Merz also says he “no longer understands” the Israeli military's objective in Gaza.
Maybe you shouldn't have made it literally illegal to understand the Israeli military's objective in Gaza 
The German Chancellor of all world leaders not understanding the goal of genocide, leading a country that prides itself on being the biggest understanders of genocidal dictators because "we did it before, so we know it best", is just pure schadenfreude.
You will literally lose your job and be sued if you go against the "staatsräson"
"No longer justified"
"No longer Justified"
WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO LONGER!? SO IT WAS JUSTIFIED BEFORE HUH!?
don't be bigoted, genocide is crucial to german culture
Trying to get Germans to not do genocide is erasing their culture, and trying to erase a culture is genocide 
I’ve seen chuds use this argument on how we’re reverse-racist.
I can excuse a bit of genocide, especially after the victims fought back, but ramping it up to this degree is where I draw the line
Implying everything up to this point was justified.
I guess even the German stomach for genocide has limits.
Harming the civilian population to such an extent, as has increasingly been the case in recent days, can no longer be justified
not a chance that this is on moral grounds
It must be coming from German society.
The average German has finally had enough and the Chancellor is concerned Germans might become ungovernable. There's only so much repression they can do before the repression, itself, creates further resistance.
A recent poll has found that Germans just want to go back to genocides happening quietly, not where people might actually hear about them regularly.
Sample size: my parents
They probably saw this:
Translation: “Are the military acts of Israel against Hamas justified?”
They probably just got scared of go against most other European countries, because merz definitely does not give a single damn about palestine.
you know that a country is sehr demokratisch when 80% of the people are against the official enforced policy
Democracy is when your only option is rule by people that the majority hate, who do things the majority don't want.
They cant allow people to form their own opinions on that matter, especially if they diverge from elite opinions. Thats why even in 2019 they literally cut the live-feed during an interview once a Palestinian man called out Israeli oppression. And libs wonder why their "democratic organs" are delegitimized and "misinformation" is widespread.
I haven't seen any evidence there's widespread outrage in Germany; the government, media, bureaucracy, police and schools are 99% supportive of the genocide
Protests seem limited to a couple dozen people to occasionally a couple hundred spread out ineffectively across the country
Over a thousand people took part in the most recent protest I can find. But, yeah, that's still not very many.
I guess the Chancellor got spooked?
I have no idea what caused him to change his stance otherwise.
There's a recent video of an injured child stumbling through flames after Israel bombed a school, it's became viral everywhere except the west
The German slime didn't change his stance, his statement is just a one time release to offset international outrage should the video become viral IN THE WEST like the burning videos of last year
I'm going to regret asking but where is this video
I think it's on the worldnews comm

I'm assuming the guy got some non-public info on how that ICJ case is doing and doesn't think it ends well if you have to explain how no, actually, we don't give a shit about the geopolitical order. I think that'd be a tough sell to lots of germans, you don't really get the kind of jingoistic approaches like, say, the US or Britain that much, it's much more along the lines of being "the only sane man" doing technocratic aid
Maybe I’m overly cynical, but maybe EU is going to withdraw support for Israel to use as leverage against Trump admin in their dumb tariff negotiations.
Doubt, it’s definitely going to be more hidden away. Especially with the ICJ ruling soon.

So genocides can be justified? Why thank you Germany, love that y'all are apparently the key leader in knowing what a "justified genocide" is.
Oh yeah, not what I was making the joke on nor understasnd the relevancy (I'm also currently lowkey sleep deprived), but makes sense that ethnic Germans would not be enjoying "fun times" at all post WWII

They are covering their asses because isn’treal intends to murder every last person in Gaza.
This is kind of like when the Waffen SS being spooked by how the Balkan/ Romanian Collaborationists behaved during ww2
Is he on bskye? So I can send him postcards from Gaza. That's my recent satisfaction, but I don't know much politicans by name. Anyways, whoever wants those postcards, I will gladly share. My phone is full of evidence.
Mossad, don't bother, I have 3 copies of it. Even if you fuck up my phone, these are on the cloud, on USB stick and on my other phone. 💅🖕
people really need to understand perfidious German Position towards the Stupid Zionist more.
--> It is in the interest of a Anti-Semitic Fascist Conntinuation state to have his former Victim Proclaiming the Fascist belive themselfs.
--> it is in the Interest of a Anti Semitic Fascist Continuationstate to have its former Victim taking Palestinian Land instead of "German Land" -( Have you ever managed to companstate somebody by giving him foreign Property? Lol ? Sell of the century )
--> it is in the Interest of a Anti Semitic Fascist Continuationstate to have the Belive that "jews dont belong into Europe" beeing proclaimed from the other side as well.
Zionist really need to ask themself if this "West german Intelligencia" that build a State that Simmulataniously "Regretted Deeply" while it armed itsself againt the "Red Manace" and Planned Post Nuclear war against its eastern brothers." while Basiclly employing the same personal - Did they all really had suddenly "their" best interest in minds ???
Maybe , just maybe - the Fascist Continuation-State has their very own interest in Mind ?
The predictable swerve, the pivot. The ability to point back to their last minute words only objections to the genocide after it's concluded and sob about how they realized too late what those scheming Jews were up to and how they tricked them and oh it was all Netanyahu and a few other bad apples really. Thus they believe preserving their righteousness, their ability to shit on China and Russia and other places. Never forget their actions, their support, their lack of action and duty to stop it even after admitting it was going wrong. They'll claim it was only after that they realized it amounted to genocide and wring their hands and weep for the Palestinian people who once were and once again say never again while casually slinging around the genocide accusation at Russia, at China, at AES, etc.
I said months ago in a particularly depressing pub analogy that the UK and others in the West (Germany has been a sterling exemplar naturally) that we would help attack the ghetto, build the camps, run the trains, catalogue the victims, run the work camps, see the malnutrition, see the death, help build the showers and then act offended when the guards started pushing people into them. 
Ass-saving time!
they just say the quiet part out loud
It was EVER justified?
The germans being so genocidal without any 'skin in the game' so to speak makes them so much worse than the Americans or Israelis to me.
How many months of genocidal grace period is expected between ethno-nationalist friends? Social media really has changed the expectations of these relationships.
Merz said he plans to have a call with Netanyahu this week to tell him “to not overdo it.” Yet he added that for “historical reasons,” Germany would always be more guarded in its criticism of Israel than other EU members.
German
opinion discarded
Can't believe anti-semitism has been able to creep up so high in Germany's administration 
It must be all the refugees from the middle east, Germany is now KHamas
So it also means it was justified up to may 26 according to him.
the only justified genocide is white genocide
It was never justified you pathetic moral coward.
Ghoul cries crocodile tears.
