They are trying to transfer the Holocaust guilt onto the Palestinians.
“If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.

If you wanted Jews to be secure, Palestine isn’t the place. It is already has its own people, the Palestinians.

One formerly anti-Deutsch thinker Jürgen Elsässer in 1990 demanded “the destruction of the German state and its […] replacement by a multi-ethnic state as well as the dissolution of the German people into a multicultural society.”
This sounds like a great plan, not only for Germany.

Summary:
The "anti-Germans" are a left-wing political movement in Germany that strongly supports Israel and criticizes any expression of solidarity with Palestine as anti-Semitic. While they began as a fringe group opposing German nationalism, they have now achieved mainstream success in promoting pro-Israel stances. They focus heavily on depicting Muslims and pro-Palestine activists as Nazis. Over time, the movement has moved away from leftist politics and toward anti-Muslim rhetoric and support for right-wing positions. Many of its stances have now been adopted more broadly in German policy and discourse. Although the group itself may be less influential, its radical anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim views have permeated German political life. Some former members have even gone on to respectable careers after pushing such views. In this way, the "anti-Germans" have had a significant impact on shaping Germany's approach to Israel and Palestine issues.

I do. Why not? Do everyone fighting the good fight need to be angels? Sure I wish it was pflp leading the fight but anyone opposing Israel gets my support.
