Namibian President Hage G. Geingob blasted Germany on Saturday for defending Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, pointing to the genocide Germany itself perpetrated on Namibians in the early 1900s.
Germany was defending Israel …
Exactly what I said was going to happen: That the genocider nations were all going to vote along ideological lines.
Well, Germany is kind of in a tough spot here…
Only because the Holocaust was always framed as “that horrible thing that happened to the Jews that we need to prevent from ever happening again to Jews” instead of “that horrible thing that happened to people (some of which were Jews) and we need to prevent that from happening to any people ever again”.
One if our own making. If we stopped defending genocide we wouldn’t be here.
Genocide in Namibia is not the genocide Germany is known for
Because most people just don’t know about it.
The point was that German relations with genocide are not restricted to holocaust, and their justification of supporting current genocide by the past genocide is straight up hypocritical and their argument completely falls apart.
