    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…

    This I would say shows that they actually learned nothing from that experience. If there was anyone in the international community that should arrest yahu on the spot it’s Germany. I’m curious did Germany extend the same to the Hamas leader the ICC put a warrant out on? otherwise I’d say they’re guilty of playing favourites. Lets go one further, how about Putin? Is it only b/c he is Jewish? then that’s just discrimination.

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

      If anyone should understand what fascism is and how to spot a fascist, and the importance of stopping them before their genocidal plans continue it should be Germany. Cleary they’ve learned nothing. All those Holocaust memorials were for nought.

    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.

    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.

    “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.

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

    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.
