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.
There are still a lot of old people in Germany who refuse to say anything negative about Israel.
They can never, ever take a position against Israel.
We can, we should and we must at this point.
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
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.
Sure are painting a lot of people with the one brush there buddy. I've never invaded anyone.
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.
"We're so sorry we killed 6 million Jews we gave them a genocide on credit"
Spineless cucks should have abstained.
Fuck Hamas, but what is happening in Gaza is absolutely genocide. Trying to diplomatically meander around that is fucking pathetic.
... There's a Nazi joke in there somewhere.
But I'm not seeing it.
Once again, Germany looks away from a clear and blatant genocide. It's almost like they're known for that or something.
Never stopped sucking Zionist balls since the end of WWII.
Thank skies I haven't considered Germany as a destination country.
A Stop the genocide in Gaza graffiti was sprayed onto my university a few days ago (Germany I should mention). Uni tried to cover it up but it's currently on display at the busiest part of the campus and I predict it will stay there for a while

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
