Claims that socialist party Die Linke threatens Jewish life in Berlin are shameful lies. Sadly, many desperate German politicians would rather make cheap antisemitism accusations than address the cost-of-living issues that drove Die Linke’s victory.
In December 2024, after Amnesty International released a report accusing Israel of genocide, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Sebastian Fischer stated that “genocide presupposes a clear intention to eradicate an ethnic group. I still do not recognize any such clear intention.”
Merz criticised the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes during the Gaza war. In February 2025, one day after the 2025 German federal election, he announced his intention to invite Netanyahu to Germany, “as an open challenge” to the decision of the ICC.
Merz emphasised that Germany could no longer ignore the worsening toll on Gaza civilians while continuing to support what he described as Israel’s “right to defend itself” and the need for the release of captives held by Hamas.
No reasonable people have been calling it a genocide for a long time, downplaying the intent to erase the Palestinian people is genocide denial.
They have targeted every hospital & cultural center, it’s clearly intentional erasure of Palestinian, even if it’s not the goal to litterally kill every Palestinian… Yet
yes, i remember pamphletes from the 70’s (just shortly after the replacement of the Egypt and Jordanian occupiers of what was supposed to form Palestine by Israel) where that new occupation was described as genocidal. afaict the Palestinian population grew ever since. so, if there’s really such intent as you imagine, “they” just haven’t learned from the Germans how to do it properly.
you should also clearly condemn the installation of military installations close to civil infrastructure. i think building beneath such also qualifies as war crime. maybe you get the supposed targeting motivation right then as well.

Have you seen where the IDF puts it’s military installations?

Yeah, some people were ahead of the curve on realizing that Israel was a genocidal project to ethnically cleanse Palestine.

Just an insane argument to make, Holocaust deniers make the same argument about Jewish population growth in the Jewish Ghettos the Nazis created
nobody’s denying war crimes, but yes reasonable people are very careful with their rhetoric.
German leaders deny war crimes.

i wrote “reasonable” in the context of the Linke party, certainly not Merz.
I’m sorry, I don’t speak to genocide denialists and you are in no position to define what “reasonable” means.
