A German government is supporting genocide – again. Has it learned nothing?
Germany has made a statement in support of Israel’s defence against the genocide charge it has faced in the International Court of Justice.
The hypocrisy of a nation that – having committed the most infamous genocide in history – supports another nation doing the same has not gone unnoticed.
Willy Brandt, Helmut Schmidt would be turning in their graves. Note the German Government provides no evidence for its claim. It begs the question; why do you tolerate Palestinians being punished in order to assuage German guilt for the Holocaust? @GerAmbTLV https://t.co/xV2EAw1cat

It would be easy to say that Germany’s stance is based on historic guilt over the Holocaust – but it seems there is in fact a business interest informing this statement:
So, Germany not only continued arming Israel throughout its genocidal campaign in Gaza; it intensified the sales to improve Israel's ability to kill.
It is about culpability for the crime.

Germany has boosted arms sales to Israel tenfold since November, to assist and accelerate Tel Aviv's genocidal extermination of the Palestinian population in Gaza https://t.co/hIZ6IfkQp0

Sadly, it seems Germany’s statement is doubly unacceptable because it has a history of genocides including against one of the nations that supported South Africa’s charge:
Namibia rejects Germany’s Support of the Genocidal Intent of the Racist Israeli State against Innocent Civilians in Gaza

The full statement is well worth reading.
I look forward to finding out how the German government digs its way out of this hole.

So real reason for Germany’s support of the fascist/zionist Israeli regime is because it is very profitable – huge profits being made by multi national arms manufacturers in selling arms to Israel. Just as money and profits were reason why German colonists murdered these people.
‘In Tanganyika, between 1891 and 1898 the Germans killed upwards of 150,000 Wahehe who had revolted against German colonialism, and in Namibia between 1904 and 1907, they killed at least 65,000 Hereros (about 75-80 percent of the Herero population), and 10,000 Namas (35-50 percent of the Nama population),’
