Why the hell does Germany and Merz get such a pass for endorsing the Genocide in Gaza, The West Bank and Lebanon???

    At the same time, Saar said he assured Wadephul that Israel has “no territorial ambitions in Lebanon.”

    I don’t know about that. I think they very much intend annex parts of Lebanon.

      Israeli officials have literally stated their intention is to do to southern Lebanon what they are doing to Gaza, which is explicitly Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing along with purposeful destruction of homes at a general scale to facilitate those things.

      Fuck all these insufferable rightwing and centrist Germans who are sticking their fingers in their ears about this or pointing at Trump and saying “let the american idiot do it, it will only benefit us!”, y’all have blood on your hands, a LOT of it.

      I really REALLY do not get why Germany is considered so highly by the international community, it is a society wholistically incapable of and unwilling to immunize itself against rightwing fascism even after repeated disasters resulting from Germany becoming convinced it is better than any other nation and I see no evidence yet this current case of fascist nationalism isn’t terminal for the country longterm.

      Given that Germany perpetrated the Holocaust against Jews and other “unwanteds” and has tried to grapple with having done so for the rest of the 20th century, Germany should ABSOLUTELY be one of the first nations to condemn the Palestinian Genocide and the Genocidal behavior of Israel in general. Germany has a responsibility to and the fact that most of what I hear from Germany is “we don’t care if they mow the grass every once in awhile over there!” is truly pathetic.

      Wasn’t Wadepuhl alive in the 80s when the same assurances were given to the yanks couple of hours before Israeli tanks entered Beirut?

      No no, it’s not ethnic cleansing or annexing, it’s only ‘creating a buffer’.
      After which they will fill it with settlers who in their turn will need another buffer.
