After ww2, Germany paid the equivalent of many billions of Dollars in reparation for the Holocaust, both to few individuals and mostly to the state of Israel . Japan has been more reluctant to admit its war crimes and atrocities for all the period between 1930 and 40 , where thousands upon thousands of mostly Korean and other nearby nationalities were forced into prostitution in specialized brothels for their invading soldiers .
Turkey is another example, in denying even refusing to talk about its genocide against millions of Armenians who were living in the Ottoman empire, mostly as well to escape possible compensations to their descendants nowadays .
Australia is still debating their obligations to the Aboriginal people, where between 1910 to the seventies, Aboriginal children of mixed races were forced to separate from their parents and placed strictly in white only foster homes, all in an effort to blend the children to a white society, and speed up the elimination of Aboriginal culture and trace. Only lately has some officials acknowledged the grievances of generations of Aborigines young children .
Many parts of the world struggle with similar issues, and mostly the reparation's coasts as well as their moral issues . America for one has some serious issues and they're still being debated ranging from the native Indian American population and their fate, to the enslaved black population and its policies for long generations, to its incarceration of its Japanese citizenry during ww2 .
There are arguments for and against the whole reparation and apologizing arguments, mostly by parties inclined to benefit or loose ; " people in present generations should not or could not be held responsible for wrongs committed by previous generations." To admit guilt for an injustice and take responsibility for it is after all to be part of it . One shouldn't pay reparation or be the guilty party for something he didn't do or was done before he or she was born .
Recently it was rumored that thousands of NY families of the 9/11 victims were to sue the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as some of its young individuals alleged participation and financing of the whole terrorist act. It's to be enforced in the US where the Kingdom assets could be easily attained and confiscated if the courts approves it , we didn't hear about this case as I suspect it wasn't in the Israeli interest to open the case again, nor our actual political branch approved its consequences.
I'm citing this case to raise serious questions about the whole issue of reparation for grave injustices , could Palestinians for example raise a case in American courts against Israel, or Israeli citizens or even against Jewish people, and ask for serious reparation, both morally and monetarily for the Zionist's acts in their under occupation territories, for their killed youths everyday, for their apartheid and organized theft, dehumanization and annihilation of the indigenous population of the land .
Could Syrians of all walks of life ask the Russians, Turks, Americans and Israelis for reparation payments for their tragic situation?? Could Chilean, Iraqi or Iranian peoples ask for similar reparation for suffering years of blatant punishments or CIA interference and regime change and invasions of their countries . Maybe only the Zionists new how and managed to coerce the entire world and continue doing so for huge reparation benefits, obliging the world to shut its eyes of Israel's own injustices, will they ever accept to treat their own victims in the same spirit ??
My gratitude for every one's time and perseverance in following the blog .
