Nah Germany has done the anti-corbyn-esque actually the left is anti-semitic since before the 70s. Like I had the most rapid wannabe “anti-racist” tell me “yeah you can criticize Israel but boycotting israeli products is literally doing the holocaust.
The 90s actually. The "anti-German" political tendency in the left became prominent in the Kommunistischer Bund (a new left organization from north Germany) in the late 80s.
With the decline of other new left groups and of the Communist Party because of various reasons including Gorbachev, the fall of the GDR whipped the anti-nationalist left into a frenzy, starting from the "Germany, never again!" protest in Frankfurt in 1990. The KB had split into two factions, one of which ("Bahamas") was involved in the creation of Antideutsche ideology. It involves unusual positions like Pro-US, and pro-Israel positions, as well as opposition to criticism of finance capital as antisemitic, hostility towards religion, distrust of "the masses" as well as a belief that Germany is inherently fascist.
Antideutsche have supported the Iraq Wars and basically every middle eastern intervention, but opposed the bombing of Yugoslavia (1999). Their peak of popularity was probably around 2003 and are sharply declining nowadays.

Why do so many people just casually diminish the Holocaust like this?
Because its a gotcha thing. For them its the worst possible thing they can imagine and so they use to highlight how “morally” wrong something is.
