Many scholars have come to accept that the NS regime and the Holocaust could also be understood in imperial-colonial terms. - The Holocaust is unique because it was the unlimited Vernichtung der Juden um der Vernichtung willen(exterminating the Jews for the sake of extermination itself) distinguished from the limited and pragmatic aims of other genocides. It is the first time in history that a state had set out to destroy a people solely on ideological grounds.
- It was thus a Zivilisationsbruch (civilizational rupture) and the moral foundation of the nation
- Germany has a special responsibility to Jews in Germany, and a special loyalty to Israel: “Die Sicherheit Israels ist Teil der Staatsräson unseres Landes” (Israel’s security is part of Germany’s reason of state)
- Antisemitism is a distinct prejudice – and was a distinctly German one. It should not be confused with racism.
- Antizionism is antisemitism

The problem is though that: • antisemitism is NOT a distinct prejudice. It is a bog-standard racial one. • it was NOT a distinctly German prejudice. That would be such a colossally ignorant misconception and accusation that it is probably a deliberate deception. • it should be regarded as a form of racism (to do so “confuses” nothing). • anti zionism is NOT antisemitism |
