As fighting continues between Israel and Hamas, social discord is emerging in Germany.

    I did, and it’s just as one-sided as most of the articles i see, some are only pro palestine, some are only pro-israel, but i am german, i don’t want to pick a side, just like in a football match.

    i find it appalling, how israel (not “the jews”, but the state) treated palestinians for the last about 60 years, it’s an apartheid system designed to oppress them.

    i find it appalling that the hamas attacked israel targetting mostly civilians.

    i find it appalling how israel supported by all western countries sets gaza under siege, and mass murders civilians an terrorists alike, and talk about them as if they were animals.

    i dont want to pick sides, both are disgusting.

    just because germany tried to eradicate the jews 80 years ago does not mean i will support the state of israel to eradicate the palestinians.

        first, that was before the current conflict.

        second, i dont’t say there arent nazis in germany ther are about 100% more nazis in germany than i would like, but its the same in every country.

        third, it is MY opinion, not to pick sides, there are enough people that act on "the enemy of my enemy is my friend " so nazis can support hamas, as stupid as it sounds…

        i just think the politicians handle it badly when the intertwine the guilt of the holocaust with the unconditional support for israel, because the israel of today has nothing to do with the oppressed and hunted jews of WW2, they are now the oppressors.

        the hamas is condemned for their actions, israel should be, too

            Sorry, i didn’t realise the conflict started already over a month ago, too much sleep deprivation does weird things to my brain.

            but still, most of the article talks about how some people perceive their security, not how bad it really is.

            i know there are lost of assholes in germany, but i have to repeat myself, the politicians make it worse, when everybody that doesn’t support israel is instantly antisemitic and anti-zionist.

            does ANYBODY think that a person will support israel against their own moral codex when they are called an antisemite, or will the person more likely BECOME an antisemite?
