You mean America. The rest of us are against this and have made policy moves against Israel.
The responsibility of america is undeniable ofc they're the main offender. But Germany still use israeli tech.

I think it's at least part of the reason why they're so stubbornly supporting israel, at least as much as the official wahwah about the genocide they did 80 years ago.
Germany still use israeli tech.
That article is from 2021. This is a few weeks ago:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAH
In latest news, the rapist finish raping after it's getting too obvious he's raping a woman.
Oh? Remind me again how many countries have even an arms embargo against Israel? Or they have any sort of penalties against them outside of completely symbolic actions done well past the time they should have been? How many of those countries is it a crime to criticize Israel in? The UK and Germany at a minimum.
Germany and the UK are the latest two that have issued arms embargos against Israel, however considering less than 0.1% of Israel’s arms come from outside America, they have little power or influence there.
How many of those countries is it a crime to criticize Israel in? The UK and Germany at a minimum.
Zero. It is not a crime to criticize Israel in either the UK or Germany. The BBC just published an article accusing them of genocide. You are spreading misinformation.
Who benefits from this misinformation?
It is in effect against the law to criticize Israel in Germany and now the uk. It is against the law to protest in the UK in effect.
Neither of these things are true. You are spreading misinformation.
The US deserves the vast majority of the blame here along with Israel of course. The truth is, for many in Germany including those at the highest levels of power are if anything jealous to be missing out on the colonialism and genocide.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Wednesday defended his characterization of Israel’s airstrikes on Iran as “dirty work,” saying his remarks received widespread support despite some criticism.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with state premiers in Berlin, Merz stood firmly behind his earlier comments that Israel was doing necessary “dirty work” for Western nations through its military actions against Iran’s nuclear program.
The truth is though, for many in Germany and the UK including those at the highest levels of power they are if anything jealous to be missing out on the colonialism and genocide.
Sounds like you’re jealous of Europe being the best place on earth for worker’s rights.
France, Britain, Germany. All as bad as the US.
I mean countries, their national governments. America is the only country that officially supports Israel. Every other country in the West has publicly criticized them, sanctioned them, banned arms sales to them. Including Germany and UK.
Then why are those countries also arresting pro-Palestinian protesters?
They aren’t. Name one country where you think it is illegal to protest in support of Palestine, and I will debunk the misinformation for you.

No, policy moves. Sanctions. Freezing bank accounts. Banning arms sales. Don’t buy into the anti-West propaganda.

Seriously dude, you think people are stupid? The last two years didn't exist?

I mean I’ve just learned from another poster that “their contributions represent less than 0.1% of Israel’s total arms imports” in the first place, so it’s not like there was much power or influence we had over Israel.
They’re backed by the most powerful nation on earth. That’s all they need, they don’t need the rest of the West.

The only source I found about "Freezing bank account" is The Conversation (case in point about the lip service lmao)
