Someone whose job it is to faciliate remembering a genocide calls a group of people “fundamentally evil”. Must have not ever walked into the museum.

And it all got sold to the plebes using propaganda heavy with race-based arguments and which left out the ethnic group that was just as targetted by the Nazis as the Jewish People - the Roma people, a.k.a. Gypsies - which has a long tradition of being been seen all over the West (not just Germany) as lesser than even the Jewish people.
The elites generally don’t give a crap about ideologies, but the ideological trappings they chose to wrap their personal upside maximizing policies in (for example, the excuses that German politicians chose to give to yet again support a Genocide) say a lot about what they expect will work best with the riff raff.
As a person raised Catholic in a wealthy Houston suburb, I’ve got to disagree. Lots of the business and social elites take their mysticism and mythology very seriously.
There is definitely a big element of class warfare in the German endorsement of Israeli genocide. But when you get under the skin of the European antisemetic ideology, it isn’t far from what the 30s-era fascists genuinely believed. Jews are supposed to be this race of insidious, cannibalistic, goblinoids that invade your land, slaughter your men, defile your women, steal your riches, and enslave your children. The opinion of Germans towards Jews (in the moment) is simply above that of Arabs. So Jews genociding Arabs fits within the ideological rubric, just so long as the Germans can continue to purge these same “impure” Arabs from within their own borders.
