Freelance journalist and political commentator based in Berlin, Germany
Whatever happens, both in Portugal and in Germany, one thing is clear: the era of centre-left hubris in Europe is coming to an end.
Relatively few people seem to be bothered by a seemingly incorrigible Germany’s unapologetic positioning on the wrong side of history once again.
Berlin’s unconditional support of "Israel" has further eviscerated pretenses of successful reformation, bringing Germany’s colonial cultural DNA to the forefront once again.
Imagine what the climate justice and Free Palestine movements could achieve if they joined forces and began coordinating and organizing together.
After the profuse moral support for "Israel’s" psychopathic war against Palestinians on their own land, now comes Germany’s military support in the form of expedited arms sales.
TGD’s silence on Palestine indicates that it has needlessly internalised Germany’s historic debt to "Israel", a controversial concept in itself as it begs the question if two wrongs (Nazism and Zionism) can ever make a right.
It has become painstakingly clear that Germany unapologetically remains that “enduring enemy” of the Palestinians’ right to freedom and human dignity.
Amazon, like other tech giants, is selectively banning and deplatforming pro-Palestine content on its Merch on Demand platform, while racist and inflammatory merchandise continue to be sold.
The proverbial football gods have once again dispensed their poetic justice in favour of a multipolar sporting world and against one of its strongest opponents: Germany.
The German media, so mortified of offending the offender that is "Israel", even today with its most fascist and vicious government in power, is not interested in such inconvenient blotches to the halo of their 1990s nostalgia.
