The current German government is attacking human rights left and right. It‘s frustrating enough when they claim to do it for safety but militarization is probably one of the lesser problems.
The government non-apologetically takes our rights over profits by gutting workers rights and the social state on a scale I have never experienced before. All the while Germany remains one of the least equal countries on earth.
They even threaten to take even more rights in favor of Israel by granting them unprecedented rights to exists that would put them comfortably above Germany itself in terms of priorities. This proposed law refers to a definition that doesn‘t even exist by the way. The fundamental right of a state to exist isn‘t mentioned or defined in international or German law. Nations have rights to be sovereign and military expansion is condemned in theory (yeah right…) but they can seize to exist for a number of reasons. Just take East Germany for example. Or the rest of the Soviet block. Or Saarland. Why didn’t Germany stop Saarland from joining if keeping borders is so important? Rendering people criminals who disagree that a country has a god given right to exist or that we have to do everything in our power to protect it is madness. Just complete madness.
I have to disagree. There is nothing comparable in the history of humanity that Germany has done to the Jewish population. Of course, Germany should fully supports the existence of Isreal. The activities of the Israeli government can be criticized independently.
Jewish people =/= Israel and two wrongs don‘t make a right. The right to criticize Israel is currently under attack by the German government. Many politicians equate it with Antisemitism. That‘s exactly what the Israel lobby is lobbying for.
