It is both sad and frightening at the same time to see that Germany has once again found an appetite for being an active part in a genocide of non-white peoples, by supporting the Zionist regime that perpetrates one of the worst genocides in modern history in Gaza, and that has also unleashed the same genocidal dynamics in the West Bank and Lebanon.

Yet, as Karl Marx once wrote: “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.”

And so, we do not witness a German tragedy but one of the worst farces in German history. Pretending to protect Jewish life by declaring a racist ideology to be a guiding principle for Germany that cannot be criticised is an unparalleled farce against the background of Germany’s history.

It comes as no surprise that Germany has taken the racist, genocidal Zionist regime’s side. Yet contrary to the political parties’ talk of consternation over German guilt, this step has little if anything to do with the Nazi genocide of white European Jews.

Rather, it follows from deeply entrenched German arrogance and its mentality of white supremacism that is consistent with the idea that while the “West” epitomises “civilisation”, the “Rest” stands for “barbarism”.

    The subheader has no chill.

    With the idea of the racist civilisation-barbarism divide so embedded in Germany, it is no surprise its parliament has sided with Israel’s genocidal Zionists against the Palestinians

    Westerners crying because the tone is not reverent and deferrent to the white people. We gotta be civil and demure if we want to discuss the genocide they’re complicit in guys.

    This article takes some truthful statements and turns them into a hateful propaganda shitshow of epic proportions.

    Not even the most right wing extremists in Germany have “an appetite for genocide in Gaza”. They have their own political agenda, which is to blame protesting local immigrants for antisemitic actions, in order to further their anti immigrant agenda. Their intentions have absolutely nothing to do with Gaza.

    Secondly, the mentioned resolution (as bad as it is particularly because of the unhelpful definition of antisemitism in there) is nothing more than the german guilt reflex, triggered by recent events. It’s not even legally binding.

    There is no support for the Gaza genocide among the people at all. Quite the contrary, accepting an obligation to protect Jews (which is good and necessary due to our history) and at the same time watching Israel’s fascist government committing war crimes in Gaza and Lebanon puts most of us in an extremely uncomfortable position.

    I too find it appalling how the Israeli government can play Europe like a fiddle, and what happened in Amsterdam recently is a good example of Israeli influenc. But most of what this article states is simply untrue. The authors mental gymnastics kind of want to accomplish something along the lines of “all Germans are Nazis because they killed Jews and they are also Nazis because they support Jews now”. Yeah, fuck you too.

      German politicians have no guilt. Using Germany’s previous genocide to censor criticism of their new genocide is as disgusting as it gets.

      On 7 November 2024, the German Bundestag passed the resolution “Never again is now: Protecting, preserving and strengthening Jewish life in Germany”, against opposition from academics and civil society, with only ten votes out of 733 against it.

      This resolution makes the infamous IHRA definition of what is antisemitism the basis of further German pro-Zionist policies. The German parliament, by adopting the ideologically motivated equation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism, has made itself finally the stooge of a racist, white supremacist ideology.

    Hey, if you wanna rant, then rant. Don’t pretend it’s journalism. This article is a little shit.

    Where’s mention of the extreme right German part AFD? The emigration of women in extreme right regions? The auslander raus (foreigner out) singing?

    And the worst part, I can’t find the stuff being mentioned. I googled some of the alleged claims and I don’t see them. Well, bing’d, maybe that’s the issue with finding 'm

        Google has been getting kinda shit for a while now. For a lot of stuff, can’t find what I’m looking for. But for clickbait and popular news that would’ve probably been a better option

      The extreme right is the current coalition ran by Olaf Scholz. Censoring schools from protesting against genocide. Beating up people for saying ‘from the river to the sea’.

      As for the sources, you can read the full article on the site. It it full of blue colored words which link to a source for a claim.

        Ah I see. From causing fascism and a pro Russia government in the US on to trying to get the AFD (fascist pro Russia) votes. Good job, russian troll. Trying to cause genocides in the western world sure seems like your main hobby.

          Lmao what the fuck are you libs on about. US billionaires bankroll Trump and it’s back to Russiagate with you?

          I didn’t believe Americans were dumb enough to believe all the propaganda in their children textbooks but I see full grown gringos screaming “RUSSIA!!!” when they burn their toast. Like Jesus Christ, you fascist mfs just can’t wait to find a group to scapegoat for everything as soon as the state department points them out to you. America is loudly, proudly yelling at the world how its foreign policy is about bleeding the EU dry so they stay on top, they blew up the fucking nord stream as they implied they would, and now you think the only reason anyone could be anti American is if Putin pays you? I live in a tourist city, I know maybe three people who don’t hate Americans and we all know them firsthand lmao.

          Maybe focus on what YOU did wrong by allowing fascism to be so normalized that it can just be elected by a landslide, or what YOU did wrong by refusing to hold democrats accountable, or what YOU did wrong by sitting on your ass waiting for the feds (lmao) to save y’all. The fucking Gestapo runs your government and y’all scream about the long defunct KGB.

      Google is dead. You look for anything even mildly controversial and all you get is 5 pages of US government press releases and articles that link to them.
