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.

    That’s what I said, it’s not an advantage in the American political landscape. It’s only a tiny minority of democrat politicians, and not even a majority of the general voting public cares about Palestine enough to change their behavior.

    And most people are just in the tank for israel :| I think we’re just doomed to fascism at this point we’re gonna have to suffer through it
