Shame on you for not reading the article.

First the Israeli team insulted them as being antisemitic, obviously because Ireland stands with Palestine.

Therefore they refused to exchange politenesses in advance of the game.

It was the Israelis who started behaving badly. You know just like the conflict that didn’t start on October 7.

Then Germany will leave, too

We should have made up for it by giving a part of Germany to European Jews who wanted a state of their own. The Allies should have made us doing so.

I don’t think that that Israel wanted Hamas to overthrow the Fatah.

Israel wants two parties of Palestinians fight each other so it could credibly claim to not having anybody to negotiate with, meanwhile building up some new settlements.

And that plan worked out for them for many many years.

Come on, this is not about religion. This is about European superiority and the lack of respect of other cultures.

And trying to humiliate the minority of people with darker skin color by showing them that they don’t matter.

And part of that minority’s resistance against the humiliation marginalization by majority society.

Just to show who’s the aggressor in this case, a little six year old video: https://youtu.be/e7mqfmZS5xM?si=xTMrTNBXuXr2UDnO

What do we expect from immigrants? That they respect our customs and habits, right? Is it asking too much for them to follow our laws and integrate, at least in the second generation? Of course, they should receive help and support from the local administration if they are poor. Unfortunately, we lack this because we have not wanted to be a country of immigration for far too long.

What do we think of people who believe that immigrants are only coming to displace us and take over everything here? Obviously pathetic paranoid followers of baseless conspiracy theories, aren’t they?

What duties does the government of a country have towards the population? It has to ensure that the population is safe, both physically and economically, right? It may not always work, but it is undisputedly the goal; something along these lines is also part of the oath that members of the government usually take when they take office.

But what if the immigrants explicitly refuse to learn the language and respect local customs from day one, if they refuse to integrate, not because of a lack of education but as a conscious political statement.

What if it were actually the case that the native population should be displaced or at least marginalized, if that was demonstrably the declared goal of the immigrants. What if they had the more or less tacit consent of the most powerful states in the world?

What if they actually manage to found this immigrant state and gain control over the native inhabitants with terrorist attacks and superior weapons technology? What if they drive out and dispossess most of the local population and exclude, disenfranchise and terrorize those who remain? Is this proper government work?

This is not a fantasy, not a conspiracy theory, this is our European colonial history in all states of North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

And it is the colonial history of Zionism, a movement of European Jews who, in a time of growing national consciousness, racism and anti-Semitism in the late 19th century, declared the Jews to be a people and settled a “land without a people” for this “people without a country”. wanted to.

In addition to Palestine, Uganda and Argentina were also considered. No thought was given to the people who lived there and considered the land to be theirs. Although the Zionists were not anti-Semites, they were Europeans and had absorbed the European arrogance of superiority since childhood.

Germany destroys the European Jews. A European crime against humanity. All European countries including the USA, Australia etc. have a bad conscience because of their anti-Semitism and their lack of helpfulness towards the persecuted Jews and organized a solution in the UN General Assembly with their own state for the Jews, from which fortunately not a single European power had to suffer .

They could also have given Schleswig-Holstein to the European Jews. It would have been fair. (Whether we Germans would insist so unconditionally on the right to exist of a Jewish state in that case?)

But all the old European anti-Semites were content to send the Jews, their suddenly found siblings in Christian-Jewish culture, to the Arabs. They’re not important anyway. Who cares what Arabs think and feel?

No one. Til today. People babble about a two-state solution, but for decades they have unconditionally supported Israel in making this solution impossible.

My view of the conflict has changed greatly over the past two months as I have listened to what Jewish human rights activists, critical Israeli journalists and former Israeli soldiers have to say on the subject.

Even the Czech Republic and Poland apologized for the expulsion of Germans after the war. Germany has asked for forgiveness for the genocide of the Herero people 100 years ago. The United States and Canada have acknowledged what they have done to indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities as an evil stain on their history.

This is the least that the Palestinians can expect from Israel, combined with the offer of proper compensation.

And of course Israel should negotiate with the Palestinians even if the democratically elected negotiators are terrorists. Israel’s first parliaments were full of former terrorists. There is no better way to turn terrorists into ex-terrorists than to negotiate with them.

Oh, I’ve always read of one million.

Did you do any research on what Israel does on a daily basis to Palestinians in the Westbank and Gaza, without attacks from Hamas?

Or do you simply believe what the government of Israel is telling us. Supportorted strongly by USA and Germany.

So you have to support Israel by acknowledging it’s right to exist.

Why should a Palestinian recognize Israel’s right to exist? After all, Israel has not even apologized for the terrible acts it committed before its founding as a state. Nor for the terrible acts it committed after the founding of the state to prevent the existence of a state of Palestine for all eternity.

If you disenfranchise, deprive, humiliate and harass a population in such a way that a certain proportion of that population inevitably grows into terrorists (and even the non-terrorists agree to them), then you should not be surprised if terrorist attacks occur. It is inevitable.

The first thing one should do in that case is fulfill the duties that come with having power over a population. And next you should talk to representatives of this population, preferably elected representatives of this population.

Yes, even if they are terrorists, negotiation and government accountability are the best way to turn terrorists into former terrorists. (It has also worked for many Israeli politicians who have had terrorist pasts.)

Correct me if I’m wrong: this digital currency would end the need of doing business with a bank, it would simply make banks obsolete?

They were killed in Nazi Germany

It’s only banning in the workplace, not an outright ban.

Well, it’s a first step, isn’t it? The more Europeans don’t give a shit about freedom and democracy, the more we vote for rightwing extremists, the more we will be ready to put a crescent on the clothing of Muslims, don’t you think so.

Who would fight for their freedom, you?

so if it’s no issue for them, why should it be an issue for these women?

Because women are individuals, even Muslim women, who would have thought.

And we’re living in a culture that celebrates itself for protecting the freedom and the rights of the individuals.

Sounds kind of crazy, doesn’t it?

And who are you to tell what’s other people choices and what not. That’s unbelievably arrogant.

Wearing jeans (or any other iconic piece of clothing) isn’t your choice, it’s just normal where you grew up. You just adapted to the culture you live in. You’re just a conformist. Or a ‘Spießer’ as we say in German.

And this probably isn’t limited to dress codes. How about ideas, ideologies, worldviews different from yours?

If Muslim women no longer wore headscarves because they weren’t allowed to, how would you recognize the oppressed people you want to “liberate”.

So, we should just accept backwards superstition and archaic societal ideals

No, we should fight that. With words. With arguments. And not by banning clothing.

Clothing is just a symbol and the meaning changes all the time and from context to context. People who want to ban clothing are just in favor of putting pressure on other people, on forcing others to be like them. It’s despicable.

I was a teenager with very long hair in the seventies. I loved my hair, it told the world that I was a free spirit. And it was a very powerful asshole-detector. Every now and then some backwarded adult would come up to tell me I would have been sent to concentration camp under Hitler. And it was quite obvious that they wished Hitler to come back and do so again. Just for me wearing long hair.

I don’t think you believe, but I am convinced that there are quite a number of young Muslimas here in Berlin who chose to wear a headscarf to uni while their mother says “Please, don’t risk your career!”

And they say: “Mother, this scarf tells them where I’m from. And if they keep me from having a career it’s not because of the scarf, it’s because they hate who I am.”

“All this pseudo-liberal, pseudo-tolerant, pseudo-feminist, pseudo-open-minded assholes, I would never detect them without that scarf! Now leave me alone, I’ve got a heritage to defend.”

You’re much closer to Söder than to a humanist.

Opium is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of the heartless world, the soul of soulless conditions.

The answer to this by you is: Ban opium!

My answer would be: Fight oppression!

The fight is not about drugs, it is about self-determination, dignity, freedom. It is the fight against capitalism. And today the search is on how to prevent the socialist society from turning into an autocracy.

Children have questions, e.g.: Where is grandma now? Until we have a satisfactory answer to this, religion will exist. But in a free world it will no longer be addictive.

And everyone can put on or take off whatever they want. We should start with this immediately.

I think it would be hard to find a leftist who is not supporting the struggle of Iranians against being forced by law to wear a hijab.

And equally we are against Western governments forcing women to not wear a hijab.

Forcing people is the wrong doing. Easy to understand, isn’t it?

You should, you ARE scary.

Freedom of movement is a human right! For everyone, everywhere, in every direction!

That’s just BS (and bad statistics and malicious reading of statistics)
