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.

    What goes in Trumps mind is a mystery… there may be even nothing at all! What we know is he care about money, fame and recognition. If he only was aware of the global sentiment toward him would be of all of that if he really became the person bringing a true change for Palestine and global peace… but he is really unaware of public sentiment beyond the US (that he knows better than most politicians here). For instance, I believe that when he said to Palestinians to move out, in his little mind he really thinks Palestinians lives will improve dramatically without any awareness that this is technically genocide.

      Recognizing Palestine would not bring him money (which is by far the most important of those three). And also it would not give him recognition from the people he cares about

      No, not really. He’s a pretty predictable privleged, sociopathic narcissist who has displayed for decades that he has limited cognitive faculties as well as that he is literally a big fan of Hitler, along with being a literal rapist.

      He does not care about Palestinians or Ukrainians. Nor does he care about genocide - to him, it’s just another way of illegally (he’s never felt that laws or rules of society at large apply to him) obtaining more land and power over others.

      You seem to be treading very close to apologia for a known fascist.
