Too little credit? You can't seriously believe they'd be in the same state today if they'd won WW2. The only reason there's been any reckoning is because they lost and were forced to confront their crimes.

There won't be a reckoning in Israel because they aren't going to lose and no one will force them to confront it.

Both statements can be true. Read it again.

Read what again? You said nothing other than Germans don't get enough credit, which is bunk, and then you talked about Israel. If anything, they get too much credit, we are talking about acknowledging genocide. It isn't something you should get credit for because it never should've happened in the first place. And it wasn't even a choice, outside forces compelled them to own up to what they did.

You are using two very different things interchangeably here: genocide and acknowledgement of genocide. Acknowledgement isn’t the right description in any case, maybe education would be more accurate. Germany „gets credit“ for it, because sadly, in comparison to most other nations, it does it well. And acknowledging this might make others reconsider.
