Is Germany going to side with Israel?

[Sucuk Ekmek]

Looks like Volkswagen going to produce parts for Israels missile  ''defence'' system. Who knows... now defence tomorrow ammunitions.

I think It would be better if Germany could have stayed neutral. That would be a real big dick move.

Germany is not going to side with Israel, they are already closely allied.

The ruling party CDU is one of those "We stand with Israel"-sayers. No matter what happens to the Palestinians. Economy over peace.

 

It mainly comes down to the guilt of the Holocaust and being a puppet to the US.

Criticizing Zionism in Germany could even get you in jail in a politically motivated sentence, because " anti-semitism"

All the lobbying going on in the US with AIPAC and the like, must be happening in Europa in much more secret

The problem is that most of the time, the criticism is being expressed in a black and white, unnuanced manner when it tries to delegitimize the notion of a Jewish state itself, using problematic broad labels that give people a cognitive shortcut from a reasonable discussion, which only worsens distortions and misunderstandings. Then no wonder people push back against that.

The war IS fucking up the global economy.

The shameless and ruthless support of Germany during the Genocide in Gaza and still ongoing support is definitely not because of the Holocaust.

1. Germany killed 15 Million Russians in what is today Russia through barbaric means of starvation and other methods, so how is Germany on the forefront against sanctioning Russia and always the loudest part? 

2. Germany is not helping Israel because of their crimes in the Holocaust, they help Israel unconditionally because they have already found the new "Sündenbock" (scapegoat) who are the Muslims, the hatred against Muslims in Germany and the rise of the fascist party AFD together with the support in the Gaza Genocide are clear signs that Germans is trying to get rid of the guilt of their barbaric ancestors, their terrible grand and great grandfather who very psychologically sick people, they use the current trend of hating muslims to put that guilt upon the PAlestinians, declare them all as Terrorists and Antisemites that are worthy of being "defended against" (destroyed).

3. The current Chancellor has shown himself already as a staunch Muslim or Arab hater, the AFD containing several hardcore Nazi personalities and its approval with 27% currently says everything.

I don't think so. 

Germany is pitted against Russia mainly because of the USA...
and because of conflicting political systems, pluralistic democracy vs autocratic fascism.

Germany is critical to Muslims because of mass migration and the subsequent destabilization of the society and culture.
I can attest to it as someone from central Europe. Tons of Chinese, Ukrainians, etc here, but violent crimes from foreigners come mainly from central Asian people (Arabic and Afghan).
That's a sad but open secret.

Merz just came back to CDUs original conservatism, after Merkel softened it at the end of her reign
