    So far the only country I’m not appalled by their reaction is Spain. The rest are all so luke warm or plain wtf. Specially Germany. I feel like since WW1 they have an subscribtion on standing on the wrong side. Today they called in Iranian diplomats to tell them they should adhere to the rules of war and not bomb civilians.

    Meanwhile Israel started off the war by bombing a primary school & hospital. But that’s cool for the German goverment since Israel did not confirm they did it. So they are obviously adhering ho the rules of war.

      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.

          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.

        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.

        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.

      The UK as shit as we are and as horrible as Starmer is have also refused to partake. Though we did send a ship to protect our base so who knows, but we don’t want to be dragged into another illegal war.

        I hope he doesn’t cave to pressure. His recent media imagery has him looking like a whipped pup
