Shameful. Especially from Germany.
To our defense: we grew up with being afraid to even use the word "Jew". So after decades of shaming us, we can't just go with "Jews bad, free Palestine" so we just shut the fuck up to be safe. It's a reflex.
Me, personally, I just don't care. Because before the Jews, noone cared about the treatment of women, girls and LGBTQs in Palestine. Many probably didn't even know where or what Palestine is.
Correct, you should NOT say that for fucks sake.
"Israel bad, free Palestine" is what you should say.
Israel is a Jewish state, but that isn't the same things as Jews as a whole. Most Jews do not live in Israel and do not agree with what Israel is doing. Most Jews are not bad.
Isreal =/= Jews
What's important is that you've found a way to maintain a simplistic world view.
Shutting the fuck up when there's a genocide ongoing is how you go back to your nazi days. It's all excuses, the german government is fine with the gaza genocide the same way all other governments and leaders are.
I'm not the government but I just don't care. Oppressors vs oppressors. Not that my opinion would matter at all. But all those big words thrown here (not just by you) but also no action. Yeah, be against that genocide or not. They don't care.

Seems like Germans “shutting the fuck up to be safe” is exactly what permitted the genocide of Germans, too
Germans and their logic. Pffff!
Imho it sounds like excuse for complicity and the wrong lesson to learn.
If you get prosecuted for shooting your neighbor and shamed about it, what kind of leap is it to think the neighbors gets free pass on shooting others?
Why should I get an excuse? I just don't care.
Oh, I absolutely get where it's coming from. But at some point we have to realise that Netanyahu is maybe playing the antisemitism card a little more often than would be warranted.
Makes me think of a younger sibling going "if you don't do what I want I'll tell mommy you hit me, then you'll get in trouble."
Criticizing Israel is not antisemitism and I'm sick of people immediately equating the two.
Germany is the second largest supplier of weapons to Israel.
Ew, lol. The world will be a better place once you leave it.
Well the community just got better, at least.
But it's not "Jews bad". Nobody is saying that except the Nazis trying to sneak in to pro-Palestine discussions.
It's absolutley shameful. Even German language communities on this site like DACH@feddit.org just remove German public media stories on Israel if posted there.
Edit: Yeah they don't! They move em to nahost@feddit.org. I'm an idiot who didn't know how see the modlog.
