Dobrindt said Germany would for the first time join the leadership at the US-led Office of the Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (OSC) in Jerusalem.

Germany has supported the police in the Palestinian territories for many years to help stabilize the situation there. Dobrindt said Germany wanted to help guarantee Israel’s security.

    I just feel like whenever it’s obvious what he shouldn’t do (e.g. deepen ties with US/Israel in times like these) Dobrindt and his colleagues do exactly that…

      Indeed. It clearly shows the moral depravity of the political caste in Germany. It also shows the unbearable hypocrisy, especially since arrest warrants have long been issued by the International Criminal Court against the Israeli prime minister and several members of the Israeli regime. Unlike the US, which has never recognized this institution, the decisions of the ICC are legally binding for Germany. And yet, the German government is not just standing idly by, but continues to cooperate with this regime and thus actively supports the genocide of the Palestinians. It is far more than a declaration of moral bankruptcy - it is a crime against humanity in itself.
