    Is this debt officially and legally recognised? Or is it some idealistic notion that liberals have concocted? Because France like all other colonial countries has not paid a dime in reparations. Moreover it continues to deny its former African colonies monetary sovereignty through the CFA. Mali Burkina Faso and Niger could only expel French troops after literal coups. Something tells me France does not give a shit about its debts.

      No, colonial debts in African countries mean nothing to them. They take their jewish seriously because they are white and the genocide happened in Europe.

      Don’t forget fascism is nothing more than colonialism done in europe. Every single European country did it, but when it was done to them, it became a real problem…

        In my opinion it’s not the guilt of the Holocaust that is the primary motivator for the support for Israel. Rather it’s about what role Israel plays in the preservation of western (mostly American) hegemony in the Middle East. It’s currently a nexus for western aggression against so many countries that are not allied with them (Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, etc.). Not to say that French foreign policy is not racist.
