The German government has quietly cut funding for Zochrot and New Profile, following an earlier defunding of Palestinian NGOs. Some observers fear the move will shrink space for those critical of the Israeli government.

    Nazi Germany still going strong in 2025 it seems.

      Good job reading the article. These groups were supporting Palestine. The German government (not just the current one) is overly cautious and does everything to avoid antagonising Israel, precisely because certain people are quick to yell “Nazi”.

        Perhaps people are inclined to yell Nazi because their government is funding a genocide and silencing speech against the Israeli government.

          I am very much with you in being against what they’re doing but supporting Israel is usually not the reason Germans in particular are called “Nazi”.

            No it’s not.

            Zionists are Nazis. Israel is a Nazi state.

            Nazi is an adjective not simply a political party from the 1930s.
