  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.

    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.

      Sounds like you’re jealous of Europe being the best place on earth for worker’s rights.

        I mean, yes in so far as you can generalize, of course I am jealous of that!? You think I like being stuck at the bottom of a cruel hole lined with gold and bullet casings?
