Really? You shouldn't credit people for awareness and change?

Maybe if Americans did that you guys wouldn't be burning books about slavery lol

Germans continued to profess unwavering support for Israel as Palestinian children's bodies pilled up, so clearly their "awareness" isn't that "all mass murder of people simply for their etnicity is wrong" but rather the very specific "what we did to the Jewish People was wrong".

The former would've been "awareness", but judging by their behaviour in this what they've learned is not that a specific kind of action is wrong but rather that a specific instance against a specific people of acting thus is wrong - or if you will and using a metaphor, they didn't learn that stealing is wrong, they learned that them stealing from that specific target is wrong.

Learning to "Not steal from that person again" when caught and punished isn't really deserving of much credit.
