Grotesque racism on display: A float at the Düsseldorf carnival portrays the Israeli army as innocents who are essentially forced to shoot at Palestinians, 40,000 Palestinians killed

Yeah no I'm not defending the event by saying it's satire it's fucking disgusting, just making it clear this kind of thinking doesn't represent working class Germans, this shit could've happened almost anywhere in the west but I feel like there's almost a false sentiment that Germans are uniquely hardened zionists because of shit like this

I’m curious how this aligns by party preference. AFD is doing well in the polls last I checked but the average afd voter is more pro Israel than the average spd voter right?

God I hope so, I hope these statistics are showing good anti-israel and not b a d a n t i - I s r a e l doomjak

The German press does frame the atrocities very pro Israel. They do present the facts but if you look at the headlines and the language. Everyone is rightly protesting the AfD but meanwhile the government AGAIN makes Germany complicit in a genocide. And it's a coalition of social democrats, greens and libertarians no less.
