We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So what part of owing the Jews plays into their support of Israel(a state that does not represent Jews as an ethnicity) factors into supporting:

An apartheid ethnostate?

Genocide against Palestinians?

Rampant and violent expansionism in Palestine?

Rampant and violent expansionism against nearly all of Israel's neighbors?

Mass rape of prisoners of war?

Employing the most notorious pedophile to traffic minors to rich elites and politicians in an elaborate blackmail scheme?

An illegal and offensive war with Iran that has tanked the global economy?

Illegally possessing nuclear weapons and threatening to use them against Palestine?

Exporting mass surveillance technology to authoritarian regimes?

These are just a few of Israel's crimes against humanity. But I guess you think Germany should have to endlessly support those monsters.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about? You can't even easily get a citizenship without Jewish links, and that's not even without getting into the WW2 and how modern Israel came to be (again?)

An apartheid ethnostate?

It might be best to refrain from using words whose definitions can be a bit advanced, and therefore end up being misused in completely wrong contexts.

For the rest of your points - I just simply stated why Germany does this, not really getting into why they should not, but if you look at the Ie. military exports, then it has fallen quite drastically, so the support has definitely fallen.

When it comes to Europe and support of Islamic States versus support for other western countries or their allies - I don't think I need to elaborate here.
