Some 1984 shit...

"In the 1948 War of Independence, 6000 Jews were killed, fully 1% of the total population (was it a genocide?)", a Twitter post by Mor reads

Nine mentioned of arab terrorism, six mentions of pogroms run by Arabs..

Truly, it's as if Germany has learnt absolutely nothing from it's past.

This is the first time in my life I feel ashamed being a German.

The blind support for Israel by the current government and making Germany complicit in a genocide again - it is beyond disgusting. I will never vote for the social democrats or greens again. I will NEVER forgive them this. Luckily in Germany there are other parties waste your vote on.

Of course other western nations under the directive of the US and Israel are complicit in this genocide as well. And I imagine they are pushing fascist propaganda like that leaflet too in various forms. You should be furious at your governments as well.

We learn about fascism and the horrors of nazi Germany in school, but of course, almost all western former colonial powers have committed horrible crimes against humanity and genocide. We Germans should know better that fascist systems amplifying the worst of human nature are NOT uniquely German but that all nations are susceptible to this. Including Israel of course.

I have to confess I missed too exactly how bad the fascist ideology has gotten within Israel. But it's happening everywhere, US, South America, India has gotten pretty bad, Russia of course, Europe is pushing somewhat back... it is impossible to follow it all and not want to turn off. And there is a massive media bias in the German mainstream press. They report the facts about Israel but frame and explain them so that you emotionally root for Israel.

There have been massive protests against the fascist AfD and the misinformation and conspiracy theories they further. And we all slap each other on the back while at the same time the main German news media are spreading these fake and misleading narratives.

And of course the reason US/EU supports Israel is because they are our allies, our pitbull in the middle east, keeping the whole region unstable and under control. The repercussions for "loosing Israel" would be high.

I fear things are only going to get worse in the future as material conditions deteriorate, and climate change creates a billion refugees over the next hundred years. Fascism, wars, genocide and megadeaths will become the new norm.

Germany trying real hard to constantly be on the wrong side of history when it comes to genocide.

Propaganda justifying violence by an etnic group deemed superior against an etnic group deemed inferior complete with fables of how the true victims are the etnic group with more power which is attacking the other one, with the Reich enforcing its use for indoctrination of children.

Goebbels would've been proud.

Insanity. We are living in clown world.

People don’t understand that people who have ideologies like nazi and zionazi will never stop after genociding one ethnic/religious group, after they are done with palestinians/muslims, you can be sure someone else will be next, we can already see this with them bombing churches

It is worth noting that Neukölln is a district with an enormous share of non-ethnic citizens and foreigners, many of whom are Muslims.

I would assume that factored into the decision in some way or another.

The brochure.

Germany is one of the few countries supporting genocide in Gaza and zionistic narrative is common sense in their medias and politics. It's a far right country. They even were thinking in forbidding pro-palestine demonstrations. "Anti-semitic".

anyone remember south park we still hate you?

i plain hate idf as much as hamas as they are both facists.

Germans winning at being brain-dead and learning absolutely nothing about their genocidal history.

This country is a joke

I'm as appalled as anyone here, but as someone who speaks German, follows German media and worked in Germany for several years, please stop with the misinformed "Germany supporting genocide again, I guess they never change hurr durr" bullshit.

Germans know their history and every kid is taught a deep shame of what past Germans had done. They feel they owe an infinitely large debt to all Jews for the horrors of the holocaust. They all still feel responsible.

There are laws against antisemitism. Again, this is reasonable for a country with this history. They don't want any of this to come back, or to make a joke or justification of what happened. Joke about Nazis in public and you'll find yourself in trouble immediately.

About the current events in Gaza. German media and politicians interpret criticism of Israel as coming from antisemitism, even if the criticism itself may be justified. They may not hear your arguments at all, if they think you're just saying these things because of some secret antisemitic agenda. It's not that there isn't any criticism, but there is very little and it's always surrounded with a lot of "I'm not antisemitic" qualifiers. You can say something about the Israeli government, but not about the existence of Israel itself. You can call the killing in Gaza terrible tragedy, but never a genocide. Public protest doesn't do that kind of nuance, so it's regarded as highly suspect. The chant "from the river to the sea" is tainted, so you can't say it at all, regardless of intent, interpretation of its meaning, they will flat out stop you. In this sense, dialog is certainly difficult. Once you cross the line, they will dismiss anything after that as the ramblings of just another antisemite. It's not possible to have the difficult conversations at all.

I'm not saying I agree with any of this, but this is how German society at large sees it. For me personally, zionism and Israel are harmful remnants of colonialist thinking that have no place in this century. Germany needs to grow up when it comes to their stance on Israel. Israel can't keep oppressing Arabs the way they have. Peace can only come from trying to restore justice and that means equal rights for non-Jews, return of land, right to return of refugees, economic aid, etcetera.

Germany should look at South Africa, Northern Ireland and to their own German Unification as examples from history to follow, and admit their holocaust trauma is distorting their view of the current situation.

I read it as 1948 Nebraska. It was like the beginning of a bad joke, trying to figure out what's the connection between present day Germany, historical Nebraska and jews...
