    Germany knows a thing or two about genocide so it’s surprising they’re not seeing it in Gaza.

      Germany is so ashamed of its history that no Israel atrocity can change that.

        Germany takes plenty of positions against Israel. You’re confusing us with the US.

      I think they are calling them weak. I figured it would be but when you put it in comparison we are almost there but not quite to the same level

    • It’s exactly because they know a thing or two they’re not willing to throw the term around willy-nilly

      What’s happening in Gaza right now isn’t a genocide. It’s awful, they are commiting warcrimes, but not a genocide.

      Funnily enough, what’s happening in the West Bank has better Chances of being classified as a Genocide. Yet all those “Experts” on the Internet never talk about that. They only see civilian houses blowing up, then they take the worst word they know, “genocide”, and call it that.

      Western countries records of respecting human rights are nothing but performative theater. They are part of the same imperialist empire. of which they all benefit from.

          If you live in a western rich country, than you have definitely benefited directly or indirectly from the imperialist empire, the western coalition has invaded many countries, ousted many governments, installed puppets governments everywhere there interests are at stake, and are keeping the weak developping countries in marching orders, if anyone of them would dare misalign they threaten them with bringing “democracy and freedom” …

            Are all the citizens responsible for all the actions of their governments?

              Well if you claim that democracies embody the will of the people, than all the citizens bare responsibility of their governments, except those who actively oppose such policies with political action but are outnumber by the majority.

            My country did none of that so fuck off with your all as bad as each other shite. My history is clean and if I benefit from speaking English or whatever you’re going to say I’d consider it a silver lining and not a benefit of imperialism.

      Is it possible that my opinion about Israel is wrong? No, it must be Germany who is wrong!
