    It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the country who effectively eradicated Jewish life in Germany and large parts of Europe is backing Israel. According to Wikipedia there are only 120 synagogues in Germany, compared to ~45 000 churches and ~2 700 mosques today. Before Nazi Germany there were around ~2 800 synagogues.

    The German state and every German citizen has the historic obligation to protect Jewish life.

    The easiest way to project this outward to the public is to support the only state founded upon Jewish tradition, in comparison to the plethora of Christian or Islamic tradition ones.

    That the Israeli government is right wing is imo obvious and Israeli citizens are apparently fed up with it as well.

    I hope that the killings end and that there is a way for peace and cooperation in the region. Every person using an ideology/religion to divide rather than connect shouldn’t be considered a good human in any society.

      Why did they vote for them? Why aren’t they rioting to overthrow the regime?

      I hope that the killings end and that there is a way for peace and cooperation in the region.

      This is about as useful as praying for peace.

      There’s never going to be peace with active settler goals and apartheid, the whole premise is violent from the start.

      Well I guess that justifies the ethnic cleansing then, since it’s for the high-minded goal of creating an ethnostate for Jews. Who could object to that? Are Jews special in your mind to deserve an ethnostate? What about all the other historically oppressed groups? Maybe we should support creating ethnostates for them as well? And ethnically cleanse all the people currently living there?

      Let’s assume you can find such evidence, what do you do? The muslim guy in the article claims that far right wingers are more likely to commit a hate crime against jewish people, this just sound very untrue. Why? Because if you tune in to many friday mosque gathering and translate what the imams are saying, it’s pure antisemitic hate speech. Not anti zionist, but also anti jewish.
