This is the legacy of a country that never denazified, but still falls in line with Western hegemony regarding the imperialist project of Israel. They have found a new victim to foist their racist paranoia unto and simultaneously use the widespread opposition among Muslims and Arabs to Israel (a state that ethnically cleanses and exterminates them) as means to justify their extermination because their opposition to the Israel is systemically and legally classified as antisemitic.
This is the obvious consequence of labeling valid criticism of Israel as rote antisemitism is fueling anti-Muslim villainization and hysteria. If you oppose Arab extermination and ethnic cleansing, you are antisemitic. And if you're antisemitic you deserve extermination.
This isn't a new thing, AfD have been pushing this narrative for years. I see that a lot of people who are the most vocal about this rn have ideological ties to them, too. Lots of identitarian ethno-state supporting, virulently islamophobic trolls crawling out of the woodwork.
ofc, it goes way beyond such circles. For example, the CDU is extremely eager rn to equate any criticism of Israel with antisemitism, while they simultaneously deny that platforming outright holocaust deniers could be seen as "spreading antisemitism."
The "Tagesschau" which is the nationally syndicated nightly news program released an article about the "3D" model of antisemitism yesterday as well. The "criticism of Israel is antisemitism" political line is an institutionally backed one at this point. The full power of the German ideological state machine is pushing this narrative.
Die Linke is also saying this. It's just so cursed.
Max Blumenthal tried to ask a Linke representative about a German Arab family being killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, and the dude locked himself in a bathroom to get away from him. They are also spineless cowards and morons unfortunately.
I should really get registered so i can vote, but then i see shit like that and wonder why i even bother.
How's voting work in Germany? Here in Finland the only thing I've ever needed has been my ID card
I mostly, just haven't registered that I now live in germany, I think then it is automatik. I think right now I am some kind of unregistered immigrant. I just looked it up and it is really uclear how i am supposed to do the bureocracy with corona and everything, which i guess is the reason i unregistered in the first place.
Die Linke is infested with Antideutsch western chauvinists and social imperialists
Holy shit, I just looked up the "antideutsch" movement it is probably the most cursed thing I have ever seen in Western left politics.
yup, it pretty much ruins my day every time I remember they exist, which has happened often this last week
