It is dumb, yes, but humans aren't always rational about such emotionally intense things as that scale of national guilt

I didn't say it was a smart decision. Emotions can make people do irrational things. And if they feel that badly about what happened in the past, I could see this hard overcorrection.

Israel claims that only Jews were victims of the Holocaust.

Nope, never said or even implied that but whatever makes you feel good posting I guess

I mean fair point but you only really hear about the Jewish victims. Of course there were others as well but most of the things I've seen about the holocaust focus on Germany and Jewish people.

The international public was always much more concerned about the Jews, that is obviously going to shape the German perception about what they should feel guilty about.
