The Slovenian newspaper Dnevnik's magazine supplement Objektiv is from the birth country of Melania T..Their cover shot:President Donald Trump wearing a Venezuela flag pin and bleeding oil from his nose.Not only Germans see, who he resembles.And that's where responsibility starts.The German team should boycott the World Cup in the USA.We should all avoid travelling or attending conferences in the USA for the time being. Money is the only language fascists understand.

@SheDrivesMobility Can you explain why Germans can see this but not who Netanyahu resembles or the giddy desire to help Israel continue to commit genocide in Palestine?

@aral @SheDrivesMobility The voters do, but the government doesn’t care. The voters forget and elect the same people again. Rinse and repeat. Sadly often the answer to “Why do they do x instead of y, when y has to be more popular” (at keast in Germany). > Do people in Germany think this is the right course of action? According to the latest poll, a clear majority believes the chancellor should increase pressure on Israel.https://www.dw.com/en/german-voters-want-friedrich-merz-to-put-pressure-on-israel/a-73569573

@aral @SheDrivesMobility For Germany it is special due to history. It is better to let other European Countries react.

@werdenfels @SheDrivesMobility Ah, so your special friend is committing genocide so it’s ok. I get it now, thanks.

@werdenfels @SheDrivesMobility Also, the money from the arms sales doesn’t hurt, I guess.

@werdenfels @SheDrivesMobility I mean, it hurts Palestinians, of course, who are being murdered by them in a genocide but it’s better to let others do something about that, right?

@aral @SheDrivesMobility no, it is not ok. But the government always tries to talk a moderate language.I personally judge crimes by the crime and not by who did it.

@aral @treuss @SheDrivesMobility There is no history, no precedence no nothing - just whataboutism when you mention discrepancy and hypocrisy. I'm tired of these feeble accusations.

@aral hypocrisy is, when on the one hand Netanyahu (and his junta) are accused of something, but in the same time Hamas isn't. I'm totally, completely fed up with all the bad news from Israel/Palestine. As long as any people throw around accusations and don't see that all parties have blood on their hands. I surely won't take any side,@SheDrivesMobility

@aral @werdenfels @SheDrivesMobility Bingo! But explaining the other, well complicated, aspects of German-Israeli state relationship need really several hundred pages and I doubt they can be summed in just few thousand words. Arms deals and other trade is just one part of it all.

@aral @treuss @SheDrivesMobility Yes it is whataboutism.Additionally, it is misleading and generalizing, and hypocrisy too. You are a hypocrite if you blame all Germans for the acts of the government. This is a logical fallacy that you wouldn't let slide when it comes to Hamas and Palestinians. Katja has not proliferated Israeli propaganda here in this post nor elsewhere as far as I'm aware of.There are other terms for what you do here, like rage baiting. But most of all it is extremely impolite.So please stop and discuss Israel/Palestine in those threads were it comes up naturally. Please go ahead there and argue with German genocide enablers - I know there are enough targets. You don't have to summon them here.

@aral Why are you starting this kind of 'discussion' under my post about the US in particular? The cover of this magazine is the topic — nothing more, nothing less.

This is the typical German response, which is why @aral ’s response is relevant.

@aral @SheDrivesMobility Not sure who those "Germans" are that you are referring to - are you under the impression all 80 Millions of us are a unified block in that particular question?

@aral @SheDrivesMobility Yeah, I know they exist, trust me, I've met them. Also met plenty of Germans on the exact opposite side, so asking random Germans why (not even if) they defend Netanjahu seems condescending.
