In the rush to move on, who will make Israel face its moral failures?

“The other Germany” is a phrase that entered public discourse in Israel in the early 1950s, during debates over the reparations agreements with the postwar German government. Its origins, though, go back much farther. A small newspaper in 1920s Berlin bore that very name, seeking to frame post-World War I Germany as a moral, pacifist country that was aware of its historical responsibility.
