Shlomo Sand’s latest book explores the history of anti-Semitism in France and shows how today’s hatred of ‘other’ has transformed into Islamophobia. That is those who express fanatical devotion to the state of Israel and a hatred of Muslims today, would have been right at home with the anti-Semitism of the mid Twentieth Century. This seems to the case for the rest of Europe and the Anglosphere as well.
Perfectly said: Feiglinge-cowards, arrogant ignorants, deniers, liers, corrupts, und leider, so many people excercize routinely and lazily the parrot roll of being "good citizens", obedient ones (a great value for addicts to be part of something greater, even when deadly, perfect contributors building a panopticum society self-controlled and spied, volunteerily) insisting without any reflection and/or information, without any guts and intuition, without feelings and empathy, the "copy and past", "kopieren-hinzufügen" official virtual decrepit narrative, sinking in the abyss, everyday, any sign of remaining intelligence and dignity.
Also I think Biden's people miscalculated. Germany is the last nation one wants passing judgement on what is or is not a genocide. The Government of Namibia has made that point recently.
Some comments, just to enrich "hopefully" the good essay produced by Mr. Amar.
1. VdL, being a bureaucrat, can only commit acts of gross corruption, and being at the top of an immense organization, as EU, that corruption will be massive, so nothing to wander there. It could have been any other national of EU there and do the same thing. Also, I never new that Germany is a giant in infrastructure, architecture, and construction building. Overspending in infrastructure is usually the done thing.
However, the Germans are famous for their car manufacturing and their experize in making excellent cars that have moving parts (not EV cars). So when Volkswagen is caught red handed and fined billions for rigging the engine to lie that it produces less pollution than in fact it does, you know that something is very, very rotten in Germany, and beyond redemption.
2. Israel and Germany are to full of themselves and their history to acknowledge that one doesn't need gas chambers and crematoria in order to commit genocide. While the crematoria were used to hide the bad deed by the Germans, who ultimately understood that what they were doing was bad and needed to get rid of the evidence, Israelis, because they are in fact the chosen race, rather than the supreme race, they have a blank cheque from God, so they don't even bother hiding their deed - they are just bothered by the effort they have to make to deny the deed to the rest of the world, but not to themselves. But history is full of other examples of genocide where gas chambers were not used. Just because the Germans made industrial genocide a thing and the Jews (at the time there were no Israelis, and now not all Jews are Israelis, or Zionists, and not all Israelis are Jews) got the long end of the stick in that exercise doesn't make any of them exceptional, special, or unique, a yardstick of crime and suffering.
3. It has been revealed from within Israel, that a very good measure of the victims from October 7 were in fact victims of IDF friendly fire, that were acting on the order to stop the Hamas et al. fighters reaching back to Gaza AT ALL COST (a different enunciation of the famous Hannibal Doctrine; we also have the Samson Doctrine there, the Dahiya Doctrine, Rise and Kill First, etc...). This means that a lot of Israelis taken captive were killed by their brave and moral IDF compatriots, knowingly. No IDF soldier (man or woman) wavered for a second at the thought of killing their compatriots, maybe even a relative. It seems that the idea that Arabs must be killed and the land they live upon must be recuperated for the benefit of Israel, as God promised. After all, God helps you but it doesn't really, really put things in your bag...

Great essay! One other thing Habeck is: cynical.
