    As a German, this seems like a cruel joke to me - “Because of our Nazi history, we are committed to protecting against an ICC warrant the person currently performing a genocide, establishing camps to “concentrate” refugees and then even bombing said camps”.

    Fuck our government. This is about a war criminal and in my opinion it’s absolutely furthering antisemitism to allow the Israeli government to continue these atrocities. The best way to reduce antisemitism is to have the Israeli government commit less atrocities.

      Yeah they took the wrong lesson from ww2. Its not about jewish people and antisemitists, its about innocent people and people who commit genocides. Both jewish people and non-jews can be genociders and innocent people.

    Arresting one man and arresting millions as slave labor and then gassing them are two very different things.

    And its Nazi present, apparently Great move using the Holocaust to justify another genocide though. Really shows how much was learnt there.

    Unfortunately international media is not capturing the gravity of the German government winding around and refusing to say they abide by the ICC decision.

    Here is todays gov. press conference in German. Maybe Youtube provides auto-translation. I think the faces and the way they talk can be understood even without knowing German.

      It’s incredible how they can say nothing while speaking for 30 minutes. Gotta appreciate the very critical press though, refreshing to see. Where I live the press will ask what they had for lunch and then leave it at that.

      Thanks for linking to the video. There is an auto translate option for it buried deep in the CC settings (at least there was for me).

      My impression that I was left with is that the guy speaking is basically panicking because he doesn’t want to look bad.

      My reaction is “Good. Let the bastards squirm!”

      The German government has gone out of their way to silence any opposition to genocide. Fear of looking like a Nazi is the closest they will come to self awareness.

    Ignoring the UN which was created because of Nazi Germany, because of your past, as Nazi Germany, in order to once again play the role of Nazi Germany.

    Something about the AfD.

    I can see their point but it’s a bad comparison. This seems to me to basically be a PR decision. I don’t know how much was backing Netanyahu before, but I think it would be a better look if they arrested him to stop the genocide.

    “We wont arrest Netanyahu because of our Nazi History, and the fact that it warms our blood to see a faithful brother of the Reich rise up and continue Hitlers work. Sieg Heil, Netanyahu!”

        So sick of this comment. They don’t do this because they like genocide, the problem is unwavering loyalty to Israel

    The Nazis killed more Russians than Jews. Does that mean you would also not arrest Putin?

    If you want to pull out of the Rome Statute, just do that, motherfuckers, and spare us the lecture.

    Otherwise, fuck you and the high horse you rode in on.

    Comments like this are more likely to foster antisemitism than counter it.

    My guess is that they are saying this because in September 2023 they made a deal with Israel to buy their missile defense system. Instead of buying a European version with the French mind you, but that’s a whole other stupid fucking can of worms.

    Well, October 2023 passed by and then it got a bit trickier over time to support Israel. But besides demands to maintain humanitarian care for Gazans, my government has done nothing of substance to stop supporting Israel. It is beyond shameful, this decision will haunt us in the future when Israel inevitably loses its position and we have to answer why we are so stupid to buy from Israeli right wing extremists (and the US) to begin with instead of starting EU projects if we have to. Not to mention the biggest thing, supporting open genocide.

    We always talk big about EU stronk, but I can’t help to sympathize with the French (and other EU govs) when they are pissed at my country. We have taken the call every time the US wants something instead of considering European interests plus have run austerity for 20 years now in every government in the time period. We have a real knack for getting ourselves into a dependency of big powers, even Russia with their gas. We lack any vision how to fix our problems and build a strong European union while being the biggest member. Meanwhile the right builds it’s own vision, fortress europe. Thanks Merkel, thanks Scholz, you’re really good at managing.

    All this to say my government sucks because they won’t arrest Bibi. Fuck that guy and frankly fuck Israel for committing a genocide. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.

      How ridiculous is it to rely an army on a missile system from a colony which Germany needs to kiss the floor for? If they can’t even count on Israel to deliver the weapons unless they support their war crimes what is the point of relying on that.

    Ah…so they’re continuing with their support of the evil… They learned nothing… Are we sure they aren’t Democrats?
