British journalist Owen Jones sparked controversy by accusing Germany of supporting Israel out of guilt for the Holocaust. Jones stated on TV that Germany was 'making Palestinians pay' for Germany's crimes. The debate has stirred strong reactions from various commentators and media outlets.
Check out the faux outrage here, against @OwenJones84. This is literally what the German chancellor said after Oct 7th: “German history and our responsibility arising from the Holocaust make it our duty to stand up for the existence and security of the State of Israel.” https://t.co/0XD66wxusy
People who are trying to gaslight @OwenJones84 for stating that Germany supports Israel out of guilt for the Holocaust don't get that this is not some secret the German government's hiding. Scholz said *exactly* the same thing in October. You're journalists, for God's sake. https://t.co/93sjJTh5UT https://t.co/5vo63FSQ1e
The patience and restraint from @HenMazzig is commendable. The odious Owen Jones stated that Germany was "making Palestinians pay" because of their “obscene guilt” over the Holocaust. Disparaging the memory of the holocaust. He somehow manages to get even worse every week. https://t.co/VDvfG3ca1l
Last night on Sky TV, @OwenJones84 dismantled @HenMazzig's defence of Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. When he made a claim, he backed it up with a verifiable source viewers could check. Now Mazzig & his minions spray easily debunked lies & smears about him 🙄

.@owenjones84 is right - Germany has forced the Palestinian people to pay for the heinous crimes Germany committed. And he's right that to say this is not "disparaging the memory of the Holocaust". https://t.co/SUlsi1ELoA
'I object to genocide because I'm a human being' - @OwenJones84 'Of course it's not a genocide, would you call every war a genocide?' - @HenMazzig Tonight's panellists on The World clash over Israel's response to the October 7 attacks https://t.co/PAiZ4D1jU3 📺 Sky 501 https://t.co/BwGEN7O24c
I'm on Sky News tonight 9-10pm discussing Israel's genocidal war. I'm on with this Israeli influencer, who seems to be on the more reasonable and eloquent end of apologists for Israel wiping Gaza off the face of the earth. https://t.co/fad20O5wHX
