    I’m part jewish myself. My great grandmother was killed by the nazis during the Holocaust. Yet Germans are trying to gaslight people like me for speaking about the fact that Palestinians are humans and should be treated as such. All of the German talk about “Erinnerungskultur” (memory culture) makes me want to puke. It feels very performative and void of any substance.

        So the guy you just linked as a historian (one historian, not historians) is an ex AfD (extremist right wing party) politician.

        Has he published any books on Israel Palestine or why would whatever he says be worth a dime?

        On another note, I find it hilarious that he uses the example of illegal israeli settlers getting attacked by the local population after driving through the West Bank, which last time I checked was definitely NOT in Israel and absolutely no one welcomed them there. Now I wonder, what were these Israelis doing there in illegally occupied territories? And he uses that as an example to justify his racist ideology that every single Palestinian would “stab an israeli in the back if they had the chance”. The german delusions at their best.

          During all of this ask yourself one thing: What could Hamas do to stop the violence?

          Dude, I fucking don’t care for the tears of Hamas-Lovers. The international Law is harsh but straight forward: Israel has the right to self defend and if Hamas fights back by shooting its own people and hiding behind kids - their problem. The current objectives of Israel align perfectly with international Law:

          1. return of the hostages
          2. make Hamas a non-thread. Either by making Hamas surrender and return all weapons or by Hamas dying in g(l)ory and taking some of their civilians with them. See, I laughed my ass off when South Africa sued Germany for supporting Israel because the only outcome by Law would be “Germany is acting by the Law.” the same will happen for the current case against Netanjahu - he might be a cretin but he is not a criminal. For Hamas though… I am pretty sure Den Haag will happy sue an arrest warrent for them. You hate this? Well, that is international Law.

            If the international law is so clear cut then Israel would’ve left the territories it occupies illegally under international law. They’ve been invading, occupying and settling for decades. That is illegal and has been declared as such by the UN. Israel actively goes against international law. So get off your high horse there.

            But look, at least the people out of your German bubble, the people around the world, can see how delusional the German society really is. You’re boiling in your own delusions. A fever dream, a parallel reality that even Israel allies do not share with you. Not even America. It’s going to be a hard wakeup call when these delusions come crumbling down around you.
