    Germany’s foreign ministry said on Saturday it is “deeply concerned” about the situation in Gaza, and that the offensive “could put the lives of the remaining hostages, including those of German hostages, in danger”.

    Saw another post about an arrest of a pro-P Feddit mod, and generally about DE siding with Israel to bizzarre/dystopic lengths. Didn’t know they had hostages in the mix as well. Could that be a reason? Relying on Israel force to get them freed? Hm. *format edit

      German government moved from openly supporting the massacare of Palestinian civilians to doing it behind closed doors.

      Their words hold no importance. Look at their actions only. Germany supplies 30% of the weapons for the genocide.

    You know when all those nutjobs kept saying that Israel-Gaza was a fight of civilisation against barberism. Maybe they were right but had the actors the wrong way around?

      Not us Americans… We feel bad obviously that 95% of our elected politicians support the genocide and all the bribes they take from the Zionist Lobby. We feel terrible there is no other choice but to keep voting for them. It wasn’t our fault when legislatures in 38 states pass laws giving Israel special privileges. Surely being called antisemitic has got to be worst thing you can call someone… The African and Native Americans, who cares what they say about us or we say about them. The Iraqis and Afghanis, who cares. How dare anyone criticize our beloved Israel though!

    Who cares? The really important thing is they are kicking ass in Eurovision. Outside of nuclear annihilation, can the world get any more fracked up? I know, yes, it probably can, and probably will.

    This is what Democrats should propose to end the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.

    This would counter Trump’s proposal to displace Palestinians in Gaza and turn it into a French Riviera. However, Democrats are too dumb to make such a proposal.
