Just shows how governments are disconnected from THE PEOPLE! No state should have the right to 'exist', especially if defending its existence means genocide!! But this has been happening since the notion of 'state' was born..what happened to native Americans, Australians and people of the pacific, Armenians and one could even say that about the bashmooreyeen/Copts who were slaughtered in the name of states, relogious or secular, part of the old world or the new..Many states have been founded on the bodies of humans! The German guilt towards the Jewish people is a big part of the problem, as it also imprisons the society in guilt and shame. I would have expected the holocaust to teach us that what is supraconstitutional is indeed the right of ALL people to exist and defend their existence. Dehumanisation is first step to genocide, whether done in a nationslist manner or even through propaganda, the manipulation of the collective conscious and by silencing any truth..so the German government is indeed genocidal and responsible, and it is the duty of the German people to bring their government down/ in check as they no longer represent them or fit to govern a land that has been through a lot of traumas and still managed to build greatness from the rubble. I understand how the German people want to move on from the traumatic past but being silenced by their government as it dehumanises Palestinians, will only end in them becoming dehumanised themselves and dragged back into the conflicted conscious they want to escape and leave behind. There is no way out of this except in!

They committed genocide in Namibia against the indigenous people of that country, in Germany against Jews and Gypsies, and even exterminated people deemed inferior such as homosexuals, mentally ill, and physically deformed people. and now they are complicit in genocide against Palestinians. I'd say the framing of the question is not absurd at all. There is something sinister about the way Germans just obey authorities while justifying standing aside and letting things happen, or even in some cases participating actively like the German police force's over-enthusiastic zeal in dispersing anti-genocide protests.

There is a lot of literature around that. Egypt is currently bargaining with Israel to get the most profit out of doing that. They are partners in genocide of course, but for their own reasons. Israel's ethnic cleansing is all about kicking Palestinians out of their land, they need Egypt to host them forever and Egypt, as any other authoritarian country is bargaining.

Though this has nothing to do with why Germans are genocidal.

I think it would do you good to read the article instead of the headlines because it's obvious you don't know how to even quote my words. I'm not in the mood to copy paste what I wrote if you're too lazy to read and then come up with these stupid comebacks. But for the record I never use this type of stupid reasoning.

Come back when you've actually read the words and cite the similarities.

I thought I asked you to come back when you learn how to read : )

I address your idiocy in my text, so it's not surprising to me
