    Dear Germany,

    It’s okay, we don’t really expect anything better from you. We know that your promise to “never forget” was a lie and that you don’t really care. Quite frankly, the rest of the Western world has similar issues, so why bother trying to be better?

    Just let the masses in Palestine die, don’t let it get in the way of your arms sales to Israel or the Israeli lobbyists who almost certainly plague your government. After all, nearly every other Western country does the same, do they not? Hell, the self-appointed “world police” that is the United States can’t tear itself away from AIPAC long enough to acknowledge what has been sitting in front of us, bloodstained and emaciated, for the past several months.

    So it’s okay. Don’t try to be better. We understand that your culture just has a strange lust for genocide which even the shame of the Holocaust couldn’t quell. We understand that Germans are just like that. The Palestinians don’t matter; they’re only human lives. We’ve got 8.1 billion humans on this planet, who cares if a few thousand or even a few million go missing here or there. A statistical error in the face of such numbers.

    Hey, a little bit of genocide might even be good for the human ecosystem. Plus, once Israel is done with Gaza, they might even let NATO do a little nuclear testing on the West Bank, as a treat. Wouldn’t that be nice? First nuclear tests in decades. We gotta keep up with China, India and Russia somehow, right?

    So don’t worry, just give Israel money and arms so they can glass Gaza. The world will surely be better off.

    Sincerely,

    An American who is very fed up with corrupt politicians allowing Israel to get away with whatever they want; an American who hoped that Germany of all places, would be able to see and denounce the atrocities being committed by Israel.

      Thank you, dear fed up American. I always wondered why I felt this constant urge. I thought there might be something wrong with me. But now that I finally know it’s just my German nature, I feel liberated and full of energy. Oh, what a wonderful time to be alive!
