Germany says it will intervene in the genocide case against Israel, its longtime ally, in front of the International Court of Justice. Some Germans say the country’s defense of Israel goes hand in hand with repression of pro-Palestine voices at home. So what’s behind Germany’s unwavering support of Israel?

And I simply cannot understand: How is canceling liberal Jews who think for themselves not antisemitism? How is equating Judaism with Zionism not antisemitism? How is silencing Jews who criticize Israel not antisemitism? It seems that the German Zionism has nothing to do with supporting human rights or learning from history, but it has a lot to do with gentile German sensitivities.

Anyone who does not live in Germany cannot imagine the daily discrimination and racism. Firstly, there are barely 90 thousand Jews living in Germany. A minority is being protected that is neither present in everyday life nor has any cultural influence in Germany. Which in itself is a shame because Jewish life in Germany was also present in the past. Minorities such as Turks, Arabs or people from Africa and Asia shape both life and culture in Germany. And these minorities are excessively discriminated against in Germany, whether it's at the doctor's or when looking for an apartment or when dealing with the authorities. In other words, Germany tries to present itself to the outside world as an open and anti-Semitic country, but is completely discriminatory and racist, just like in the past. In fact, just as it used to be towards Jews. There is plenty of evidence, for example, that the Springer publishing house, which used to be a propaganda medium, makes racist statements on a daily basis or that parties such as the CDU and the AfD make overtly racist statements. But when it comes to Jews, they are now purified, but as I said, Jewish life in Germany hardly exists, which is why the parties don't find it so difficult. To put it in a nutshell, Germany is not against war and against the positions on human rights that they once promised, but is an active warmonger, as it has been in recent decades. Because German weapons are still being sold by the billions and these are not just for defense. There are German weapons in virtually every war zone. And such a country makes a big deal about human rights

Germany also fears Namibia might press charges against its own colonial past. I would like to see which opinion the citizens have beside it's political figures. Obviously the resurgence of centain parties from the past might bring nothing good.

@Volkbrecht 4 ай бұрын

No, we don't fear that. Why would we? Because Namibia might decide to invade if we don't give them money? Don't be silly. And with regard to the opinion of the citizens: they are generally opposed to having stuff from more than a hundred years past being dredged up now to extort money. Especially since we are engaged in a fair amount of development programs in Africa.

@TrickyVickey, it is overwhelmingly blatantly clearly an ethnic cleansing genocidal war campaign where the intent is way more openly displayed than Nazis did during WWII, so it is not really possible to defend it based on facts.

@@meetings3071 what angers me a great deal is that my country, the USA, is blindly supporting Israel with funding, political protection, military cover, weapons, and ammunition and thus effectively enabling and actively directly supporting what is clearly an ethnic cleansing genocidal war. The USA is supposed to be better than that, but I think this shows the extraordinary influence Israel has over the USA, because the USA is taking HUGE hits for this, losing MASSIVE credibility and reputation over this, and suffering EXTREME loss of geopolitical power over this. That the USA would harm itself so badly to support Israel to commit an ethnic cleansing genocidal war campaign would not happen except if Israel is able to apply enough influence and control over the USA to make it do so.

@Volkbrecht 4 ай бұрын

@@MusingsFromTheJohn00 You are not looking at the full picture. To the U.S., the Palestinian people are simply irrelevant. But the state of Israel is an important part of the balance of powers in the region. With what is currently going on there removing support from Israel may well lead to the whole region going up in flames (which may happen anyway), and the ensuing mass migration may well topple Europe. The U.S. could actually ignore all this and retreat to their own continent. But if they did, they may well find themselves in world without allies, full of hostile forces intent on keeping them holed up there.

@@Volkbrecht Hm. I think that the support of the US has more to do with the presence of American interests in the region, than with preventing the destabilization of the region. Israel has a lot of influence in American politics and media and the US will see elections at the end of year, where no candidate wants to have the pro-Israel lobby as opponents. And then Israel and the US had and have joint economic projects in the region, too.

Why Germany holocaust of Israel should be solved by Palestine country. German land should be accommodating Israel and settling the Israeli. Palestine is already small country to accommodate the two nations. The solution to exiles Palestinian people from their homeland Palestine that started 1921 now for hundred years has not resolve the Israeli peaceful coutry of their own. Palestine will not solve the Israeli ambitions of own coutry when millions of exiled palestinians people awaiting the return to their homeland Palestine.

@MarianneExJohnson 4 ай бұрын

It's guilt. They know their nation's responsibility for the Holocaust is so enormous that nothing can ever truly atone for it, but giving Jews their own country and supporting it through thick and thin is the best they can do. The need for Israel as an atonement proxy is so great that they have made the country essentially sacred, and any criticism of it, *even if true,* is sacrilege, and met with dismissal and anger. Nothing gets through. I see a very similar dynamic at work in the Netherlands.
