    Germany has been the biggest disappointment in the Israel fiasco.

    Biden and Americas shit response is expected, but Germany is straight up eager and wanting to defend genocide.

      To be fair, they’re in a bad spot and I wouldn’t wanna be a diplomat for Germany right now. That said, it’s crazy that they’re even refusing to say that they would arrest Netanyahu and his cronies if shit comes to shove.

      Germany was one of the big proponents that made The Hague as an institution happen. Now they’re saying “It’s not for us to make a judgment” and they would be right. You can pledge to arrest them and the ICC will do their job. Fulfilling a warrant doesn’t make you the judge.

      It turns out their power elites never ditched the foundational mindset that gave birth to and underpinned Nazism - that above all else Race defines how people should be treated - hence they’re supporting a Genocide being commited by extreme Racists and well on it’s way to a new Holocaust, with the only justification for that support being the dominant ethnicity of the nation commmiting it.

      Unsurprisingly, in that moral swamp the AfD is finding it easy to grow since they’re just support doing “for our race” the widespread and widely accepted political view in Germany that people should be treated differently according to their race and some races should be treated better than others (a view which has now been shown to be supported all the way to the extreme situation of maintaining unwavering support of a nation pretty much going full on Nazi on the ethnicity they deem “human animals”, because that nation claims to represent the Jewish ethnicity)
