The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced a pause in the movement of its employees in the Gaza Strip “until further notice” after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric blamed Israel for the attack, telling reporters in New York that the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle was “struck 10 times” by Israeli gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.
Five of the bullets were on the driver’s side and some on the windscreen.
Dujarric said the convoy’s movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military and it had clearance to approach.
Germany is still shipping weapons to Israel.
Faced with a modern version of Nazism, some EU members can’t be trusted to not support them even when they’re in the middle of executing their very own version of the Holocaust, probably because that view of human beings as inherently superior or inferior depending on their etnicity (aka ubermenshen and untermenschen) is alive, well and as strong as century ago.
The others (including my own country) just have different levels of bullshit when it comes the the Israeli Nazism and Genocide.
The only two EU nations that can be trusted on this are the Republic Of Ireland and Spain.
Germany arguably has good reason for a bad reason with horrific execution if that makes sense.
Given the history with Judaism they’re overcorrecting and I think we can all kind of get that, it doesn’t really make it right or ok but it’s at least better reason than haha profit. Unless like literally everyone else stops first they aren’t going to stop for fear of the potential optics.
I disagree, Zionism isn’t Judaism. Zionism was created out of antisemitic reasons, European nations ‘solving’ the ‘jewish question,’ instead of enshrining protections for the rights of Jewish people in their nations; and has continued to fuel antisemitism as Israel attributes it’s crimes against humanity in the name of all Jewish people, which clearly isn’t true. Antisemites love that conflation
Germany isn’t making that distinction nor are most countries at this point though that could be argued to be because of influence. I don’t disagree with the sentiment it just doesn’t change what is actually happening and why.
I agree, I think the continued support is more about geopolitical influence and American hegemony in the region. If the US pulled support, I’m sure many European nations would follow. Props to Ireland and Spain for standing out and not supporting this genocide
Even whilst supposedly making amends they’ve preserved the fundamental racist thinking that underpinned Nazism by going with “we have a debt to a race” rather than “we have a debt to the victims”.
Because of that, they de facto just changed who they deem ubermenschen (“Jews are good”) and untermenschen (“Muslims are backwards and violent”) without ditching the actual XIX cenrury notion so beloved by Nazis that race dictates the character and worth of a person.
You see the same in many other nations, especially in the Anglo-Saxon world, but none the less such racism is especially poignant when the nation that created Nazism is militarily helping a new Holocaust backed by reasons which ultimately trace back to their own vontinued practice of ethnic-discrimination.

Zionism being defined as self empowerment and not “manifest destiny 2 : rumble in the Levant” while calling someone who didn’t say anything particularly wrong an antisemite is let’s say odd.
No one said it was as far as I can tell, they made a comparison. The numbers simply can’t be the same because there aren’t that many Palestinians left because military aged men have been getting murdered or disappeared there for generations at this point.

If it’s a new Holocaust then the famous one has to have happened which by the by was not the first Holocaust nor only Holocaust.
Implying no other genocide could be a Holocaust is Holocaust denial boss.
