    As a German, this seems like a cruel joke to me - “Because of our Nazi history, we are committed to protecting against an ICC warrant the person currently performing a genocide, establishing camps to “concentrate” refugees and then even bombing said camps”.

    Fuck our government. This is about a war criminal and in my opinion it’s absolutely furthering antisemitism to allow the Israeli government to continue these atrocities. The best way to reduce antisemitism is to have the Israeli government commit less atrocities.

      Yeah they took the wrong lesson from ww2. Its not about jewish people and antisemitists, its about innocent people and people who commit genocides. Both jewish people and non-jews can be genociders and innocent people.

        So sick of this comment. They don’t do this because they like genocide, the problem is unwavering loyalty to Israel

    Arresting one man and arresting millions as slave labor and then gassing them are two very different things.

    Ignoring the UN which was created because of Nazi Germany, because of your past, as Nazi Germany, in order to once again play the role of Nazi Germany.

    Something about the AfD.

    I can see their point but it’s a bad comparison. This seems to me to basically be a PR decision. I don’t know how much was backing Netanyahu before, but I think it would be a better look if they arrested him to stop the genocide.

    “We wont arrest Netanyahu because of our Nazi History, and the fact that it warms our blood to see a faithful brother of the Reich rise up and continue Hitlers work. Sieg Heil, Netanyahu!”

    Unfortunately international media is not capturing the gravity of the German government winding around and refusing to say they abide by the ICC decision.

    Here is todays gov. press conference in German. Maybe Youtube provides auto-translation. I think the faces and the way they talk can be understood even without knowing German.

      It’s incredible how they can say nothing while speaking for 30 minutes. Gotta appreciate the very critical press though, refreshing to see. Where I live the press will ask what they had for lunch and then leave it at that.

      Thanks for linking to the video. There is an auto translate option for it buried deep in the CC settings (at least there was for me).

      My impression that I was left with is that the guy speaking is basically panicking because he doesn’t want to look bad.

      My reaction is “Good. Let the bastards squirm!”

      The German government has gone out of their way to silence any opposition to genocide. Fear of looking like a Nazi is the closest they will come to self awareness.

    And its Nazi present, apparently Great move using the Holocaust to justify another genocide though. Really shows how much was learnt there.

    The Nazis killed more Russians than Jews. Does that mean you would also not arrest Putin?

    If you want to pull out of the Rome Statute, just do that, motherfuckers, and spare us the lecture.

    Otherwise, fuck you and the high horse you rode in on.

      They already have, a fascist dictator (Netanyahu) was allowed to consolidate power and declare martial law to avoid being sentenced to life in prison.

      Now he is dictator of Isreal as long as he can extend this “war”, which will be as long as he possibly can.

      After Netanyahu ran out of legitimate targets from the Oct attack last year he just had the military keep killing everyone they could find who wasn’t a jew.

      He’s a dictator committing a genocide so he doesn’t have to go to prison.

      Zionists do not identify as religiously Jewish but as racially Jewish.

      To Zionists, Jews are not the chosen people of god because of their religion, but because they are racially superior. You might notice that declaring ones own race the superior one was somewhat of a common trope in the time period.

      This is why surprising to many, the founder of Zionism in 1896 Theodor Herzl, was an Atheist. It also explains the famous quote from Ilan Pappe;

      “Most Zionists don’t believe that God exists, but they do believe that he promised them Palestine”
