    Sadly she’s probably one of the more moderate Germans from the last government. Germany as a whole, learned the most narrow lesson from the Holocaust and Munich Olympics; which, you would think would be “Genocide bad”, but is actually “Israel good”.

    At least Baerbock has acknowledged the suffering and declared that “Palestine belongs to Palestinians”. That’s such a low bar but the majority of Germans don’t clear that. It’s very sad, but what can you do?

    For so long anything critical has been labelled antisemitic and sometimes also made illegal. The first news org in Germany to do Israel-gov critical reporting would end up in court and might lose it’s license.

      Nonsense. She was one of the most fierce repressers of protests and deniers of genocide. If this woman would face trials like Nuremberg she would be executed.

    She looks really young to be the wife of Adolf Hitler. Bathing in the blood of 100 virgins must really keep your skin looking young.

    Does it make you a war criminal if you simply agree with war crimes that others have committed?

    Bit of a wide reach to call her a war criminal, no matter if you agree or disagree with her position.

      Does it make you a war criminal if you actively defend the people committing war crimes while helping to send them weapons?

      If Joe Bloggs next door agrees with war crimes, he’s just an arsehole.

      If the head of the United Nations General Assembly agrees with war crimes, I think there’s a case to be made…

      I agree that Hitler should have been assassinated. Therefore, I am as much of a hero as those who tried.

      Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the agreement with war crimes make you a sympathizer? The act of being a sympathizer is deplorable, but not illegal. I feel like a lot of people take their name-calling to the extremes these days.

          And nuance left the door wide open for pedantry and contrarianism to come in and set up camp.

          Exactly my point but I guess I need to “listen to myself”.

          Yeah, you fucking do. You’re like “But is openly agreeing with genocide really a bad thing?” Like that isn’t gross as hell.

            Please work on your reading comprehension. That is not at all what I am asking. What I am asking is, if that is already making you a war criminal in contrast to simply a bad person. If you don’t see the difference in that, I cannot help you.

              That is not at all what I am asking.

              Your question was hair splitting in defense of a genocide supporting piece of shit. You just phrased it as a question.

              Please work on your reading comprehension.

              You need to quit gaslighting people for pointing out the only thing you’re about.

              If you don’t see the difference in that, I cannot help you.

              You’re only here to help genocide supporters.

                Genocide supporting piece of shit, you are saying it yourself! You are not calling her a war criminal either, and that’s the point here but you are not grasping that, so that’s it from my end. Have a good life with your attitude.

      Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

      However, persecution is an international crime against humanity, so if someone wanted to, they could make a case against her at the International Crime Court.
