They overcorrected from last time. The horseshoe theory of genocide.
It's not overcorrection, they simply learned the wrong lesson from WW2: "Don't mess with the Jewish" instead of "Don't be pro genocide." It's also been a long time since then and the consequences they suffered.
They learned how to avoid being held responsible for genocide by outsourcing it.
Could be true. I think those are similar things. From doing whatever you want to a group, to letting a group do whatever they want to others. I feel like that'd fit on a horseshoe shaped object?
See Rwanda for example:
Where one ethnic group genocided another (Rwanda genocide), and now that Kagame is in power (from the victim group), he’s starting to commit human rights abuses to the other group in the name of “anti-genocide” but it’s getting closer and closer to well… Genocide.
