Laughs in 10 euros a gallon, but pothole free highways.

… Had to read that last sentence thrice. Thought it said trapped in tight shackles of inequality, instead of what it actually says.

They still are today. I thought you wanted to make the point of the people from the past being fundamentally different/pure.

Even primitive folks have weapons and combat injuries appear in ancient archeological records too.

There are journalists on the ground. Many of them. There are large, international newspapers. There are far fewer than 1000 people dying most days. It has went on for years. That’s a slow pace.

There are some notable Israeli figures who argue in favor of this. I didn’t intend to write the are only a few of them, but that there are at least some.

I didn’t say that. I said the others don’t get enough by a mile.

There is ample reason for the Palestine genocide to be overrepresented, some good too, some bad, too. Please read this as perceived and not actual reasons, some are much less sane and valid than others, the order is somewhat random:

• compliance of Western nations,
• Anti Western mindset and propaganda.
• Anti oil/fossil fuel impacts.
• increased energy bills to all (i.e. you are directly harmed by it)
• Predictability of the terror attack
• ramping up of condemned settlers policy, decentralized violence
• failed Palestine/Israel policy for 80 years
• Israeli wealth
• few, but public Israelis arguing in favor of this, publically and righteously
• very public arms shipments to Israel, Israel being a global player in arms manufacturing and engineering
• overwhelming military supremacy of Israel
• freedom of press in Israel
• committed by a organized, large, stable nation
• Intel sharing
• water shortages, incapability of reaching a remotely equitable arrangement
• lack of natural resources of Palestine
• glacial pace of the conflict with very low rates of death
• haredi Jews role in politics and privileges paired with their policy demands
• a jewish nation committing genocide seeming particularly hainous when they should be particularly conscious due to their own, historical suffering (sins/suffering of the father does not translate like that, you shouldn’t hold anyone to that standard, in particular in lesser things)

Many particularly hainous parts of genocide did not happen in Palestine and likely never will, such as seen in al fasher. Also I feel like the points somewhat repeat each other.

I didn’t defend the genocide on the Palestinians. To be fair, I do believe it gets disproportionate media attention compared to other, ongoing genocides with much higher death tolls and suffering. In particular on the left. But this does not mean you should attack me out of the blue.

I consider your language insensitive as you should provide more context and condemnation when using such dehumanizing terms. I didn’t think you were intending to do so.

Current politics is very far removed from that historical context and forgets how popular those policies used to be all over the world. And using language like exterminate is dehumanizing.

Expecting Germans to be a fundamentally genocidal people is racist. And you, likely, aren’t even aware of the genocides that happen and are happening in the past 10 years. There are plenty.

Germany is less far down that road than other European countries. Being overly worried is fear mongering taking root.

The worrisome thing is necessary reforms not being done. And there being little chance of that changing. But same is true for e.g. France if we are being honest. And Belgium got a nationalist government. Austria had Kurz who did just what you are fearing in allying with the far right.

Merz has historically low approval.
