So the occupation regime has 36% support and 38% opposition. This is I guess a silver lining kind of.

I have a German friend who I kind of take as a bell weather test for the german political opinion, since he is painfully “centrist”. He tells me that (in hush hush tones) that Germans are tired of paying money to Ukraine and Israel.

Basically, war fatigue hits hard when

1. You aren’t defending anything worth defending
2. Your politicians use war aid as an excuse to cut social services
3. The people you are helping constantly brag about how fascist they are

Damn, sounds like Germany better crack down on all this anti-semitism and make being critical of Israel illegal.

Even if that’s true (I’m not noticing it, even people who call themselves Antifa actively support the apartheid colony), it won’t have a noticeable effect on policy. The ruling class is much too invested in Isn’treal, a lot of people see only the Jews as victims of the holocaust and equate them with Israel. Combine that with the smug guilt culture (“we were bad but we have reflected on the past and now we’re better and know better than everybody else”) and a media Scape that practically only allows for Zionist talking points. I don’t see how the average germ*n will ever come to see the truth that Germany is again actively complicit in the genocide against the Palestinians by unapologetically supporting Israel

Because they’re so supportive of Palestinians, right?
