Europe's complicity in Israel's imperialism has been a colossal embarrassment.

That reaction from the German government was to be expected, Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Netherlands-based Counter Extremism Project, told DW.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_Extremism_Project

The group is modeled on United Against Nuclear Iran, an advocacy group led by Wallace which has had success increasing economic pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In 2017, GlobaLeaks obtained information allegedly originating from the email account of Yousef Al Otaiba, revealing a relationship between Otaiba, the UAE government, CEP and United Against Nuclear Iran. CEP and UANI are both led by Mark Wallace, who was employed as a senior adviser of The Electrum Group LLC by its chairman, Thomas Kaplan, the UANI’s top donor. Kaplan also maintains business relations with the UAE.

Nice. A Pro-US Imperialism, Pro-Israel, Pro-UAE, Anti-Iran "NGO" is quoted by the DW on German policy regarding Iran...

Schindler does not believe that the current military escalation will change anything around Germany's position on Israel. "We're not just any other country. We're Germany, with the history of the Holocaust," he explained. "In that sense there's absolutely no other moral or ethical option than expressing solidarity with Israel.

Whan an evil ghoul he is. There is international law and human rights, which Germany has vowed to uphold and Israel is massively violating. Israel is fundamentally opposed to upholding these and has enshrined both in its constitution and laws that it will break these international obligations. The only moral and ethical option is to uphold these obligations and force Israel to abide by them.

During his visit to Cairo, Wadephul commented on the Iranian strikes that came in retaliation for the earlier Israeli ones. "We condemn the indiscriminate Iranian attack on Israeli territory in the strongest possible terms," ​​Wadephul, a member of the CDU, said. "Iran is currently attacking Israel with hundreds of drones. There are initial reports of casualties. These developments are more than worrying."

That is the reality of Germanys position and shows how completely beyond reason they are. Israel starts an unprecedented attack on Iran, bombs residential areas killing dozens of civillians and Germany calls that "self defense" while condemning the counter-attack as "indiscriminate" hours before anything arrives in Israel. Germany is a complete joke when it comes to upholding international law.

I am going to be watching with a not insignificant amount of glee when AfD manages to take power in Germany specifically because of shit like this.
