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

    Wink 😉! C’mon fool, c’mon over to Germany! You won’t be arrested because of our history which doesn’t relate to anything you might be doing currently…

    Of any country that could legitimately get a pass on this, it would be Germany. I don’t like it, but I understand it.

    “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!”

    While it is probably true that he won’t get arrested, the headline is quite misleading: they’re currently avoiding to answer the question, because the German also has a historical responsibility to adhere to the ICJ.

    They want to enable Israeli imperialism while not looking like they didn’t learn anything from being the reason the ICJ exists.

    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.

    Are they saying they’re choosing to continue that history?

    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.
