I don’t see any possibility of this happening either, as I believe that neither Merz nor any other German politician wants to even hear the opinion of the citizens on this issue. These circles have agreed to support Israel no matter what - even in the case of genocide, which they are even willing to actively participate in by suppressing criticism and supplying weapons. I do not claim to know all the reasons why this support is still being maintained instead of denouncing such inhumanity, especially in view of Germany’s past. But one thing seems perfectly clear to me: I don’t think it has anything to do with the opinion of the population whatsoever.
But politicians don’t want to know anything about that. They will continue to pretend that their reprehensible actions in this matter are supported by the population - and as this is not the case, they will want to use all means to prevent the population from having the opportunity to express their actual opinion on this matter.
By proposing a referendum on Merz’s idiotic initiative, I simply wanted to illustrate that our government’s actions are very far removed from what the population actually expects - and that neither the government nor any political party in Germany is willing to represent the interests of the population on this issue. Instead, they will continue to represent the interests of those in power in Israel - against the will of their own population.
So this was just meant to be an example on how our politicians not only don’t want to act as the people want but really doing the opposite for reasons that they are not willing to make clear - They just say it’s about Germany’s historical responsibility, but that’s obviously a lie, because our responsibility can never be to condone, defend, or even support genocide - Not even when Israel is the perpetrator.

The more than 60,000 demonstrators who took to the streets in Berlin alone at the end of September to protest Israel’s inhumane actions show that many citizens expect and even demand a completely different approach from our government, namely that it finally abandons its shameful pro-Israel stance in the face of the facts and condemn the actions of this state for what they are: state-organized mass murder.

Maybe one of the reasons has even a name: Ramstein (the military base)
Ah, I had hoped I was missing some knowledge regarding the opportunity… =(
Unfortunately not, I’m sorry if I gave you false hope!
