Germany, the killer of 6 million Jews, has insisted that if Israel is excluded from the Eurovision Song Contest it will boycott the competition. A number of Germany’s European colleagues – Spain, Ireland, Netherlands and Slovenia – are insisting that Israel’s genocidal activity in Gaza needs to be punished.

After all, wasn’t Russia the subject of an international boycott so surely it would be double-standards not to apply the same to Israel?

But Germany insists that Israel is more important to it than its European allies – which it hopes to rope into a war with Russia. It is now in unconditional support mode for the Jewish State, which can extensively ethnically cleanse and attempt genocide as the Nazis did to its heart’s content, with a German blessing.

It appears that Germany, now released from US supervision, has once again become very dangerous for Europe.

Germany is changing and rewriting its history. Two recent visits to Berlin, Munich and Nuremberg has convinced me of this. The change is very evident over the last decade.

The first way it has been changing is in attempting to ease Russia in as the great demon of history, beside Nazi Germany, and perhaps replacing it in the long-term, if that can be achieved.

German museums and tourist attractions now contain random exhibits from the Ukraine war, outside their original remit. A car shot up by Russian aerospace occupies a prominent space in the Checkpoint Charlie museum in Berlin. It is there to illustrate the “massacre of Bucha,” the centrepiece of early Ukraine war propaganda. There are serious doubts about the portrayal of this event. 

An Englishman, serving in the Ukrainian army, present in Bucha when the “massacre” occurred, later described what had happened. He said that the Russians had captured non-uniformed Ukrainian saboteurs who had killed Russians. They had been shot. Sabotage teams fleeing the scene had been destroyed by Russian aerospace. A civilian car may have been destroyed in mistake. The Englishman described this on YouTube.

A very different attitude was taken to this by the West than was taken to the Israeli destruction of more than 100 vehicles containing a large number of Israelis on October 7. The Israeli Hannibal directive, a deliberate massacre of civilians, was not criticised. The Russian action at Bucha, totally within the rules of war was described as an atrocity.

A bullet ridden car found itself transported to Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, where visitors go to study the Cold War. It has nothing to do with the Cold War period but the descriptions speak of “Russian aggression” etc. to influence visitors.

There are similar plaques in the National Socialist Documentation Centre in Munich, describing “Russian aggression” and the “authoritarian regime” in Russia. The Soviet regime might have been authoritarian but it was the force that defeated the Nazis, and it was only behind Soviet lines that Jews were safe from the National Socialists.

Again this has nothing to do with the Nazi period, but it has been slipped in. The objective is obvious – to associate two evils, and perhaps replace one with the other over time.

A visit to the Nazi Rally grounds in 2025 reveals something very different from a visit a decade ago. The stand where Hitler stood to address the crowds is cordoned off and covered in scaffolding and plastic sheeting. No longer can you stand there and gaze out on the scene Hitler looked at in the 1930s. A road, with motorbike racing markings, has been driven through the parade grounds and grass pitches inserted to obliterate traces of the Zeppelin ground. 

Only a decade ago the former scene was largely intact and not too different to what it looked like in 1937.

A notice states that the site is being redeveloped for “reinterpretation”. 

The extensive National Socialist Documentation Museum nearby has also been closed for “reinterpretation” treatment. This was a very informative place, but perhaps too informative.

Prior to 1965 there was the intention in Germany that the Nazi remnants should be left to rot. Some suggested they be bulldozed. After a visit from Holocaust survivors in that year the West German government began a more open dialogue with the Nazi past. That period of dialogue lasted until 2022, when the Russian Special Military Operation was launched in Ukraine.

There seems to be a deliberate intention of reducing the significance of the Nazi period and blending it into a common attack on “authoritarianism” with the focus being on the current form in Russia, in contrast to the German democracy. Perhaps that is how Germany absolves its Guilt – along with support for Israel.

“A burden shared is a burden halved” they say. Perhaps a burden shared could be a burden offloaded!

A visit to the Jewish museum in Munich tells a similar story.

Books about October 7 by Jewish authors occupy a prominent place in the bookshop. Hamas share the burden of history with Nazi Germany.

The present writer happened to be in Berlin on October 8 2023, the day after the events of October 7. There were large crowds demonstrating at the Brandenburg gate with masses of Israeli flags. None of the Irish schoolchildren I was accompanying wanted to take pictures, which astonished the German lady guiding our walking tour.

I had to explain to her that the Irish were sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians and they knew what was upcoming. I told her we had no responsibility for what happened to the Jews so didn’t feel the need to do anything but judge events objectively. She was not pleased with this, despite the fact I thought it was very diplomatic and I could have put it more bluntly. 

It should be noted that the German pro-Israel rally was disrupted by a column of cars blowing horns and flying Turkish flags from the windows. The police moved in to disperse the protestors.

A very interesting exhibit is in the bowels of the extravagant Jewish Museum in Munich.

It appears that the Jewish community in Germany produced a board game for Jewish children, Das Alijah-Spiel, promoting the objective of a colonization of Palestine by Jews. Along with the board game itself there is a picture of two children from the Theodore Herzl school in Berlin playing it with Herbert and Leni Sonnenfeld, two well-known Zionist film makers, in Berlin in 1935. A sign below explaining the board game describes it as a “playful pursuit” for Jewish children who competed to get to Palestine.

This game, despite having a place in Jewish museums has been written out of Western media accounts, including Google searches and AI, and the story spun that the game is of much more recent origin in the US and having nothing to do with colonization. Why?

Is it because the popular Jewish board game reveals that the objective of Zionists in Nazi Germany was very similar to that of anti-Semites – to put the Jews in Palestine, no matter what the consequences?

Will it figure in the rewritten history of Germany? Perhaps not.
