Germans are rightly sensitive to minimizing the legacy of Jew-hating in its history. Throughout the country, even in small towns and villages, memorials to deported and murdered Jews, in the form of stolpersteine, or stumbling stones, provide a jarring reminder of the toll taken by the Hitler regime.

Musk's joking minimization of the Nazi past and his cozying up to a party rooted in anti-semitism are despicable. AfD party leaders speak rhapsodically of Vaterland and Volk, buzzwords the Nazis regularly deployed, and have decried the Berlin Holocaust Memorial as a laughable abomination.

Troll. The AFD in Germany is actually to the left of the GOP. Germany has been run by commies for many years and would be better off under AFD leadership.

I say you can look at many speech videos and locate a point at which the speaker gestures this way, not intending anything nefarious.

Barack Obama spent 20 years taking in Jeremiah Wright’s church of hate. Anti-Semitic rants were a regular part of his Sunday morning drill. Louis Farrakhan got a “lifetime achievement” award from this same Church.

And yet Obama was wildly popular in Germany.

World War II was nearly a century ago. If past guilt is what is preventing Germans from having pride in and defending their culture and heritage, then that guilt needs to be abandoned.

Joke post?
Please show me any country on earth that has not committed massacres against one group or the other in their history if you go back and dig into it enough.
In WW II alone Stalin murdered millions in Russia and Russia was allies with America then.
America and Britain slaughtered thousands of women and children in Dresden ( look up Bomber Harris), and the Japanese carried out terrible massacres in China.
Germany cannot continue to bow down to other countries because of Hitler.
