Namely the genocide on the Jews by the nationalsocialists. Germany doesn’t have a special history with Palestine, so they don’t get mentioned. And yes, I think Germany should recognise a Palestinian state.

You keep intentionally conflating Judaism and Zionism after been corrected. Furthermore you don’t appear to know the history of israel. Zionists had been colonizing Palestine years before Hitler came to power.

minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down3·3 months agoBut that’s the point. Recognizing israel is absolutely irrelevant to anti-semitism. If anything israel using Judaism as a shield for their war crimes is the biggest cause of anti-semitism. So this move by the German government does not combat anti-semitism. It creates anti-semitism by specifically calling israel a “Jewish” state.
