2 years into the full-scale, live-streamed Israeli genocide against Palestinians, Germany's support is still unwavering. Why? Weren't they de-nazified after ww2? Didn't they 'learn from their history'? No they didn't. This is the subject of my new video essay:

We're immensely proud to share with you "Airborne," a new story by @enaselimo.bsky.social:

"According to Bosnian documents, he is a traitor. According to Turkish documents, he is a spy. According to American documents, he is an alien. According to them all, he is to be put in no position to help others or himself."

That's the narrative they tell themselves but it falls apart pretty quickly

Merkel: "Germany’s special historical responsibility for Israel’s security [...] is part of my country’s Staatsräson"

Scholz: "Israel’s security is part of Germany’s raison d’état"

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

His work, his marveling at the world, really stems from being a village boy and growing up without telephones and movies.

The whole film is worth a watch!

Germany is fully committed to the genocide.

In early August, Germany announced a freeze on weapons exports to Israel that could be used in the campaign in Gaza. But in the weeks since, hundreds of shipments bound to the Israeli F-35 fighter jet airbase have been shipped through Cologne: thediasporist.de/the-bomb-on-...

Die "German Redemption Theology" (@a-d-n.bsky.social) muss unter allen Umständen erhalten bleiben, sonst funktioniert die Schuldabwehr nicht mehr. Ich schätze, sie werden es auf "ein paar extrem rechte Akteure" schieben und den Rest weiterhin als alles prima ansehen.

"Scholars for Truth about Genocide" sounds exactly like crackpot denialism of the Bosnian genocide sounded like.

New (and absurdly short) list of genocide deniers just dropped.

In the entire world, this is all the credentialed people they could find to sign.

I did write that exact line on Tw*tt*r and considered including it here. One year ago, it felt a bit too much. Today, I would include it.
