“The situation must fundamentally improve for the people in the Gaza Strip. The whole world is watching, and this threatens to put Israel in an increasingly difficult position,” he said.
“We urgently need a ceasefire and an agreement on the release of the hostages,” he said. The international situation has escalated to the point where Israel is, unfortunately, finding itself increasingly isolated on the global stage.
So… we need to save Gaza and Palestinians not for their own sake but to help Israel out of a difficult position? What a cynical and fucked-up way of thinking. I think I understand why he and increasing numbers of esp. German politicians bend themselves into pretzels over this: trying to appease public opinion while still supporting the industrial-military complex and the state of Israel, while trying not to appear pro-genocide. Worms.
Born and raised in Germany, I have been a foreigner for 33 years. They had finally changed the ruling about double citizenship, and I was finally ready to apply. But this whole Israel stance is such a disgrace. So far I have not handed an application in, I feel too ashamed. I cannot imagine wanting to join a tribe that does what it does right now.
Right now the front page of the state news features that a hamas video was released and shows the hostages being very thin. I am raging. Yes it is awful. But you have thousands of starving children in Gaza. And you’re doing this on purpose. Hundreds of thousands of people dead, the rest has such a trauma, if they miraculously make it out alive, the trauma will epigenetically be passed on for generations and generations to come. And somehow your focus is still on 50 people? On poor Israel?

I totally understand your sentiment, but applying for citizenship is not joining a tribe.
