Maybe if they try to address the actual issues they wouldn't have to fear far-right party which was marginal few years ago.

I think you know that one cannot engage by politics with Nazis to turn them. Far-right ideologies weren't marginal, they simply had no platform, the backlash of 2015 (nine years ago) didn't came out of nowhere.

The situation in the Middle East is sad, but it is not the "actual issue" in Germany at the moment.

  • The AfD will not scrap their plans if the situation in the Middle East improves.
  • Racist, far-right voters will not stop being racist, far-right voters if the situation in the Middle East improves.
  • Racist, far-right media will not stop being racist, far-right media if the situation in the Middle East improves.

Planning the deportation of millions of people based on racism from Germany is more relevant to German politics and this discussion at the moment than the politics of the Middle East that may or may not resemble this.

AfD is pretty much irrelevant in this deliberation, entire point of this news is that German govt, which is currently supporting genocide, literally transplant US political rhetorics in the system different than US, blackmailing you and everyone (unless you are actually in favour of genocide?). Last when i check Germany isn't even a two party system so there's more parties to choice and i'm sure not all of them are genocidal.

Genocide is the actual issue, as is the government repressing people protesting against it.
