Oho, is that so? Have you looked at literally any comment section anywhere in the German-speaking internet (and I'm not just talking about conservative newspapers): There's a ton of shit that goes unmoderated and barely pushed back on, about how Islam is a barbaric religion, they're backwards culture is just incompatible with "our enlightenment values", they should assimilate or get out, and so on. People speak like this real life too, I'm like bio-German and people will say shit like that to me, and except me to agree with them. They're very surprised when they get pushback. Some quite openly, others sort of couched in some way so as not to appear too racist.

And that Germans have a super weird complex about Jews is 100% true. They're like a prop they get out whenever it's convenient, usually to make themselves look humble and reformed. Meanwhile, literally every politician is constantly proclaiming unconditional support for Israel as a "Jewish state", that has a "right to exist" and "right to defend itself", which actually means (though that's not usually spelled out explicitly) to have a Jewish ethnostate, to not let Palestinians return from the areas they were ethnically cleansed from, and to slaughter Palestinians for daring to fight back against what is actually an attack, and not in any way "defense". To deny any rights of Palestinians basically.
