If Germany truly felt responsible for its past, it would immediately end its shameful support for "Israel’s" genocide in the present.
History will once again judge Germans harshly for the active participation of their elected leaders and the military-industrial complex they answer to in what can only be described as "Israel's" "Final Solution" to the Palestinian question.
Euro-Western discourse, designed to uphold global inequities and oppressive structures exclusively benefitting Western capitalist interests, routinely fails to understand the psychology behind anticolonial violence.
If there is one country that should be boycotted, for its devious supporting role in facilitating the annihilation of the Palestinian people, its pro-war megalomania with regards to Ukraine, and for its dangerous shift towards the far right, it is Germany.
The wider the state casts its pro-Zionist dragnet, extending its offender profile beyond Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims to include Jews, university students, teachers, and even uninvolved social services providers, the faster Germans are waking up to the authoritarian remodelling of their state and the realisation of who the real enemy is.
The state-sponsored persecution of Jews in Germany in the name of combating antisemitism has punched holes in the nation’s own mendacious narrative of antisemitism being something that is imported from the Arab and Muslim world by way of immigrants and refugees.
Germany, which continues to be an unapologetic ally in this ongoing settler colonial slaughter of eschatological proportions, is doing everything it can to get the Palestine Congress cancelled.
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.
