Germans have an increasingly negative view of Israel 60 years after the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations, said a new survey released by the Bertelsmann Foundation on Friday
The report pointed to a significant change in the mood of Germans towards Israel over the past four years.
Back in 2021, 46% of German citizens surveyed had a positive attitude towards Israel. Meanwhile, only 36% have a positive opinion of Israel, while 38% rate the Jewish state negatively.
The German government has been one of the strongest supporters of Israel but has come under growing public pressure as a result of Israel’s brutal military campaign in Gaza.
While Palestinians are being targeted and there is a meticulously calculated campaign for them to suffer horribly, I would not call it Holocaust-like. That is not to spare the Israeli government, it that government were in the critical situation Germany was in 1942, it would have been also rounding up Palestinians (and whoever else mentioned compassion for them) in the hundreds of thousands and killing it in the spot. But we are not there yet… Israelś moral is more like what Germany was in 1940… killing tons of people and expanding in land, delusional of the world sentiment and fairly optimistic on the final outcome so no need to speed up the massacres just yet.
