>> … in recent weeks, cracks have begun to appear in what long seemed like an unshakable German consensus on Israel.
>> … the fact that some politicians recently distanced themselves from Israel’s actions doesn’t suggest a real shift in foreign policy – rather a shift in discourse…
>> Germany’s current position might best be described as a new pragmatism – one that can no longer sustain total silence or unconditional support for Israel’s genocide, … yet still refuses to translate even its most timid and belated criticisms into real consequences…
>> Anyone who claims to take #Germany’s historical responsibility seriously cannot dismiss the systematic displacement and mass killing of … Palestinians in Gaza, the annexation of the West Bank, or the deaths of civilians in Tehran as unfortunate necessities.
