Why are they not ashamed like the Germans were when they realised what they did to Jews, the Romas, the homosexuals and the disabled? I have spoken with Germans who were sickened of their ancestral links to these horrors. But Americans seem immune despite their record of enslaving Africans, ethnic cleansing of native Americans and exploiting nations struggling to develop themselves. Now they fight to defend Trump or Biden who used their country to help Netanyahu and his gang kill 40,000 Palestinians, many of them children. When did nationality and political favourites become more important than being human?
