's complete BS, but it really manipulated us all very well. I wrote a note on it:

"Germany supporting Israel at the ICJ is not surprising in any way. It is another European and Western colonial power with the same Imperialistic mindset that led to it to commit the Holocaust. It would thus wholeheartedly and without reservation support its relabelling as Zionism.

Of course, Germany - that bastion of European justice - has absolutely done away with any of its Nazi profiteering and would never dream of continuing to have such corporations that did things like create the gas to kill the Jews or use forced labour from concentration camps. (BASF, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, anyone? Anyone?)

And these Nazi-era companies did not continue their imperialistic brutality in any way anywhere else after WWII at all. Argentina, who?

As someone said to me: “It’s a bit like asking Jimmy Savile to testify that Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t a paedophile.”"
