Original article in German

While not clear from this article, the German one mentions

According to the team, the soldiers were probably settlers from the area who have now been called up as reservists. They were travelling in a private vehicle and were wearing civilian headgear.

    Man, the 20s are a weird time. A century ago, it would have been the Germans asking the Jews if they were Jewish at gunpoint, not the other way around. It’s almost funny how “never again” is now just “again” now that Israel is taking charge…

      It wasn’t just “the Germans” that did pogrom after pogrom to the Jewish populations of Europe and the Middle East.

      It was all of them. Over and over again for millennia.

          Mind you, other religions can sustain genocide as well. As can atheism. In the end it’s just plain old tribalism with a different coat of paint.

            Atheists are far less likely to be committing genocide. Atheist tend to value skepticism and science highly as well as logic and reason. Combining these generally leads to people who are humanists at their core.

            I’m not aware of a single war that was ever carried out under the banner of atheism.

              You are poorly educated…

              Look at the USSR history and current regime in China. Literally doing the same genocide shit while being proud atheists.

                I’d argue that they aren’t so much atheist as they are fascist, as in, the leader is the god.
