British journalist Owen Jones, known for his work with the Guardian, has sparked controversy with his statements on live TV, claiming that Germany is making the Palestinian people pay for the Holocaust, a crime committed by Germany. Jones, under his Twitter handle @OwenJones84, argues that this is not disparaging the memory of the Holocaust and criticizes those who twist his words to suggest he believes Germany's guilt over the Holocaust is obscene. His comments have drawn reactions from various quarters, including Twitter users @HenMazzig and @ArchRose90, with some commending the restraint shown by critics like Hen Mazzig, while others accuse Jones of worsening his stance weekly.
Note how apologists for Israel's mass slaughter are adept at twisting language in the most unhinged way possible. They are trying to pretend that I think it's obscene that Germany feels guilt, rather than that Germany is obscenely guilty of a crime it forced others to pay for.
Yes, Darren, I am saying Germany is obscenely guilty of its attempt to exterminate Europe's Jewish population, succeeding in murdering two thirds in a very short space of time. It then decided to force others to pay for that crime. It is a very basic point even you can grasp. https://t.co/vJ7kHhYVa7
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

.@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
Germany has forced the Palestinian people to pay for the heinous crimes Germany committed within living memory. It is not "disparaging the memory of the Holocaust" to say this, and it's obscene to say so. https://t.co/vjHdkqjZyu
