    Here’s the problem, the second we (Germans) criticize Israel in any shape or form, they start calling us Nazis again. The vast majority of Germans disagree with war to solve problems.

      Well right now your country keeps advocating for an ongoing genocide so maybe just shrug off their accusations instead of siding with actual fascists again. You know, like some other mighty nations like, uh, Ireland have managed.

      Even better, let’s just dissolve the German state - younger than several toilets I’ve shat in - as a failed experiment that has not gone more than a few decades without perpetrating or endorsing some horrendous human rights abuses. Much easier to ignore baseless accusations when they’re targeted at Saxony and Prussia and Bavaria than the state that still sings Deutschland Uber Alles In Der Welt.

      And?

      Do the right thing. Eventually people will see 2 things: a country doing the right thing and another one engaged in abject hypocrisy and projection.

      So the options are to either support a genocidal state and get praise, or to be called a nazi for not supporting a genocidal state? This logic is strange to me.

        Not only they call us Nazis but our laws call us nazis.

        Solidarity with palastine is often Times already equated with Support for Hamas, which then in turn is interpreted as Support for antisemitic Terror Organisation and the you are held legally responsible for being antisemitic.

        I bet there are already precedents when Israel was criticised and that was legally regarded as antisemitism, i am unaware of.
