Berlin’s backing for Israel in the current context has irrevocably ruined Germany’s international standing.
At the same time, as a result of Germany’s neoliberal restructuring, processes of de-democratisation have been ongoing for years.
The deliberate erosion of democracy has paved the way not only for the selective application of international law, but also for the restriction of fundamental rights within Germany itself.
The German population is firmly against their country’s participation in the extermination of the Palestinian people. In a recent poll, 73 percent said they had a negative view of Israel, while 80 percent have rejected further weapons exports to Israel. Despite this, German arms export licenses to Israel have surged, enabling the state to continue committing war crimes.
While the German government’s blatant disregard for the will of its own people already points to a process of de-democratisation, this is exacerbated by domestic restrictions on fundamental rights, including freedom of assembly, freedom of opinion and speech, and academic freedom, alongside violations of due process - all in the service of the Zionist slaughterers.
and for that, i am ashamed
Berlin’s backing for Israel in the current context has irrevocably ruined Germany’s international standing.
Nah.
They are reverting to their old ways, even though the target has changed.
Why is the german government doing this?
Isn’t it obvious? Because they feel they have a debt towards Jewish people and the state of Israel that can never be repaid
Overcompensation.
and i thought that Auschwitz had ruined Germany’s international standing.
No surprise here, they are criminals too. Embezzling funds meant for roads and infrastructure to fund pensions as well as being openly corrupt.
They’re just arseholes who have no real economic agenda except filling their own poket.
Germany is more than the current CDU government. Chancellor Merz is the most unpopular chancellor ever in the history of the federal republic.
Omg.
“Zionist slaughterers”, “neoliberal”, “erosion of democracy”, “palestinian genocide”, “centrist idiots” etc.
It’s just a massive collection of hateful slurs, used in a barbaric narrative
- serving putin, hamas and any other party, not even pretending to follow any principles of respectful discussion or even basic premises of the law.
Ever heard of pogroms? Kristallnacht?!
We’ve (Europe) already been there. Lessons (should have already been) learned.
And yet you seem to cheerfully head the same way.
No, i don’t believe you nor your “passion to save palestinians”. You are only using them as martyrs - and you are responsible for preconditioning for yet another massacre.
One thing we agree on:
“It’s the same dumbshit story over and over again”.Israel is committing a genocide. That has been extensively documented despite their best efforts at a cover up. They need to be stopped.
I wish I’ll live to see germany on the right side of history for a change
Wow what a turntable of history
Israel are murderes and nothing else. As a german i’m ashamed of my government!
I am a german and i am also ashamed. Fuck fascism. Fuck Netanjahu.
They’re much more than murders, they are mass murderers.
looks like someone has krompromat on merz or his government.
I think “matching geopolitical interests” is a better fitting reason.
Or they’re being paid. I figure sleazeballs like him have a low price.
Merz cant do anything right. He even breaths thr wrong way. Threw this mouth
And AfD couldn’t be more happy about that…
Or putin
Same thing
Indeed
Israel is antisemetic
It seems to me a whole lot of really smart, amazing jewish scholars over generations and generations of jews have established a pretty rigorous body of knowledge and wisdom about how to integrate as a potentially targeted minority into society and how to immunize that society against being manipulated into xenophobia and racism/religious discrimination.
What is happening in Gaza and the West Bank… and Lebanon… as confident as I am there are no words to describe what is happening, I am confident there is no god that would ever call for that in their name, I guess that is not a statement I can prove or disprove… but at the same time I feel entirely sure any god that would demand that would be an abomination… so what else can this genocide occurring be, other than first and foremost a betrayal of judaism at a basic level? An insult to god, whoever and whatever you identify god as?
If you think god is a many armed spaghetti ball floating in the ether and I think god is a giant spacecrab, we can disagree about a whole lot in how those two beliefs intersect in political and real world ways, but on the other hand it is pretty easy to establish that whether god is a many armed spaghetti ball or a giant spacecrab, god made the universe and thus doing something that feels needlessly violent and destructive clearly can’t be something god desires to be done, in general… Would the spaghetti ball really want you to do needless violence upon the spacecrab heretics even if they worship forbidden beliefs? Vice versa would the spacecrab desire their followers to obliterate followers of the flying spaghetti monster just because their path to worshiping god erred in the details?
What is happening now goes beyond any distinction between one human and another you can possibly draw, it goes beyond any single evil act anybody or anything could commit to deserve an equally evil response, it is an atrocity and it threatens to drag us into WW3 :(
All hail his noodle-y appendage! ;)
There’s a German citizen, Albert Einstein, who would tell these politicians to get lost for supporting a bunch genocidal maniacs.
There’s a German citizen, Albert Einstein
Well, there isn’t any more, also he wasn’t a German citizen from 1933 on.
