Elon Musk's call for Germany to 'move beyond' Nazi guilt.

“Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents,” said Elon Musk. In doing so, he is reinforcing the lie that Germans were wrongdoers. Is the genocide in Gaza a wrongdoing? As far as Americans are concerned, the US is supporting an operation to clear out human trash to make way for a better world in the Middle East. It's hypocritical and the practicing of double standards to dump on the Germans.

Indeed, I think that Americans throwing stones at Germany in the 1930s should look in the mirror or at least think about reinforcing their windows.

Having said that, Gaza wouldn't be where I would focus.

Where would you focus. Misty?

@sree251 Well, if you're looking to draw parallels to Nazi Germany, focusing on the middle east seems a little strange. Maybe there's a parallel to Nanking?

Parallels to Nazi Germany? There is only propaganda out there with regards to Germany.

@sree251 Or, then, parallels to traditional anti-Nazi propaganda if that's what you believe.

Not that there aren't connections to Nazis, like Al Husseini, but even if Hitler wasn't responsible for a single death, much less attempted genocide, it seems like a poor analogy to me.

Parallels? Such as?

Stories about the past are unreliable.

@sree251 Parallels like clearing out human trash, I guess.

Honestly, I'm not sure I can go much farther with this, since it seems like we don't have enough common facts to start with.
